2017 Lincoln MKC Reserve 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
29 of 33 people found this review helpful
This gem of an SUV caught my eye at the March car show. I owned an Acura RDX and was in the market for a new SUV. I was actually planning to buy another RDX, but the MKC on display in the Ford/Lincoln section begged a closer look. Lincoln offered a $75.00 gift card to schedule a test drive at a later date, so that's exactly what I did. I was sold on the Lincoln once I drove the model with the continuous dampening control drive system. I'll admit it took a little while to get past the "old fogey" label associated with Lincoln. Once I did, however, it became a matter of finding the right color combination in a Reserve trim level WITH the drive control system. Three months later, I bought my new MKC. It rides like a dream and is absolutely gorgeous, both inside and out. The only true annoyance is the lack of a real tire pressure monitoring system (you know, the one that tells you the tire pressure in each tire). The indicator light recently flashed a low tire pressure warning, but unlike my RDX (and recent Hyundai rental), that was all the information I got. No fun trying to locate my tire pressure gauge and figure out which tire had the problem IN THE DARK. Hopefully Ford will consider adding a true TPMS to its vehicles in the future.

The luxury version of Ford is the Lincoln MKC and it does not disappoint! I was looking at the audi q5, the mercedes and the lexus. This car's interior is by far superior. It's beautiful inside as it is outside. It's dashboard is easy to figure out. The ride is amazingly smooth. I went for the 2.0 as I didn't need the turbo 2.3 effect to go to work every day. It really feels like a luxury car and meets my expectations. The dealership was very nice and the service that comes with this car is super convienant since I work all the time. It's the reserve AWD model and really is a nice and quiet drive. I just bought the car so I can't speak to it's maintenance, but let me tell you, it feels comfortable, leather is nice and the color is spot on with a luxurious feel. I love this car more than I ever thought I would considering I was looking at other luxury cars that were more pricer with less features. Try the lincoln before the others, it changed my mind when I sat in the car and gave it a test drive. The back seats and cargo is not the most comfortable for a larger family, but that is what the MKX is for if that is what you need. For my husband and I,this is a perfect car.

Updated review after hitting 80K miles. The check engine light came on at 78K. Got a free code reader check from Advance Auto showing a cylinder misfire and replaced spark plugs and ignition coils. It fixed the problem for a few days and then it also started leaking coolant (and overheating). After $900, and 4 trips to a local garage, I finally took it to the dealership - coolant was leaking into cylinder 1 and I need a new engine. Apparently, Ford has known about the coolant leaking into a cylinder for years now and hasn't fixed the issue. All their cars with the 2.0 EcoBoost (inline 4 turbo) engine are subject to this issue. There are at least 2 class action lawsuits against Ford about this. Also, my local dealer hasn't been helpful in getting me a rental or loaner car while it's been there for the past 2 days. Thank goodness my CPO extended warranty is good for 20K more miles and 4 more months. Updated review after driving 67K miles and 3 yr. The original factory warranty has expired but being CPO, I still have 1 yr or 33K miles left on that warranty. I still love all the nice features, great handling, ride, and mileage. I had an issue with the sunroof rattling and the dealership had to replace it and occasionally the driver's side blindspot light will come on with no traffic around and a totally clean car Other than that, no problems, and would definitely buy an MKC again. Updated review after driving 23+K miles in 1 yr of ownership: I moved to upstate NY shortly after purchasing the car last spring and absolutely LOVE the heated steering wheel & seats. The remote start (key fob and phone app) is a God-send : ) The AWD and a new set of Goodyear WeatherReady tires make navigating the snow a breeze (note: I don't live in a hilly area). I've also changed my mind about possibly moving to an MKX (name changed to Nautilus for 2020). The shorter wheelbase makes it fun to drive and the 2.0 Turbo has great low-end acceleration. When I brought it in for a service, the loaner I got was a 2020 Nautilus with AWD, 20" wheels and a V6. Compared with my MKC, it seemed sluggish in acceleration and had a lot more body lean when cornering. Don't get me wrong, the Nautilus is a luxury vehicle but I love the smaller version especially with the choice of Comfort mode gives it just as a smooth ride - very important for all the rough roads and potholes up here in the NE. BTW, I'm still waiting for my invite to go out for a beer with McConaughey, lol. Original review: I just bought a 2 yr old 2017 MKC reserve w/ 2.0, AWD, climate and technology packages. It's certified pre-owned and I was shocked when I learned that Lincoln automatically extends the comprehensive warranty from the typical 4yr / 50K mi to 6 yr / 100K mi. I love the buttery smooth & quiet ride and all the technology goodies. I also love the sleek lines and modern styling. I'm not sure why some say that the interior is not luxury. I have only 2 issues: 1) The seats take at least 5 min to heat up. The XT5 seats warm up in <2 min and the Mazda CX-5 in 30 sec (I rented both recently). 2) The small cargo space. Granted, I just traded in a Highlander that I drove for over 10 years and am going through a downsizing adjustment, the cargo area is a bit disappointing. I wish they had extended the rear a couple more inches to at least be similar in size to the Rav4 or CRV. But, now that I'm single and kids are not in the equation, I don't really need a Highlander-sized SUV. Having said that, I do wish they would have included more storage up front (change/chapstick/dental floss holder) & some side pockets on the console. In the back seat, it would have been nice to have a better fold down console and wider seat pockets on the back of the front seats. My Highlander had ones just wide and deep enough to completely conceal my 12" MacBook Air and the MKC's leave about 1/3 of it sticking out. I'll explore storage options on Amazon but may end up going with an MKX after it's all said and done if I can't get used to the smaller cargo area. However, I will definitely get a certified pre-owned vehicle from now own. As for my subjective rating, beyond the size/storage & slow seat warming (which I'd give it 3.5 stars), I absolutely love the vehicle and give the rest of it 4.9 stars. Overall, I give it 4.2 stars.

Comfortable, quiet ride, good visibility and easy handling best describe the MKC. This is my first Lincoln and I would definitely purchase another.

The Lincoln MKC has so many features that I did not realized until I owned the MKC. I would had to pay so much more on other luxury brands. The MKC is a great size, has stunning exterior and interior. It is quiet, smooth and performs very well. My wife and I are very happy with the Lincoln MKC.
