Definitely not my Grandpa's Lincoln!

This gem of an SUV caught my eye at the March car show. I owned an Acura RDX and was in the market for a new SUV. I was actually planning to buy another RDX, but the MKC on display in the Ford/Lincoln section begged a closer look. Lincoln offered a $75.00 gift card to schedule a test drive at a later date, so that's exactly what I did. I was sold on the Lincoln once I drove the model with the continuous dampening control drive system. I'll admit it took a little while to get past the "old fogey" label associated with Lincoln. Once I did, however, it became a matter of finding the right color combination in a Reserve trim level WITH the drive control system. Three months later, I bought my new MKC. It rides like a dream and is absolutely gorgeous, both inside and out. The only true annoyance is the lack of a real tire pressure monitoring system (you know, the one that tells you the tire pressure in each tire). The indicator light recently flashed a low tire pressure warning, but unlike my RDX (and recent Hyundai rental), that was all the information I got. No fun trying to locate my tire pressure gauge and figure out which tire had the problem IN THE DARK. Hopefully Ford will consider adding a true TPMS to its vehicles in the future.
