    We purchased the 2015 MKX as used with low mileage.

    We purchased the 2015 MKX as used with low mileage. Very stylish and we love the color inside and out. The controls are difficult to locate to increase/decrease the fan speed and other control items. Overall, I have been very satisfied so far with minimal issues; a/c diverter had to be replaced, however, the ride is rough as compared to our smaller 2019 MKC, and I mean a notable difference w/ approximately the same mileage driven. The best ride we have is our 2006 Ford F150 of course it has a little longer wheelbase.

    Radio, Phone and AC Issues

    I really enjoyed my car until a couple years ago when my radio started going in and out and made use of the phone inoperable and it affected the AC. I took it in but to fix it was over 1600 dollars and I thought the extended warranty would cover it but was told it had expired. So it's still like that and I don't have 30k miles yet, much lessvwhen this started. It runs well and I love it. I recently had to replace rear roters. That's my only complaint.

    Excellent car to drive

    This car has everything you need for a family of four or two. It has plenty of power with the turbo along with all the leg room you'll ever need. We have the upgraded Revel sound system (18?) speakers which cancels all road noise. Engine is very quiet too. 0 to 60 in well about as fast as you need! Seats offer a heated or air conditioned message for those long drives.

    I traded in my MKC for more room and styling options and I’m not disappointed. Very smooth ride I love my panoramic roof. The navigation system is awesome and up to date. I Love driving this car.

    Lincoln MKX says it all !!!

    We purchased this used 2015 Lincoln MKX with low miles, it has the premium package with too many options to list. Excellent ride with plenty of leg room both front and back as well as storage. Love the smart key with push button start with remote start too! Oh, and can't forget about the Panoramic sun roof! The 20 -inch premium tires with Chrome rims make this SUV very stylish. We get a lot of complements on this vehicle.

    Very comfortable seating - reason we changed cars

    The car is fine - a smooth ride and great seating. We purchased because we already own another Lincoln which we like and which we still have.

    Reliable and luxurious

    This vehicle is a reliable as the day is long. The drivability is comparable to a BMW 3 series while keeping that lengendary Lincoln Ride. Plenty of leg room, plenty of luggage room & lovely amenities. As to mechanical reliability this is my most recommended vehicle.
