I purchased this vehicle for three reasons. The first being, I am a empty nester, 2nd I am retiring soon, and lastly I wanted to own a vehicle that would be fully equipped with all of the bells and whistles. I deserve it! Having the vehicle for one year, I could not be more pleased. This vehicle is worth every penny that I spent. It is a very good looking car, and holds itself quite nicely compared to other small luxury cuvs. I have been getting exceptional gas mileage in the city. This vehicle handles quite nicely and is very quiet. I have read reviews where some critics argue that it does not handle like some other sport cuvs. If I wanted a sporty car, I would by a "sports car." I want a smooth, quiet, soft ride. The safety features, the technology, real leather heated and cooled seats, you cannot beat it for the price. European vehicles would cost a lot more with the same packages. I know this for a fact! I have owned my share of European vehicles and base my statement on actual ownership. This is a vehicle worthy of being referred to as a luxury vehicle.

MKC made a Lincoln man out of me!

Those that think the MKC is just a gussied up Escape are making a big mistake. My wife has an Infiniti EX35 and this competes very well in all facets. The ride is luxury in a European way and seems bigger and even heavier than you expect but in a very good way. Synch seems to be surprisingly better than my first experience and this is the best Bluetooth phone quality in any car I have experienced. If you are looking for a small luxury SUV, you should make time to test drive an MKC.

Awesome Vehicle

We narrowed our choice down to the MKC and the Acura RDX. They both had many of the same features, but we like the more luxurious interior and eye catching exterior of the MKC. The RDX just looks like another Honda on the road and we wanted something else. We have the 2.0 and find it has plenty of power. The transmission shifts smoothly and we love the Sport mode. At night the car has so many great lighting features including the welcome mat, lighted outside and inside door handles and the ambient interior lighting (with 6 color choices). Our only negative feedback is the back seat room when the front seats are pushed all the way back - a little snug. However, our car has the heated back seats and that makes up for it in the winter time! I would recommend this car to anyone that wants to feel like they are driving a European car but wants to by American.

This is my 1st cross over. I also own a 2014 volvo s60 t6 awd that I love dearly. But this car got me in the sweet spot and i'm a 27 year old. If you're looking for 0-60 times or engaging performance looks elsewhere. But if you want a car that can carry some bags and make driving after a long day the easiest thing in the world. This is your one of the best option. Sometimes during hwy driving I purposely take the longer route so I wont have to get out(no lie) its so easy to drive. I would've never looked at lincoln before. The only thing I hate is the placement of the gear change please give me a stick back.

Lincoln MKC- I had no idea I would like it so much

I bought my 2015 Lincoln MKC used and have owned it 2 weeks and put approximately 1,000 miles on it including a round trip road trip and daily commuting to and from work. I really like this little SUV and wish I had test driven one earlier. I found an almost completely loaded “Reserve” model with lots of nice options including a Technology Package. Mine has the 2.0 eco boost engine and is FWD. I’m 54, 6’ and 190#’s – I just give this as reference so you know who is reviewing the vehicle. I have owned many vehicles from domestics, imports, sedans, coupes, and full size SUVs. I have owned several of the newer iteration Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit’s – I really loved my 2013 but was not as impressed with my 2015 so I sold it and began my search for another vehicle. Recently, I test drove (all used but newer) Mercedes GLK, Audi Q5, and a Cadillac SRX. I really wanted to like all of these cars but for one reason or another did not feel right in them. I realize that there are lots of personal preferences that go into a car decision- that’s why there are so many choices! So I was searching and found the Lincoln MKC at a dealership and decided to check it out – I really didn’t think I was going to like it. First impression, the exterior styling and fit and finish on the MKC is very good; it is a very solid looking vehicle. The interior- very nice. Again, fit and finish and materials used are very good. Not only do they look good, the interior is very attractive – it looks much better in person than in pictures. Driver and front passenger’s seats – very comfortable and contouring to the body. The leather is very supple and feels like very good quality. I did not think I would like the ‘push button’ gear selector but if frees up for more storage space and it’s actually kind of cool. Took the MKC for a road test and again, super impressed. So, I bought it! Here are the things I really like about this car: 1) The fit and finish and materials used are all very good. The MKC I bought had 21,000 miles on it and I hear no creaks, squeaks, or unwanted noises! 2) the vehicle is very comfortable and quiet 3) The ride is very nice and smooth- it feels like you are in a much bigger vehicle. If you want a little more responsiveness, however, the ‘sport’ mode gives you just that – the sport mode is definitely more fun to drive in. 4) acceleration for this vehicle is amazing to have a 2.0 turbo engine – the engine is refined and quiet 5) in the short time I have owned it, with a combo of around town and interstate driving, I am averaging right at 27 miles per gallon 6) Lots of nice features, great stereo, pano roof, lots of tech stuff, voice activated tech, heated and cooled seats 7) decent utility for a small SUV Some things you may not like: 1) this is an overall fairly small SUV – I’m 6’ and find it plenty accommodating for me. 2) The back seat space is fairly limited – if you are car pooling or taking adult size children around, it may be too small. 3) If you truly need and SUV for hauling some cargo and lots of stuff in the back, again, this one is on the small side. 4) The tech and navigation takes a little bit to get used to, but it is not bad. If you are in the market for a smaller SUV, I highly recommend you test drive a Lincoln MKC; I have been pleasantly surprised.

