so i was 9 years old when I first noticed this car ever since then i loved it the look of it the interior everything! fast forward some years and i was 16 looking for my first car i wanted something with v8 speed,wood grain,and nice black leather so that's what i got i bought a 02 ls v8 from a lawyer in ATL with 107xxx and drove it back to Florida where i lived. on the way home a coil went out causing it to misfire a little which was a eazy cheap repair but it was caused by the gasket letting oil into the coils causing them to foul out after that it was all good untill i hit 139xxx ...engine threw a rod and now im out of a car with no resale value

I purchased my car 2 months ago with 80,000 miles on it. The day after I got it, it wouldn't crank. I thought it was the battery. I got a jump and it worked with no problem. It did the same thing the very next day. I tried to get a jump but it wouldn't start. Found out the alternator was bad. I got that fixed. So now I'm noticing that sometimes when I put in in drive, it takes a while to shift and move. I don't know what's going on. I don't know anything about cars but that seems like something dealing with the transmission. After reading some of the other reviews, I'm starting to get worried.

Fun Car but TERRIBLE Build Quality

How are there not more negative reviews? I owned this car until it was 8 years old and sold it. Right around the 80-90K mark, the Transmission gave out. I parked it for several months looking into the problem and found dozens of forums out there with hundreds of people reporting the same problems as mine: loss of 2nd gear and overdrive. I talked to many mechanics and they all had seen plenty of these cars come in because of a poor design by Ford, Lincoln, Mercury. These transmissions were used in the LS, Aviator, Mustang, and several others. The design is 2 servo pistons (steel) that go through the Transmission case which is soft Aluminum. Over time the opening gets bigger, losing 2 gears.

outrages repairs!!

This is truly an amazing car! I have yet to discover a flaw. My LS V8 has everything I could ask for and so much more. It's never given me problems and always gets me plenty of compliments. The look of the car is so classy and elegant. This car is a blast to drive, it's so quick and feels very sporty and luxurious. Why anyone would drive anything else baffles me. This car is perfect. I've driven many luxury cars and nothing compares! This car impresses everyone that sees it. Since I've had mine I have had at least 10 friends buy them because they envied mine. The Jones's wish they could keep up with me!

The 2003 Lincoln LS V8 Sport is a very unreliable vehicle. A few days after I took the car home from the dealer 11/2009, all coils had to be replaced. Obviously free of charge since the car was covered under the NY Lemon law. I drove it for almost a year up 10/2010 when the coils appear to have failed again: the car is at a garage right now. I did manage to get 26,000 miles out of the last replacement. Otherwise I have the following issues with this car: A) it was built for people approximately 5" tall: I get leg cramps driving long distance every day (I am 6" tall) and B) it's road handling is really all over the place and dangerous in adverse weather (rain, snow).

Might have been good when new.

I purchased my LS in June of 2009 for $7,000. I am going to give it to the local vo-tech because it has almost no trade in value and I can't imagine what private individual this car would be good for. Almost every month I have owned this car, I have had to repair something electronic. There are more $500 - $1000 gizmos on this thing than you can imagine. I had hoped that I was getting them all repaired and wouldn't have any more problems but I am starting to replace some things a second time. This car is extremely complex. Some of the parts are designed by Jaguar. When luxury features fail, you don't just lose the feature, you lose basic functions.

I bought the car with 23000 miles on it. After I had the car six weeks, it was in the shop. I had to replace a coil package...$800. I was told my warranty would not cover it?? I have replaced oxygen sensors (twice), ignition coils, and wheel bearings. The check engine light STAYS ON as well as the ABS light. It is now currently in the shop for ETC FAIL SAFE MODE. I will NEVER buy another Ford product!!!!!!

I just bought a Lincoln LS 2003 V8 and man does it drink da gas. Im using 93 octane and can only afford to drive around da block. I want to put 20" inch wheels on it but I don't even know if I am going to have it this long cause I can't afford da gas. Please tell me if any one is having the same problems. I've drove V8's before but this is a bit crazy over 3 days I spent almost 100 bucks in gas and only went around the corner. Yea its nice inside but the sits are not right for me I am 6'4 and it seems like it was built for 5'8 person.

