Happy Lincoln MKC Owner
Only have had the car for a week. First Lincoln I have ever leased. Runs great, very smooth, quiet ride and great look. It is a real step up in all facts when compared with a Ford. Too new yet to say much more, but the more I drive it, the more I like it.

Perfect Except for Mileage
We love the car after 5 weeks, but the gas mileage is really poor. We are lucky if we get 17 combined. Its hard to believe that its this low. I drive a 2011 BMW 535Xi and drive it hard and get 23+. Lincoln needs to work on this for next versions. Other than this, would highly recommend the 2017 MKC.

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.

Great for Singles and Couples
This is a beautiful car with many popular tech features that would cost much more in other luxury compact SUVs. It is definitely not a family friendly vehicle or a vehicle for those who frequently transport back seat passengers, as the rear seating areas are extremely confining, especially for taller or larger passengers. I also do not recommend this vehicle for those who drive more than 10-12,000 miles a year because the gas mileage leaves a lot to be desired. That said, this is a very stylish car that a high level safety and comfort. As a heavyset man in my senior years with arthritis, my paramount concern is having a vehicle that I can in and out of easily without having to squeeze into the car, climb up, of get down to far into. This is just perfect in that respect for me. Another important feature for me personally is that the navigation system does not require me to have my smartphone on. I traded in my previous Toyota Camry because the Navigaton system required me to use my smartphone with a serious of apps installed, and also had to be connected with a USB cable if I wanted maps with my directions. To add insult to injury, the car salesman never told me this until I purchased the car. What's the point of spending thousand of dollars extra for a navigation system if I can't use it without my phone? I love my new 2018 Lincoln MKC, and I will never buy another vehicle except for one thing. I can't stand the new front grill on the 2019s. The "fishnet" design, as I call it, totally destroys the elegance and overall beauty of this stunning vehicle. Hopefully, in 5 years or so when I am ready to trade mine in for a new MKC, Lincoln will have come to their senses and at least offer an option for the grill design.

Good value, great ride
This vehicle is extremely small. No rear seat room, only comfortable for a small child (under age 7). The gas mileage is not good, feels like I’m visiting the gas station way too often. The ride is true Lincoln comfort, front seats are very comfortable. Location of gear on dash....terrible idea. Seems to be delay in switching to reverse.
