What owners say
"Owners generally find the 2008 Lincoln MKX to be a luxurious and comfortable SUV that offers good performance and features, although some feel it's overpriced for its age. Many appreciate the vehicle's comfort, interior features, and handling, while a few criticize the fuel economy and high pricing compared to newer models."
After driving a first generation Nissan Murano, I was really hoping to acquire another one - however the next gen Murano was not yet available so I test drove the Ford Edge and really liked it. I then looked at the Lincoln, because I preferred the "look" of it and got mine in late 2008 - and have not regretted my decision at all. It is a very comfortable and roomy vehicle with excellent performance (for a CUV) from the 265 HP V6. The heated, and cooled seats, provide good support, although a little more lateral support would be nice. In almost 63000 km of driving I have had NO problems with this vehicle and have come to really enjoy all the amenities such as the Sirius radio, the navigation system and the panoramic roof. I would highly recommend this vehicle and, in fact, the next generation looks even better (for 2011) My one and only quibble about the MKX is the inability to select gears on the six speed automatic.
August 13, 2010My personal favorite feature on this vehicle is the automatic opening and closing back hatch. Might seem strange but with my broken wrist it was a god send! I love the color, White Chocolate with cream leather interior, the HUGE sunroof and it's overall comfort. i was leary buying an American made vehicle at first but don't regret it at all. Ok...so the gas milage isn't the greatest but at least I can use regular fuel and not premium.
July 8, 2008I like this car mostly for how it handles and how it looks. It has been very easy on maintenance. This car is very luxurious and comfortable. This car has made my family feel very safe, yet I enjoy driving it.

September 10, 2014Fun, eager performer, great quiet comfort and luxury level. Great little truck when needed. Super for long trips. Perfect handling even at 95 MPH! I would buy another if this one gets killed. Passengers rave over comfortable rear seats which recline nicely.
July 9, 2013I sits up high but is not too large and gets around in traffic easily. Has 20+ miles per gallon on the road and has all of the luxuries you would expect in a Lincoln. Leather seats, navigation system, and back up sensor work great.
December 15, 2013Just sitting in the car makes you feel great. Comfortable and so many extras. It is luxurious. Look around because you can find much newer models at or around the same price.
May 6, 2021This is an exceptional value luxury SUV I love it.
May 21, 2020It's a Lincoln with a Duratec35 powerplant. I've owned the 2.5 v6 Duratec in a Contour, as well as a 3.0 in a Contour and a 2005 Escape. I love these engines, hi-redline and full of torque. Fortunately Steeda has some parts I can buy like a TB spacer, CAI, and an x3 tuner ($800 for all 3) they add over 35 WHP.. not bad.
March 15, 2011Too high in price to be 12 years old low miles its done alot of sitting or alot of short trips which is harder on a engine and transmission with highway miles.
