2016 Lincoln MKX Reserve 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
2 of 7 people found this review helpful
Pros: We were shopping for a luxury SUV Crossover. We have not owned an American car in decades. We test drove the usual suspects, the RX350, Honda Pilot, Acura MDX, but kept coming back to the MDX because of its powerful 2.7L Ecoboost engine, generous cabin space, Sync 3 (Do not get the older version of Sync), as the Sync 3 is fantastic and quite intuitive. The 4 year warranty made us feel better about buying American. We have had our MDX for a month now and love it! We will be taking it on a long road trip soon and we will report back about how the MDX performed. Cons: Gulps down fuel and seem to always be filling it up.

This is a very nice car with loads and loads of little doodads. It's nice to have a lot of choices in user interface, on cars with lots of features, no doubt! However,,, when this new concept of push button start (as opposed to using a key which is intentionally placed within its slot and manipulated by your fingers and not mistakeable for some other push button, or easily "brushed"), well, there's quite a difference! After having shut off my car while driving down the street on a couple of occasions now within my first 24 hours of ownership I'd have to say that Lincoln didn't quite get this one right!!! (at least not in model year 2016!) I won't go on endlessly here but push buttons and all sorts of touchscreen HMI are by no means foreign to this operator. (I know all about that stuff and get paid good money professionally to do that sort of thing.) Lincoln should NOT have put this one out. I suppose being an old man you'll never convince me that keyless start is smart but I'm okay with it as long as it's not hazardous. After a few months of ownership now, I must say the thing IS QUIET! Not quite like a 70s Continental, but quieter than any of the competition that I'm aware of. (Too bad they won't take just a couple more steps to get that old Lincoln dead-silent interior) Smooooothe too! And I should warn anyone wanting to maintain impartiality and detachment in their selection process, DONT test this one at the end of a day, and try the 22-way adjustable seats, and hit the MASSAGE function! You won't want to buy it, YOU'LL WANT TO MARRY IT! Still, Mr.Lincolns engineers and stylists should have built a better car. Maybe they should all get their cars gas tanks sugared. The reason that, like Fords, Lincolns don't have a secured fuel point, is because some JERK, WAAAY up the ladder there has a bug up their ass. The customers suffer for it. Also, with the digital computing and data processing and display power this thing has, WHY CAN'T WE SEE ALL OF OUR POWER TRAIN AND CHASSIS CONDITIONS? I'm talking engine temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature, battery charge and voltage levels, alternator current, time since last service, last alarms, tire pressure,,,,, for starters. All the data is there. The operator and/or owner of the equipment deserves access to that info. Why does the camera function exclude A REAR VIEW, so the driver must put the vehicle INTO REVERSE to see the rear camera view?!!! What MORON made THAT engineering decision? Is there a chip to load those functions? Can I update or select my preference of UI and software/firmware features? Why not? While asking such tough but pertinent questions, why am I so much and so obviously better at knowing if and when to lock and unlock the doors and open or close the lift gate? Why must I and the other riders have this "just keep trying and it'll unlock /open once it figures you out" mentality? Then there's the dash configuration/shaping that keeps your stuff off of it, but little if any other convenient places exist. There's nowhere for your cellphone to sit, and let's just say that THIS Lincoln doesn't surpass or incorporate WAZE, Google maps, or better. Right now, my old body is keeping me with the seats in this rig. My tolerance for it's other shortcomings is strained. People buy Lincolns for their ride and features. THE FEATURES ARE REALLY CRAP ON THIS THING!!!

Love the ride, quiet interior, space, handling and overall appearance of MKX. Getting used to no gear shift took awhile and have accidentally turned engine off because of location of start /stop button. Transmission wants to downshift under certain load conditions. It tows my fishing boat {2500lbs.) with minimal effort. Gas mileage OK would like a bigger tank capacity. Would recommend MKX and will purchase the replacement of it with new Navigator series.

Went from Mercedes GL450 to this and so far I am satisfied with the switch

A very pleasant driving experience. The interior looks like the later models even the 2020s. Has the the technology I need and the Revel sound system is amazing.

We’ve owned a 2016 MKX for several years, bought it with 18000 miles on it, now has 65000 miles, has never been in an accident, has excessive wind noise on drivers side, been to local Lincoln dealer couple of times they can’t seem to fix it, very disappointed considering Lincoln is supposed to be very quiet, I’ll take my old Explorer anyday!!

we bough a used 2016 with 40125 miles and when we test drove it we were wowed with the feel and responce so we bought. on the way home i started to notice little things that you shouldn't have in a car in this price range. 1. the door control area has coating scratched or rubbed of at 40,000 miles 2. drivers door clear coat chipped off, not from banging to door. 3. muffler resonator seal cracked so it is now louder after 700 miles. have the car checked , buyer beware.

Purchased a used MKX reserve. Options are incredible including the stereo system and massage options. Cabin is quiet and comfortable with amazing adjustable seats. Even more comfort than the two Jaguars I’ve owned. The engine has plenty of power but not the greatest gas mileage. Overall an excellent automobile!

Very poor navigation system. Missing roads that have been there over 20 years. Lincoln claims it’s not there navigation system yet it’s in there vehicles. They require you to pay for a map update that has been out of date for years.