Yes, this car was built to compete with the European sport luxury sedans, and not only complete, they topped them! If not for the transmission it would have been top rated overall but slipped a bit as it's not so great at low rpms. But it is one of the smoothest transmissions you will operate and on the highway it shines! Great power @ upper speeds too! This car is rated as one of the TOP 5 safest cars of ALL TIME! I love it's understated elegance and the engineers put some work with the all aluminum fenders and hood and putting the battery in the trunk to acheive a 50-50 weight balance and is one of the reasons for the superior handling. The alum. J-8 eng. is sweet! The Jaguar platform too!

I also made the mistake of buying this car and had continuous problems from the brakes to the a/c unit. My car stayed in the shop, and I was told it would be replaced because of so many problems. The car was never replaced. So I was stuck with some problems never being fixed and some additional problems later. Parts coming loose was devastating. I will never buy another Ford or Lincoln from this experience. My automatic lights are not working properly at this time among some other things.

This is my dream car. The ride is smooth, the performance beyond expectation, the feeling of grandeur as you weave in and out of traffic. The sound quality, the look of the vehicle itself also tend to relax the mood when driving under stressful conditions. This baby has definitely become mama's new toy.

As an Industrial Designer the styling of the LS was a big plus. The rear wheel drive handling was refreshing as was the V8 power. There have been no maintenance issues in the three years an 35+ thousand miles I've driven it. The only drawback is the somewhat limited legroom in the back seat.

Almost bought a 2002 model, but this is a big improvement, I have the Sport model with power sunroof, and stability control. So much power, lots of room and very conservative styling, this car is not as flashy as the Jaguar it shares architecture with, but appears much more muscular and aggressive. The silver on black combination I have is beautiful and the cooled seats are awesome! The local dealer is very helpful and their service is reasonably priced and professional. This car has been exceptionally reliable and feels very sturdy. I just love it!

i'm on my second LS and consider it one of the best all-around cars i've owned which include BMW's and do not hesitate recommending it to others. i've had only minor defects on the two i've owned both not requiring special trips into dealership. highly recommend both as new or buying as used.

my wife was looking to buy a slightly used BMW 740. We test drove the vehicle and found the LS to have more agility and extremely comfortable. The 740 with its sluggish performance and overly abundant seating was not practical for the extra 20K more for a USED Vehicle. Not to mention the horror stories one hears of with the electronics with German engineered cars.

Since I bought the car I had to have the front brake pads replaced, transmission fixed, back window fixed and recently the front hub barring, with only 35K miles. Before I had the brakes replaced they squealed and after the brakes were replaced they squealed and continue to squeal. My brake pedal itself makes a rubbery squeaky noise, which the dealer has told me there is nothing wrong. After taking it in about 5 times, they tell me that this is a common problem and known defect and there is nothing they can do about it. I would not recommend this car, especially if you do not want to have a car in the shop all the time. It is nice to have maintenance free car, but come on.

What a mistake!!

I bought this car after testing Jaguar, BMW and the CTS. First luxury car - hoped for 100-200K luxury trouble free miles - what a piece of junk!! Two transmission jobs, hauled twice on a flatbed to the dealer as would not start, brake problems - emergency brake sticking, headliner kept falling down around the top roof braking light - one problem after another - very, very disappointing. Dealer finally gave me an extended warranty for 70k miles - the car has been in the shop for over 7 weeks altogether - I will never buy another Ford or Lincoln product!!

Finally a good American Car

Have put 40000 miles on my LS in 2 years. It is great. Have only had to take it in to have the AC head unit replaced, and then just GTO (gas, tires and oil) for the rest. It still handles great, and i get about 20 MPG driving a mix of city and highway every day. Just a great car.

Best vehicle I've ever owned. I wanted to own this car since they first came out in 2000 but held off until now. With zero tolerances, now refined for the 280 hp v-8 it acts like a 350 hp car of the 60's. Very suprised that mpg delivers as advertised with such a powerful v-8. Every feature/option works as expected...no return yet to the dealer for any defect.

Never docile, and averages 20 mpg for mixed driving. Nice fit and finish inside as well as out. The perfect 50/50 front to rear balance almost makes you forget this is a rear wheel drive car, until you Shift to sport mode, and it becomes a GT Mustang! While rear leg room can get cramped, driver comfort is excellent. The heated and cooled front seats are nice. One of the best riding cars I have ever owned, and beats out the 5 series BMW I sold to get it.

I have owned three foreign cars before this great car. When looking for a sedan i looked at the BMW 540 and Infiniti G35, and the LS blew them all away. From handling, look, and dealer the LS is great. Now i enjoy driving to work everyday. The ride it solid and the power from the V8 is great. Just a nice all around car to own.