I was getting a little tired of getting in and out of a small car everyday and went looking for a mini-luxo-crossover (or whatever you call them, now) for my daily hour drive. Admittedly, the only reason I thought about this car was those silly commercials. But still, I took a look and was surprised. For the sticker price on the lot, you cannot compare this to some of the cars mentioned in Edmunds review. I put $45k as a top on what I wanted to pay. My local dealers did not have an MB GLK or Audi Q5 for less than $47k on the lot. And the only BMW X3 I found under $50k didn't even have nav! Really? Yes, there was a Volvo XC60 or two that fit in my range. But not as loaded as I was able to get my MKC. I got the upgrade 2.3l engine, awd, the nav package, and several other options, including the incredible panoramic roof for $44k before any haggling or rebates. I would say this model straddles segments as it more directly competed in price with the MB GLA class, BMW X1, Infiniti QX50, Audi Q3, and Volvo XC70, all of which I'd call tall wagons. None had the ride height of the MKC. The only vehicle I would say directly competes is the Acura RDX. It did have more space and otherwise had similar features for the price, topping out at $44k. But, honestly, the 3.5l V-6 in the Acura felt gutless compared to the 2.3l turbo 4 in the MKC. That was probably my deciding factor. In all, I'm thrilled w/ my purchase.

Second time back . Car has 46k, This time the car had to be towed. Won’t shift- again. No power- again. I have a 2011 Caddy SRX with 117k on it. It’s never been to a repair shop/ dealer except for PM . The Lincoln is now on number four. That in 46k. No way will I buy another unless Lincoln makes some big changes in quality of product.

