Great Value as a CPO purchase but having problems
For a used certified car it is a great value. I got the 2.3L which gives a little more punch. Gas milage is around 22 typical. Highway is 26-27. The Sync 3 system is great and the software can be updated to support Apple Carplay. The THX system is a disappointing. The bass is muddy and the sound settings cannot be accessed directly from the audio screen. You have to go back to settings main screen. Ride comfort is great and quiet. The ambient night time lighting are great. I have the a couple of problems. A dash rattle in cold weather, key phob problem opening the door, and rust has started in the door jams. Lincoln is taking care of the issues. Overall like the car over the Honda CRV and BMW X5. Great value if bought as a CPO. Update at 15 months- Known problem with lug nuts not warranted by Lincoln. They used cheap metal and the lug nuts swell so the lug wrench does not fit or does any socket. I had to replace them myself by hammering a socket on the lug to remove it. The cruise control has failed and is going into the shop next week. This is the first America car I have purchased in over 20 years and disappointed with the reliability. Electrical gremlins continue and rattles have started at 50K miles. I will be going back to Toyota if they fix their ugly grills otherwise it will be a Honda.

Amazing in a snowstorm
Got this by chance when snowstorm Helena hit the East Coast in January 2016 as a car rental. Put over 400 miles on it in four days. Drove from Raleigh to Lynchburg in very tricky weather with ice and heavy snow. This car was an amazing ride. My husband drove and is a trucker and knows how to drive in the weather, but this car handled well and had great grip in the road.

MKC is a keeper
Let me start by saying that I'm the type of person who owns her vehicles for a long time. I'm in my mid 30's, and have found the MKC very attractive from the moment I noticed them. I knew it was time for a replacement and I needed a small SUV. I began test driving SUVs about 4 months ago; from A to the Z. Cadillac SRx, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Infinity... but at the end of the day, there was something missing. I wasn't satisfied with the comfort, acceleration, or overall look of the vehicle. I was really running out of hope, when I decided to try the Lincoln MKC. The moment I sat on it and drove it off the lot for my first test drive, I was convinced this was the one. Not only it drove like I was on cloud 9, but the acceleration, features, gas mileage, comfort, and design were all combined in 1. It does not feel like I'm driving a 4 cylinder car; It feels like a regular V6. What an amazing feeling, to finally find everything you need in one vehicle. I couldn't be any happier with my purchase. My only complaint is the lack of leg room for the second row seat. Besides that, the vehicle is perfect in my opinion. I was even having a conversation with my fiancee discussing how my next vehicle will be another Lincoln.

Comfort and a fair price
The Lincoln MKC provides a quiet comfortable ride for daily drivers. I drive one hour each way to work daily and wanted a vehicle that provided good gas mileage, comfort, and most technology goodies. The MKC meet all of these needs. I would have liked it to have held its value a bit better, but I was happy in this vehicle.

Wife's new MKC Select
We considered many vehicles before buying the MKC. This is a very nice car for the money. I was looking for a dampening of road noise. Wife was looking for comfortable front seat, ease of access to features, and a fun drive. She got her wants. This car is very noisy for my likes! We owned 6 Lincolns in the past and quit the brand when Ford forgot to build luxury in. Thought we'd try again. We found great, knowledgeable, salespeople but, if I have a complaint, it is that their dealership does not reflect the "high end" ownership experience of a Mercedes or even an Audi dealership. Found this to be true at other Lincoln dealers we also visited, so must assume that it it the marque that does not recognize the value of a "high end" experience when you are trying represent your vehicle as an alternative to Mercedes, BMW, etc. UPDATE: one year and 6000 miles on - this vehicle is very noisy on the road for an expensive luxury car! My F 150 has less road noise. Dealer looked at it - said it was in specs. Had a local car upholstery shop add more insulation to doors and floor - BIG help. So why can THEY do it and Lincoln cannot? UPDATE 2: two years on 9500 miles - vehicle still too noisy for me - wife says it's OK (and it IS her car!) The fix by the local upholstery shop helped (You'd think Lincoln would have done this in the first place!). Gas mileage in town not so great for a 4 cyl., but it does jump when the turbo kicks in. UPDATE 3: three years on 15000 miles - vehicle still too noisy for me (my F 150 has less road noise) - Wife says it's OK (and it IS her car!) The fix by the local upholstery shop was a big help tho. Again- gas mileage in town not so great for a 4 cyl., but it does jump when the turbo kicks in. Overall combined mpg unimpressive. UPDATE 4: three years 7 months - with 22000 miles. Car seems to get noisier with age! Had some computer issues so dealer gave us a new 2020 Corsair as a loaner. Same car as ours with a few updates. Nice BUT nearly as noisy. Wife and daughter took a 1000 mile trip in our MKC just recently and NOW they are convinced that it IS too noisy. Will be shopping for a new car soon, but alas, NOT another Lincoln!