I love this car, even with a v-6 it hauls ass. It is also a chick magnet, everyone at work wants to take a ride in it. the only problens I have had are the transmission kicking really hard while down shifting from 2nd to 1st gear other than that this car is great all around. Oh one other thing it could use a air conditioner that gets colder quiker.

I went with the LS V6 for price reasons, and my only dissapointment is that I couldn't get the 17" rims with the 6-cylinder. I've driven previous models with the V6 and the improvements for 2003 are very evident. The throttle actuation is smooth and the power is sometimes surprising when accelerating from a stoplight. The engine gets a bit loud at higher RPMs, but is always smooth. The ride can feel a bit soft sometimes, but, never floaty, it always feels connected to the road. The suspension is well-damped and does a great job at dealing with bumps and imperfections. While it's not a hard-core sports sedan, it always stays planted in the curves.

I intended to buy a 4.2 Jaguar or a BMW 540 or 530 when I stumbled on the LS V8 Sports Model. What a find! This car compares very well with either in terms of performance, styling and surpasses them in comfort and value. Nimble, lots of power, and all the conveniences only an American luxury car can deliver. This car is a winner. Seats four comfortably, big trunk, THX sound system, right size.

Great car, I purchased a black on black and get tons of comments on the car-all positive. I love driving the car and it handles well; except it is missing front wheel drive and unfortunately I purchased the car on a winter that we received 12 plus inches of snow in one day and it does not handle well at all compared to the Taurus that I had in snow. It actually did well up to 6 inches of snow tho. The car runs so quiet folks don't even know that the engine is running.

Upon delivery headliner started to fall down in the rear and sunglass holder in roof fell down. Upon arriving home back doors would not unlock, had to crawl over front seats to exit auto. There are muffled noises coming from the passenger side dash and we have been told it may be caused by temp change, but they cannot find anything. Paid a premium price for what I thought was a luxury car but it hasn't lived up to the mark yet--I have my doubts that it ever will.

Lincolns have been a part of my family for many years but none are what this car is. It is truly a beautiful car inside and out. It's funny, people are always asking me what kind of car this is. When I take it to get washed, I get special treatment because this car really stands out. But it acts the part. I feel safe with the stability control ABS Brakes and powerful engine. It just goes to show that you don't have to spend lots of money and still get a truly great luxury car. This car is truly a legend!

This is one of the best if not THE best car I've ever driven. I traded my 2000 LS and cannot believe what I got. In every aspect this car excels. Don't be fooled by the low cost (arount 48,000) as compared to many similarly equiped luxury cars. It doesn't look cheap, drive cheap or handle cheap! Try one, I'm sure you'll agree!

This was the biggest waste of money I have ever spent on a auto. I have a 2000 with 60K miles and it is a piece of you know what. Paid $30K for it and I can't even get $9K for trade in. Please, please, don't make the same mistake as I did. No resale value at all. Brakes have been replaced at least 4 times and now it feels like the transmission is going out. Power window motors replaced twice. Windshield replaced three times due to cracks. NEVER AGAIN!!

I owned an early 2000 LS V8 and enjoyed the car so much, I ordered a 2003 model as soon as they were introduced. The LS does everything well. From outstanding acceleration to responsive handling, this car exudes poise and class. I should also mention that I bought a new 2002 Thunderbird -- the LS's kissing cousin.

The strong points of this car are its performance. Acceleration and handling are both excellent. This adds up to a very safe high performing car. If you drive freeway this car allows you to get on and through spaces in traffic without any effort. The car tracks very stable and predictably at all speeds through varying tightness and undulating turns. The interior is clean and logically laid out, good rear seat room nice view with theater seating, very good stereo and easy to use NAV system. 7000 miles and no issues. Dealer has performed oil change no charge, the 3 year 36000 mi free maintenance is a great bargain.

The LS is billed as a combination of luxury and performance and delivers both, especially performance. The V-8 is smooth and has plenty of power and torque, but the most impressive thing about the car is the handling. It's responsive, goes where you point it and corners like it's on rails -- a real thrill to drive! I considered earlier models, but the refinements in the 2003 model sold me. Lincoln obviously listened to owners. I have no regrets so far and would recommend the car. Test drive one and find yourself some curves!

