We were skeptical of the MKC replacement as we weren’t impressed when we test drove 4 years ago. We traded our 2015 MKX for the Corsair and couldn’t be happier. The 2.3L engine has plenty of pep. The ride is Lincoln smooth (which we have been accustomed to). The technology is impressive! Heated steering wheel, auto hi beams, adaptive cruise, additional cameras, are all features that we enjoy and will become necessities in the future.
Wonderful vehicle

This vehicle has everything! It has every safety and tech feature I can think of. It has every luxury appointment one would expect. I paid $53,000 for a reserve with every possible option. I considered getting The Nautilis, but I really like the compact size with easy parking and wonderful handling. The Nautilus just feels like an older generation vehicle. Also, I don’t have a need for any more space than the Corsair offers since I usually drive alone. I looked at Mercedes and Porsche, but the $20,000 more it would have cost is certainly not worth it.. My only problem has been that the phone as a key does not work with my iPhone 11, and no one at Lincoln knows why. The Lincoln concierge service is not what it’s meant to be. You can never get through to them. They said they will call back, but they hardly ever do. On the rare occasion that they do call back, they are of no help. One of them told me he had actually just been hired. He knew much less about the car than I did. One other problem is the missing cargo area cover. The owner’s manual shows it, but no car I’ve seen has one. The sales person and the concierge have no idea how to get one.

This Corsair is a great SUV. The interior cabin is so quiet you can hear a pin drop. The wife has the 2.0 and it has excellent acceleration merging onto highways and passing. The interior is top notch and looks fantastic. The exterior styling is stunning. Some reviews compare this Corsair to sub compacts like the Audi Q3 and BMW X1, however the size, luxury and performance of the Corsair is closer to mid size SUV such as the Audi Q5 and Mercedes GLC300.

I traded in my sporty Cadillac ATS for the quiet, roomy and comfortable Lincoln Corsair. The Corsair is the smallest of the Lincoln SUV lineup but it has plenty of room for my friends and my stuff. I’m 73 so I appreciate a car that is easy to get in and out of and is comfortable to drive. It has all of the electronic safety features that I have come to rely on. A good looking comfortable ride.

After many years of driving luxury cars from Audi, BMW, MB, we bought a Lincoln this time and its great. We got tired of the dealers who acted like they were doing us a big favor selling us a car, the complicated driver controls, the lack of creature comforts unless you bought all the options, and the generic looks of recent German cars. The Corsair is smooth, quiet, comfortable, has decent pep, and looks good. The 2.0L is smooth and we don't feel any harshness. We are very happy with the Corsair.

Have a Standard 2.0L AWD with 500 miles so far. Thoughts and answers to some prepurchase questions: 1. The 2.0L plenty strong with great low end torque. 2. Second row slid back gives plenty of leg room for my teen agers (more than Grand Cherokee) 3. With second row slid back - still have room in cargo area for golf club bags (laying diagonal) 4. Even if narrower than Grand Cherokee overall Corsair cabin feels more open / brighter. Able to sit three teens across in second row comfortably for around town needs. 5. Do not notice hard shifts as per some reviews. 6. Have the 101A package and seats are very nice. 7. Still getting through learning curve of SYNC3.... not bad, just different. Overall system is quick. 8. Ride is very smooth. Read some reviews that said smoothness came at expense of sportiness..... for me I am very happy with the ride, cornering and overall handling. 9. My first turbo and do not notice any lag. 10. Stop start - very subtle (more subtle than others I have experienced) and can be disabled (have to do it each time start car). But I have left it on. 11. I test drove an Escape 2.0L as well - there is no comparison the Corsair. Many reviews seemed compelled to prove this. I do think the history of the big three simply rebadging has died a while ago. Yet the comparisons of sister platforms for Toyota<>Lexus, Nissan<>Infinity, VW<>Audi, etc don’t seem to get the same scrutiny.

Lots of room for a 6.4 driver, plenty of room for legs. I own à Corsair reserve with the 2.3 engine and all I could say is “wonderful “ powerful engine, a lot of equipment like the 24 ways seats with massage...wow. I recommend the 20 inches wheel on the véhicule, it change the game, it look more sporty with a touch of class.

