Used 2009 Lincoln MKX Consumer Reviews
Beats Lexus 350 IMO
My wife has been driving a Lexus 350 (3 different year models) for nine years.With nothing exciting about the Lexus styling anymore, we jumped to the Lincoln MDX. We sure don't miss the Lexus for a second. For a man, the Lincoln is a much better fit. I don't have to contend with the pull-down skinny armrests any longer when I drive it. And the features have it over the Lexus by a mile. Don't have to pay an extra $3500 either for blue tooth as in Lexus. Lincoln's phone sync is great. Gas mileage is better than Lexus at 24mpg on road, and the sun roof is fantastic. I love this crossover and will get one myself at the end of 2009.
Buy American and love it!
I drove all the crossovers and desided on the MKX.It has the best ride of all. I consider the MKX the best looking of all the crossovers.

Wow
The more I drive it the more I like it. My MKX is epuipped with the Sync system which lets you tell it what you'd like to hear or who you'd like to call through Bluetooth. I've got a 160 GB hard drive connected to the system and can voice command my entire music library which is absoulutely amazing. I actually like the firmer seats that some of the reviews reference as a negative. They feel very German (I had a BMW that had very firm seats). The interior is great. Materials are quite nice and the ride is very quiet. My neighbor that has a 2007 M-B ML 63 AMG wants to trade in for the Lincoln (I'm not kidding).He can't get over the sound system and the Vista Roof. I would definitely recommend
Midlife Vehicle
I drive a state vehicle for work and my wife has a one mile commute to work so our personnal vehicles have very low mileage. We do take a trip from Boston to NJ to visit the grandkids on our free weekends so we were looking for a real nice vehicle to make the trip a little easier. We searched around and decided on a MKX. It has already made four trips to NJ without any disappointments, it makes the journey so much more pleasureable. The MKX has not disappointed us one iota. But I have a question on the wheels, has anyone else noticed the chrome is seperate from the aluminum wheel? The Navigator wheel looks the same but it is one piece. And I have heard of the chrome on the MKX wearing off.
Not for Winding Roads or steep grades
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.