UPDATING REVIEW. In June 2022, some clown ran a red light -- didn't charge a yellow, he just decided to punch the gas and run a red light -- and caused an accident. Thank God my wife, who was driving to work, hit him rather than him hitting her. Had it been the other way around, she may have been severely hurt or killed, because NONE of the airbags worked. She hit him in the right rear passenger door of his Toyota Camry. Although she had the heavier vehicle, due to the high rate of speed he was going -- clearly over 60 from witnesses -- and her moving rather slowly having just come off the line, making her max speed only 20 mph, the Lincoln was dragged more than 20 feet sideways in the direction he was going, and spun like a top. She had pulled out after waiting for cross traffic to clear the intersection after her light turned green. Thank goodness a gentleman behind her stayed to ensure the police got the right story. Otherwise, being she hit the other guy, she would have been the one getting a ticket. And as expected, the guy, some Arab, claimed he had the green light and my wife ran the red light. This nice Korean gentleman waited for the police to take his and my wife's statements, and then pulled the police aside to ensure they had the facts. When he explained what happened, as he'd witnessed it all right in front of him, they paid more attention to the skid marks, end positions of the two vehicles, and the nature of the damage. They then promptly ticketed the other driver. That is about the accident. I mention this to lay the foundation of this complaint, which is about Lincoln as a company. We loved our MKC. It had 79,000 miles on it, and yet was like new. NEVER had a repair done. Only maintenance, and a couple minor recalls. Yet in this accident, in which USAA totaled the vehicle -- they did some once the figure went over $16,500 and they weren't even done yet -- again, the airbags failed. The dashboard under the steering wheel popped open, and a bag fell out on my wife's legs, but never inflated. Meanwhile, nothing else was observed in the vehicle. I called my dealer telling the service manager what happened and asked where the other airbags were on the vehicle. I asked him to confirm that I understood there was supposedly one in the steering wheel and one in the header panel. He said he didn't know and I had to speak with Lincoln. He gave me what was supposed to be the phone number for Lincoln Customer Service, but it was Ford Roadside Assistance. He'd just blown me off. NOT a good start. Calling back and complaining to the sales manager, he gave me the right number. I provide all the information on what happened to the gentleman I spoke with, but he seemed more concernede about a law suit than anything else. He asked, "Are you making a claim?" I said no, no one was hurt, but I was concerned about the airbags. I noted we would likely have to replace the vehicle, considering the amount of damage done, but wanted to know what went wrong. I wanted to know if Lincoln had information on this happening before, and if so, what was being done about it, if anything. He said he had no information and that I would get a call back from their office of "General Counsel". I said that's absurd, they are lawyers and lawyers aren't going to be able to answer technical questions. I needed a technical person; an engineer who knows the vehicle. I was nonetheless told GC would contact me in 10-14 days. Needless to say nothing of the sort happened. They blew me off. I tried calling two other dealers, all who simply pushed me off to the same customer service number. NO ONE from any dealer would talk about the airbag system on their vehicle. I called several times trying to get hold of the owner of my dealer -- Britt Ford/Lincoln -- but neither brother was ever around. I tried two more times with the customer service number, but this time was treated abruptly and blown off by smarmy smart mouths who clearly didn't want to deal with this matter at all. They kept telling me I had to call the dealer. I told them the dealers (three of them) refused to discuss the matter and simply kept pushing me back to customer service. One clown actually said, "Well that's their perogative." I finally got fed up and said, "Alright. That's enough! I want the name of the CEO for Lincoln and the corporate address to write that person." I did this on two occasions with two different "customer service" reps, only to be told, "I'm sorry, we can't give out that information." When I said that was absurd, that it's public information, not some state secret, one guy said, "That's corporate policy." I finally had enough. My wife was interested in another Lincoln, but I told her there was NO WAY we were spending our hard earned money on a company that reacts like that. It wasn't some disgruntled employee giving the company a bad name. It was three different dealerships and three separate customer service reps. EVERYONE was refusing to help. The bottom line is we went shopping and my wife chose the Audi Q3. She liked her MKC very much, as did I. But she likes the Audi Q3 even better. I finally reached one of the Britt brothers and informed him of what happened, noting it was too late, that we bought an Audi. He said he was sorry for what we went through. I noted he needed to know that Lincoln customer service, not to mention his dealership service manager, and two other dealerships, all lost him a customer because of their blowing us off. BY THE WAY, I made a report with the National Traffic Safety Board and they conducted and as told if they found this to be a one off, it would be documented, but if they found other such cases, they would conduct an investigation. Well, a week later I was contacted by an engineer from the board with a list of questions noting they were conducting an investigation. They will not share the results of said investigation, but I shared this fact with my insurance company, USAA. The person handling my case there was very concerned about the fact that NONE of the airbags worked too. So, consider this. The MKC was a great vehicle. I understand the airbags are manufactured by someone else. But they are used by the manufacturer. Lincoln, in this case, demonstrated zero concern that ALL the airbags failed, which would have resulted in serious bodily injury had my wife been hit in the accident rather than the other way around. They refused to answer questions, blew me off, and lied about General Counsel contacting me. They not only had no interest in sending anyone to inspect the vehicle to see why the airbags may have failed to operate, but weren't interested in any of the photos I had of the accident. Bottom line -- Ford/Lincoln lost a customer for life over a very stupid response. Their customer service was not even a case of customer "LIP" service. They flat out refused to cooperate. I made yet another complaint months later, just to let them know what we did. That person wrote it up and apologized for what was not a proper response, but I never got a call or letter from anyone. Clearly their management really doesn't give a rat's behind. This is an update from my first input five years ago.

Lovin my Lincoln

I have been a Jeep Grand Cherokee girl for years but every time I went to look at a new one my mechanical engineer nephew discourage me due to it's transmission issues. He sent me to look at the MKC. After a five minute test drive I bought it. I live in West Virginia in a rural area on a mountain top. It handles the twist and turns and ruff roads with ease. It has never left me stuck on the snow or ice. It climbed up the mountain during a winter storm without slipping once. It's beautiful to look at (much better than the boring Honda CRV) and fun to drive. When traveling I can take it out of Sport mode (I use this on the twisty back roads I drive daily) and place it in Comfort mode. I have two small issues with it; cargo area and SYNC. It has half the storage area of my old Grand Cherokee and I have the first edition of the SYNC and it has a couple of bugs that have been worked out in the second edition. All in all I love it. It's beautiful to look, comfortable for my 5'9 middle aged body, and easy and fun to drive.

