MKX vs RX
Just bought the 2008 edition and can't help but compare it to my wife's 2007 Lexus RX 350. Here are some thoughts: Steering wheel position is not the best. Too bus angled, not enough drop down. And a lever for adjustment? The RX's automatic wheel beats this all day long. The wheel controls, such as cruise control are not on a stalk. The switches themselves are hard to use. Mine has the Elite package, but has no power liftgate. C'mon Lincoln, this is standard on the Lexus. Dashboard buttons are also not very intuitive, but the RX is guilty of this, as well. Awesomeness not found on the Lexus: heated and cooled perforated leather seats, the panoramic sunroof - very cool, dual exhaust (although it's a split single), keyless entry pad on driver door - love it! Awesomeness not found on the MKX: build quality,fit and finish are nowhere near the RX. Reliability suffers from maladies and recalls around the airbags, gas tank, water pump, throttle body, and poor braking performance. Paint quality is poor compared to the RX. One big plus for the MKX is a V6 engine that makes equivalent power to the Lexus on regular gas. The market right now puts the RX at about $4K more than the MKX for a similar year, and with 20-30K more mileage! So a well-kept MKX can be a better value. It's obvious some MKX things are compromises owing to the fact that it's a dolled-up Edge, where the RX is its own model. Both vehicles are attractive (before Lexus went nuts with their styling in later years), but I find this first-gen MKX very handsome. It has simple, elegant lines and a buttoned-down, squared-away feel, both inside and out. Love the classic Continental style grill, too! - Purchased a Used car

Best vehicle I’ve ever owned, hands down!
I bought my 2008 Lincoln MKX new and in June 2022, I’m still driving it. This is, hands down, the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. I can’t imagine buying a new car right now. I’ve never kept a car for 13 years. Leather interior is still in top shape, minimal wear. I believe we’ve spent only around $1,500 in mechanical repairs in the 13 years we’ve had this vehicle. All the bells & whistles are working fine. I only wish my SYNC could be upgraded to current version, but alas, not possible. - Purchased a New car

PERFORMANCE & COMFORT? Your xxxx right !!!
Have had my 08 MKX for roughly 3 months now..from the moment i test drove her it was love at 1st acceleration..my wife n i were down to the 08 mkx or a 2011-12 Infinity EX35...I wanted the mkx n wife liked the mkx to but was in the ex35 camp...the ex35 just looks blahhhh n didnt really impress me during the test ride...now the lincoln boy thats a whole different scenario..my bootie can sit in heated/cooled leather seats while driving on a cloud. The power is very impressive also. Im not a pedal to the floor kinda guy but with the mkx i find myself in the triple digits when the situation calls for it...one complaint i do have is i hit a deer with passenger side light area...barely clipped the doe (although she did pass away) but the damage was almost 5 grand..being a Lincoln i expected the parts to be more durable but that complaint is minor just had to mention it...ive owned a mercedes ML430...Toyota Tundra..couple F-150s n i would choose the MKX if i had to make a choice.
