Review: 2016 Lincoln MKX 2.7 FWD

[@B00sted_JT]

Great review Matt. Looks like a lot of people are complaining about the non-enthusiast cars but I still like watching these reviews! Don't let the comments get to you and keep up the great work!

[@brentgath4447]

Great review. I, for one, enjoy the many different types of vehicles you're reviewing as of late.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you!

[@relaxingearthviews446]

+subaruwrxfan Can you please try to do a review on the new Ford Focus RS its one of my choices on the list!!!

[@cris5480]

not even gonna lie, as much as I am an enthusiast, I really like the look of this car. nice review

[@ZoidsXtwonine]

Wow, that 2.7 has some power! Didn't really care for the engine at first until this video. Can't wait until the Fusion gets the 2.7

[@StreetSpeed717]

But you're not matthew mcconaughey...

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Haha next time I'll slick my hair back and speak in vague but profound short sentences.

[@62_batthsaab62]

+subaruwrxfan lmfaoooo

[@Ryan-719]

Our family has the Navigator, and it kinda sorta has the same styling cues as this, and we love it! And the engine is amazing!

[@SuperSurviver71]

My dad has the 3.5 in his expedition. It's a great engine. My car has a 2.0 eco boost, and I'm really impressed with the new ecoboost engines.

[@Ryan-719]

+DerekT if you open the windows on an uphill with walls around the car, you can really hear the turbos it's awesome

[@SuperSurviver71]

+RyanRC2 yea I love it

[@HypnoticSuggestion]

Huh, didn't think I'd find myself liking a Lincoln SUV/Crossover, but this thing is pretty dope. I love most of what Ford does now days, and it seems like they're finally spending money and taking Lincoln seriously again, good to see. Also that rolling burnout was awesome! Serious torque there haha.

[@theadventuremiata9533]

All these companies promote these intelligent systems (BSM, Lane assist, high beams, etc) but after owning one and now having all of it gone, its so refreshing not having to deal with it and just pay attention. Its all very expensive too. I just dread the day that it all comes standard and I have to spend minutes turning it all off every time I start my car.

[@mysticalgamer1013]

Im actually getting this exact model, so it’s a good thing that I’m watching this to see what to expect

[@717dash_cam]

I had a couple 2016 MKXs while my Fusion was in the shop (thank you enterprise for being out of fords), and they were easily my favorites. Though they only had the 3.7 NAV6 AWD. I typically don't care for black upper and lower colors, but it still managed to feel airy enough without a sunroof. I agree with the sentiment of it leans then sticks in corners. It really was a fun car to drive.

[@kadendaniels934]

Ive been watching all of your car reviews. You do a great job, but its more so that your so genuine in ylur reactions and impressions. You go over the little things that make me really feel like Im sitting in the car, like cup holders cubbies etc.... Keep reviewing and good luck

[@Montblanc1986]

I never thought I would watch a review on a mommy and me rig

[@BernonCars]

Dude, it's HIS channel...

[@Ryan-719]

Why did you click on it then

Already very interesting place on KZbin for me, your channel just got even better recently. Sad thing that happens at the same time than the Mustang accident. Cheers for the good work! Chapeau! JRB

[@thatsundaydriver2399]

That intro makes me feel like I'm about to watch a 12,000 HP triple-turbo Supra jizz through an exploding skyscraper into a cargo plane. And then we get like EDM Kenny G and a rich mom's crossover. Maybe have a couple different intros that relate more directly to the car you're reviewing... just a suggestion ;D

[@TonmoyGhosh]

Another good review. You pretty much had the same takeaways I did when I was test driving the mkx with the 2.7. I really wanted to get one but ended up with the 2015 edge sport. One thing to note, I believe the sensitivity of the lane keep assist is adjustable

[@noahbrainard4633]

the music fit the car, it's classy so it works i liked it

[@alejandrobermudez3]

I love the music you chose for the beginning. Your best video yet. 👍🏻

[@gabekiakojori2392]

Love the new intros! And your channel. Please make a draw-my-life.

[@SSFlyer]

Such class... really good review!!

[@TheVboyfresh]

Why is everybody hating in the comments good video Matt

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks, people find stuff to complain about no matter what I do lol.

[@TheVboyfresh]

***** I like it classy music for a classy car

[@MrTblackmon]

I like this guy. He acts like a kid when he punches that accelerator hard. I like that mischievous smile.

[@dustinleibel2732]

All these people getting so critical, you could review a dingy for all I care, I'd still watch it!

[@MNeuenswander]

Seems like a nice SUV. They are aggressively marketing Lincoln's and making some significant changes from the old style which is an improvement. I'd definitely cross shop if I was in the market for a small SUV.

