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.

The MKX is a nice luxury car. Great pick up and the comfort is unbeatable. My only criticism is the sound system of my 2013 is below par for the price of the car. I mention it every time I take it for service and am always told the system works and sounds fine. It really doesn't. It's tinny. The surround sound is a joke. You can adjust all you want and there's very little change. I understand the 2016 has a new sound system. I know why.

Classy as Me

my 2013 Lincoln MKX is a classy ride for a classy lady, she rides smooth, has had small minor problems as any vehicle would have. My maintenance is kept up to date - that makes a difference. I take care of her as I do myself. I recommend this SUV to responsible grown folks.