I love my MKC.I searched for a year and drove every luxury brand small SUV. This one is the best. Solid with all of the cutting edge technology in a Small SUV. The HID headlights and interior lighting are the best I have ever seen.Love the Blind spot cross traffic feature. With the Lincoln Drive Control option(which is a must) the car drives as smooth as a large sedan like the Avalon I traded in. The engine is peppy and equal to my wife's 2012 BMW X 3. The workmanship the best I have seen on the interior and exterior.I love the styling and how it drives. Tremendous value for the money and No it is Not an Escape warmed over. This car is unique and I could not be happier with it After driving the car for 27 thousand miles I could not be happier. It is a fun car to drive. Reliable. Has all of the bells and whistles. I particularly use and like the blind side alert in the side mirror. I love the sirius radio which it works great. The size of the car is really one thing that is best for me. I like a small car to zip in a out of parking spaces . Short turning radius. but the feel and quality of a large car. this car still feels tight and new after a year and a half of driving and 27 thousand miles. The linclon drive control feature makes it have the road feel of my old Avalon which was two feet longer and heavier. This is the best car I have ever owned and I don't know why everyone doesn't want one. The only issue I have is with the navigation system. It goes haywire and sends us in circles ever now and then . Have taken it to the dealer four times and paid $150 for an update but still not comfortable with it. Still love the car and dealer . They try but I just think the system Lincoln put in this first model has bugs in it. Another negative issue is the message feature which does not work . Lincoln says it is Apples problem and Apple says it is Lincoln s problem . I’m stuck in the middle . It is a very convenient feature which my wife uses on her Lexus and which I should have but neither Lincoln or Apple can figure out how to make it work , shame since I love everything about the car except the navigation system and the fact the texting feature I paid for doesn’t work.

I have NEVER been so disappointed in a Ford product or their Customer Service as I am right now!

I have only ever owned Ford products and I had to have the New MKC, I bought the 1st on the lot. Lets just say, total disappointment!! My transmission "shattered" in the middle of the highway at 9k miles, all the ABS sensors have been replaced, the emergency brake engages sporadically while I am driving. This vehicle is not safe to drive and has left me in unsafe conditions on several occasions, that is not what I paid $45,000 for. I filed Lemon Law with the BBB so now Lincoln has told me that they can no longer help me or repair my vehicle under the warranty because I had to go and file a complaint with the BBB as my right as a consumer. I have never been treated so poorly in my life!

2015 Rust after 1 year

E. Prescott, 10/14/2016
2015 Lincoln MKC 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
32 of 38 people found this review helpful

The car is fun to drive, and is comfortable. However it's like putting lipstick on a pig. I have been in and out of service for the last year, and a half. Is it great I get a rental each time. Sure is. At would have been worse without it. The amount of trips I have had to the dealer planning around my family is not something I expected in owning a brand new luxury vehicle. I was in for a broken amp 4 times. Headline did not fit from the factory, it took four attempts to fix. My automatic mirrors went on the fritz, and that is common in these vehicles. I was back and forth to the dealer during rush hour which was a far drive. Then there is the rust, at around a year in my husband found it. Now my husband washes and waxes my vehicle regularly. I have never had a vehicle rust in the first year. Yes Lincoln removed the rust. So far twice at two different dealers. These are both on the front drivers doors on the bottom along the wedge. We started wondering why our vehicle rusted after a year. Then I started noticing that after a hard rain, when I would open the door water would gush out. My husband noticed he could put his thumbnail in the seam right below where the rust was. Clearly this was the cause. Lincoln however and their service departments refuse to recognize this as a problem, or rectify the issue. We found a site where the GMC Terrains and Equinox's have the same water issue, and they suggested replacing the weather seal around the frame of the door. Lincoln's response was GM's doors are engineered differently, and "the doors are doing what they are engineered to do" At this point I started doing reviews on Lincoln's Facebook page. Slowly my links are being deleted, and I found others who had the same thing happen. Lincoln is not a reputable company. Also if you look up Ford Rust, or Look up Ford Escape Rust it is all over in the same spot on the doors on the Escapes. Sounds like an engineering defect. I would caution anyone from buying any products from Ford/Lincoln. I know I won't be buying on in my lifetime.

