As another reviewer's title says, "This is not your grandpa's Lincoln." I thought that when I first test drove one, and I would have used the title here if it hadn't already been used. I have been a Ford product owner since my first new car, and this is my eighth new car. I traded in my 2002 Eddie Bauer Explorer with almost 250,000 miles on it for the MKC. I wanted something a bit smaller with better gas mileage while offering quality. I will say that I always said I'd never spend more than $35,000 on a car, but the MKC Reserve certainly stickered for substantially more. However, I believe that for the price and from a comparison standpoint, the MSRP is not out of line. The fit and finish on the vehicle is outstanding, and I've had a number of compliments on the car from passersby. People really like to comment on my kicking under the rear to open the rear hatch. People also love the welcome lighting in the car. I've had the car for one year and 4 months, and I can honestly say it has exceeded my expectations. I've read reviews from individuals and ratings companies (e.g., magazine editors) that the mileage estimates are way off. I have to say that is not my experience. Other ratings I've seen in some reviewers were actually lower than I expected. At speeds from 65 to 73 on the highway, I've actually hit 34+ mpg. That's better than the highway mpg on the window sticker. So, this is definitely good mileage. And with over 19,000 miles on the car now, the average mileage since I've owned it has averaged 24.6 miles. I love BLIS, adaptive cruise control, the heated and cooled seats (cooled are going to be very important in the southern heat), the My Lincoln app, extremely comfortable seats, active park assist and other options. I joke that I actually had to read the manual to learn how to use the car. Oh, and I can't forget the push button start and remote functions, including starting from my phone. And speaking of the phone, my iPhone works great with SYNC 3. Bluetooth works well, voice recognition is great, and the nav system is handy - I had no desire to get the nav system, but it came with the package, and I actually use it to see what traffic is like when going to and from work. And the THX optional sound system is outstanding - it's a new way to listen to my music! After 1 year and 4 months and 19,000 miles, I still find no negative issues with the car. Burgundy velvet with the ebony interior is a great combination, too.

This gem of an SUV caught my eye at the March car show. I owned an Acura RDX and was in the market for a new SUV. I was actually planning to buy another RDX, but the MKC on display in the Ford/Lincoln section begged a closer look. Lincoln offered a $75.00 gift card to schedule a test drive at a later date, so that's exactly what I did. I was sold on the Lincoln once I drove the model with the continuous dampening control drive system. I'll admit it took a little while to get past the "old fogey" label associated with Lincoln. Once I did, however, it became a matter of finding the right color combination in a Reserve trim level WITH the drive control system. Three months later, I bought my new MKC. It rides like a dream and is absolutely gorgeous, both inside and out. The only true annoyance is the lack of a real tire pressure monitoring system (you know, the one that tells you the tire pressure in each tire). The indicator light recently flashed a low tire pressure warning, but unlike my RDX (and recent Hyundai rental), that was all the information I got. No fun trying to locate my tire pressure gauge and figure out which tire had the problem IN THE DARK. Hopefully Ford will consider adding a true TPMS to its vehicles in the future.

Very disappointed in Lincoln

I have a 2017 Lincoln MKC which I have been maintaining since I drive quite a bit. I currently have 87000 miles on it. Last April the left blinker went out. Had it replaced, cost me $1500 at the dealership. Since that day the rear camera stopped working but the dealership told me it had nothing to do with them replacing the back LED panel and wanted to charge me another $1000 for it, which I declined and now I have no camera. A year later, AC compressor went and the transmission! I bought a Lincoln for safety and durability and very disappointed! The car is only 3 years old and out of warranty with the high mileage but I feel I would have been better off with a Toyota!!!

Comfortable, quiet ride, good visibility and easy handling best describe the MKC. This is my first Lincoln and I would definitely purchase another.

Ok first we leased 2 of them both Reserves

First a background on what was being replaced and current driven vehicles. 2015 CTS coupe (lease coming to an end), 640 BMW convert. (lease coming to an end) and a 328 4 door. My background on vehicles driven primarily in the last few years involves a H2 Hummer, and the above vehicles with daily drivers usually being a coupe. I started to test drive many new vehicles and was not set on a small SUV. I have recently had 2 Infiniti coupe leases a convertible and a plain coupe (loved both) Then I test drove the new "red sport" coupe with twin turbos can I just say WOW! Perfect car for me but they quotes were insane for a car in that class at just under 800 a month so it was off list. Drove the Porsche Macan S and can I say right here and now it was hands down one of the best cars I have ever driven. I have owned a Cayman S and a Ferrari recently (yep love cars) and the Macan S was as fun and tight as anything I could compare it to, it beat! However the reality check came when the lease quote was at 1150 Mo for a 74k car and it seemed of by a long shot since I paid the same on a 98k 640 convert (made no sense to me) So what the heck I drove the Infiniti SUV's and ended up in a Lincoln showroom after reading some reviews. Turns out my daughter was also thinking of what car to get next and she wanted a bit more room like a small SUV could provide. I do not want to drive a car without the latest safety and tech features since I really enjoy them. The MKC size seemed to be right for both of us and ended up ordering 2 of them both Reserves in white. Very pleased overall in vehicles. Quiet (not as quiet as many would have you believe) Nice look and features. Fast for a tiny 4 cyl turbo. BUT and a big but here, this was my first front wheel drive car for both of us other than rentals. Huge change when you step on the gas and have to hold the wheel when passing to keep control, it feels like driving a go cart. Love all the features on the car and still have not had been brave enough to test the self parking assist. Ok now the down side of this nice lil SUV. Both cars for us are getting HORRIBLE mileage (worse than my caddi and everything but my Hummer H2! I would have never ever got two of these if I knew the mileage numbers were going to be this bad! 17-19 combined driving for both vehicles! I was conservatively estimating 22 combined, nope, nada no way. The next very irritating thing to me is the rear and front bumper proximity alarms, they suck! You cannot adjust sensitivity and are basically useless since you have to be very close to get the beep. (cross traffic alert works great) Next irritating thing to me is the Apple car play, you really cannot use any apps you want ( I use only WAZE for navigation and it will not work on the car system. Next is the navigation, just plain difficult to set to make it easy to read and the worst out of any system I currently have or have had. Next the voice commands seem to have too many steps to get to where you want to be. Overall the vehicle is good, motor and transmission have been bullet proof and has many nice features but I was deeply disappointed in the MPG and irritated with the crash avoidance system (completely useless at low speeds)but will alert you at higher speeds (but not stop the car). Even though we are located in Miami I am glad I got the heated rear seats it is great when someone is use to it. All of the small features have been reviewed many times such as the hands free lift gate something you don't think about until your hands are full! My eldest daughter drives a Rover and saw that feature and now she wants a SUV with it (makes sense for moms with kids and all the accessories) For me when I get another vehicle I feel anything out there now should get over 20MPG and as I get older I felt it was going to be my benchmark and I would never buy a car that averaged under 20 (hopefully 24) MPG not as an economic issue buy more like supporting companies that are progressive and responsible and this is why I was very disappointed on the mileage issue. I do not see how you could go wrong with this vehicle when you compare vehicles based on quality and price.
