We bought this car used in 2011 while I was expecting our first child. I would not settle for a vehicle if safety was in question. The comfort and space were perfect for my back and belly! The driver side easy-exit seat was awesome! I felt safe riding home from the hospital with my new born daughter. In the time since we purchased it we have only had to do basic maintenance- oil changes, transmission fluid & air filter etc. Coming up on needing new tires. Apart from that I have had No Issues and it has been a blessing. Wish it handled better though. When my daughter is not with me I'd like a more exciting drive, but it might be best that it doesn't handle like a sports car...

This car is pretty nice. I bought it in 08 with 35,000mi. In 2010 I started having problems. Transmission went out. Somewhere around $2500 to fix. Shortly after I noticed small things were breaking. A/c vent breaking off, driver chair back broke off, traction control button fell off, eyeglass holder wont stay latched, side rear view mirrors wont adjust, fuel buttons broke... And soon after the rear differential jacked up on me. Thats another $1500 that I payed out of my pocket. If thats not bad enough, just last week on a road trip.... My shifter cable popped off, wrapped around the drive shaft, ripped of trans cover, ripped off sensors and more. Guess theyre not built to last.

Bought the LS Sport with V8 loaded when it was a year old from turned out to be disreputable Lincoln dealer in Gainsville,FL. After I got home noticed right front door slight different color shade than rest of car. Round and round with lying dealer, had to pay for repaint. Lincoln is the worst of dealers. In 4 times for door rattle, and never fixed. Door window failures, door lock replaced. Replaced 7 of 8 ignition coils, one at a time each visit, Lincoln would not fix all at once. Getting ready to trade it in with 97k, it has been a good friend. WILL NEVER BUY LINCOLN AGAIN. Looking at my FIRST import ever owned at age 62, Accura TL, can't fight the US made fight any longer, I surrender.

My used 2001 LS sold me on this model, so I purchased a 2004 LS in the summer of 2004. I was pleased then and am still pleased after 95000K. The handling is what sold me on this model Lincoln. On long trips using the cruise control net me about 400+ miles per tank. City driving is not so good. Lincoln need to bring this model back. Some factory warranties were still in effect after my regular warranty had expired. When the service department told me that it would be no cost, I was quite pleased. I have had no major problems and hope to drive this one until another one appear in the show windows.

I love this car, but it has some problems. The car is very jumpy and has very bad MPG. My transmission went out around 92000 miles my catalytic converter is messing up, the 6 disk cd changer has disk error every time i try to change cd's. My driver side back door doesnt lock by its self any more, but other than that the car is great. Its fun to drive has very good get up, very good sound system.

Purchased this one for about $12k off list at end of model year. Used 90% local and 10% highway driving, so the miles are only around 10k per year or so. Very good value for the money, even taking into account the depreciation factor since we got it so cheap. Black with a light camel interior shows no wear even after 5 years in the. W. Tx. Sun, and that's saying something since it's never spent a day under cover. Lincoln should have taken the rear doors out and kept this as a 2 door 'mark.' big mistake as the fwd that replaced it is just a corporate car... My family's had lincolns since the 60's, but Lincoln is clearly in trouble now. Very sad.

I have always owned Fords. Generally like 'em. Stepped up with this one and what a disappointment. Lincoln forgot to pay attention to detail. The transmission takes weeks to downshift so the V-8 power is squandered. The "automatic rain sensitive" wipers are a constant irritant. Throttle tip-in acts more like a 4-cylinder turbo than a V8. The dumb "all windows down and sunroof open" feature activates if the button on the fob is accidentally pushed so the car filled with rain one night. In general, a great potential that has been wrecked by lack of attention to detail. Should have gotten an Impala and saved the money.

Purchased a used (18,000 mi.) 2004 V8 with the LSE package in Oct. 2006. Had absolutely no problems so far (42k mi.) Very well "built" luxury sports sedan. Handles great--plenty of power--decent mileage* for a V8 with this power. Highly recommend this car because of value, quality and performance. If your seeking a nice used luxury sports sedan at an "affordable" price, then this car should be on your "list". The car runs fine on 89 octane (mid) gasoline, although 91 octane suggested by factory.

'04 LS is just awesome to drive and look at and want to be in all the time but, fuel mileage is terrible in city and transmission. Has been in dealer shop twice now and is going back again due to jerky shifts, bucking uphills even after replacing trans solenoids.

My first LS...fun so far!