I love my new Corsair. I got it fully loaded at more than 60k. The factory included the all-weather floor liners but failed to include the cargo tray which was part of the package I paid for. Also the factory delivered the wrong color (silver) bumper instead up the upscale black bumper which is part of the extra-cost Reserve Appearance Package. How can the factory make such dumb mistakes! The dealer is trying to make good on these oversights and has already given me a cargo tray. Still waiting for the bumper replacement. As I say, I love the car. But the quality-control at the Kentucky factory is embarrassing.

This car is so sporty and quiet as the same time. I love everything about it. My last three leases were Fords and I was happy with the Edge and Escape, but this is a whole step up! Inside it’s roomy and comfortable. I’m a tall, all leg female, and it’s super comfy. The gas mileage is good and rides so smoothly over the highways. I’ve Had many compliments on how sporty and great it looks. My standard comment is I Love It! I’m on the high side of middle age and didn’t want my grandpa’s Lincoln, and this is definitely not a grandpa’s Lincoln. I’ve had people in the back seat and it’s very roomy. I’ve had it for 5 months now with no problems and actually still finding features I didn’t know I had.

Love the looks of this vehicle both inside and out. Steering wheel feels great and she handles very well. I have the 2.0 and have plenty of power to merge onto highway or dodge out of the way of others. Coming from a Durango Citadel this feels super sporty. The brakes are worth mentioning here; they are very grippe and does a great job of stopping the vehicle. Just have to get use to the responsiveness and for me, the break pedal seems to stick out too far. The sound system is good. I was surprised at how well the music from my phone sounded. I like the quietness of the cabin area. You still hear some road noise but it is a quieter interior and the seal of the doors makes it feel "pressurized" at times. The center entertainment center is nice and I like the options. Some I feel could be one touch versus having to make several touches to the screen. I found it odd that the rear defrost is what controls the defrost on the side mirrors. I am wondering about the accuracy of the temperature setting. Going to have to test as it does not feel right. Enjoying the safety features. The break warning is in your face with the red flashing. I also like receiving email alerts when she goes over the preset speed I have programmed for. I love being able to program the two remotes for two different people with their preferences on seat, music, temperature, speed warning, etc... The lighted welcome mat and folding mirrors are a nice touch. I cannot comment on the MPG as I came from a large SUV so the MPG on this is great to me. Mostly city/town with a bit of highway I am averaging 25.6 mpg. Not sure how much one would use the various drive modes. I made a conscious effort to use them but feel they are a bit of a gimmick. Over all, there is a lot to like/love with this vehicle and a few things to consider. The not so good: Something I did not pay attention to while test driving is I feel every gear shift. On the highway, I feel like I am gliding on air. However, city/town driving with stop and go traffic acceleration is flawed. When I first got the car with 46 miles on her I felt every shift and stutter when pulling out of a stop. She is improving as we are nearing the break-in mileage but still, for a luxury vehicle one would expect a smoother shift versus the gentle jerk. I tried the various drive modes and excite does shift smoother. I also feel like I can feel every bump in the road. Perhaps this is going from a large SUV with AWD to a smaller vehicle? In the cargo area if you fold the second row seats they do not go down all the way. I like being able to pull the second row seats forwards for a few extra inches of storage but Lincoln forgot to put a flap there to prevent the gap. Lincoln excelled in some areas with the little touches and failed in real world use/practicality. What I HATE: For the life of me I cannot find a comfortable seat position. I am 4' 11" and by the time I get home from an hour drive my neck and shoulders ache. On the standard seats the lumbar support is a joke! You can only inflate or deflate; cannot adjust up or down. Also, the lumbar inflate/deflate requires you to push button on door then adjust on the entertainment screen. All of the video reviews has the 24-way adjustable seats, this should be standard instead of extra.Test drive did not really give me a feel for the seats as I was too busy feeling how she handled on the road and how she "feels" and the warranty, etc..You think the small discomfort can be adjusted at a later time, no it cannot. Or, it feels good now but later no. Really dislike the seats and head rest on this to the point I am considering trading it in if I cannot find a comfortable position. This is also why I would not immediately recommend this car unless you test drove it for a week or more. My commute is an hour each way and this is not acceptable for me. Nit Picky: Applies to all vehicles. Why can they not design cup holders for the real world? My cup has a handle on it, which blocks the second cup holder from being used. In this vehicle the cup holders are super small and the second row cup holders are a joke and cheapen the vehicle. Even using a non-handled beverage cup the holders are small and not all beverages fit right. If there are two beverages attempting to access your beverage is tight and requires picking up from the top. How many times have we experienced a lid coming off from doing just that? The so called "drink holder" in the doors are not drink holders, those are storage bins in the doors. Bad marketing on Lincoln's part. Unless you have a water bottle with a screw on lid you will spill your beverage if you attempt to use the space. In the Durango, the door drink holder was a designated drink holder separate from the storage area. Over all, if I could get comfortable with the seats the little things would not stick out as much and I could recommend this vehicle. I love it, even with the flaws, but the seats really are that bad.

