I leased this Linclon for my wife who has her grandchilders at time. She is extreamly happy with the car.She can put both of the grandchildern in the rear car seats without bending. The car has 7,000 mile and never been back to the dealership for any reason. I enjoy driving this & when I take it on a trip I get 25MPG plus. Around town it gets high 17 or low 18. I like this Lincoln so well that I am considering the new 2009 or 2010 Lincoln MKS for my business car. P/S I also own a LS 430 Lexus.

Automatic Trunk

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 doesn't close. It goes down and up and not closing properly. Been at the dealership twice already.

I put it through it's paces

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!

Great SUV

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.

Design for cold? No

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.
