Had the car 5 days and all 5 days..crap

We bought the suv on a friday night new and the next day the dash kept telling us the moonroof was open and it was not. the phone system will work when the I.T. guy fixed everything and told us how to make the almost impossible Homelink work. We have had a major light, dinging and an exclamation mark come on the dash then after parking and coming back it disappeared only to come back an hour later. The air was on 76 degrees and when entering the car again it decided to change it to 72 degrees. We traded in a Lincoln MKZ for this piece of crap. I am taking it back tomorrow (day 6) and tell them to give us another suv that actually works. The Sync system that Ford/Lincoln is head over heels better than this Japanese nightmare. I didn't want my wife to choose this brand I wish she had listened to me. As for me, I will not drive this ever but will be thrilled to continue driving my Explorer until I buy the new Lincoln Aviator when they are available.

Amazing Vehicle

I had my Lexus RX 300 a long time. I have 249,000.. On the engine she still purrs like a kitten. Its had minor work done usual maintenance, just now started to hear a noise but I think its a wheel berring. Overall a wonderful car and I hope to have her another year or so. Iriginally drove in Massachusetts now in Florida.

I am at 213,000 miles right now. Best car, ever!

Oldie but goodie! Body styles and features have changed a lot over the years, but one thing that has not is its reliability. The car is amazing. At 213,000 miles, it needs nothing and runs like a new car.

Most reliable and luxurious car I have owned

This is a very specious and smooth driven car. It is definitely a well designed model. I have enjoyed driving this vehicle with my family for long distances during our vacations as well as on a day to day commute.

Luxury with Amazing power & reliability

This car has been amazing to own. I purchased it when it was already 10 years old at 162K miles and it had a rough ride from the prior owners son. Despite rough use this car performed like new and in all these 8 more years it only needed routine time in the shop for struts, tires and lubrications. I had already decided to let the cosmetic repairs be since the parts are expensive to replace. I would say the only negatives about this car is the price of parts and a wide turning radius.

Luxury u can depend on!!!

This is one of the best of many SUVs that I have owned or driven and when I purchased it it had over 250,000 miles on it that's an original engine that was well maintained by its original owner. I have since kept up the maintenance and I've never once been let down there isn't a single electronic failure on this car not one mechanical failure now to be clear I have done all the regular maintenance and then some follow it all the factory specs when doing said maintenance and have kept it up-to-date I haven't had to do any major repairs or Services since owning it and not his no BS has over 320,000 miles on it and plan on seeing it through to a million Comfort level is unsurpassed the heated seats will fry your behind in less than a second the AC will chill you to the Bone and it still has style points still gets looks and the premium sound system with the 5 disc CD changer is still one of the cleanest sounding systems I've ever experienced in that includes any of the Bose systems in any of the other premium luxury cars mostly German that I've owned in the past it's taking some dings and knocks not from my driving but for mothers and the letters worn a bit but first many miles in his many years is have been put behind this it is the ultimate and utility luxury
