I leased my LS V-8 in June 2001. I've experienced constant problems for the first two years ranging from interior material quality to wind noise,constant steering vibration, brake problems etc. Trips to Service Department were multiple and constant due to the very low quality of work performed. Misdiagnosting the problems and ordering wrong parts were of frequent nature. Vehicle was constantly returned to me in a messy and dirty conditions.Make sure that you know if you get this Vehicle you will pay premium price but you will not get a Lexus-type service.

I have only owned my LS Sport for four months, but so far, it has proved to be a reliable, fun-to-drive, comfortable car that competes well with foreign makes. I do have a few complaints, however. Mainly, materials are inferior to similarly-priced imports. This car has its share of shortcomings, but could be outstanding if some of them are addressed.

Almost every item listed in tech bulletins applies to this vehicle. Frequent chimes with no read out, automatic windshield washer functions according to the mood of the car, sometimes comes on on a bright sunny day for a couple of swipes, frequently needs a boost to begin operation in the rain. Engine light, check Advance Trac and Cabin Filter lights often show, moisture in headlights. Re-setting a computer seems to be the standard answer. Steering column assembly had to be replaced because of worn bearings. One sway bar broken, other replaced because of excessive wear of bolts. Trunk lid and left rear door were out of line. Because of this auto has only 18000 miles.
Good but could be great

This LS with a V8 is a powerful, well balanced car. However, the front is only comfortable if you are under 6 feet tall. The leg room in a long trip makes you wish you had walked there The front seats could have been made a little bit plusher and the design should allow for a bit more room on the "wings" that "hold" you in place. So when one gets in the leather is not scratched with your left back pocket. Other than that, the car is fairly well built. Of course is Ford made so you don't get the finished that you find on a comparable car of European descent or even Cadillac. We've problem with all windows, fogged- up headlight & noise Would I buy another one? No

Just bought my used 2001 LS last week. I'm still in awe about this vehicle. I got a V6, maybe slightly underpowered but I don't mind it. The ride is smooth, seats are very comfortable like riding around in a plush lazy boy. Mine has the Alpine CD-6 indash changer w/the audiophile speaker system....ROCKS!

Just bought this car a week ago, instantly fell in love with it. Has a good balance of performance and comfort. Great V8 and havent had any transmission gripes as of yet. Think woodtrim could be a little more realistic as do others. Door locks should unlock once cars placed in park if there going to automatically lock once cars in motion. All in all great car. Good job America.

This has been the best car we've owned. Relatively few problems. It is fun to drive, looks great and is reliable. My only wish is that Lincoln would get on board and come up with better gas mileage. That would be the only thing that could keep me from buying another one. I'll be crossing my fingers.
Six years and still going strong

This has been a great car. Recently rolled 90k. Only significant non- routine maintenance has been recent replacement of a coil. I don't even think about it being 6 years old. It's always been fun to drive - comfortable, quiet, quick, and nimble. My wife is always trying to take it away from me. I don't know what else to say. Originally bought it over a Jag X-type which was smaller and pricier for comparable features. My LS is loaded with everything but heated seats (not needed in the South). Everything (but CD - see below) works like the day I drove it off the lot.

It's not a BMW. It doesn't cost what I BMW does. I didn't want a BMW. I did want an American car that follows the formula - good size, great handling, decent acceleration, etc. etc. I got it. One of the best cars I've owned (12 in the last 16 years.)

I was one of the 1st customers to own a LS in April 1999 on a two year lease. This car was terrible with all the system (computer) and fuel problems I encountered. The car was labeled a lemon. I complained a total of 10 times to district reps. Finally, they gave and offered me another model of the same car in a 2001 version. I excepted. This is a wonder if it had some more get up and go. What a shame! Overall I should have waited for the LS-8.
Great car

I bought my 2001 LS as a used former Hertz rental car. It is by far the best car I have ever owned. Faster and more powerful than a BMW, styled like a Mercedes, comfort like a Lincoln! I love it.

I wanted an elegant, luxurious, fun to drive sports sedan. This car fulfills all my needs: rear wheel drive, near 50- 50 weight distribution, V8, enough interior space, big trunk, and it is American made. It is very comfortable (even with the sport package). Has great handling. It is powerful and I get 17MPG in city driving.
Excellent Vehicle

The Lincoln LS is an excellent alternative to the foreign sport sedan models. The car has an excellent value quotient, both new and used. The vehicle I own has been quite reliable and the dealer takes care of it as needed.