We've had the car for a couple months now and its so much fun to drive. Our son drives a 97 Mustang GT manual and this LS could probably beat it in every driving category. The LS has "balance" that the GT just doesn't have. The real-wheel drive together with independent rear suspension really make a difference. Under "severe" conditions I always feel confident in the LS; where in the GT there are many times that I have to "back-off". Lincoln has done a good job in making the suspension, brakes, & wheels very light so that the car absorbs these bumps without transferring the force into the steering wheel or drivers seat.

This car has good power, great handling, and nice luxury features. I've only had it about a week, so I may not be qualified to rate it on reliability, but so far everything has been exactly what I expected. The buying experience was good, and the rebate and deal made this car several thousand less than the foreign competition. Travel well.

Smooth shifting tranny, ample torque let you slot into any hole in traffic -- easily. Slick NAV. VERY easy, nice ‘birds-eye’ view split-screen, voice prompts and voice commands. Impressive sound system. Quiet cabin. High winds don’t affect the car at all, at any speed. Excellent steering ‘feel’. You sense the road texture, but no harshness or vibration gets thru. Fingertip-light at parking lot speeds (a big thing for my wife, who has arthritis), but nicely firmer at speed. Seating position very comfortable. I'm 6', but had plenty of headroom, even with the moonroof, and with the seat adjusted high. Clean, elegant lines will age well.

This car has it all. Styling, performance, etc. The new 280 HP V8 is great. The Advance Trac has been improved. The heated & cooled seats have been very useful so far. Adjustable pedals add to an already great interior. The cabin is so unbelievably quiet. The ride is smooth and yet responsive. Gas mileage has been improved.

The Advancetrac, engine, (now 280 hp) ride, build quality, seats, adjustable pedals, wheels, appearance, everything has been upgraded! With the addition of the voice activated THX audio/navigation system you can be in your own "Heaven" in this car. Can't hear nothing but the R&B in this cabin! Need I say more!

The 03 LS is much improved the handling is superb, the Ride is perfect and the engine finally has the power it needed to cpmpete with BMW. I would have liked to purchase the THX system, but I did not want to waste my money on the NAV System. My fuel economy is about 12MPG if I can control my urges to bash the throttle the Mileage would be much better.

I never thought I would be a lincoln customer at the 'young' age of 26 but my mind was changed after I test drove a 2003 Lincon LS. Before my purchase I tested both the BMW 3 & 5 series and mercedes benz c class. The lincoln was the last test drive and by far my favorite. With 2300 miles on it so far I have not had one regret.

I have had my LS for 4 months and I really like the vehicle. It is a great ride and much better than my previous Volvo S80 T-6. I do wish that there was a little more leg room for the back seat passengers. This is a good looking vehicle that attracts attention. The wood trim on the interior really dresses up the dash and I like the feel of the steering wheel.

I bought my 2003 base model this spring and think its the best sports sedan I've ever owned. The handling is best of class . Lots of room for a car of its size. Only issue I have is that the engine noise on heavy acceleration is more than I would expect. I've driven it 3K with no quality issues at all.Plenty of room for taller persons

I'm a small business owner and expect the most value for every dollar I spend. After the minor problems I had with my first LS (2000), I swore I'd never buy another though over all, the car isn't that bad. Well lookie lookie! Here I am driving another one and I must say, I've been swept off my feet! Everything about this car is great. I feel safe and secure in this vehicle and it turns a lot of heads too! I call mine "Black Beauty!" I'm glad I picked Lincoln again! I swear I can see and feel all 500 improvements on this car! My husband gets nervous when I drive "His" car. Not because he thinks I'll damage it, he thinks I may NEVER come home!

Just took my 2003 LS home. I got home about one hour after I purchased it. Not because the dealer is far away, I just couldn't stop driving it! Much more fun and much better built than my 00 LS and I thought that one was great. I don't know why this car receives such lukewarm reviews. Could it be that those who give the reviews are BMW, CTS and Acura owners and don't want to admit you can get so much car at such a great price? Don't know don't care...Varoom!

I have had my LS for about a month now and have loved every minute of it so far. The as-received build quality was excellent. It is very quiet and solid - no rattles or squeaks. The V8 is strong, responsive and quiet. It has excellent power throughout the entire rev range. Handling is superb. The Advance Track system won't let you lose control, especially in rain and snow. Near 50/50 weight distribution. Anti-dive suspension. It is a lot of car for the money compared to BMW, Lexus, Infiniti and Mercedes. It has an excellent Navigation system and a THX certified stereo.

