This car has a super sleek luxurious design with up-to-date futuristic features inside to make the driving experience the most comfortable and fun it can be.
I got my car in June of 2016 as a graduation present. I used it mostly for travel to and from work when I first received the car, however soon it was used to traveling to and from school at graduate school. I like the sleek design of the car, and the luxury features it has. I dislike the gas mileage, I wish it was a bit higher.

The very comfortable Lincoln ride is superb!
Very attractive. Really love the lincoln ride! Comfortable, smooth. Getting used to the 'buttons' used instead of usual gear shift takes a bit of time. Would love a heated steering wheel to be included. My only 'complaint is what seems to be a small gas tank!

It has a smooth ride and and has great gas mileage.
I love the looks of my vehicle, the technology, keyless start and code to open the door without keys. There isn't much to dislike it. Perhaps the cost

The comfort of my much Lincoln. Very comfortable and feels luxurious.
I love everything about my much Lincoln. It drives like a dream, easy to manipulate, good on gas mileage. It has plenty of room for passengers and the seats fold down to give you room to carry things in it as necessary sometimes. It has the big skylight in it so even the back seat riders can enjoy. It has self adjusting seats, heated and cooled, separate ac controls, USB outlets and also a 110 outlet. The leather seats make it comfortable also. It has rear view camera. I love everything about this vehicle.

Why you should buy a Lincoln MKC.
I love my Lincoln MKC. I will only buy Lincoln's from now on. This car is a quiet ride and so smooth. It has amazing features for your phone and it has a gorgeous body to it. I love the Lincoln embrace when it is dark outside and the logo pops up on the ground. All my friends are amazed by that feature.

Luxury daily driver, love this car!
Haven't had any issues with this car! Drives smoothly and runs quiet, perfect for my family of 3. The seats are comfortable and features feel very luxury. Storage space is plenty for our jogging stroller and when seats are folded we can get just about anything we need to into the back. Auto lift gate is great when your hands are full.

2017 Electrical Problems
I had the car for 2 years. I had to replace the battery. Brought an expensive battery for Advanced Auto, then that battery died. Brought another battery from Lincoln, and now the car is acting like the cables are connecting and disconnecting as if it is another bad battery. When I shake the connections, I hear a buzzing the comes and goes. Half the time its as if I don't have a battery connected. Very very annoying

Wish I had my Buick back!
Way too noisy. Control placement not intuitive. Seats not supportive. Sirius pales in comparison to XM. Gas mileage very disappointing. I wish I still had the Buick I traded in for this so-called 'premium' vehicle. Very bad decision on my part. Wasted a lot of money.
accountCircle Elizabeth M
I like the way the car handles when getting on the freeway.
The performance is solid, the gas mileage is not what it said it would be around town. So far the vehicle has been reliable and has not needed anything further than routine maintenance. I am not happy with the trunk/cargo space now that I have had it for a while and have used it for needing to travel.

Lincoln MKC 2017 review in depth.
Too small trunk and not enough leg room in back seat. Lack multi CD player and luminary light. Like safety features. Would like front camera. Like new sapphire color. Don't like can't change radio station on steering wheel like previous model. Also clock should be by odometer so do not take eyes off road.

Pros: comfortable. Easy to use. Good safety features. Cons: gas.
Love this car so much. Only drawback that I found with this car is that I had to keep filling up gas due to the small gas tank. I love the safety features of this car and it auto turns on headlights when I need it especially on road trips. I always felt comfortable in this car and the features are all really easy to use. Has a sports gear as well.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Julia H.

The 2017 Lincoln MKC is easy to drive, decent mileage (around 21 mpg, pretty good for a midsize car), nice luxury look, lots of amenities (heated seats/steering wheel, apple carplay, mood lighting), good size trunk.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Julia H.

I do not have many cons to my vehicle. The only things that come to mind is there is no cooled seats, no sunroof, and no foot controlled trunk opener. Another con is since it is a Lincoln, and not many exist in California, then it is more expensive to get it serviced.