I traded in a 2001 Linc Continental for a 2004 Linc LS V8. So far, so good, with a few exceptions - the heated/cooled seat fans are noisy. The steering wheel squeaks. The transmission gets "confused". The front seats, especially the drivers seat, needs to go back a tad further. I am 5'-10" and with my foot on the pedal, my knee is slightly bent - it shouldn't be. Definately a sporty feel - not a "comfort" ride like the old Continental. Overall, I am satisfied.

I have owned this car since 12/06. Been to the dealer 3 times with coil problems. Each time it was fixed at no charge. Other then the rattles in the doors, that I fxed with some grease I love this car. The heated and A/C seats are great as is the 2 zone climate control. The engine is strong and I like the SST transmission. Seats are very comfortable even on long trips. The Instruments panel is dated in my opinion and I cant read the speedo to easy from my seating position. These are just minor grips. I gace up my Chyrsler 300C to my wife for this ride and I have no complaints. If they made an 07 I would buy that next as I enjoy this car that much.

I purchased my 2004 LS V8 Unlimited in Jan. of 2007. I test drove it and purchased within hours. I loved the ride and power but was unsure about the transmission. Although I had doubts it was a better car for me than my GTP. I love the V8, nav system and cooled seats are wonderful. But I am getting more dissimpressed with the transmission everyday.

I purchased the LS after having to put up with a company issued Taurus. I immediately got a feel for the road again. The LS is glued to the road. It felt secure on turns even high speed ones. I purchased the V6 so the pickup wasn't great, but it was respectable for a V6. I got it in Silver with Grey Leather. The wood trim really made the interior. I upgraded to larger wheels, which gave the exterior a sporty look. As far as maintenance, it was never a problem. I had it in for regular maintenance for the 40,000 miles I had it on the road.

We were looking at a explorer and saw the ls on the lot. My wife fell in love with its styling. After the test drive we were sold. For the money I feel you couldn't ask for a nicer sport sedan. It has always turned heads with it's looks and acceleration. Fuel mileage is what I expected for a car this size and weight. It's heavy but handling is great. Why does Ford always change what works for them? We've put almost 40,000 on it and the extended warranty would be worth it. Had an issue with the steering column squeaking, and the back panel of the front seat falling off. Both covered no problem under warranty, but I had non- critical issues with all new cars I've purchased. Bring it back.

Love My Lincoln LS!

Recently bought used LS v8 Sport with 16K mi. Great deal at $19.5K. My previous car was older Bmw 740. I was surprised how stiff suspension was in the LS. Feels more like new Mustang GT than any Lincoln. Ride much firmer than BMW. Steering is very tight. I'd prefer a slightly softer ride and a little less impact over bumps. LS is very quick, engine smooth and shifts are firm, but occasionally transmission seems to get confused. Seats are fairly comfortable, not too soft or firm. Interior quality is OK except dash looks a little rubbery. For the price, a used LS is a great car. While not quite on par with a BMW it looks good and provides great performance.

this is by far the best vehicle i have been in since well ever. The only thing I don't like is the gas mileage is not as good as our last car, however our old mercury could never do half of what this lincoln can. the epa number is to low we get 19-20 around town and 29-30 on the freeway. our mercury mystique got 33

I purchased my LS 3 months ago "previously owned" with 24k miles. It's a nice car, but not a great car. The ride is firm (depending on the tires) and solid. It's big but doesn't feel big on the road. Exceptional ride on the highway - city driving is unremarkable. In the 3 months I have owned it, we have been in the shop 3 times - transmission, engine knock and noises from the steering column were the causes. You hear too many noises for a car that costs this much. I know I didn't pay sticker, but that's probally the reason the LS is going out of production - it's way overpriced. I got mine for less than half of sticker after only 18 months of use.

The best car ever!

I've driven a lot of different cars in my lifetime and this by far is the most comfortable, exciting and fun to drive car I've ever owned. Took a road trip this summer to Vegas and didn't feel like I'd just drive 500 miles. Extremely comfortable. Very nimble too, handles like a premium German automobile (Mercedes M-Class, BMW 5- series). Too bad this car is going the way of the dinosaurs in a couple of years (after the '06 model year I believe). I think the boys at Lincoln need to rethink their stand on that and continue to produce this premium luxury sports car. I'd love to buy another Lincoln luxury sports car. Hope I don't have to settle for a Caddy CTS on my next car purchase.

Leased my first LS and am buying this one. Had zero problems with the first one and am enjoying continued reliability with this one. Handles exceptionally well although the performance of the V6 is just average. Average mileage in LA traffic is 20-22. Great navigation system - easy to program and use. Unbelievably good THX sound system. Heated and cooled seats are great but I don't really use them that much. Great road-trip car, extremely comfortable and silent, plus nearly 30 MPG highway (actual). Design is my only complaint - dated but still very clean. Only recommendation would be if you can afford the gas (runs premium) I'd pick up the V8/sport package for performance boost.