[@6thGearSam]

Good video man! Can't wait until I'm back in Pittsburgh

[@cadenyang7000]

I wish to watch the 2017 Ford Fusion sport AWD version review indeed.

[@Wajang1]

Very cool intro to the video. Fan of your vids.

[@staggeredhorizons3657]

Another Great Review Matt

[@isitfast2067]

We live in an age were SUV hit 0-60 as fast as most 90s sports cars ...crazy..

[@nazir7749]

And the intro is awesome

[@VicMcNeal]

nice review brother you the best man

[@jacobtorres9554]

I love the new music it's got me dancing

[@GaynNovi]

Dig the new intro!

[@renovasquez5589]

this intro is kinda annoying tbh

[@Jak2bossbf3]

Yeah it kinda is I think he should save it for the exciting enthusiast cars

[@YoloSwegLordYoloSwegLord]

shame, for being fords only luxury brand its on par with Buick but not so much cadillac. this has a way to go before it can hold a candle to cadillac

[@alexandermichalek2720]

I like the music choice

[@oneslowwdsm]

Holy fingerprints on the touchscreen! :-)

[@Weah702]

"Hey what's up guys, SubarukfoepdovkFan here with another review."

[@Jbiglin]

Well done. Very informative. I'm leaning towards the MKX but also like the Edge. I want the 2.7 turbo but on the ford you have to get the sport's black-only interior. Question for you: it seems the MKX rides really well...I'm looking for good ride and great handling as well. I know you said the Edge Sport handles a bit better, but is it a significant difference and how much of the good ride and low noise do you give up with the Edge over the MKX? (Ok, that was really two questions. ). Thanks

[@samboie909]

Great videos 👍

[@DanielBlaney]

Why did the give you one with FWD. The AWD system in this car is actually pretty good. It also comes bundled with the adaptive suspension. Elevates this car to a much better level. Suprised the dealer that lent you the car would send you out without that. Also confused that they gave you one that had the old myfordtouch. Later production models got sync 3 which is a Gigantic improvement.

[@jimbo1233212]

"I'm going to go back to reviewing enthusiast cars".....does a Lincoln crossover review

[@MattMaranMotoring]

If you actually listened in that video I said "I still have to post the Lincoln MKX review and that will be the last full review of a non-enthusiast car"....smh

[@Jak2bossbf3]

People have lives tho they don't exactly have remembering everything you said in the video as a priority smh

[@62_batthsaab62]

Matt sweet, can u also plz try to review a mkt, it would be great man

[@adbarrnz]

Calvin Harris 'This is What You Came For'. Very topical!

[@ianfosbrook8406]

i like the new intro graffix... but the audio not so much... needs more tuning.

[@jimmyharty991]

Are you coming to the big Pittsburgh meet with TJ, streetspeed, and Evan Shanks?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

No, wasn't invited again this year. I found something else to do though and will be reviewing 4 awesome cars in Maryland this weekend :)

[@bicboi46]

Would love to see you review a jeep Cherokee srt

[@PeterGregg]

This was a disappointing review. At first I was excited cause I really wanted Matt's opinions, but there was too much baggage about comparing this car to other Ford's rather than its own competition. I wouldn't be shopping this car and flipping a coin between it and the Ford Edge, but am looking at it compared to the MDX, the Lexus, the BMW, and the new Caddy. The review seemed fixated on the Edge and the Explorer. I love watching Matt's videos and enjoy the reviews, supported him financially before and would do it again in a heartbeat. This was a disappointing waste of an opportunity with a really cool car in hand. There are other reviews on this car that place it really high above its competition and I trust Matt's opinion to have wanted him to qualify the other stuff I saw. Never happened. No, I did not give it a thumbs down, I would never do that to someone that seems like a friend!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I can only compare with cars I have experience with. Having not driven the new Acura MDX, Lexus RX, BMW X3/X5 or Cadillac XT5 it would be impossible to compare, only guess at how it would stack up against the competition. I've seen many people wonder if it's worth paying the extra money for the Lincoln over the Ford so that is what I compared it to, since I have recent experience with the new Fords.

[@kingsun122]

damn i didin't know it was that deep

[@BRIANBOBCHAPMAN]

COOL Review: 2016 Lincoln MKX 2.7 FWD

[@nazir7749]

Can you make a video of a Acura MDX 2014

[@shahzebahmed794]

If you are going to do SUVs then go ahead and review the 2016 honda pilot. You won't be disappointed ;)

[@AustinJBanks]

Hey Matt where do you get the music for your videos?

