Dear Lincoln-
I love my MKC- a very versatile CUV and truly modern competitive car in its segment. But please equip us early adopters and ambassadors of this car with one more small thing.
Many of us really would have considered a manual trans if it had been offered and our entire group of owners probably shifted cars early on. And later- I had a rare 5sp LS bought new in 2000, and my son just had to give it up only last year. I had a series of stick cars up until kids and minivans and it is time to get back.
Sure we understand that when we punch "S" our MKCs will shift a little crisper, and if that is all we do, it is fine. But when we pull the paddles, PLEASE give us an even sharper profile, we mean a gear IMMEDIATELY, not three heartbeats and too deep into a turn.
If we want to participate by shifting, the car should too. We have to beleive there is a software flash that can make this happen for our 2015's.
Sure would put my euro worshiping buddies on notice that Lincoln can get serious. The CCD is there. Make the gearbox match it.
