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.

  Great Crossover - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Dr Mutzi - September 12 - 3:40 pm

  Fun to drive - always gets excellent reviews and comments from others. Had the vehicle for 11 months, driven over 20000 miles, average 23.5 mpg and did I say it was AWD. Love the phone, sunroof, interior, and open space. Also, I tow this vehicle behind my motorhome for over 10000 miles with no problems.

  By Peter NM CT. - August 25 - 12:00 am

  This vehicle exceeeds expectation, I looked at the Lexus RX in Greenwich CT. It was small. The workmanship, quality, and fuel economy are great in this American product.

  Fun car to own - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Ecoboost - August 5 - 12:13 pm

  Terrific car to own and drive. 21,000 miles and getting 17+ around town 24 on the highway. Great in snow and ice and on trips. We take 700 mile trips frequently and always enjoy the ride. Only negative is the hard seat cushions. Handling is good, mileage better than expected and overall performance excellent. Dealer experience is excellent. They went out of their way to satisfy me with the PTU problem and fixed it when other dealers were having difficulty.

  What A Car! - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By KeyedUp - June 25 - 10:03 pm

  Well, gotta tell you that this car is great. Ford just might have a winner here. Sure its a re-packaged Ford Edge, but they pulled it off. Fit and finish are perfect. Ride, handling and preformance are what youd expect. Well worth the extra dough over an Edge. I considered other crossovers, but they came off to me as either a station wagon or a small truck. Performace is better in the Lexus and couple of others which was nice but not important as the MKX is better priced. The MKX will get out of the way and run with any of them. Now, I only have a 1,000 miles with half that coming on a road trip that gave me 19.4 MPG. You gotta give MKX a look.

  Design for cold? No - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Roger C - April 1 - 3:46 pm

  Four months of driving and I still have problems with knocked knee caps on the dash. I took it in hoping that there was a recall on the tail gate lifting cylinders as any time below 32 degrees it only lifts 3/4 open. Slow learner took me two head knocks to remember to push up to load, so I have to open back gate before taking things out of the house. My Town and Country does not have this problem. Dealer said it works when in the shop and would do nothing to fix the problem. As a new stock holder I hate to write this but as a tax payer I more understand why some companies should go out of business.

  Wow! - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By RT - February 13 - 9:06 am

  What an incredible car. We had a 2006 Cadillac CTS. Had to move to something not RWD and a little bigger. Looked at the Edge, looked at GM products, as I was a GM loyalist, but nothing compared to the MKX. Great styling, superb comfort, cool features, all rolled into one little sharp CUV. I could go on and on about this vehicle. We usually change cars it seems like every couple of years. I dont see us giving up the MKX. Oh I almost forgot, zero interest as well. Now who doesnt love free money! What a super value all around. Always looking forward to the next time I get to drive it.

  Bargain Luxury - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Todd W. - January 27 - 5:13 pm

  I wanted a vehicle that could tow up to 3500 pounds and not drive like a noisey / bouncy truck. This car is awesome! Ive had it over a year now, put 15,600 miles on it, and it has operated flawlessly. To make it perfect, Ive added an aftermarket backup camera and additional matching wood trim to the "Plain Jane" painted areas around the radio / center console areas. I love that it can quietly / rapidly accelerate and briskly corner without leaning. Year - end rebates, bonus cash, and generous dealer discounts made it irresistible.

  not good - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By jax not satisfied - September 16 - 11:36 am

  Although I love the looks and feel of this vehicle it has been nothing but a headache. Always in the shop. It is wonderful to drive when it is running! Service department seems to have no clue on what is wrong. Can anyone say lemon? it is unfortunate that I have had this experience because I had my eye on a Lincoln for a long time before I decided to buy one. Now it seems I made a huge mistake. I am thinking about getting a more reliable vehichle and just giving up on my pretty Lincoln. I need a car that is dependable because I have an infant and I dont want to be stranded on the side of the road again. So sad

  I put it through its paces - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Vince - September 10 - 6:30 pm

  I researched and drove just about every mid sized SUV out there before deciding on the MKX. It came down to the Lexus RX and the MKX. No question, the MKX is a better value than the RX, especially with the year deals out there. I bought the MKX the day before Christmas. We took it on a long trip the week after Christmas that involved roughly 2,000 miles of driving. FL to NC to VA and back to FL. The driving was a good mix of interstate, around town and curvy mountain roads. I could not be happier with the performance and handling! We averaged roughly 24 MPG on the highway, 18 around town. Right on the money per the window sticker. This car is everything I expected and more!

  Move away from the edge - 2008 Lincoln MKX
  By Lanis - June 16 - 7:20 pm

  Compared the Edge to the MKX and the MKX is a better value and better looking. Bought the MKX in March with the 20" chrome wheels and black exterior. Looked at an another MKX with the 18" wheels but the 20" looks extra nice. The monochrome limited edition completes the package! Average 18 MPG in mixed driving with no problems at all. Really like the telescoping wheel since I am very tall. Lots of rear seat room as well as room behind the rear seats. Good size for a family of four. Was worried about not having AWD since I live in snow country, but the FWD MKX did extremely well in our last major snowstorm!