Bought this in April 2020 after owning almost every luxury car there is except Lincoln. Within days, I was having electrical problems: the camera would randomly turn blue (which is now a recall, 1.5 yrs after complaining about it to Lincoln), the electrical features will randomly fail (i.e. turn on the car and the chimes don't work, or the rear assist popup comes on to say that the feature isn't available, etc. etc. etc.). The battery had to be replaced within 30 days of ownership. The driving is sluggish under 30 mph--the car jerks at acceleration at lower speeds. Dealer says it's just "the way it is." I've been to the deal 4 times in the 1.5 yrs I've owned it, and now I'm headed back for the recall on that blue camera that the dealer rejected all this time--plus, I'm getting all those warnings reviewed once again, too. The touch screen also randomly stops responding. And, frustratingly and again totally random: the center display that I set to tachometer setting will spontaneously reset to lose the tach view, which changes the entire layout of the driver's screen. Yet clicking on the vehicle settings shows that tach view remains checked. The car is beautiful and comfortable--and the drivers' side interior is very intuitively set up. But the repeated electrical problems and the jerky movement at low speeds have overtaken all the positives. I can't wait to get rid of this horrible car. I will never buy a Lincoln again.

I test drove one of these cars and really liked almost everything about it. It is not man sized however. I have a bulky frame and the "smallish" bucket seat did not feel very comfortable. But if my wife was in the market for a new car, this is the one it would be. I think Lincoln has done a great job of producing a product that compares very favorably with many of the similar range imports. This is good to see in a domestic manufacturer.

The sandstone interior is gorgeous! The seats are comfortable with the power adjust buttons conveniently on the door at hand height! The ride was smooth. But you have to step up, then down to enter the vehicle because there is a well in the floor. When exiting, my foot banged the wall of the well and caused me to stumble. I found the control panel in the center to be annoyingly shiny. It should be matte. And although the ventilated seats (bottoms and backs) work great, the fan for them is unbearably noisy, defeating the notion of a quiet cabin.

Comfortable front seats, handles well. But, If you live in an area that gets a large amount of snow get the all wheel drive. 3" of snow slight incline and you are in trouble. Even with the proper mode selection.

The new Corsair is a crossover rather than an SUV. It rides like a well mannered sedan, seats 4 adults or 2 adults and 3 children comfortably, but could handle 5 adults for a shorter ride as well. While the Corsair isn't a car for driving enthusiasts, it is fantastic for those of us who like a smooth, quiet ride with plenty of features once the Reserve level is in play. The interior is nice and leather rich, and affords an extreme quiet in which to indulge the top of the line Revel sound system, one of the best in the automotive world. Although it comes in a 2.0 and 2.3 engine, the former is really sufficient. Having driven both (I own the former and always get the latter for a loaner when my car is being serviced) the difference is noticable, yet subtle, and I find the 2.0, especially in "Excite" mode quite sufficient. UPDATE: After 3 years driving my Corsair I find I still enjoy its nimble handling and quiet comfort.

Got the Reserve 2.0 AWD with most of the goodies. Ingot metallic silver and black leather interior. This SUV makes heads turn. Might not have the reputation of a Benz or BMW , but it’s definitely a sharper looking vehicle with a great comfortable Lincoln ride. It does more than just compete with this class— in a lot of ways it surpasses the competition. Highly recommend.

