Worst bang for the buck
I purchased this vehicle brand new loaded. At 5K miles I had to have the thermostat changed due to vehicle having a short and not starting. At 10K miles the power steering went out and took the vehicle to "Lincoln dealership for repairs and they had to fix the "power steering" over 6 times but would not classify the vehicle as a LEMON as they have experienced Lincoln advisors at the disposal of the service techs. well my car is in the shop yet again for the same thing and they had my car for over 2 weeks and I just received a call that I will just have to live with the slight whining noise in the vehicle. Are you kidding me. Lincoln doesn't stand behind their products so please stay away. **Update car was at the shop 5more times since this post power steering out yet again & Lincoln sent an engineer to the dealership after having my car for over 3 1/2 weeks only to be told the noise is something I will have to live with as they they have exhausted all avenues.?? Then the mechanic didn't tighten the bolts on the tire rod so another issue, I could have been killed no apologies from Lincoln. Now there is another noise like the axle is going to split apart the dealership tells me a loose pan underneath well that wasn't it the car is loud. I have been so tired of going back & forth with the dealership so I was FORCED to purchase a REAL luxury car an Audi.

new owner of 2013 Lincoln MKX
The vehicle has a lot of power and rides very smooth. Burns gas as do most SUV but it uses regular gas which is a plus. Interior is nice and comfortable. Very sleek and nice looking vehicle and so far I really like the vehicle.

Great SUV for the Money!
One of my priorities with getting a new vehicle was minimal road noise, in addition to a blend of performance, utility, and comfort. This SUV does everything I want. The cargo space if perfect for Costco runs, small items of furniture and similar. With the rear seats folded down there is more room, but because they don't lay flat, the extra room acquired is flattened since the lowest point is closer to the ceiling. So, a bicycle, 2x4s, but nothing bulky. The seats are comfortable, the car is responsive and quick enough to get out of hazardous situations. Braking is good (although apparently it takes 10 feet longer to stop than others SUVs in this class) I have had no maintenance/recall issues and I am at 55,000 miles. Mileage is OK. If I drove in the city I would assuredly have bought a different vehicle, since it's hard to see, the mileage really declines in the city, and the frame is essentially a giant box on wheels, which makes parking an adventure. The cons: mediocre sound system and poor visibility sides and rear. I even bought an aftermarket system, but it still isn't quite what I wanted. (My MKX is the standard model, and so had the low end sound system). Because the last thing you want to do is take out the factory unit, you have to add and tinker with components until you get the sound you want.

Nothing but problems!
I bought a 2013 MKX with 3,000 miles on it. I have regretted it since day one. First, the fuel gauge would not read correctly, then the moon roof stopped working (all within the first 6 months.) When I put gas in it, if you do not immediately drive it, it will shudder, shake, check oil light pops on and then the whole car shuts down. This is terribly inconvenient when you fill up, then get stuck at a red light! Then the dashboard intermittently stops working, so I cannot see my control panel and have no idea how much gas I have. The navigation worked intermittently for a while, but has officially died as well. Now the rear windows won't roll down and the brakes are making a horrendous noise. The digital control panel was always fickle. It only has 38,000 miles on it, but I can't stand it any longer. I am looking to trade it for a highlander. Toyota has always been dependable for me. I will never touch another Lincoln or Ford again.
