This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Comfortable and quiet ride, lots of standard features, spacious passenger quarters.
Cons:
  • Poor braking distances, smallish cargo capacity, low-grade interior materials, rock-hard front seats, no dynamic advantage over the Ford Edge.

  • Automatic Trunk - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    We love this crossover. Rides nice and interior features are excellent. Had car for about 2 months and the only problem we encountered is the automatic trunk opener. Opens and doesnt close. It goes down and up and not closing properly. Been at the dealership twice already.

  • OK - 2008 Lincoln MKX

    Looking for a lot of features packed into one vehicle that you can buy for $36,000, (with elite and ultimate packages), this vehicle is a good value. We have driven BMW and Mercedes brands for the past 20 years. This vehicle is no match. Buying a two year old ML320 is a better value. Especially when the Lincoln gets 17.5 MPG highway. My wife would drive just about anything. If I dont have to drive this car more than once per week, thats plenty.

  • Great SUV - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    The wife and I purchased our MKX about three months ago and love it. We also test drove Lexus, Infiniti, Acura and others, and found all of them to be over priced with no more features then the MKX. I was at first skeptical to buy a Ford product, but now I am glad I did. The MKX has met our needs with room, comfort, excellent ride and price. My wife loves the Sync system, NAV system and THX sound system.

  • A Fun Ride - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    I researched the MKX and the Edge to death and decided on the MKX because of all the "bells and whistles". This car is so much fun to drive. Coming from an Expedition, this car still has a lot of room to transport two kids and all their sport equipment. I love the quiet ride and being wrapped in luxury. The Bluetooth capability is awesome.

  • Huge Surprise! MKX is Excellent! - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    First time buying American in years, and what a huge upside surprise this vehicle has been. Quality of build (interior and fairly tight exterior), has been very strong. Engine is very quiet and a lot stronger than expected. Ride is outstanding, almost sporty for a crossover. Power a/c seats, power liftgate, combination touch pad unlocking on driver door. We love this truck!

  • Impressive Vehicle - 2008 Lincoln MKX

    Very well built, impressive vehicle. Its got all the creature comforts, plenty of room, and gets good fuel economy for something of its size.

  • Love this SUV! - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    I have had my MKX for almost a week. I was coming off a lease on a Ford Freestyle. I was looking to upgrade a bit and test drove so many SUVs...Lexus RX350, Acura MDX, Cadillac SRX (more wagon like), Audi Q7, Mercedes R (again..more wagon like) and didnt really consider the MKX because I wasnt thrilled with my Ford. I test drove the MKX and fell in love. The ride is fantastic, price was great. Love Sync. So far extremely happy with my decision.

  • So Far So Good! - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    MKX quality far exceeds any that of the 2004 Saturn VUE I traded in. It is the perfect fit for my requirements; a versatile vehicle thats not too big with just enough extra convenience "stuff" to make it comfortable & fun. Great for country living with city style!

  • Great Car - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    We were looking for a vehicle large enough to carry 4 passengers and luggage to and from the airport. Turns out this car was that and also great to drive. Very comfortable ride and all of the amenities. Navigation works well. No service issues over 2 years. We were going to buy a less expensive crossover, but were glad we didnt. "Sync", however, is annoying. The usb port for the ipod is great, no wires, charges the ipod. Voice commands arent worth the trouble. The indexing tells you each time that it experienced problems and you need to go their website - right! The phone would not stay connected with the bluetooth. The dealer and tech support were no help. Overall, great car.

  • RV Towed ,DOA - 2008 Lincoln MKX
    By -

    My wife and I really like this SUV. It does the job, comfort, style and MPG. But when towed behind our Motorhome by the book, several times we have arrived at our destination with a dead battery in the MKX. The dealers say no problemo, there is nothing wrong with the suv. Just blank looks no solutions.We like the SUV but...