I sold my 2016 MKC and now have a Corsair Reserve I, 2.0 AWD with only the elements package (47,620 sticker price) and I am so disappointed in this vehicle (I want my MKC back!). After two months I feel the overall quality is cheap compared to my MKC. It has so many annoyances I'm ready to get rid of it. I should have test driven it longer as I find the suspension to be absolutely terrible. You really feel the road in this vehicle and it's miserable on a bumpy road (my MKC was so smooth). Also, it had a loud dash rattle (drove me crazy) that only occurred when the weather was somewhat warm (for winter). I couldn't take it to the dealer because it was hit-or-miss depending on the temperatures throughout the day, so I thought I'd just put up with it until spring and then take it in. After many frustrating attempts to find the rattle, on my own, I finally did. It was a loose panel under the steering column, so I made a wedge with folded newspaper to tighten it. I'll know for sure when the weather stays warm, if I stopped the rattle or not. A huge annoyance is the tailgate on this vehicle. It sounds very cheap when it pops open (there's a lot of hollow space and plastic panel on it). This is hard to believe, but when it's raining or just wet from a car wash and you have to pop the tailgate, water gets in the back and things get wet-the harder it's raining the worse it is. I have to keep paper towels handy to wipe up! I'm going to talk to the dealer about why this is! Also, in the center glovebox there's an annoying non removable tray that makes it hard to reach down in for things-very poor design. There's a button for the radio right on the steering wheel and I can't tell you how many times I've messed up the radio station when turning. I have to change the way I hold the steering wheel to make turns now. The windshield wipers are noisy. I'm hoping they just aren't broken in yet and that will get better. I also want to comment on the seat- the standard seat that comes with the Reserve I. The seat you actually sit on (not the backrest) barely tilts up or down in the front, or up and down in the back (forward and backward is fine). It's one of those things I never tried when I test drove it. The seat seemed fine at the time, but now that I've been in it two months I really want that simple adjustment that I'm used to (to raise the back of the seat, or lower the front) and I can't do it-hard to believe in a Lincoln. Big negative! Compared to all the vehicles I've had in my 68 years this vehicle might look nice, but to me it's cheap and I'm very disappointed and unhappy with it. The Lincoln quality I had in my MKC is not in this vehicle-not even close. Really take your time and vet this vehicle thoroughly. Update: I've had this vehicle ten months now and I CANNOT WAIT TO GET RID OF IT. I leased this time so I have to wait. Also, Sirius Radio trial ended and I realized there is NO CD player!! Shame on Lincoln! Something I never thought to look for. Dash still rattles. Cheap, cheap, cheap! Not worth the money.

I've had my Standard 2.0 Corsair for a month now and absolutely love it! Excellent value and excellent ride. Tons of safety features standard which actually had my insurance lower from my 2016 Audi A3 Cabrolet...This Corsair is the lowest priced vehicle I could find on the lot and that's fine with me. It has all I need. I Have the Pristine White exterior and the sandstone interior and OMG I love it! Just what I wanted in a small SUV. My 1st Lincoln and its perfect!

I traded in my Lincoln MKC last February for the2020 Cosair and I have to say the worst decision I have ever made when getting a Lincoln. It is very sluggish to drive, noisy and not smooth to drive. When I first got the car and it rained the car mats were soaked because the factory forgot to seal the window properly and because it took awhile to be fixed the carpets were musty therefore the carpets had to be replaced. The car has had 2 recalls which I found out about on the internet first not from the dealership. Now I am getting a notice everyday from my Lincoln app that the car has gone into a deep sleep to conserve the battery which means when I go to the car to open the door I have to use my keys because the keyless entry does not work. This is my 4th Lincoln and sadly it will be my last. When I got the car the salesman who I have always dealt with was no more interested in leasing me this vehicle then the man in the moon that should have been a sign to go else where. I would not recommend this vehicle not for the price that I paid. Extremely disappointed

So many good things about this car. The ride, the features, the looks. 2.0 has plenty of power. It's downfall is the fact the interior isn't screwed together well. Squeaks and rattles from every corner, even the seats. Really ruins the Quiet Luxury idea. On top of that, I never know which electric things will take a vacation. Seats? Liftgate? Auto hold? I was so excited to buy a new Lincoln, but it'll be that last one I buy.

