Cleveland engine was retooled for the 3.5 then idled because the demand for the engine wasn't there. appearently they didn't provide for enough 6F trans production. Mark. |

In response to brendaboo's concern about the armrests I can tell you that after 5,000 miles of driving I have not had any discomfort with them. While the inside door panel is a molded plastic, The top of the arm rest itself is padded. I find everything about the seat quite comfortable

Replying to: billsyr (Aug 20, 2007 3:35 pm) Mine: MKX, Pewter, Ultimate package w/THX & Sirius Satellite Radio * day time running lights didn't work on delivery >> Not an option on the MKX * Front seats with A/C and heating is cool; but very uncomfortable >> Seats are very comfortable for me. Just a little firm in the actual seating area. Fine with me.. * Headrests on front seats are terrible; they lean forward and push your head >> Haven’t encountered any problems. I’m approx 5’10” * Ride and steering are excellent >> Agreed.. I was actually very surprised at how nice a ride… Even after test driving it 3 times and now putting approx 900 miles on it. * Backseat room is excellent >> Haven’t ridden in mine yet but certainly looks spacious. * Too bad it's just like the Ford Edge; Lincoln should have not allowed that copycat >> So what?…. I like the MKX very much… I didn’t even test drive the Edge because I did not like the interior.. * Gas mileage is less than tested (what a suprise); we get about 19mpg >> Haven’t measured it. But I seem to be getting the same as my prior car, 2004 Grand Marquis. (v8 224hp) * Pickup is excellent >> I would say very good, not quite excellent. * Stereo is excellent however, auto volume control does not work (headed back to shop) >> Here I say excellent. No problems, yet… * Car was delivered with less than excellent finish had to return to dealership for buffout; then returned again because front windshield was oversprayed >> looks fine to me.. Notes: Standard equipment should have included: >> Passenger Assist Handles for the front (at least the passenger seat) >> Security Cargo Cover. Plus: >>> Lincoln needs to do something about their gauges. In some lighting you can’t read any of the gauges. >>> I want a digital MPH readout which I had on my Grand Marquis. (I prefer digital dashboards) >>> The flashing lights button is in a very bad place for the driver. Flashing lights should be quickly accessible and easy to locate without having to look for them. More likes: >>>> I think the adaptive lights are terrific… Provides better visibility on dark winding roads. >>>> Glad Lincoln didn’t make HID lights standard. >>>> Nice touch… Headlights come on when the Wipers are on. I had this on my Grand Marquis. Makes more sense to me than turning wipers on automatically when it’s raining. Hello … I know when it’s raining. >>>> Back up sensors work very well... Don't need visual display. >>>> I love the understated and easily accessible to the driver dash. (Actually this seems to have been passed on from the Aviator) >>>> MKX uses regular gas. I believe the competitors are all premium gas. >>>>> I am very happy with my choice of the MKX… My complaints are things I can live with.. I knew going in that this was a first generation CUV for Lincoln so I can’t really complain…. And the price comes in well under the Lexus, MDX, BMW, etc. w/similar options.. >>>>>>Conclusion: Without a doubt… I would buy it again and, I just might trade it in 3 years from now when (or if) Lincoln improves on some of the items I mentioned. Overall; good vehicle. Overpriced on window but deals can befound as you will see in these forums. Car purchased at Driver Village; North Syracuse.

| Can anyone point me to an article or web page which indicates that the MKX tires were switched to Michelins for better stopping distance. | |
