Another review of the 2015 Lincoln MKC popped up on the internet today, the latest one being posted by auto123.com. Here's the link:

It is generally a very positive review, with mention of "Lincoln hits one out of the park". However the author does take issue with a "too short" lower seat cushion length on the MKC's front seats. Here's a copy/paste of the specific criticism:
"A massive plus and minus throughout the drive were the seats. The seatbacks demonstrated comfort and support, ideal for holding the occupants in place during the assault on switchbacks. Unfortunately, the lower seat cushions are far too short for the average 5’9” man. They are, however, perfect for the average woman, which will most likely be the buyer of the MKC".
Hmm.. so the average-sized woman will most likely be the typical buyer of the MKC?! Interesting conclusion. It might follow then that the MKC's front seats were principally designed to best accommodate an average-sized woman rather than an average-sized man?
For those forum members who have already sat in and perhaps driven the MKC, what were your impressions of the lower seat cushion with regard to length? Sufficient or insufficient? If the lower seat cushion is indeed too short (for anyone who is 5'9" or taller) that could spell trouble for thigh/leg support and comfort, particularly on long trips. Is this a true issue?.. or is it a non-event /exaggeration?