Hello: When I initially leased this vehicle, I didn't have any issues. However, 6 months in and that's when the problems began. It started with me receiving messages stating the car was entering Deep Sleep Mode. And literally over the course of three months, I received at least 35 of these messages. The battery actually died on two occasions and I had to have the car towed to the dealership. The dealership's solution was to charge the battery. That resolution lasted a few weeks and the cycle repeated itself. Therefore, back to the dealership it goes. The service tech found a wiring issue and that eventually solves that issue. The second issue, which is extremely more troubling is the following: Leaving work one day, I start the car and I get a message that states, "Vehicle Network Communication Error". The whole dashboard goes out, the windows won't let down, can't open the trunk, can't adjust the mirrors etc. Luckily, I was able to drive it home. The next day, the battery was totally dead. Had to have the car towed back to the dealership. The technician said it was a fuse, which was not covered under warranty, so I had to pay out of pocket. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. Approximately 6 months later, the car does the exact same thing in a Kroger parking lot. So back to you guessed it, the dealership. It was in the shop for three days and each time I called and asked for an update, they couldn't tell me what the issue was. Finally, after a conversation with the chief engineer it was determined there was a shortage in the dashboard. I can only hope that the issue is now fixed. I truly believe the vehicles these days have too much technology and the service techs are not trained throughly enough to diagnose these problems and fix them correctlythe first time. I tried to get out of this lease early. Of course, Lincoln wouldn't buy the car back. Needless to say, when this lease is up, this will certainly be my last Lincoln product.

A Big Disappointment
An Unexcited Customer, 02/05/2021
2020 Lincoln Corsair 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
8 of 11 people found this review helpful
I purchased a 2020 Lincoln Corsair October 2020. I was so excited about owning a Luxury car!!! It was a dream come true..at least for about 3 months...then the nightmare began. When I went out to start my car (February 2021) it wouldn't start. After a 3rd attempt, it started but when I put it in gear, it instantly cut off. That's right, a problem with a "Brand New Car". The dashboard didn't light up and it would not do anything. However a message did appear on the console indicating a computer error. A COMPUTER PROBLEM WITH A BRAND NEW CAR!!!! To make matters even worst, I had to set up getting the car to the dealership with a wreck truck...they didn't provide setting up that service for me. The customer service that I am getting from LINCOLN A "LUXURY CAR COMPANY" is just as disappointing as having purchased a new Lincoln. This is not only a review on the car itself, but a review of the customer service at Lincoln that promised to make your purchasing experience a great experience. I must say I learned the hard way.

I switched from 12 years of Mazda ownership because I loved the look of the Corsair, and because Mazda is so slow to refresh its vehicles. Not even 1,000 km on the odo and the starter needing replacing. In the same period, it had to get boosted 3 times. Now the fancy Detroit Symphony chimes have quit working. The settings seem to randomly reset themselves, too. Really, you don’t get what you pay for with this vehicle. As soon as Mazda comes out with a CX7 replacement, I’ll be back at their doorstep. Should have never left in the first place.

I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life buying my first and only Lincoln I will ever buy! This car has the hardest seats I have experienced. I could have a cement park bench and be more comfortable. I thought it was just the driver seat but it is the passenger seat as well. I have a 60 mile commute to the office and by the time I get there I am sore. I have had more muscle problems over the 8 months than the last 8 years. Of course, during the test drive this wasn't so obvious but on the 40 mile drive home my sister said to me, "this seat is kind of hard". Within a week, I was back at the dealership trying to get into another car like maybe a Nautilus because I couldn't take it. The dealership told me I needed $7,000.00., within a week. Lincoln financed and that is what they said. So, I contacted the so-called Lincoln Concierge for help and of course, they said they could not help me. So, when I have to take a long trip, I rent cars. This is the first American-made car I have purchased and it may not be my last but believe the next one will be a Cadillac. I now realize when Lincoln preaches about customer satisfaction, its only when its good for Lincoln not the customer. As soon as I can get out of this car I will. I HATE THIS CAR!

