"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 bought a 2013 MKX. After owning Subaru Outbacks for years, I couldn't stomach the new ugly models with useless cargo racks. I was looking for cargo space, kayak carrying capability, comfortable seats, a color other than gray, black or white, and gas efficiency. The MKX beat out the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, the Cadillac, the VW Toureg, and the Lexus. Most of the others had very ugly silver consoles. The MKX has everything I was looking for and is beautiful inside. The seats and finish are wonderful. I love the steering wheel controls. Only thing I'm not crazy about is the front end - low and massive. First American branded car I've owned in over 30 years! Good Job Ford!

I've had this car for 18+ months and I'm looking to trade. At 5 months the brakes were making a terrible grinding. My rotors already needed turning. I have since replaced the rotors at 35k miles. Yes I "still" have the car - hauls kids hockey equipment well. At one year, my battery needed replacing after many complaints of odd electrical malfunctions. My wipers still go on for no reason, on a completely sunny day sitting at a stop light. My radio features sometimes go awry, not going to preset channel or displaying two different stations on the dash compared to instrument cluster screen. Acceleration is sluggish, once you're going ride is comfortable. Absolutely hate the blinker. Every time I use it I think its going to break and sometimes I flash my brights just using it. Too hard to operate - what we're they thinking?!? Wasn't it tested? All weather tires are terrible in the snow/rain. Hate to spend extra $ on winter tires although many do, but I have one tire that's sounding out of round and need a new set (even though they have half tread left). Road noise is overwhelming and more than I should have for a "luxury" vehicle. Once it turned past 50k and out of b2b warranty, started having issues with shifter and car recognizing its in "P" or park. I have to fiddle with the shifter trigger every time until P is orange, then message goes away. New issue at 68k miles - common to Edge / MKX - Door ajar, sensor issue. Cost appears to be $375+. Drivers door appears to be ajar, open/close and hope it goes away. However one night after getting dash message to disappear I was driving down the road and system thought door was open, dash indicator appeared and all cabin lights came on making it very difficult to see. Had to pull over and open/close door until message went away. Also new issue: Driving home, car just killed. Lost power steering, power brakes. Put it in park and started it again. Really!?! No codes appeared - well of course not! Tech said its very hard to determine but did advise me not to leave key fob in the car or vicinity of the car. It tries to make contact with the computer and may drain fob battery. Thinks "maybe" day it killed there was a contact loss between fob and car and it didn't detect car was being driven with a key in it so it killed the engine. I get the "No Key Detected" all the time, even with key in cup holder, my pocket, purse. Doesn't matter. I did purchase winter tires for this car and what a world of difference it makes. Bluetooth speaker is slightly behind the visor, making it hard for others to hear you. 70k mile update - Traded. Dealer said door sensor is a $4-500 fix. Part alone is $180. Common for driver and passenger front doors. Sadly, no Ford recall on the issue currently. I could try the contact spray fix first, but many say it doesn't fix the problem. I'm opening/closing my door 4-8 times each time I open it just to get the sensor to realize it's really closed. This car has too many electrical issues for me to deem it reliable enough to repair and fix it. Other than that, I did like the vehicle and would have rather kept it. Electrical issues can be a hit/miss fix and end up costing thousands. Hopefully someone else enjoys it, it lasts awhile and they don't get stalled somewhere.

We bought this car used. Our only complaint is that the car wanders. It feels like something is loose in the steering system. We am getting that looked at today. Other that that we am not quite used to the dash controls yet. Our verdict is still out on the dash controls, change always takes some getting used to. We like the reliability and performance so far. We average 3 to 4 more MPG than our old Nissan with much better performance. The Interior is very comfortable, easy to get into and out of. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis so I appreciate that and the heated seats. In our opinion it is much better than the Cadillac's that we looked at.
