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.

  Over-rated - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Morris Sgro - October 11 - 12:50 am

  As far as the exterior style goes, nice lines, sharp looking! Here comes the bad news! It has a horrible exhaust noise that sounds like a cow ready to give birth! The ride is smooth if youre on a newly paved road, but at higher speeds, turn up the volume! The MKX needs to be find tuned, there are just too many squeaks and rattles for it to be marked Lincoln! Its a glorified Ford Edge! Too bad! Nice looking!

  Superb Limited Edition - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By cb - October 1 - 12:03 am

  You know this is a special vehicle if I traded my 04 Mercury Marauder and 08 Ford Bullitt Mustang to get this. I have the AWD Limited Monochromatic version with all the goodies. Great looking black grille and two toned interior set it apart from the rest. Drives great and has enough power to accelerate when needed. Great ride height. Built very well. All doors sound solid when closing. Uncluttered engine compartment. Easy access through the powered rear hatchback.

  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.

  Great vehicle but - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Jim - May 29 - 12:23 pm

  This car is a pleasure to drive and especially to look at. I have never had a vehicle get as many admiring looks and compliments. Heres the "but" from the title. Ford is having a tremendous problem with the PTU in the Edge and MKX. Mine has been back 4 times with leaking seals. Ford has no idea how to correct the problem. I am very disappointed with the company. The car is absolutely wonderful but the experience is being ruined by the mechanical problem that Ford cannot fix. If they finally get it right the car will be wonderful. Take a look at the Edge forum on Fords site and see just what I am talking about.

  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.

  Not for Winding Roads or steep grades - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By aes - March 18 - 2:33 pm

  We live on a mountain with a 15% grade for 4 miles. Our last car, a Montego, performed excellently with a CVT. It lacked power and was noisy so we wanted the same car with a Lincoln trim. The MKX seemed like the best answer and they market the 6 speed transmission as barely perceptable shifting. The CVT is no longer available. Since all of the Lincoln dealers shut down near our house we bought this 50 miles away without a test drive on our hill. Big mistake! It is truly wonderful as all other reviewers say on normal roads but the transmission hunts horribly on our hill. The L setting shifts from 2nd to first abruptly when slowing around blind corners and you have to go back to D to 2nd.

  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.
