Car was a lemon from the start.

Car was a lemon from the start. The noise damper on the bottom of the car ( made out of carboard) fell off few times after hitting debris on the freeway. The engine light came on right after the warranty was over. In an out of the mechanic for engine light check. Spark plugs, gear, computer. Last time we had the engine light on they told us we needed to replace the engine at 58000 miles. We had the car for 8 years, drove an average of 7,000 miles a year. We sold the car. Car was an issue and a money pit. Don't buy it.

Rides better than a cadillac

I at first loved my Lincoln a couple weeks after I owned it the engine blew and ford had my car for so long the tires flat spotted and they thought it was fine for me To drive around like that Lincoln replaced the engine and it doesn’t run the same as when I test drove it I had to take it to Lincoln in Columbia to fix all the little things that followed after the engine replacement if I didn’t have all these problems I would’ve been in love with this car I love the look and I think it’s comfortable my mom says it rides better than her Cadillac so there you go

I love my Lincoln MKC. Very reliable SUV

I've owned my Lincoln for almost 3 years. My Lincoln has never failed me. My Lincoln moved us from Colorado to S.Carolina pulling a 5x8 cargo trailer. My Lincoln was a champ we were dodging hurricane weather so we hit flooded areas. I would definitely tell you the Lincoln MKC is a great all around SUV.

Worse experience ever

Known issue with coolant leaking into cylinder 2 causing car to misfire. Should have been a national recall in my opinion, but it was not. If car isn't still cover by power tran warranty, potentially have car with bad engine that needs to replace

Love my Lincoln

I have owned my 2017 MKC since July of 2016. I have had no issues with it at all and I loved the style from the beginning. My next car will be a Lincoln Corsair probably in 2025. My MKC only has 29,000 miles on it!!

Can't beat a Lincoln.

I have owned my Mkc for over 4yrs and the car has been great! It's quiet, comfortable when I make my 3hr trips back and forth from Chicago. Even with the 2.0 engine, she has power to take off and pass anyone I need to. For anyone that complains about oversteer or understeer, check your alignment since I have never experienced that problem driving aggressively. Comfort! Don't understand a complaint there. My brother has a Cadillac Xts and is the most uncomfortable car to sit in. My Mkc rides smooth in comfort mode, is quiet and she is babies and have only had a waterpump go out on me and that is it. All dash controls are easy to navigate and operate but I have always owned Lincolns my entire life and I am 62 and there is a reason for it! Comfortable and problem free. I just don't understand negative comments.

This is an excellent overall small SUV

I bought this new. Only problem has been I insignificant—charging port in console is faulty. It’s one of the nicest vehicles I’ve owned, and I have several Porsches. Everything seems to work well, it’s fast-with the 2.0 liter turbo engine. I don’t like the torque steer though but you can get used to it. I put the pedal down hard a lot so it was strange at first. If you’re very fat you might find it tight. I’ve got 50,000 miles on it and it functions as new. And it hasn’t cost the thousands you need to support a German car. In fact, virtually nothing except repairing whatever body damage my wife does to it. I even put a hitch on it and use it when a trucks not available - it can handle big loads of mulch, etc easily. This is a surprisingly good vehicle.

Piece of Junk

Just rented one of these and have to say it's a piece of junk. The infotainment system is a joke. Voice recognition utterly worthless. Navigation system confused. Design of where the controls are places and how they are operated must have been developed by engineers on methamphetamine. It's clear why the model lasted only a couple years

,,,,,,Way Better than Better!,,,,simply the Best!

I've been a "Ford/Lincoln/Mercury" man All of my Life!, my Pop worked at the Oakville plant for 30+ yr's, and I just wish He was still around to See this little Gem!,. this Car is Everything you could ask for,,,,,and More! The Ride is awesome, the Performance is Second to None!, I have the 'Reserve' package, and the 2.3 litre Turbo Snaps your Head back like you were Driving a "Muscle" car!,. it reminds me of my very 1'st Ride,,,,a '73 Mercury Comet GT w/ a BOSS 302 under the Hood!, well the MkC holds it's own in the Speed dept,.! my Comet did 0-60 in 5.5 sec,.!, the MkC does it in just under 6 sec,. 5.85 to be exact!,,,,and it does it in Style!, and s-o-o Smooth, you wouldn't even think you were Stepping down on the Gas!,,,I've already been handed a Speeding ticket for doing 140km in a 100 zone!, because it was so Damned quiet, it actually Shocked me when the Trooper said "Do You Know How Fast You Were Going there Sport"??, LoL!,,,and then there's the Handling!, the MkC is like driving an Audi Quattro w/ a BOSS 302 under the Hood!,,,,,Want to experience that same kind of Rush you had driving like when you were in your 20's? driving a "Sports Car"?,,,,take off the Traction-Control, and Go and Find the Best Hair-pin Cornering Road near You!, and try and Push the Car to it's limit!,,,,,You'll be Exhilarated!