Front seats are extremely comfortable.The leather wrapped steering wheel feels superb. It is a good height for getting in and out of easily. Gas mileage seems to be as advertised. But after driving it for three months, I have regretted my decision to buy. The ride seems harsh and jarring. I wish I had not let the dealer talk me out of waiting for one with the CCD. And why would a luxury vehicle (Select trim) not have a power adjusting steering wheel connected to the memory settings! Even worse, the lever for manually adjusting the steering wheel is very difficult to engage. Cargo space proved to be too limited for a trip with four adults.

Terrific Car So Far

First time Lincoln owner, Im impressed. Test drove the GMC Acadia Denali, Cadillac, 4runner , Enclave, Jeep, Q3. All but the Buick had rough tight rides and were pretty loud. I like the design , sleek and modern, Lincoln is trying to reinvent themselves with younger designers resulting in smoother contours and open dash presentation are become Lincoln standards. The double winged grill is also very appealing and unlike the MKX has decreased height and has a more polished finish. I am happy with Sync as well, but it could be better. Back seat is a bit tight, but for rare office colleague lunch drives it's okay.

I have a 2.3L Reserve model that is almost fully loaded. It rides nicely, is fairly quiet and has decent pick-up. Mileage has been around 20 mpg in mostly city driving, which I find disappointing for a 4 cylinder. I love all the features like push-button start, heated & cooled memory seats, heated steering wheel, etc. I downsized from a Ford Edge and like the more compact vehicle, although back seat legroom is tight and the cargo area is a bit small. As with the Edge, the A/C doesn't modulate well; it's either too cold or too warm. It's been a very reliable and enjoyable vehicle, and I get lots of compliments on it.

Good car but VERY ford!

My family has a lot of cars; this one is perfect for my Mom. While technology, safety, and ease of use is exceptional this car lacks refinement. While quieter than many other cars, once you hit 70mph you will hear road noises, this is masked by having an amazing sound system (better than most cars). The drive is generally soft and smooth, and the first time you drive it it’s a good amount of fun; but after the 14th-1000th drive it feels artificial. Electric steering has no feeling, acceleration is all or nothing with a touchy throttle, the car handles well but only because of torque vectoring (safety feature where some of the will wheels brake indpendently as determined by computer), and the engine has a very annoying grinding sound especially at high revs. Braking; however, is very smooth and much better than any previous ford I’ve been in. There’s a very unrefined jerk the car gives when you shift into drive, or when you take your foot off the gas. Interior is good, it’s very attractive with customizable lights and attractive gauges but again like a Ford it gets small details done exceptionally well but massively drops the ball on large quality details. Steering wheel feels cheaper than what you’d expect on a nissan, there are gaps underneath the cover with the lincoln badge big enough for a finger. The plastic bits on major areas you make contact with everyday feel poorly held together, and the key is just chrome covered plastic. Alright all that out of the way, why do I say car is 4/5 stars over all? It’s more reliable than similar cars and a better value. Although I personally dislike it and notice all the small issues (and left several out) the cars only major flaws are a lack of refinement. If you’re looking for a crossover suv that looks really nice and is loaded with features that drive the car for you, you’re in luck. While driving you won’t even notice the lack of refinement if you haven’t driven a hundred other cars. Most of it is superficial, and the sound system is so good you might just not care anyway. All in all the low information gauges (which I haven’t previously mentioned) are much more annoying than the cost cutting feel of the car. Because of this 3 or 4 out of 5 stars is the most accurate way to describe the car.

It's a fun ride with all the bells and whistles that you would expect when buying a luxury car. The heated steering wheel is probably my favorite feature. The blind spot sensors are nice as well. Great acceleration and a quiet engine.. sleek interior and exterior. It's a beautiful car. I've only owned my MKC for a month and the major con thus far is the gas milage. I'm averaging 20mph and seem to be running the to gas station more frequently than I would have expected. The trunk space is a little tight as well. My 20 lb dog's crate hardly fit in the trunk and left little room for anything else. I guess this is to be expected for a smaller SUV.. the MKX would be a little more spacious.