The car is beautiful with $57K asking price and 2.3 L Turbo. I came from a loaded Jeep and I've never experienced a better infotainment system than Chrysler's U-Connect, the industry standard. Corsairs' is so so in comparison so it's disappointing. Seats are not as bolstered and comfortable as the Jeep but I can't say Corsairs' are uncomfortable. I'm used to them now. Though the premium option, radio in Jeep was not as good sound-wise but could be blasted with nothing rattling. Corsair interior parts rattle when the volume is half blasted. I'm very happy with the drive train. Shifting and acceleration are good. Steering and braking are also good. Ride is basically good in city with its holes and bumps and great on highway, smooth and quiet. The collision warning system comes in handy. Interior is knock out gorgeous. I get compliments on the car. The seat memory has Alzheimer's and rarely gets it right. Twice the auto lift gate lifted slowly and 1/2 way up. Once the car is turned off and restarted lift gate seems to fix itself. For the price of this car, I expected a perfect car. Lane change warning was audible in my last car but on HUD in Corsair. Audible works better for me and I miss it. To me this is just a car. I don't have a love affair with it as I have had with others I've owned. Would buy it again? Maybe. I'll definitely comparison shop next time.

J.D. I purchased this vehicle for my husband’s birthday. I thought it was going be a a great gift. When he received the car, he found a lot of things wrong that I did not know to look for. We have always own cars with great performance and quality. When he drove the car and it was raining the wipers didn’t work properly, there was a noise inside that he could not locate. We dove the car for a while just to see if this would go away, but it didn’t. There was no CD player in the car. Who sells a car without a CD player? I have never had to ask any salesman if there was a CD player in the car. It would be like asking if there was an engine in the car. The car is loud inside on the road and this jerking when you are at a stop. This is something I did not expect from from a Lincoln company. I have always thought that everything they sold was of high quality. We have had some great cars in our 50 years of owning them. I have never been more unsatisfied with a car as with this one. We will be trading this 2020 Corsair by my husband next birthday. Please everyone who wants to buy this car, test drive it for a few days before you purchase it. I purchased this car in January 2020 and it only has 1988 miles on it and now it’s August. My husband doesn’t want to drive it so you can imagine how that makes me feel. I really wanted him to have something special.
GreAt car to drive and enjoy.

Just bought my Corsair, presently has 600 miles on it. Love the style and comfort. Keeping in mind that car isn’t really broke in yet, I have noticed somethings I can’t it use to. Car seems to “lag” at slow speeds, I don’t like the Stop and Hold feature, maybe I’ll get use to it, wish I could turn it off, permanently. All in all it’s a great vehicle

Purchased the car on August 2nd and ended up in the shop three weeks later for a MyKey problem that ended up being some problem that service cannot fix. It's been in the shop for 3 1/2 weeks. Obviously it's a lemon and I hope Lincoln does the right thing by replacing the car. I loved this car but with problems that can't be fixed, glad it happened sooner rather than later.

No Engine Cover - You're Kidding

Can you believe that a Lincoln Corsair (touted to be a luxury brand vehicle) comes without an engine manifold cover? I even spoke with the local Lincoln dealership and they confirmed that Lincoln stopped placing manifold covers on the Corsair as a cost savings procedure???? You don't even raise the hood of a lower priced Hyundai and not find a manifold cover. What's sad is that Lincoln did not even take the time to modify the design and left the two screw holes where you would normally secure the cover! I asked about purchasing one and they are not even in the parts catalog. Luxury brand??? I think not. If Lincoln cannot even match a Hyundai with a manifold cover and, the Corsair prices itself thousands of dollars more than the Hyundai, how can Lincoln consider itself a luxury brand? So much is in the detail and alas Lincoln has failed on this one. Who appreciates raising the hood only to see a mass of wires, tubing, etc.?

