Ecellent ride/performance. You get your bang for the buck. The only other comparable car is the BMW 540I which sells for 55000.

This is the most fun car to drive I have ever owned. I find myself taking 80 mile trips just to get some milk. I have owned BMW in the past and will not go back to the overpriced German car. Great Car

Have had one year of trouble free service so far and even done a couple of Autocross events in this baby. Turned some heads at the autocross saying, that's a Lincoln...

I am thoroughly enjoying LS. The car rides like BMW 5 or Jag S (it is on same platform) but is 10K to 15K cheaper.

We really enjoy this car. It has everything we wanted. It handles well in corners and cruises down the open road at ease. It's real easy to be going 80MPH before you relize it. The stereo is outstanding, except for the over powering sub-woofers in the rear. The www.llsoc.com website (Lincoln LS owners club) was very helpful and continues to be, with all the little quirks that happen from time to time. Would I buy another LS again...I dont think so, a BMW will be next for me.

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.

LS V6 Sport w/ Manual Trans

Storm33, 03/19/2004
2002 Lincoln LS 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

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.

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.

The long term ownership experience of this vehicle falls of rapidly. This car is great for the first 2 years if you can put up with the lousy gas mileage. Beyond that, you're taking your chances because the cost of ownership goes through the roof due to intermittent but nagging repairs.

I really enjoy this vehicle and have had no major problem out of it. I only drive it on trips and the performance is outstanding. The gas mileage is great on the road but around town not the best. I want a Town Car, which will provide the room I want.

My Lincoln LS V8 has been the best car I have ever owned. At 68000 miles; it has yet to have one mechanical problem. I am still running on the original brakes, tires and battery - and all I've done is change the oil and rotate the tires as scheduled. It has been a blast to drive. When I bought it I was also considering the BMW 5 series and the Jaguar X and S Types. I think I got the best bang for my buck. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a fun car to drive, lots of power, great handling - at a very reasonable price.

The LS looks great in a classy understated way, and it is very comfortable on long highway runs - it's a Lincoln. However, on our many 2-lane blacktop roads here in East Tennessee, its superior handling and powerful V-8 passing ability make this fine car a real pleasure.

I tested the $55,000 BMW and decided to save $15K, is not worth to spend that kind of cash for a very similar vehicle.

Actually, I've had my 2000 LS since 7/00 and have had no problems. A lot of great options for the money. I've driven in all types of weather and this (rear wheel drive) car is very sure footed. Handles like no other car I've ever driven! (Mercedes E320, Caddy Deville) Even now, they ask me what kind of car it is. Wouldn't want to own anything else!

I leased my ivory parchment '02 LS in January of 2002. 24,000 miles later, I am still in love. This car is comfortable, quick, nimble and nice to look at. Pricey? Well, yes. But I believe that the LS is a better value than a comparable Lexus or BMW. Plus, I like the fact that it's American Made and has had no problems since new!

An incredible automobile that feels like it belongs on the most challenging raceway, yet offers the convenience and luxury you’d expect in a Lincoln.

I have owned my 2001 LS (V8 Sport) for 7 months. A great handling / performance car. Compares well with BMW 5 series for a lot less money. The early bugs seemed to have been worked out. If you are considering a Lexus GS, BMW 5, Audi A6, Acura or Mercedes E, drive this car before buying. Then use the savings to buy your wife a new car so she will not take away your LS

It sucks. It's the B-team vehicle at the A-team price. There's no interior storage room, it's completely unreliable. It gets bad gas mileage. It's run out of gas on me twice indicating more than a third of a tank left. Shifting gears requires a 3 second wait time.

LOVE THE RIDE AND HANDLEING. THE TRUCK ACCESSABILITY WAS A KEY FEATURE AS WE NEED TO CARRY A WHEELCHAIR FOR MOM AND THE EASE TO LOAD AND UNLOAD FROM THE TRUNK WAS SUPER. ALSO HAD A GREAT NEED FOR THE DUAL ZONE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING.