I have had my 2.3 ruby red with hazelnut interior MKC for 6 weeks and 2400 miles and am very happy with it. I have used the normal, comfort and sport modes but generally keep it in sport. The 2.3 has great power and I am averaging 19.8MPG with combination of city/highway driving. I first had to learn how to manage the gas pedal to avoid too rapid acceleration. The front seat comfort is outstanding and quality nearly perfect. Before buying, my 6'3" 15 year old had to sit in the backseat to see if there was headroom and legroom. With the front passenger seat somewhat forward and his seat reclining, there was no problem. The multitude of features and the THX stereo are superb! Go, Lincoln!

I purchased this after decent evaluation and test driving 18 other midsize crossover models. Boy - what a weekend that was...Phew!! I test drove Lincoln MKc twice - both the 2.0 and 2.3L version. The ride was amazing. So smooth - so elegant and luxurious. Definitely won my heart and purchased it. The customer care at my dealership was amazing and I should give the 5+ start for that. Very helpful and patient. The ride remained smooth only for a month or so and the rattling and vibration, road noise started slowly filtering in. If I am parked and talking on my Bluetooth - it can easily heard from outside - no privacy. My music is also heard as if the windows are open. Same with the wind noise the air tight noise control lasted a limited time. I have 50K + miles on my odometer and the highway mileage is 90% of it and still my avg mpg is 20.3. And I do no drive on traffic highways or rush hours times. The roof material tucked into the door on the drivers side ias already out of the tucking and looks so trashy - happened with few months of purchase. Sure the car is amazing on test drives and even when you maintain it well and treat it gently and drive mostly highways the roughness and brittle start showing fast. The quality is the issue. The other thing that really bather me the bother me the fact the pick up - I am definitely OK is slow pick for a 4 cylinder, but the ecoboost - it just jerks your head if you accelerate really slow during stop and go traffic(thankfully not request for)

Great Luxury Crosssover for the price

3 of 3 people found this review helpful

The supposedly outstanding customer service and overall "Black Label" experience is horrendously overrated, but the interior aesthetics of the vehicle options and bettter resale value make it almost worth it. There is room for improvement in the seat controls and lumbar support, but otherwise it is the most comfortable car I have ever had for long trips. It was also better than every other luxury car I test drove at cancelling out noise from the outside. MPG is not as great as it could be, and some of the interior finishes are made of junky plastic that can break or scratch easily, the storage compartment that exists in lieu of a traditional shift gear is poorly designed for ideal use, and it is easy to inadvertently hit the shift gear buttons---luckily my dogs can't reach the break pedal at the same time to shift from park, but they do often turn on the hazard lights if I leave them alone!

I was shopping for a used late model Audi Q5 but didnt want the black leather interior, which eliminates about 80% of the Q5s on the road. We went to five different Audi dealers when we found used models with low miles and light colored interiors, and all five times we found out someone beat us to the purchase. Meanwhile, we had driven the MKC and really liked it, but had our hearts set on the Audi. After the 5th time of getting the door slammed in our face, we circled back to the MKC and bought it, it was a dealer demo model with the Reserve trim and all the bells and whistles. I'm so glad we bought the MKC. Performance wise, its very similar to the Q5, but it costs less and has more features. I particularly like the way the SYNC3 system works so flawlessly. I also like some of the "little touches" Lincoln added such as the illuminated welcome mat at night, the speedometer showing a small icon with the posted speed limit on it, and the multiple ports for device connectivity (which the Audi didn't offer). The MKC looks great inside and out, is quiet and smooth behind the wheel, and our limited dealership experiences have been terrific. Do yourself a favor and test drive this car before you buy an SUV from Audi, Acura, Volvo or BMW.

Lincoln's MKC mediocrity masked in mediocrity

I leased this car for 3 years and on looking back I feel its money wasted. Lincoln's so called premium product is very ordinary. The doors were misaligned by almost 5" , windows didnt close properly and the door handle was not properly secured to the door. There were loose screws everywhere and 1 week after taking it home the rattle was unbearable. Then came the gear shifter, they changed the sequence for safety reasons for which I had to take it back to the dealership. The mechanic didnt know how to change it as he wasnt trained, so i had to wait 2 weeks before i got the car back. Once back the a/c stopped working and it took another 2 weeks to get that fixed. In my 3 years of driving this car there were 5 recalls, none of which the dealer informed me about. Everytime I asked they said there werent any parts or the recall wasnt serious enough. Final straw against EVER buying another Lincoln was the transmission, after year #2 it would jerk, stop and go and painfully you could feel the teeth meshing and shifting into gear. I informed the dealer of this and they quickly brushed it aside. The leather was plush, the instrumentation top class but the rear seat was a torture to get in and get out of. I wont buy another Lincoln ever again. For the same price you can get a Lexus or Acura, there is no way the MKC even comes close to competing with top class luxury.

