Used 2010 Lincoln MKX Consumer Reviews

2010 Let's Do it Again!!!!

I was in the market for an SUV, I intended to purchase a Volvo XC60. My sister talked me into going to test drive an MKX....I loved the vehicle as soon as I sat in the drivers seat! I absolutely love the cooling and heating seats too!! I've had no mechanical problems, other than normal required maintenance. My only improvement would've been automatic side windows, (I have to reach in or out of the vehicle to close the side mirrors). This is one of the best vehicles I've had the pleasure of driving, I plan to drive this SUV until the wheels fall off (hopefully I'm not in it at that time) LOL!!! I love it!

2nd Lincoln owner

I traded from a Lincoln LS V8 for the 2010 MKX; I was looking for all wheel drive, and I liked all of the included features of the MKX. A similar equipped import would have cost $20,000 more than the MKX. Trust the reviews of the owners and not auto reviewers. Real owners seem to like the vehicle more than the car reviewers.

American Luxury

We traded our beloved Ford Fusion for something bigger and more luxurious. We are very pleased with our choice. The MKX is large enough to haul our family and our things, but it is not difficult to drive around town. The handling in inclement weather is great. We had our MKX for a few weeks before a blizzard struck. It handled the snow and ice without any problems.

Practical sizeand reliable, solid design

Be sure top of dash board does not reflect onto window, as you will need dull black $100. 'rug' to stop driving through the reflection.

Love my Lincoln

I love my 2010 Lincoln MKX. I feel safe and comfortable. Hands free and GPS have been a big help. Great on long trips. No-it is not for sale, this is a keeper!

Imports Beware!

Imports Beware! Just took delivery of my MKX and my wife and I are very happy. I am in the automotive business so I was able to do a lot of research and test drives on similar Crossovers and found the MKX the best in safety (5 Star) and value. Went to Orlando this weekend, a 3 hour trip and the MKX met all our expectations: Comfort, Fuel Mileage and Luggage space. This vehicle is replacing a BMW that I had for 3 years and the car was wonderful so the MKX needed to fill big shoes and it did. The X5 would have been my other choice but was smaller and almost 15-20k more. The X3 was out of the line up as it was even smaller. All the other imports in my opinion were over priced and over rated.

I would recommend the MKX

The wife and I liked the 08 MKX we had(a lease) so much that we purchased the 10 model. The MKX has been a great vehicle for traveling. The vehicle is comfortable, roomy, performs well in all weather conditions, and for the size has good performance. The gas mileage is the only down side. We took the vehicle on a 4000 mile trip and 19-21mpg on the highway is the best we could get. Overall I would recommend this vehicle, over Lexus or the others.

Great SUV

I like my 2010 Lincoln MKX. I have not had any problems with the full size vehicle. With the back seats down, the vehicles holds so many suitcases and bags for vacation. The A/C works exceptionally especially in humid weather conditions. It has plenty of power and the braking system is great as well. I own a 2001 Ford Escape and wanted an upgrade to the Lincoln. The MKX is a sturdy well built vehicle.

Awesome!

I recently purchased my 2010 Lincoln MKX and LOVE this vehicle. It has lots of cabin space, a smooth ride and equipped for a queen! Luxury at its best. We took it across country and never got tired of driving. This is a dream to drive! My advice: take into consideration the reviews of those of us that have purchased this car. You won't be sorry!

A beautiful car with a very dark side

I have been driving this car for several hundred miles and have come to the conclusion that Lincoln don't seem to really know much about actual driver involvement - this is a fine car to be a passenger in, but it's a miserable vehicle to drive in the long term. The engine/trans has a decided lag between pressing the pedal and when it actually starts to accelerate. The steering has a 'notch' at its neutral position, wherever that may be at the time, where reversing input on the wheel causes it to skip about 2 degrees before the power unit kicks over, then it's reasonably smooth. The instrument panel appears very plain and poorly-designed, with several functions such as outside air temp and time only displayed far down on the center console; too much info the driver needs is not within the driver's most important view. For a car of its size, it has poor head- and legroom for a 6'2 driver, especially with the panoramic sunroof; there is no place to put one's left foot comfortably, and the driver's knees invariably end up against very hard plastic corners on both the door-mounted armrest and the center console. There is not enough rearward travel on the seat, and raising the seat also moves it forward, so there is nothing gained there; the seat is comfortable around town, but after a long highway trip, the driver's legs, hips and back can be very stiff and sore. The SYNC system is easily the worst infotainment system on the market (this is the 201 version - it has been upgraded several times since then); not only does it not sync at all with some mass-market phones (i.e. this reviewer's Samsung Galaxy Note 3), it often gets stuck in the connection mode and will not switch to any other using any of the buttons, and the car has to be shut off to reset it. The manual tuning knob has no detents, so changing a station requires both finesse and the driver's eyes far to the right and down - a small turn usually skips through 2 stations, yet trying to move through several stations rapidly is a chore worse than trying to use a corkscrew - after several turns, you find you've only gone through 7 or 8 stations. The USB port does not have enough power to charge a phone. Inserting a USB thumbdrive results in an index of the files, which appear to be played in alphabetical order, despite how they may be organized on the drive, although one can group them; your best option is to use the power port with a dedicated charger, and use a 3.5mm patch cable to hook your phone's headphone jack to the car's aux input.

