This car is everything! It has speed and european styling. Plus if you're buying used you can get a hell of a deal on them.
First impressions of 2002 LS8 Sport
First impression after owning my 2002 LS8 sport one week and driving it 600 miles. I have experimented with the SelectShift transmission in various situations and so far it has performed well. I have not experienced the problems that I see mentioned frequently in reviews. If I shift it as one would normally do with a manual when RPMs are at a reasonable level, it reacts without delay and shifts smoothly. Even when shifting more aggressively, the transmission performs well.

Happy LSing
Been driving it for only 4 days and the more I drive the more I fall in love with it.
Best car for the money
Put this car's specs up side by side with the BMW 5 Series or the MB C Class (or even the E Class) and you'll find that it costs $10k less, has more engine and horsepower, AND is bigger inside and out than even the E Class. Get in and drive it and you'll find an excellent riding and handling car with plenty of power. I am very happy with my choice. However, the transmission keeps this car from being a true sports car. It doesn't have a problem, it just isn't made for sporty driving. Likewise with the V8. Lots of power but no real ability to put it on the ground all at once. All around, this car beats anything on wheels in value for your dollars.
Three years later.
I was nervous at first because of its effeciency and responsiveness in steering (it went exactly where one pointed). It is tight and hugs the highway beautifully. I drive no more than a few miles above limit and rest easy as the fools pass me at 80 and above! It also draws many compliments in the parking areas i visit.
Finally, Sporty American Luxury
This is a great looking car that does not disappoint when you drive it. I have the V-6 and don't feel like I'm missing any power. It's just as smooth at 100mph as it is at 50mph. Very quiet ride that is a joy to drive. The only downside I can find is the lack of rear leg room. Makes you proud to be an American.
LS V6 Sport w/ Manual Trans
I have been very impressed with the LS. I have owned Japanese & German sports cars in the past, and wanted something sporty AND classy - so I decided to try some Detroit steel for a change. Couldn't afford a V8, so I opted for the V6 w/5-spd manual, which helps in the performance area. This car handles better than the VW GTI VR6 and the Nissan 300 I owned! The LS corners like it's on rails, and the AdvanceTrac system is fantastic when you push it too far in a corner. I have driven a 530i since I owned my LS, and I definitely prefer the Lincoln. My next car will be the V8 Sport version, though.
My New LSE Flat Out ROCKS!
Had a few as rentals over the past year and was more than impressed, time and time again. Last time I drove it, decided to turn in the keys of my BWM 535i. More than happy with this car. Ford has done an amazing job in putting this together. Keep finding more and more people features that amaze me and how this car was thought out. Amazing performance as well. Love driving this more than the BMW.
Almost perfect
Overall I am very happy with this car. The interior layout is pretty good, but there are a few buttons that are hidden by the steering wheel. The radio would be easier to use if it was angled slightly towards the driver. The biggest surprise was the little things that should have been caught in the factory. There was a small grinder mark in a corner on the hood, there is a slight amount of welding splatter under the driver door handle, and the alignment of the body side molding is not perfect on one piece. It's the little things that Lincoln could improve upon in order to better compete with the German and Japanese.
2002 Lincoln LS
The car is wonderful. The V6 has plenty of power and the handling is excellent. The Alpine audio system is first rate. Very comfortable interior, but could use more interior storage space.
