Lincoln MKX Review Summary
"...the MKX boasts a gutsy 3.5-liter V6 engine and plenty of headroom, legroom and storage space within its cabin."
"Overall driver-seat comfort is aided by resting your elbows on the roomy door armrests and the soft top on the center console. That console, by the way, is really useful. It has two separate compartments ? a shallow one for change, glasses and the like, and a larger bin that has a power outlet, an MP3 jack and a notch in the side to run the cords for a portable MP3 player or phone charger."
"The MKX is tuned for a comfortable yet not wallowy ride. The four-wheel independent suspension handled curves and sudden avoidance maneuvers with excellent control. Road noise is very well isolated."
"...the all-wheel-drive MKX drives and handles well despite its considerable weight of 4,420 pounds."
What reviewers liked least about the Lincoln MKX:
"The brakes, however, are a major disappointment. Pedal feel is progressive, but the Lincoln's braking distances feel long, even in city traffic."
"The transmission was a deal-breaker for me, though, because the engine doesn?t have enough torque on tap for passing other vehicles quickly; you have to mash the accelerator and wait for the transmission to downshift to the proper gear."
"The analogue tachometer and speedometer look retro and out of place in the otherwise modern interior."
"There?s a blind spot on the driver?s side when passing cars can no longer be seen in the sideview mirror but don?t emerge in your peripheral vision."
Lincoln MKX Comparisons:
"It is a good wagon. But "good" won't do in the fight to take market share away from talented foreign rivals such as Honda and Toyota. In that battle, GM's tall wagons are better."
Best one-liners about the Lincoln MKX:
"The MKX is one of the most luxurious and prettiest of the lot."