I just picked up my V8 premium sport so realiabilty is more based on the safety recall for imporperly heat treated wheels, and transmission that won't shift smootly into third after 1500 miles. To sum this car up in one easy statement. It Rides like a Lincoln and Handles like a BMW. There are still a few points that remind me that I am in an American, which is not a bad thing. For example, Great low end torgue, a super smooth ride, and lots of neat features, that don't overwhelm IE BMW's I drive.

I traded in my 2001 LS V8 for the new Premium Sport V8. Even though I loved my old LS, the new one blows it away! There is more room up front, it is much quieter, and I love the new heated and cooled seats. Interior finish is much nicer. So many little changes add up to a much better car. I even test drove a BMW 5 series, and like the LS for what you get for the money. I give it a big thumbs up...

It's sad that so much is spent on BMW 5 series, when the top of the line LSV8 premium sport with navigation is such a better value. I shopped BMWs extensively. To match what I bought (leased) ased on $42K ($47K MSRP) would have required the high 50s for a similarly-equipped BMW.

This past Saturday, I traded my 2001 LS for an '03 Premium Sport. As much as I liked my last car, I like the new one even more (much more!!). The car feels more solid, the interior materials feel (and look) much better and luxorious, the transmission shifts better (and faster), and the seats are much more supportive than those in my last car. This car is an absolute blast to drive!! Well Done, Lincoln!!

This is my second LS. I also own a 2000 LS V8 Sport. Lincoln engineers have made a great handling vehicle even better by improving the NVH properties of the 2003 model without sacrificing the solid, razor -sharp feel of this car. Most people don't appreciate the superior properties of the platform the LS is built on. I have every confidence that my 2003 LS will be as dependable and thrilling to drive as my 2000 has been.

This car was made for me. It has every possible feature and gadget that I'd ever wanted and it's just the right size, big trunk, seats four, folding seats, and an near perfect safety record. But its real strength is its handling and performance. Plenty of power (especially at highway speeds) and very controllable, neutral handling. Nothing upsets this car. The 2003's upgrades read like a list of the items that I wanted addressed when I drove the 2001. Lincoln has really created a great car.

I owned a 2000 Lincoln LS V8 and loved that car. In fact, I bought a 2002 T- Bird for my wife mainly because the new T-Bird is based on the LS platform. When I heard about the improvements on the 2003 LS (e.g., more power, THX audio, GPS navigation system), I was first in line at my Lincoln dealer and ordered a new 2003 LS in October, 2002. I took delivery on New Year's Eve and can confirm that my new LS is significantly better than my "old" LS. Responsiveness, steering precision, and ride comfort are all noticably improved. No "buyer's remorse" here!

Purchased a 2001 LS V8 Sport with almost all of the options. I have had non-stop problems with this car. Anywhere from non-start conditions (still happening after many repair attempts), leaking oil, suspension problems, fuel filter problems, many computer updates, radio replacements, etc. Poor quality after 27k miles my suspension is fading way too much. I take care of this vehicle and it simply is poor quality. Lincoln customer service is terrible for the class of this vehicle.

I hope that I can just save people from wasting their money of this car. It has been nothing but troubles since the beginning. By the second week that I had the car it was in the shop for almost a month. They then gave it back to us, still not working properly, and then went back in for repairs for another 3 weeks. I just cannot tell you all of the aggravation and stress that this car has caused me. It has been the WORST car that I have ever purchased. I can't wait to get rid of it - also, Lincoln has been miserable to deal with and very unhelpful!

The LS V8 is a very smooth riding car with power to get you out of those bad situations and the style and looks to get you into some good situations. The Alpine in dash 6 disc cd changer is wonderful with a pleasant sound and a climate control system that has dual zones for the front passengers is nice. The leather seats with power controls are comfy. All around it is a great car and I would recommend the purchase of an LS.

The Lincoln LS V8 in the sports pacakage is a potent little rocket, disguised as a family sedan. Under closer inspection, the big v8 under the hood shows its true colors. As with most American cars, build quality is of concern, but with the LS, it seems to be higher quality than makes from Chrysler and GM. In fact the interior is very German. The transmission is clunky at slower speeds, on the freeway, it's a different story, as this is the place where the LS stands it's own. The ability to maintain 80+ mph on mountain grades leaves many heads turned, in fact, 100, 120 would not be a problem for this car.
