Bought an new 07 MKX in June 08- was a little bit less $$ than the 08 edge we were looking at.

Pros- very nice vehicle. rides nice. The heated/cooled seats spoil you pretty quick. THX stereo rocks. Vista roof is great.
Cons - in the shop today for the second time. 1st time in Oct. was a loose headliner- which was replaced and plastic clip on vista roof was broken. 2nd time- oil leak onto exhaust causing smoking at stop signs/red lights. Was told there are two leaks- A transaxle seal and I'm getting a new "updated" power take-off unit.

What exactly is a power take-off unit?? Service manager said it controlled the AWD. He indicated it was like the transmission. (the oil leak was definitely motor oil not tranny fluid)

I'm going skiing next Thursday and it should be ready by Mon or Tues(fingers are crossed).