My experience with my Lincoln LS has been incredible!! The car practically drives itself, and the comfort level is exceptional. My friends and family have made comments that the car is too good for me. I look forward to and look for reasons to drive the car, and my kids love to be seen with Dad in his awesome car. One of my friends daughters refers to my LS as "DeLuca's Limo", now that is flattering.

From the day I drove it off the lot it has been in the shop three times for transmission repairs (starting at under 1,000 miles). The engine stalled out on me and would only run on a few cylinders at 80 miles (yes 80). It is now in the shop for the third time for a rear main engine seal that they can't seem to fix (over three weeks in the shop now). The Electronics keep going out (navigation, stereo front power windows and moon roof) all at the same time. They stop functioning for days at a time and then start working again. The dealer has not been able to isolate this problem. The dealer is beside themselves on all of these issues.

Car is solid and fun to drive. The V8 engine provides effortless power. Ford has done a good job with this car and should advertise it more. Many of the car's features are available on other cars, but my Lincoln demonstrates a special quality, that justifies a premium price. My "LS Ultimate" is very quiet on the road and yet, you always feel secure and comfortable. Controls are convenient and easy to reach. The "LS" is not a big car, yet is good looking and commands a respect not seen in similar priced automobiles. It has all the goodies that belong on a premium automobile.

Hated to leave Mark VIII, but really excited and pleased with performance style, curb appeal, and all the goodies. Cockpit is very driver friendly, speed and audio controls handy. Heat-A/C seats a gem. Travel from Maine to Fl 10 times a year. Heated wiper, seat is great in snow. Great storage, fold down seats a real plus. Transmission choice brings fun back to driving...

Appearance and styling are very good and gets quite a few glances when I drive by. Interior is very nice and the leather seats are very soft and comfortable. Stereo system is fantastic with the radio and the CD player. Overall this vehicle is very well put together and I hope to keep it for quite a while. Handling is exceptional in the rain and on snow. Very nice car.

I traded my BMW 540I for a Lincoln and it has been great I am only 31 years old so I may not be your normal limcoln driver. The only problem is at around 70 mph the steering wheel has a vibration in it not something would expect in a car like this. It has done this sence the day I drove it off the lot but I guess not everything is perfect.

A good looking luxury car with many features and lots of power. I love the auto select shift, which gives me the ability to shift from one gear to another manually. Fit and finish are excellent and my car has received numerous nice comments from friends and neighbors. Contols are convenient and easy to use. Handling is superb. My car is fun and easy to drive. It gives me a secure feeling feeling that I did have in my previous car, a Toyota Avalon. As of only 2 plus months of driving my Lincoln, I would highly recommend it to others. I will certainly consider replacing it with another just like it, when I look for my next car in 3 or 4 years.

I have a 2003 TBird, and the LS is my wife's car. Except for the TBird being an attention getter/convertible, I'd rather drive the LS. Since they share engines/trans, straight line acceleration is the same, but once you start hitting road bumps and taking sharp turns, the LS is the easy winner. Anyone looking for a Sports Sedan that doesn't give this car a shot is being foolish. With the folding seats, plenty of trunk space (got three 17" wheels/tires in the car). Seats are comfortable, fit finish are great (ash tray is out of line, but I'll get that fixed by the dealer). Because of the TBird, I wasn't shocked by the way this car accelerates, but you may be. Styling will never get old.

Coming out of a 1995 Volvo 850; At 42 I'm trying to bring the average age of Lincoln owners down. The LS is a nice balance between the Lexus ES330 (ride too floaty, styling too bland) and the Acura TL (ride too choppy, styling trying too hard). The ride is firm but comfortable; the car corners like it's on rails. Styling is not exciting, but it should age well; given the performance it's kind of stealth-like. Fit and finish are great, tho some materials and switchgear likely aren't up to Lexus/Acura standards. Size is about perfect for city maneuvering. The 6 cyl. offers better acceleration than my Volvo's 5 and I have to be careful not to get going too fast on the Interstate.

At first glance this was a great vehicle. After awhile gremlins started appearing - first the throttle body was replaced, then a exhaust bracket broke, tires replaced due to imbalance, loose rear suspension, loose and creaky interior door trim and whining heat/AC vent fan that dealer says is "Normal". When it isn't in the shop it is a great car, but then it develops another problem. If you intend on purchasing one, be sure to opt for the extended warranty!

