2015 Lincoln MKC for my parents. yes or no?

[smug]

My parents are looking at this 2015 MKC to replace the high mileage Fusion and move the Fusion to spare car status. I just do not know anything about these little SUVs any my parents keep cars until they die. Does any one have any knowledge on a Lincoln MKC? I know that it shares a lot of stuff with the Ford Escape and that is about all I know. This particular MKC is a 2015 with under 15,000 miles, 2.3L EcoBoost, AWD, power everything, LED lights every where, Pano roof, park assist, heat and AC on the front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel. Seems very well optioned out. Thoughts?

Solid little SUV and pretty peppy too...2.3L gtdi is solid.

I can't speak to its reliability but I liked the SUV's drivability and interior a lot when I reviewed it at launch. I didn't think there was a substantial enough difference between the base and upper engine to warrant the cost new but used is of course different. Always have to be cautious with first model year introductions and redesigns. Still hate the push button gear selector.

The push button gear selector is a bit strange but I could get used to it if it was my car. I was just looking at the car again for any previous body work and I could not find any. That's a plus. I also noticed it has sensors on the lower control arms for adaptive suspension

I had a mkc as a rental for a week or so. Liked it a lot.

The push button transmission was funky to get used to.

We rarely ever see them in the shop...If there is one thing I can say is that they are built for quiet and comfort cuz taking anything in the interior apart is a pain in the ass.

Funny you say quiet and comfort. My mom kept saying that these door feel so much heavier then the Escape. Makes the Escape feel like a tin can lol. Well mom, it is a Lincoln.

Noticable difference between the 2.0 and 2.3. Wouldn't consider one without the 2.3. Solid SUV, but no rear leg room to speak of. Looked at one for my wife. We are a Lincoln family though, my wife has an MKX and I have an MKZ.

Fit and finish is great on the MKC, loaded up they have some great features.

My uncle has one in florida. Drove it when I was down there and liked it. I wouldn't spend the money on one but It was really nice for what it is.

My parents bought the car today and the dealer lowered the price even further out the door was $26,500. They deserve a nice car.

 

[SloTBSS]

That's a good price... Lincolns are nice

Looks like the select trim on it?

I want to say it is a Reserve package with climate package, tech package, pano vista roof, 2.3L EcoBoost, AWD.

It has heated front and rear seats, cooled front seats, heated steering wheel, navi, blind spot monitor, remote start, power fold mirrors, front and rear park sensors, parallel park pull out, automatic high beams, ambient light package, adaptive cruise, lane departure with active steering, and more.

I wish it had the bigger wheels but oh well.

fuck. that for 26k. fuck. that's awesome.

 

[RICH17]

Looks really nice.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Nice buy. You get a shit load of car for the money buying used Lincolns!

Nothing else would come close to the options at that price point for a small SUV.
