Purchased my 08 mkx in 2010 with 22k miles. I expected to drive it a couple years and here it is with 166k miles and as I shop around, I am still happy with my ride in the mountains around Denver. Had some transmission trouble a couple years back but with the regular maintainance it has been a great ride. I’m considering a newer ride but, I don’t see anything else that has a better I love the double moon roof, heating and cooling seats as well as the light interior finish. I still get compliments on my vehicle and people are surprised it is as old as it is with the mileage. I am considering hanging onto it for another year or two.

I 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 it's 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.

I've had my 2008 MkX for 2.5 years now. I truly love this car. It's been very reliable for me. The features on this car are unique to its year, which is why buying used luxury is rarely a mistake. The transmission can occasionally be clunky, but it's not failing so it's a small annoyance at worst. 143k and I'd like to see 200k!

Have owned ten or more SUVs in the past 25 years, many costing far more. The MKX is the best in build quality, ride, comfort, and features. Very tight and quiet.

Fun car to own

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.
