Overview & Reviews

The 2008 Lincoln MKX receives the new Sync electronics interface system. Also, former options are now standard equipment, including reverse parking sensors, satellite radio, and heated and cooled seats with memory. Voice activation is added to the optional navigation system. A pair of special edition appearance packages is also now available.

• Comfortable and quiet ride, lots of standard features, spacious passenger quarters.

• Poor braking distances, smallish cargo capacity, low-grade interior materials, rock-hard front seats, no dynamic advantage over the Ford Edge.

  Wanted it to be better.... - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By LHC - September 5 - 11:43 pm

  When I first laid eyes on my 2008 White Chocolate "Tri-coat" Limited Edition and was in love! It was everything I wanted and more. I had shopped extensively, and being used to high-end vehicles, was amazed at the array of options that came with the MKX. Exterior/interior were gorgeous! Ive had it almost two years now, and still get stares while on the road. We all know what they are, so Ill decline to mention them here, again. However, after only two years, my lovely car must go. It seems to stay in the shop more than in my garage! The service dept seems clueless, too, with this SUV. So, I hate it, but Im looking to trade. I envy you guys who are not having trouble. Beautiful car!

  Second Post - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By KeyedUp - July 31 - 8:20 pm

  Ive had such good experience with this car, I had to send in another review. Gas mileage has greatly improved. Pure interstate driving yeilded 25 MPG and around town at 16 MPG so Im very pleased for this sized auto. Comfort, fit and finish all very good and the ride gets better everytime Im in the car. Now, my wife has discovered the MKX so shes driving it whenever possible. She like the great visiability without the big SUV size.

  Glad I bought this hot MKX - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Bud Andrews - May 28 - 2:40 am

  This is a great car and I truly enjoy driving it. Had a major road trip from mid south up to Niagara Falls and back this past summer. The MKX really shines on road trips, with plenty of power and quiet comfort. (Amazing - no road noise! No sqeaks or rattles!) Its a V6 but it has all the zip of a V8. The satellite radio, sound system, MS Sync, power and USB ports are all terrific. Couldnt do without them now.

  Elliotts MKX Update - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By ELLIOTT - May 24 - 5:06 pm

  Have now owned the car for one year and have 10,000 miles. No problems, in for oil change only. Leather and interior looks brand new, outside paint is almost perfect - no dings or chips. Actual gas mileage is 19.1 from inception. Car gets a lot of compliments. Paint job is much better that wifes similarily priced Toyota. Sync is superior system, the phone quality is crystal clear. Sound system is fantastic. The car still smells new. Very pleased with the purchase.

  Best I found - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Juice Man - February 9 - 10:43 pm

  After a year of searching, I found this to be the best in style, comfort, and steering. Quiet, smooth, and good looking. The leather is awesome, like the nav system, and sync was a major plus.

  A year looking, worth the wait - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Ms.KXpress - February 4 - 2:40 pm

  My lease was coming up on my landrover Lr3 so instead of emotional decisions (not good) I did my homework. I narrowed down a yearlong search to Lexus Rx, Lincoln MKX, and BMW X5.The BMW was only OK on the inside, after 3years in my LR3 I didnt want any sporty black plastic.I wanted wood,leather and comfort.I couldnt decide so I dealed on both.While I had to drop alot of toys to get the price I wanted on the Lexus, I actually added stuff to my MKX(dual dvds in headrest)plus my maintenance is free. My kids (three boys) LOVE the MKX.The comfort of the back seats that recline,big sunroof,and awesome THX surround sound. I couldnt be happier! Geez, I forgot to mention the sync :) LOL

  Gordons MKX - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Gordon - December 10 - 9:36 pm

  I have been driving this vehicle for a month and it is fun to drive. The MKX is quiet and smooth riding. 23 MPG on each of two short trips. 18 to 19 MPG around town. It is very responsive when the power is needed.

  Beats Lexus 350 IMO - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Clayt - September 23 - 1:00 pm

  My wife has been driving a Lexus 350 (3 different year models) for nine years.With nothing exciting about the Lexus styling anymore, we jumped to the Lincoln MDX. We sure dont miss the Lexus for a second. For a man, the Lincoln is a much better fit. I dont have to contend with the pull-down skinny armrests any longer when I drive it. And the features have it over the Lexus by a mile. Dont have to pay an extra $3500 either for blue tooth as in Lexus. Lincolns phone sync is great. Gas mileage is better than Lexus at 24mpg on road, and the sun roof is fantastic. I love this crossover and will get one myself at the end of 2009.

  Wow - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Jason - August 20 - 9:03 am

  The more I drive it the more I like it. My MKX is epuipped with the Sync system which lets you tell it what youd like to hear or who youd like to call through Bluetooth. Ive got a 160 GB hard drive connected to the system and can voice command my entire music library which is absoulutely amazing. I actually like the firmer seats that some of the reviews reference as a negative. They feel very German (I had a BMW that had very firm seats). The interior is great. Materials are quite nice and the ride is very quiet. My neighbor that has a 2007 M-B ML 63 AMG wants to trade in for the Lincoln (Im not kidding).He cant get over the sound system and the Vista Roof. I would definitely recommend
