MyLincoln Touch sinks this car

The car is very comfortable, attractive and seems solidly built. Tt drives great and would be a terrific commuter if not for the MyLincoln Touch system. Which is awful! It is enough to make me dislike the entire car and I regret buying it. It's not responsive, the buttons are too small, the screens are busy, and even the physical volume and fan swipe controls often don't respond. It's a worse hazard than using a smartphone while driving, I am amazed that vehicles are allowed to use this design. I have set a rule for myself that I do not use it except for very minimal commands while driving because it's such a distraction from the road. And since I commute 2 hours a day, that's a lot of time to spend with a junky system. I'm disappointed and embarrassed that I spent a lot of money on this car. I will probably trade it in on something else. This is the first time I've ever contemplated doing that, I've kept all my other cars for over 10 years and enjoyed them. This one was a mistake.

I bought a 2012 Lincoln MKX last year and every time I get in this car, I just love it. Great design, easy to drive. The Lincoln SYNC system isn't bad (although designed by Microsoft) as far as my Iphone and blue tooth is concerned but it truly sucks with the Navigation. Most of the time that stupid woman doesn't understand what I'm saying (Calgary). Because she doesn't understand I want to type it in myself and then the battle begins. I would much prefer to use my iPAD and not Lincolns Sync system - much easier to use. The engineers should drop Microsoft and embrace Apple

One Awesome Crossover

I researched this rig a lot and it is exceeding all the good news I found. We got a loaded one including the adaptive cruise - that is a great safety feature. The backup camera is awesome and there are also sensors in the taillights - not on the bumpers - very cool. On the second day, my wife was backing up and the sensors went off because a woman started walking behind her - an injury/law suit saved. The car has many redundancies built in which are extremely valuable. For example, the car can be entered with the fob, the touch handle, the Securicode on the door, or a key that is in the fob. It is keyless, pushbutton start - my wife leaves fob in her pocket. Gas mileage is near EPA.
"Learning" to love my Lincoln...

Traded my ML350 Benz for this little jewel in April. Drove it off showroom floor. Loaded. All options. Its my second car. The first few months, I did not like this car. I wouldnt drive it. I couldnt figure out how anything worked and was constantly having to actually pull over, and get out the owners manuals and learn how to turn on this or that option. It was very frustrating. However, in time, and after 6000 miles, I have, indeed fallen in love with this car. I find myself chosing to drive it more and more. IT has a learning curve for sure, but with some patience and teaching the old dog new tricks, its a great, fun car, that turns heads, and a real treat to drive,you will learn to love.

Just got 2011 model after 48,500 miles on the 2009. New one has more power, is quieter, and technology is improved. Love the comfortable ride since I drive 600-700 miles/week. New model has better materials-not as much plastic. Nice new look all around. Have had Lexus RX, Highlander and Grand Cherokee in the past- MKX blows them all away. The 2009 did great in bad weather-no reason to think 2011 is any different in that regard. Highly recommended.
