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.

All that glitters is not gold!

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)

Not up to date!!!

If you plan on getting the Nav system understand it is out of date by at least a year or more and there is a 3 year or more gap in the updates.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!

AMAZING

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.

I always liked Matthew Mcconauthey. : )

In a nutshell, we bought this vehicle for my wife a couple months ago, so we don't have a long experience with it. But all the things listed above is what made us go with this vehicle. We were originally going to go with the new for 2014 Jeep Cherokee, but with all the problems owners were complaining about, especially with the new 9-speed transmission, I steered the wife away from it. We really linked the appearance and feel of the Limited, but I've had more than my share of problem vehicles and it was clear from the 5 for, 43 against, owner reviews that we should avoid that SUV like the plague. In the end, we feel in love with the Lincoln MKC and so far we have not regretted the purchase. It's amazingly smooth riding and quiet -- it's even better than my 2006 Mercedes E500 -- and yet very peppy. We wanted the 2.0L engine, but wound up with a loaded model which came with the 2.3L ecoboost. Interestingly enough, however, on a recent trip home from Williamsburg, VA we found we were getting 28 mph rather than the advertised 26 mph for the AWD model. What we really love about it is it's quite responsive and great on gas for a luxury SUV, but runs on regular, and I'm not talking 89, but 87 octane fuel. The dealer told is it's designed to use the regular 87 octane and to not be afraid to do so. Amazing and it uses considerably less fuel than my wife's previous vehicle, an Infinity G37 coupe, which ran on premium only.

love this vehicle, no regrets

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! This vehicle is worth every penny that I spent. It is a very good looking car, and holds itself quite nicely compared with 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 if 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.

Wow great car!

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.

Love my Lincoln

An amazing vehicle but a little pricey, but it's worth it!

Enjoyable compact luxury crossover

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.

What a mistake!

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 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!

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!

Shocked

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.

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.

A nice SUV, but not perfect.

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.

Fun to drive quality SUV

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.

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.
