Used 2001 Lincoln LS 4dr Sedan (3.9L 8cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Who Needs a BMW
I tell you what. I have had this car for 4 months, and have put on about 5000 miles. It is so much fun to drive, and is extremely comfortable. The only complaint I have about it is the storage space. There is none. The motor is powerful enough and it handles so well. The sport package just makes it look that much cooler.
Lincoln LS is a dream
My Lincoln LS handles excellently, has a very comfortable cockpit and all the extras a person needs. Acceleration is outstanding as is cornering and braking. It is a bit light on the back end but a bag of sand in snow makes it very responsive with the independent traction option.

'Nuther satisified owner
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.)
Milwaukee Lincoln LS V8
1. Had a very poorly shifting transmission, I took six months of complaining to the dealer, to the Ford Company directly, and then finally to the Lemon Law process to get the transmission fixed. The transmission works well now. 2. Was plaged by electrical problems that made the Lincoln just quit while driving. Requiring a tow from the Lincoln sponsored service. (It took 2.5 hours to get to me) The dealer finally found "loose ground screws". That appears to have solved the problem. 3. Developed a very bad oil leak from the power steering assembly. the dealer fixed it by replacing a deffective "quick change coupling" 4. Misc. I would feel safer if the Lincoln had other tires that Firestone.
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