[@italianice678]

Matt wearing flip-flops = no manual trans

[@QarthCEO]

Nice flip flops, dude.

[@Jeschitown]

i thought this mkx was based on the Ford flex? Matt will you be doing review on the flex?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Don't think so.

[@macaronienshiis]

OK! Let's turn to this back road here and... 😂😂😂

[@beastlaser9611]

fresh ass car

[@jtkent28]

Recognize the intro music from "PhlyDaily"s channel

[@RyanFiore211]

No sync 3?

[@cadenyang7000]

Matt I like your other reviews but not so much on this one. I don't think this one will blow over your mind.

[@gunsngear5096]

Wtf is this intro music

[@theadventuremiata9533]

Kenny G Edition.

[@cadenyang7000]

+TheAdventureMiata feel like some kind of before x music

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Classy music for a classy car.

[@TheVboyfresh]

+subaruwrxfan exactly lol

[@TwoWheelWarrior]

Classy music for a classy guy. You might want to listen to something else...

[@coureurdebois]

more of a Buick / Acura competitor than a cadillac / Lexus competitor, ford needs to work in their material quality, unique switch gear, and interior architectures more to help differentiate them from the ford versions just like Audi and Cadillac have done with their VW / GM based luxury cars. with the Continental coming this may be the turning point for Lincoln but the MKZ, MKC, and MKX are still a ways behind Cadillac Or Lexus....

[@Cherylkay87]

Does it have WiFi?

[@PreciseVids]

These don't seem to be reviews, they seem to be promotions.

[@Motivurn]

Classy

[@gainz6678]

Nice into

[@harrym708]

Otherwise love your reviews

[@thegoldendragon4821]

Do a 2016 Cadillac xt5

[@clovisthefirst492]

hmmm ford needs to put more time into Lincoln its completely embarrassed by cadillac not to mention many Buicks are better

[@62_batthsaab62]

they did man, wait for the new lineup

[@Quirky.Turtle69]

look at their new line up

[@clovisthefirst492]

Harrison Stone i have driven their entire line (well 99% of it)

[@66skate]

Is that why Lincoln sales are up and Cadillac down?

[@clovisthefirst492]

66skate incorrect, cadillac sales are up and Lincoln is at the bottom of the Luxury car sales currently, dumb dumb.

[@Lambda01]

Last time I was this early she slapped me.

[@mandonex]

Dude, clean that screen. Keep it professional. It's not as bad as your Taurus SHO review but damn.

[@tommyhortin8696]

I've watched hundred of your videos and for the sake of giving constructive criticism I believe the quality of your videos and the cars in them have gone down slightly. I prefer the old intro, not the new video game-y one, and cars that will get your heart beating, not a basic suv that has the same chasis as a Ford, and the music that distracts from the focus of the video. love your channel just miss the older way of reviews.

[@JF-ns5zs]

get outta here, that's all your personal preference not real universal criticism

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Please watch the last Weekly Update video with the Mustang GT, I address your criticism in the driving portion of the video.

[@tommyhortin8696]

+Jessie Ferreira yeah I agree. I wouldn't say it vased on personal opinion alone but I thought enough people agree that it was valid enough to point out.

[@tommyhortin8696]

+subaruwrxfan okay will do

[@tommyhortin8696]

+subaruwrxfan alright I watched it and I'm very pleased. you addressed everything I was concerned about and I am excited for the way you are going to do things. I appreciate that you provide such high quality content and you listen to comments and act upon them. I love your channel man thank you

[@xDivineHearTx]

That porn music tho

[@sturneriv1]

Yea, change the music. Great vid though

[@GTRockero]

Yeah that's a lot for an suv, but then again I have a huge bias towards JDM vehicles

[@pedrofernandez3893]

Any chance of trying out Tesla's autopilot feature? If you do, make sure you buy life insurance.

[@Jak2bossbf3]

Make sure not to watch Harry Potter while driving

[@pedrofernandez3893]

***** Or Death Race 2000.

[@PreciseVids]

$55k for this? It's gonna be worth $25k after the 1st mile from the dealership..

[@gabekiakojori2392]

Ya make a draw-my-life. That would be cool

[@DankRageRants]

Can anyone guess what his favorite word is in his vocabulary?

[@zackdl]

Nice

[@thecamlog]

Rice

[@SuchFinessse]

Wooooohoooohooooohooooooooo

[@Cooperj101]

Said it so much lmao

[@mrwafflez000]

classy

[@jonaha.2431]

Yeah definitely should be AWD only with the 2.7.

[@kingjodgeiii7050]

Where's Matthew Mcconaughey?

