Used 2021 Lincoln Corsair Consumer Reviews
Nothing but heartache
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.

Back to Lincoln
When the the Corsair finally came out we traded in a one year old Acura RDX and we’re glad we did. The Corsair by far is the better of the two

Great for the ladies
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.

A test drive revealed some flaws
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.
Fantastic Luxury in a Small Footprint
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.
