This a forum dudes...dont make it complicated! Car? Total junk. A Ford Escape with a nice technology package. Mini SUV, rough ride, Vibration and compact feel. Regret, mistake at 900 miles. If you guys love this car pass me what you a smoking! This is a Lincoln? Really? Its a Ford Escape. I made the mistake and dropped 34K on this POS. Can any of you HONESTLY say this rides and feels like a Lincoln? My back is still hurting 15 minutes after I got done driving it home. lol Considering this car? Buy a Honda CRV. Bigger and much nicer ride. Save 5 k.

adjust the ride setting to comfort. side note: CRV's engine has a design flaw that allows gas to get into the crankcase (oil) and that ruins the engine.

Like Buckeye suggested - changing the ride setting to comfort does help. I do understand that if you are used to a bigger vehicle, then the ride here is not really comparable. My previous Edge rode smoother because of the mass of the vehicle and the suspension setup. The Edge also had seats that were the reason I gave the vehicle back at lease end. They make the Edge seats (or at least they did on the 16 models) with recycled foam material. After 36 months I could feel the steel under structure digging into my hamstrings on longer (and sometimes shorter) trips. That thing had a lot going for it - including the fun to drive factor (I had the sport) - but the seats killed the deal. Lots of vehicles have compromises or known issues in one place or another.

If you are really that unhappy - consider getting rid of it. Yes I know you'll be upside down - life is too short to be that unhappy.

Sounds like that 14 minute test drive was not enough.

If it sounds like a troll, if it smells like a troll, if it looks like a troll, it is a troll.
You probably don't even have a drivers license.

LMAO. Honda CRV? That is the biggest joke I've read. Yes, the MKC is based on the Escape, but it's far from the Escape. My brother in law has a newer CRV. Our MKC 2.3 Reserve rides better , is quieter, has MUCH more power, has a better stereo (THX), infotainment is better and the seats are much more comfortable. I won't even get into the aesthetics of the it. The CRV has a bigger back seat and storage area. After that, the MKC wins hands down.

As mentioned earlier, the CRV's 1.5 Turbo has be plagued with oil consumption issues and fuel dilution problems.

If you spent 34K, you're comparing a base model MKC (probably FWD), which doesn't have the Adjustable Suspension.

This is my second MKC. I had two Mazda CX-5s and this car is so smooth compared to them. Sorry you're not happy, but I definitely don't think it's an Escape. Better luck next time.

Josh Redmond, You are right it is just a Escape with extra tech. That tech includes dynamic ride control, Premium Leather (I did not think I would notice "bridge of weir" leather but it is amazing) better engine options (base engine is premium for the escape) and I could continue for a long time. The ford escape is a perfectly good car, why buy a Lincoln? Because you appreciate these extra appointments.

 

[blankster]

Look at any Ford then look at the comparable Lincoln. Lincoln wins hands down.

A Honda CR-V is far and away better than a Lincoln. Lincoln's are built like garbage. You can walk into any mechanics garage and just ask. Hondas on the other hand are built with quality and will last many many more miles without any problems compared to a Lincoln. A 5 second Google search will show you that. If your sold by leather seats a little more power and a few bells and whistles you will probably will never use past the first 6 months then you deserve the hink of junk you spent 40k on. I can wrap a pile of dog crap in a ribbon and charge you big dollars for it too.. but hey it's still a pile of crap. Enjoy your many trips to the stealership for repairs for the life of the car.

OK, I'll bite. Does walking into any mechanic on the internet count? If so, your wrong. BTW, what ever happen to the OP after his one and only 'thought provoking' post in nearly two years?

Unfortunately you see a few people come on here and do this @Roche . They had a bad day and a machine broke down on them 😪 and they need to vent. But you’re so right, they are usually a one post and gone. The great news is the Honda dealership will take your money just like a Lincoln dealership will. Personally I wouldn’t set foot in a Honda I prefer the comfort of this car, but to each his own.

To the original post: Sorry for the issues that you are having, however, I have owned many cars over my lifetime and I can say that my 2017 MKC (still less than 30,000 miles), is by far the best car that I have ever owned. When it comes time to purchase a new car (not for a few years), I will be looking at Lincoln once again.