I have no complaints - just wish the gas mileage were a little better. It handles so much better than the Town Car I traded in on it. Its quick handling and accelaration have prevented two would-be bad accidents. It is the best car I've ever driven, let alone owned and I have owned some wonderful autos. And the service by the dealer has been great. This is my second Lincoln LS. I hope I can always have an LS!

My wife owns a 2004 BMW and my LS handles better, gets better gas mileage, built better, has more power and costs $10K less than the BMW 5 series. I traded in a Lexus 330 for this LS and am glad I did. The rear wheel drive in the LS handles much better in emergency situations than the loose feel of the Lexus and the luxury feel is equal if not better.

This, as usual is a fine car, however, I think the system is off somewhere. When I turn the corner it jerks. It jerks quite often. None of our other cars have done this. It is not smooth on take-off (it acts like the old hydra- matic shift of the fifties Oldsmobile. I wonder if we have a lemon. No one really wants to believe me. I have loved the LS over any other car we have had. I have logged many, many miles since I was 15 and have driven almost all makes. I like the fact that when you hit the accelerator on the highway it immediately rises to the occasion. I am seventy (female) and do not drive like a woman.

I just bought a Linclon LS and a Linclon Towncar both for $77,000. The LS has a dream ride and a good reliability record but has sevral other problems. The car doesn't handle like my old LS or my old Toyota Avalon. My Towncar is even worse. It doesn't drive, is to big, and has already needded a new transmission after 2000 miles. By Toyota instead

This car is a good perormer. IT smokes the 5 seires in every possible way, except for its reliability. (1 octane is ok, since its a beefy, strong, tourqey V8. Even if you cant afford one, test drive it at least.V8 is a must.

I Drive top end cars every day. I have found the Lincoln Ls to be one of the nicest and best handling sports sedans on the market. The Ls with the V8 and advance trac seams to give the driver a piece of mind while take country roads at speeds over 75. This all in a car not priced over 50,000.

I like to ride of the vehicle but those bridgestone tires does not work well in rain or snow. They cause the car to hydroplane. On the interior there is very little storage space for things like CD cases and a place to set your purse.

I couldn't believe the comments presented by some of the "experts" concerning the assembly and performance (power & handling) of the LS. While I nearly bought a new 2003 5-series BMW, the bottow line was that I got, in my opinion, the best performing and handling car for the money in the LS. The only edge I would give to the 5- series is the interior.

I previously leased a 2001 LS and had some problems with reliability. However, the drive experience more than made up for the problems. When the lease renewal time came, I did not hesitate to stay with the LS. The increased horsepower and improved sound proofing and other tweaks to the design and ride make me glad I stayed with the LS. This is one great ride and a real blast to drive!

Benchmarked to the BMW 530. Luxo performance driver's car. Very balanced. Bring on the twisties for the "LS grin." For good information, see the Lincoln LS Owner's Club on line (30 days free membership). Definitely not your fathter's Lincoln. More like, "How Rod Lincoln" by Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen. Much improved over the earlier iterations (before 2003)in all respects -- the NY Times review on line is out of date and does not do it justice.

Have had our LS appearance package 6 cyl for just about a month. Got an excellent deal and so far the car is performing up to expectations. Build quality appears to be first rate, paint is flawless(vivid red). My first experience with Lincoln (or Ford for that matter). Been driving Audis for 2 decades and most recently a Cadillac. If the LS holds up over time it will have been a good decision. Already looking at the '06 Zeypher as a possibility for me as the LS is my wife's car.

I just received my new Lincoln in February and have not really taken it to the max. But so far with trips to Maryland and Washington DC the car performed very well. The only problem that I have encounted is the price of the 93 octane gas that is required to operate the vehicle. And with gas prices going up this might be a problem for many consumers and myself.

Read all the reviews of the entry level and mid-level luxory cars. Then look at the quality, features, and test drive them. You'll see that the Lincoln comes out on top and will save you thousands of dollars over similarly equipped and sized foreign luxory cars. A great value!

I do not care for the requirement for 91 octane fuel. The automobile interior noise level is higher than I had expected. The LS performed well under some bad conditions, with water over the highway. In general I am satisfied, but not really impressed.

I have two major problems with my LS. 1. Car listed at 20/26 gas consumption. I get 15/26. Since most of my driving is city driving this is a problem. 2. I cannot see the dash in bright sun. Having a black dash is pretty but not a a smart thing. I spoke to the Lincoln consumer affairs people they made note of this and told me I wasn't the only one to complain. I consider this a safety problem.

Good Car
