Luxury with some sportiness

Overall I think this vehicle is very well built, strong engine, and AWD that is smart and knows what to do when you need it. I did purchase pre-owned with over 60,000 miles but I love the 3.7 V6 and transmission pairing. My mom has a 2013 as well, both of us enjoy it a lot. You can sit back and ride along with traffic comfortably, but when you need to get up and go or maneuver though traffic, the transmission and 3.7 V6 are quick and power you through what you need. It handles great around corners and through town. It's not too big but just big enough, anytime I have rear passengers they always compliment the room they have and the heated seats. My only complaint is the shifter, sometimes it doesn't know it's in Park and you have to jiggle the button a little, and after turning a corner when it's going into 2nd gear it's a tiny clunky, but my last car (Mazda) has the same issue, so I'm light with the gas pedal after turning corners.

We bought a 2 yr old MKX after owning Japanese cars for 16 years. So far it's better than we imagined in all areas. Powerful, smooth, quiet with all of the features we could ask for. After owning it for a year, I can say that the navigation system is very complicated. Unnecessarily so. And the turn signals are overthought. Too complicated for such a simple function. But we still love the car.
Impressed with MKX

We purchased the MKX to replace 2012 Infiniti FX 35 we had for 2 years. Although we loved the FX35, we both decided that we needed more interior space for travel. The FX 35 is not as roomy and accommodating. So far this has been a joy to own. Smooth and noise free driving. I am surprised to see that others have not had this same experience. We had a 2010 VW Toureg prior to the Infiniti and it was built rugged as well as luxurious. So, the MKX has a nice feel in the middle. I think it will hold well to taking the dogs to the vet as well as transporting the grandchildren to activities. I will come back and update after owning for a year, any negative issues.

I purchased NKX after having owned a Volkswagen Touareg. Though the Touareg is more cutting edge performance and bluntly utilitarian in its style, the Lincoln MKX is an amazing SUV! Fit, finish and features are top notch and the luxurious touches are limitless. It is the most impressive vehicle I have ever owned and America should be proud. Style is impressive and the standard and optional features arebvery well valued. Bang for buck, nothing came clove to the MKX.
Quality and Classy

I love this car. I've been given nothing but great compliments on the interior and exterior looks of this car. I love how it hugs the road, is very responsive and the fact that the ride is very quiet. I had a Jeep prior to the Lincoln and could hear and feel every pebble and crack in the road. The heated steering wheel is a god-send here in New Hampshire. I bought this vehicle used with only 12,000 miles and what a deal! The gas mileage isn't the greatest at about 22mpg but thankfully gas is fairly cheap right now. I'd rather give up gas mileage than skimp on comfort. This is one of the most luxurious vehicles I have ever owned.

Best car we've owned

The 2014 MKX we now own is our second MKX. After going to dinner with the pastor and his wife a few years ago in their MKX, my wife wanted one. We bought a 2009 one owner and put over 50k miles on it totally trouble free. We had no intention of buying another anytime soon, but saw the '14 on a local dealers lot. Loaded with ever options available except AWD, the condition, color and price was too good to pass up. We sold the '09 to a family member who loved it, and bought the '14. We love the '14. The navigation can be a bit frustrating, and I'm not fond of having to pay to update it. Otherwise, I cannot think of any thing we don't like about the car. Decent fuel mileage, amazing ride and comfort, and a good value, especially if you buy it used as we did. I suspect that we will remain a Lincoln family as long as they make amazing small SUVs like this.
Still not happy with it - looks nice though

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.

New MKX

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!
MKX x off the others!

Room and lots of it. High tech everything 4wd is a waste of money. 2wd works fine for Ohio. Towing a small 5 x 8 trailer with this car was no problem on a 3000 mile trip. Drove the 2015 and up model and I do not like it, way too small.