Fuel

We owned jeeps Grand Cheroke all our lives. When we took a look to the Lincoln MKX, we fall in love with it. #1 it advertise 21 miles in the city and 27 on Hiway. We just went to orlando and we loved the ride. The only problem is that my old 2002 /8 cyl.jeep make better mileage, than the Lincoln mkx, which mark an average of 18 miles per gallon. We are senior citizens and travel all over. I am concerned about the gas. If it does not improve we will trade it back. Please let me know if there is something wrong with this car. thank you.

2010 Lincoln MKX

Just a dependable as my wife's Camry with a better ride and classier design.

Fun and Very Comfortable for the City

Decided to buy a comfortable, yet practical car for around the city. I need to be able to comfortably maneuver and park in garages. I also wanted something high end and very well built and with good value. For me the 2010 MKX fit the bill. I received a good deal for a fully loaded model and it turned out to be only a few thousand more than a loaded Ford Edge, but, much better appointed. Get the Xilon coating. The first week I parked it outside at a shopping center and some retard decided to key it from the front fender all the way down to the rear. It buffed right out.

First Lincoln

My wife and I just replaced our Cadillac. We were going to buy foreign, but with the latest troubles with one of the companies, we thought twice. The jury is still out, but so far the car is what most people have said it would be. The gas mileage is what we got with the Caddy. One good thing is it uses Reg. gas.

Lincoln!

Impressive ride. Had a jeep for 6 years, the MKX is a breath of fresh air. Did extensive comparison with Lexus, Cadillac and Toyota. Lincoln wins hands down. Got an excellent price too! Wife has a BMW, mine is better!

Great vehicle

Just purchased an MKX. We had an Eddied Bauer Explorer. This blows it away. Rides very smooth, all interior accessories are very well placed and easy to use. Seems to have more room for the driver then the Explorer. Like any SUV gas mileage is a little rough but did not purchase it for exceptional gas mileage. Very solidly built and very comfortable. So far has exceeded our expectations. Handles very well in wet weather

I absolutely love it!

The only issue I have is the drive side seat squeaks constantly which is so annoying and kind of embarrassing when you have someone riding with you and they ask....

2010 MKX Limited - Nice Car!

6/2018 MKX just rolled over 100,000 miles. No problems and car still looks great. I am thinking about trading it in for a 2017 MKX.

Awsome ride

I just purchased the Lincoln MKX and took it on a 5000 mile road trip. At the very beginning we ran into a snow storm the highway was poorly plowed and the MKX with AWD did not miss a beat I saw numerous vehicles off the road 18 wheelers, cars and trucks. The MKX was awesome, it was hard to see the shoulder and I drove on it several times it just did not miss a beat. The best driving car I every drove.

Recall

The airbag recall is ridiculous. They have had our mix at the dealership for over a month and still do not know when we will get it back!

I've opened it for a year & love it

I had to drive a rental for several months while recalls were fixed & I bought it used without paying attention to year of battery & I can't figure out how to turn off the radio & have a hard time getting blue tooth to accept new devices but other then that I love it. I've driven cars, trucks, school buses, etc... I love the way this SUV handles, & the seats are so comfy I could drive it across country without worrying about my back. My grandchildren have plenty of room in the back, & I've had talk people comment on the leg room in both front & back being more then adequate! Lumbar support had spilled me in both driver & passenger seat!

44 and this is the best I have ever had

It drives flawlessly.. smooth as butter.. I bought it for 10,000 and I feel like I got a steal.... I love the sleek design and cool and heated seats dual temp control.. lighting in the interior is great.. would recommend this vehicle to a loved one you want to be sure they feel safe in the vehicle they drive

The Ultimate Christmas Gift!