[@justintoth4870]

I'd take a Cadillac xt5 over this any day

[@Grumpycat95]

The tail lights look exactly like teslas

[@gianniforonda5842]

those finger prints on the screen bugs me a lot.

[@HonoraryBoomer]

under 500 view?! wow!

[@PreciseVids]

1:01 = start of video

[@CallOfDutyInsider]

"nice" - subaruwrxfan 2016

[@outernetisdangerous]

You should cut your intro at 0:04 and show your avatar at this point instead and then cut into the video.

[@Michael-ge3eo]

dump the Mustang I'm telling you right now get a Corvette it will make you happiest it is the best choice retain value Mustangs are pieces of shit sorry I just had to get real with you that Mustang is toast even if they fix it it will never be the same sorry bud just giving you the reality check ultimately the Corvette cost less than the Mustang the devaluation of a Mustang will make up for the extra cost of the Corvette

[@bobleonard99]

Of course - the extra $30,000 and zero storage is of no concern.

[@fairfaxflashin6486]

The intro is waay too hyper, for a car review like this.

[@staker17]

Who else cringes when he does accelerations in slow cars

[@italianice678]

I think it's funny

[@elhehe8476]

Oh Yes because a car with 330-hp is considered "slow".

[@italianice678]

+Armando Quezada some people like to think so nowadays, I'm not one of them

[@water892]

Have you even driven this car to classify it as slow? It's fast enough for what it is. Smh ignorant.

[@TheSuperMotoHooligan]

This is a slow car? Bet it is faster than what you drive...

[@patrickmccombie7439]

We Americans spend too much money on cars like these, that depreciate greatly. Then, we wonder why we don't have enough retirement $$ to live on. Wake up people. No one "needs" a new, expensive SUV.

[@patrickmccombie7439]

A pre-owned, late model Subaru Forester...that holds its re-sale value very well.

[@RyanFiore211]

+Patrick McCombie If nobody buys new cars, then you can't buy used cars!!

[@poopsmcgee2k6]

Yeah no one cares

[@BmacRDX]

Why not both? If you can afford it and still retire, good for you, you've done very well. If you can't afford it w/o sacrificing the long term significantly, don't buy it. I don't feel sorry for anyone that makes very poor financial decisions that are straight up addition/subtraction. Also, if you never experience some nice things in life, what is the point? Enjoy your resale value and no fun.

[@patrickmccombie7439]

Wise investors capitalize off of foolish people.

[@smonkey001]

Those fingerprints ..

[@TheSuperMotoHooligan]

Turn off unskippable ads and I will sub to you...

[@B00sted_JT]

This is how he makes his living, watch an ad and get over it lol

[@TheSuperMotoHooligan]

don't interrupt our negotiations. he will still make money turning off unskippable ads and not be wasting his viewers valuable time.

[@Jak2bossbf3]

He doesn't give a fuck about you

[@TheSuperMotoHooligan]

His vids are free because they aren't worth paying for.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

The money made from skippable ads is far less than the amount made from unskippable ones. I feel like a 15 or 30 second ad is more than fair to "endure" for the 3 or so hours of filming and the 8-12 hours I spend editing these videos. Regular tv makes you sit through about 2 minutes of commercials for every 3-5 minutes of content so I don't think it's too bad lol.

[@dontbotherreading]

I really don't like the exterior, the front is not attractive

[@slowlydistancing]

Ok. But why a Ford

[@johnlearoux]

so many plastics and injection molds in this thing!!! cheap!! wtf disappointed

[@24califrank]

wtf is this music? omg the music annoyed the shit out of me

[@Borntokirune]

Fwd on a suv this big makes no sense

[@tefrumpzax]

Neither does rwd

[@Jak2bossbf3]

RWD makes way more sense

[@5.7_TY]

Technically it's a crossover and it has a v6 twin turbo. A REAL suv with a v8 (Tahoe for ex) will have rwd

[@BernonCars]

+Ty White the Lincoln isn't even really an SUV, it's a crossover

[@5.7_TY]

+ThatGearHead™ that's my point

[@grabir01]

crap.. give me v8 up front and drive at the rear

[@shawncarson8131]

Then get a Mustang, a Camaro, an E92 M3, an ISF or RCF, etc.

[@grabir01]

Shawn Carson Still waiting for the Mark 9

[@BernonCars]

Dude, it's a compact SUV, not a Chevelle...

[@frankmagana1408]

Good luck. At the rate fords going, the f150 will probably go fwd in 2 generations and wont be offered with a v8. Honestly probably like the honda ridgeline.

[@grabir01]

Frank Magana YIKES !!! POS Ecoboost

[@vincentlee9638]

phlydaily

[@trevoncowen9198]

yes I thought I was the only one
