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.

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

Couldve had a V8!!!! - 2008 Lincoln MKX
By Joy - September 8 - 1:05 pmI bought it used. Beautiful vehicle. Took it home decided to give it a a good wax job and to my surprise the rust was eating it up. I took it back to the dealership for help with this. Nothing, it has 54,000 miles on it and they told me to contact Lincoln. No help there either. About a year later, I receive safety recalls, rust corrosion because the 2008 was not sealed properly. So check your gas tank straps and cooling system for excessive corrosion. Took it for inspection, even the covering on my shocks are ate off by rust. The entire frame is extensively rusted. Lincoln said to have it inspected. I did. Yes its extensive Ms dumbass for buying this vehicle, but no safety issues so nothing will be done. I call bullshit!! This vehicle has been nothing but a money pit. BEWARE!! I will never buy another FORD product.

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