My wife surprised me with a 2010 Lincoln MXK for the holidays and I am impressed with this vehicle. This is my first crossover vehicle. We live in Philadelphia where the roads are terrible. The MKX is very smooth with excellent handling. There are no blind spots to worry about due to the large side mirrors. The overall responsiveness of the MKX is great when driving in challenging conditions like snow. We just received 24" of the white stuff and the MKX remained under control at all times. The turning radius is excellent as well when trying to negotiate small side streets and tight parking spaces. The MKX is meeting the challenges of the city without hesitation.

What you wanted as a kid

Prepare to be very satisfied

Very poor service on this car

A nice car but the service is very very bad. If you are a luxury car buyer who is used to service from others like Toyota, Honda, Land Rover, BMW, Hyundai etc you will be shocked at the service from Lincoln.

No Leg Room

Just bought the 2010 MKX and took it on a 1000 mile trip. I did not have any leg room; my corolla has more leg room. My wife has to sit under the steering wheel to reach the pedals. The auto seat buttons are not located in the proper place. Whit them mounted on the side of the door, when you lean over to reach an ATM or to pay a toll you lean against the buttons and the seat will start moving, also I bumped the buttons several times with my elbow while driving and the seat started moving. The rear vents cannot be shut off if someone get too hot or cold (had to put a towel over them to shut them off).

Once Again, Lincoln

Lincoln has produced a great "Crossover" vehicle! I test drove almost every suv and crossover on the market and choose the MKX. I understand the Audi Q5 is a wonderful driving machine but it lacked the necessary space I was searching for.

LOVE MY LINCOLN

I absolutely love my 2010 Lincoln MKX i traded in my 2006 Range Rover Supercharged for it. This crossover hauls to say its around 200 hp less than my range s/c. I test drove every similarly sized crossover I could think of and none come close. The Cadillac SRX is nice but sluggish and the lexus was oddly laid out on the inside. I paid 50k for the fully loaded limited edition with the dual dvd headrests and 600 watt sound system and im glad i spent the money. Lincoln has really brought themselves up to the plate.

dual climate control

I purchased a 2010 Lincoln MKX and am dissatisfied with the dual climate control air conditioning system. The system in the automatic mode does not cool the vehicle as stated in the manual. This was witnessed by service manager at the Ganley dealership in cleveland as well as a regional rep. They state the system is working within ford's parameters. Flaw is that if the temperature outside is above 80 degrees the inside temp of the system is set at 70 or 72, when the temp inside the vehicle hits 80 the fan speed will reduce, and the vehicle will not cool in a reasonable amount of time (20 minutes? )as the manual states.I cannot safely drive and dial in the manual a/c.

value for money

This SUV packs a lot of value for money and and cost thousands less than the imports. It has all the TOYS the imports don't have. Why buy offshore when domestic quality is equal or better.

Love the MKX

We've had our MKX for about a month now. We were previous Cadillac owners but I have to say I love the Lincoln. It has great toys and the Nav system is wonderful. Very comfortable, fun to drive and very sexy. We are still learning how to operate all the gadgets but I love it.

Lincoln not all it's cracked up to be!

Safety features and sub par brake performance!

Sucks

I own a Lincoln mkx 2010 this SUV is junk, sluggish and the worst possible vehicle I own

Looked at Everything

Looked at the ML350, MDX, SRX, Q7 and the Edge. What sold me on the MKX was the Sync voice activation, the THX surround sound system and the vista moon roof (I got the 102A package.). I never would have thought that I would have bought a Lincoln at 34 (I think of my Dad's old car) but this is definitely a new wave of Lincolns. I came out of a Land Rover LR3 with the Mark Kardon system and the THX sound in the MKX blows it away. Only improvements would be front parking sensors and not having to say "USB" to get to the ipod menu.

Great American Luxury Car

I love this vehicle. I've been driving Saabs, but decided to switch to an American-made car. I could not be happier with my purchase. The car is stylish and comfortable. I feel like I'm driving a luxury car that is still unique. It's been great!

Golfers delight

Average American Car

Less money spent on a non American import delivers more value, higher technology, better reliability, better handling and resale. My last American car!

No problems with this vehicle. My wife loves it

Great vehicle. Nice ride and lots of comfort Recommend 100 %