Great replacement for Audi Q5
Tim from MN, 10/27/2021
2020 Lincoln Corsair 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I had been a devoted German auto buyer for many years (VW and Audi). German makes are fine, dependable, and luxurious with sporty handling but the kryptonite has always been the cost of maintenance. My 2015 Audi Q5 had 95,000 on it and I was facing a timing chain/water pump replacement for over $5,000. So decided to reduce those costs over the life of the car and buy American instead. I've been pleasantly surprised by the new generation of Lincolns and the Corsair has bettered my Audi in terms of luxury, handling, performance, and options. I bought a Standard Corsair used with 2,600 miles on it - it came well equipped with the equipment group, premium package, and the elements package. Compared to the Reserve model, mine had most everything except adaptive suspension and no fog lights. If I were purchasing new though, I would recommend the Reserve model for all the options and features. Highs: The ride is just stellar - super luxurious but with sporty handling which is more evident when you select excite mode. I drive it in conserve mode most of the time though as I put a lot of highway miles on it. My combined mileage has been 26 and have appreciated not having to use premium all the time but buy premium when gas prices are low. The cabin is super quiet and have appreciated the many options including ventilated seats, 360 degree camera, adaptive cruise, lane departure, blind spot monitoring, and adaptive bright headlamps that dim automatically when another car approaches. The seats are the most comfortable I've ever had. Navigation is old style but easy to use touchscreen and all the controls are simply laid out and not confusing. Ergonomics are fantastic - great for long trips. All of these features are improvements over what I would have had with Audi and at a more reasonable price mostly because I purchased used. Lows: The car sits lower so you don't get that command view if that is important to you. You sit a bit higher than a standard passenger auto but it's also not a command view. The pushbutton transmission takes awhile to get used to. Not having a stick frees up more room in the console but the trade off is that you are forced to look down and find the keys to push instead of shifting based on feel. I've had a few fixes already covered under warranty including a blue screen when in back up mode and the auto-hold function stopped working (when the car comes to a stop and you can take the foot off the brake before driving again). This wasn't a dangerous situation at all because the system notified me that it wasn't working and to just drive as I normally would. The factory Michelin Tires that came with the car are crap after 12,000 though I've gotten used to having crap factory tires on newer cars (when you buy a luxury car though, I think they should last longer). The entertainment system is ok/meh but would recommend upgrading. Overall, very pleased with my purchase. The exterior is attractive and eye-catching and sporty looking. Hoping that the reliability will also hold up with lower maintenance costs. We'll see!

My 39 month test drive (lease) is up soon and I plan on purchasing. I have the standard with Convenience pkg The vehicle is quick, quiet, & comfortable, Shifting is flawless even in excite mode where other vehicles usually just hang up on higher revs I have the Faux leather seats which is not a plus but very comfortable on my back even on 500 mile trip. I also have the 18 inch wheels which provides the best ride quality. I use premium gas for top performance and engine wear. I have looked at several comparable vehicles in anticipation of lease end and I think my best option is keeping it. As I read 1&2 star reviews of other vehicles as well as mine I wouldn’t buy any of them. I would be crazy not to keep the one I have . It has been perfect!

We decided to break from purchasing a foreign make and opt for a domestic make and after driving a number of mid and small sized suvs, settled on the Lincoln Corsair 2.3 and ourchased one brand new in 2020. First tear was fine. 2nd year had electrical issues and would not pass state inspection. 2023 had a recall and needed software update. This week had the following warning notices: 'Warning AdvanceTrac", "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available", "AWD Malfunction Service Required", "AWD Off", "Drive Control Malfunction Service Required". The vehicle gas 29K miles. It is driving like it has 4 flat tires. To say I am disgusted is an understatement. Back to the shop we go.......

This is my 5th Lincoln. Said that to say I'm pretty familiar with the brand and what I'm getting into when purchasing a Lincoln and I really like them. What i was not prepared for was this new seating. The drivers seat almost has me to the point where all beats are off. Which is just sad and im constantly asking myself did this mistake just cost me 1000s of dollars? I can not get comfortable for anything. It makes my hip hurt. Of course I didn't know this would be an issue when I brought it and nothing stood out in the first week or so but as I drive more it has clearly become an issue. At first I thought it was me but then one of my grown kids was with me and throughout the day started complaining that they didn't like the seats and couldn't find a decent position. We've never ever had this problem in any of our vehicles so this is extremely disappointing and has us perplexed as to why or what happened with this Lincoln. I'm on a hunt now to find support or anything that can make the seat better. We've also noticed that the vehicle shakes like the wind is blowing it really hard ( and its not) when on the hwy sometimes very strange as well. If it had not been for those two issues I would have given the review all the stars.

This vehicle is the go to SUV if you are looking for something small yet stylish. I love all the features that come with the vehicle. Heated seats and steering wheel, hands free accessories, drive mode, heads up display and etc.....I was also impressed with the price for a luxury SUV. If you are looking for quality, consider a Lincoln Cosair. You will not be disappointed.