I have only had the MKC for 3 months. I love the the dark brown interior, especially for transporting 3 dogs periodically and a grandchild. It takes time to get used to the foot tailgate opening. When choosing to call someone on the screen if you don't prop your hand at the bottom you will accidentally hit the parking assist button.

If you plan on getting the Nav system understand it is out of date by at least a year or more and there is a 3 year or more gap in the updates. Have had the car a week and 2 places could not be found 1 place was closed over a year and the school my son is enrolled in could not be found ( open since 1973 ). Contacted the Dealership and was told this chip was from 2014 and no update until 2017. Was told to look up the address on my computer or phone then input it into the Nav system. This is the best Lincoln can do, maybe this is why most people are buying other brands I know my next one will not be a Ford / Lincoln!

My father was a Ford employee, so my dealer knows I can have the "Z" Plan price, and they are very accommodating. I was looking for front-seat comfort for my wife, and when I sat in the MKC, I knew I had found something she needed to see. She loved it! I've got 20K miles on it now, and it is the best car I've ever owned. The only issue I had was that this car sat on the lot for about 13 months, and the tires were "flat" from not being driven very much. I got such a great trade-in deal that I didn't mind taking those tires, and after 3K miles they rounded out and I've very satisfied. My wife has trouble staying awake in the passenger seat when we take long trips. What more can I say? I'd buy another one, for sure.

I sell Fords for a living we don't have the Lincoln franchise where I work when I knew that the Lincoln MKC was coming I knew I wanted one. I came from a 2013 Ford Escape SEL leather heated seats etc. with the 1.6 engine front wheel drive. That vehicle was wonderful and enjoyed it very much. I wanted to have a little bit of bling in my life, so when my lease was up I went over to the Lincoln store and leased a MKC front wheel drive with the 2.0 engine. All I can say is WOW! leather heated seats, (and the seats are super comfortable), the new SYNC 3 is great user friendly,& remote start a big plus and it even comes in the base Model Lincoln. I live in Minnesota and went with the front wheel drive again. This vehicle rides nice and smooth, very quiet inside the cabin, heats up very well nice and toasty inside the vehicle. It must be do to the bigger engine going from a 1.6 eco boost to a 2.0 eco boost. Only Ford and Lincoln offer the eco boost engines another one of their trade marks fun and zippy and great fuel economy. I love the remote start, the head lights are bright at night another WOW factor, sync 3 the sound quality when making a hands free calls the clarity is outstanding, the seats are super comfortable. You never have to reach for your keys walk up to the door the vehicle knows you are approaching it and on the ground is the puddle light with the big Lincoln logo greeting upon entering your vehicle glowing at night time. Price point this starts where the Ford Escape Titanium ends. Fords do make Lincolns and this is their premier line up in addition to the Ford family. I love it so much I have had it for less than a week and have already put 170 miles on it. I could go on and on about how great of a vehicle this is from the ride, to the features to the comfort. I have gotten many compliments on the MKC the girls in our dealership office all want one.

Purchased MKC Sat. 3/7. Big mistake. Spent more time on the phone with Lincoln than driving. Top of the line, every option available model. 1) Sirius said I don't have the 6 month trial period, Lincoln set up system wrong, had to pay for the first year immediately; 2) Sync Service wouldn't work, dealt for 3 hours with Lincoln on the phone to do all sorts of things to get the system to work correctly, 3)Lincoln phone app won't work, after 4 days still wants "in car confirmation" that I am the owner of the phone/car...their engineers are looking into it and should have an answer in 1 week. What a Joke! Do Not Buy this Car! My 2014 Buick Lacrosse was flawless. This is far from luxury!

I really love the size of the MKC, makes driving enjoyable, steering wheel can actually be electrically positioned to where I like it, unlike other vehicles I have driven. The 285hp 2.3 Turbo is a great engine. The adjustable suspension is usually set on Comfort which is necessary on Illinois roads, and rides much better than the late model Ford Escape, or other cars I have rented. Compared to the 2018 Q5 I recently rented, there is no comparison. The Q5's terrible driver controls and hesitation of the engine, the lack of touch screen, and pathetic door locking procedures, shouldn't allow it to be in same class as the Lincoln MKC.