I bought my 2001 Lincoln LS8 as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. I received an excellent price and an exceptional car. Though my friends say it does not compare to their Lexus ES and GS sedans, I beg to differ. Handling and cabin noise-level are especially impressive, considering the fact that my 8-cylinder engine produces much more horsepower and torque than their Lexus engines. All of the luxury features I desired were present, including moisture-sensitive windshield wipers, dual-zone climate control, STANDARD leather seating surfaces, and steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise control buttons.
One of the best cars I have ever owned

I bought my 2001 black, chromed out, presidential tinted Lincoln LS V8 with 130K miles for $2500. This car was one of the best American luxury cars I have ever driven. Besides routine maintenance and oil changes the only thing that ever went wrong with the LS was one of the cylinders was misfiring which only cost me $150 for the repair. This car flew on the highway and gave a lot of newer cars a 4un for their money. I would always get compliments on how she looked mind you it was 2015 and the car was 14 years old at the time lol. One other 5hing that went wrong, which was mainly just a pain in the rear more than anything, was the plastic under carriage cover started to rip off from the front and drag on the ground when I was driving making a horrible sounding noise. My mechanic took care of this for $250 for me and just replaced the whole covering. I had the car from 2015 until 2018 and I put almost 55K miles on it from the time I bought it bringing it to circa 185K miles. The only major con I can think of was it being a rear wheel drive car she sucked in the snow and ice. I live in New England so I knew I was taking a huge risk even buying her, but luckily my wife had a Lincoln MKX at the time and the LS sat in the garage as soon as a snowflake fell from the sky lol.

fit and finish on car is very poor. car has a number of rattles that the vehicle was delivered with. paint quality very poor. my local dealer takes numerous service attempts to do anything. then accomplishes nothing. if this is LINCOLN'S new vehicle for my generation. car quality needs to be much better, and dealer support needs a lot of help. it's no wonder ford is loosing market share.

I have had problems with tire vibration since I have had the vehicle. The original tires were replaced, but the problem still exists at highway speeds. This will probably be my first and last Lincoln. I have had more problems with this vehicle than all of my previous vehicles combined.

Comfortable and attractive, but with build quality that Ford should be ashamed of. Have owned Lexus in the past and BMW currently, dealer has no clue how to sell or treat the customer base that they are trying to attract. Dealer does not live up to any commitments made during the sales process.
Very nice car

I have owned my LS now for about 11 months and have loved it from the start - exceptional handling and sharp looking for an American 4d sedan. However, I probably would not consider this car again. For $40k I expect more than what I got - performance, service, sound system, features, attention to details on fit and finish. Lincoln just does not provide a reason for me to buy another one in 6-8 years.
i love my lincoln

i just bought a one of these cars and i love the car. i bought it 2 years old with 64000 miles on it. It has a great ride and handling. I am 18 years old and never considered buying any lincoln but when i saw the LS and drive it, i bought it the next day. the select shift 5 speed transmission makes this thing fly. All of my friends say it is "the Car" and immediately fell in love with it. Check it out, you will be suprised
Great car for the money

I bought this car after owning several imports in June 2001 and currently have 64,000 miles on it. The deal was very good, got the first payment paid by the dealer, a 1.9% interest rate, and free maintanance for 36,000 miles. When I take it to the dealer I receive a free loaner car and I have had a continental, aviator and town car as loaners, The dealer also provides free coffe and donuts and the am paper if you decide to wait. I ride the highway a lot, and the car is very stable and quiet, stereo quality is good but not as good as my previous Nissan Maxima

We purchased our 2001 low mileage Ford-Certified LS this February. There are few minor problemsthey are covered under warranty and will be fixed when we return the vehicle for its complementary oil change. We used CarFax to research its historythus ensuring a safe purchase. Our LS has extremely responsive steering. Good road feel. The seating is *very* comfortable. The car is very quickwith the refinement of a Lincoln. Absent is the noise and road-roughness usually associated with quick vehiclesmaking it paramount to pay attention to that speedometer. We are experiencing 18-19 mpg city and 22-25 mpg highway. Overall, this car is a lot of fun to drive.
