Photos: 2007 Lincoln MKX
The 2007 Lincoln MKX delivers an easy, though not engaging, driving experience, choosing to wrap its occupants in luxury, as we would expect from a Lincoln. The stereo is really the high point of this car.
Ford used the Mazda6 platform to build both the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers. This car platform gives the SUV-like crossovers a more comfortable ride than if they were built on truck platforms.
The Lincoln badge is subtly hidden in the grille among all the chrome. Our test car had adaptive headlights, which did a good job of illuminating the road ahead in corners.
The MKX holds four passengers and their luggage comfortably, although you could squeeze another passenger in the rear seat.
The taillights form a stripe all the way across the back of the MKX.
Cargo room is adequate, though not huge. The rear seats can be folded down for more space. We also enjoyed the power-lift gate, which can be operated with the remote.
In our test car, we had the optional sunroof, which includes a big piece of glass over the front seats and a smaller moonroof over the rear seats.
Lincoln luxury means lots of blond wood accents and brushed aluminum trim. But the infotainment interface works well, with buttons down both sides of the touch-screen LCD.
The MKX handles reasonably well, considering its size and height. Body roll is only moderate and there's not too much oversteer.
The six-speed automatic transmission downshifted a little slowly for our tastes, but it was otherwise smooth. It doesn't have a manual gear selection mode, just a low range for driving down hills.
The THX logo comes up when you turn on the car. It means the car has 14 speakers pumping out 600 watts or refined power.
The CD screen shows track information, which is nice, but the buttons could be smaller, allowing for more information.
The auxiliary audio input is hidden in the center console, making it a good place to keep an iPod.
The THX audio system uses a unique center speaker array, made up of two mids and a tweeter.
The map resolution isn't the best we've seen, but it's not bad. We found it easy to check our location quickly.
Route guidance is particularly good with this system, which reads out street names and uses big graphics to indicate turns.
