  • I Love My MKC. - 2017 Lincoln MKC
    By -

    I have the 2017 MKC Reserve. I have never been more pleased with a vehicle. As far as safety, it is incomparable. The blind spot alerts and lane drifting alarm (steering wheel vibration) is great. The interior with the wood trim is very well done, you certainly get your moneys worth. The ride is smooth and quiet and it handles fantastic. I can open the tailgate by waiving my foot underneath it lol, so that works great when your hands are full. I love this car.

    I especially love how it handles.

  • I LOVE it - 2017 Lincoln MKC

    We purchased a 2017 MKC in July and we LOVE it. We have the 2.0 engine, which provides great acceleration and good fuel economy (21.1 mpg). The interior is totally quiet and interior touches like the real wood trim, leather seats, and the stitching on the steering wheel and dash add to the elegant feel. The touch screen is convenient and very easy to use without having to refer to the owners manual all the time. I can even choose the type of ride - sport, normal, or comfort (my favorite). The doors have a nice solid feel when you close them and the vehicle just looks and rides very classy.

  • Worst car ever - 2017 Lincoln MKC
    By -

    I cannot wait until I get rid of this car. It is very uncomfortable. The back seat has such a small amount of leg room, that adults cannot sit comfortably in the back. My babys car seat will barely fit! The hatch back will not lift manually after 15 months. The engine noise is much louder than my old mix. The controls are not very user friendly. The design has become old looking very quickly. Very disappointed in this Lincoln model.

  • Lincoln is a great luxuary vehicle - 2017 Lincoln MKC
    By -

    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.

  • Blows away the BMW X3 - 2017 Lincoln MKC

    I drove and priced BMW,MB, Lexus and more. I was about to buy the X3 when I took the MKC for a spin. OMG - love this SUV beyond comfort and great ride.

  • A Good Alternative to German and Japanese Models - 2017 Lincoln MKC
    By -

    Coming out of an Audi Q5, the MKC is a pleasant surprise. Professional reviews of it have been mixed. While some of the criticisms are valid, most are not. On the plus side, the interior materials are every bit as good as the Germans and Japanese. MKCs leather is superior to the Q5s base leather. If anything is lacking inside, its not the materials, its the aesthetic design. Lincoln needs to get a bit more creative in that regard to match the Europeans. Im not crazy about the center stack design, though its better in person that in pics. The exterior design is best in class except arguably the Macan in my opinion. Many reviews claim the MKC is slow compared to competitors, but it certainly doesnt feel it. My 2.0 MKC feels just as fast as my Q5 2.0 did. Ultimately, the MKC is let down by its downmarket 6 speed transmission, which results in acceleration and mileage disadvantages compared to the 7, 8, and 9 speeds common in the class (RSX & NX still make due with 6 speeds as well). A transmission with 2 more gears would even up the score. The AWD model will pull .83g on a skidpad. Thats right there with the Benzs .83g & Audis .85g, so handling is competitive. If you want a small SUV that drives like a sports car, the BMX X3 or Porsche Macan are for you. Most people dont need that though. The features for the money is incredible. On the minus side, the backseat is uninhabitable by anyone with legs if youre sitting behind a 6 footer like me. Lincoln has to do a better job on the packaging. Also the driver left footrest is oddly shaped and not big enough for someone with larger feet. The view out the back is also not so great, but thats common in these newer designs with higher beltlines. Lastly, the optional 2.3 engine didnt feel any quicker than the 2.0, making it not worth its $1k cost in my opinion. Other than the tight rear seat, these are minor quibbles. Try to option up a X5, Q5 or GLC similarly to a Reserve MKC and youll spend about $6k more - same goes for the Black Label. One could argue these German vehicles are better - but certainly none are $6k better. And some of them dont offer all the tech the MKC has at any price. The RSX is blah and soulless, the Macan and Evoque are horribly overpriced, and the NX is just plain ugly with underwhelming equipment options. That all adds up to Lincoln having a credible competitor in this class. Final thought for all those complaining about poor mileage. New cars typically have poor mileage during the engine break in period - especially turbo engines. Itll get better after the first few hundred miles.

  • Perfect Except for Mileage - 2017 Lincoln MKC
    By -

    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.

  • Dont buy a MKC Black Label - 2017 Lincoln MKC

    SYNC doesnt work with our iphones, back seat area has NO leg room at all, having all kinds of issues, worst car I have ever bought.
