Yes, this car was built to compete with the European sport luxury sedans, and not only complete, they topped them! If not for the transmission it would have been top rated overall but slipped a bit as it's not so great at low rpms. But it is one of the smoothest transmissions you will operate and on the highway it shines! Great power @ upper speeds too! This car is rated as one of the TOP 5 safest cars of ALL TIME! I love it's understated elegance and the engineers put some work with the all aluminum fenders and hood and putting the battery in the trunk to acheive a 50-50 weight balance and is one of the reasons for the superior handling. The alum. J-8 eng. is sweet! The Jaguar platform too!

Lincolns have been a part of my family for many years but none are what this car is. It is truly a beautiful car inside and out. It's funny, people are always asking me what kind of car this is. When I take it to get washed, I get special treatment because this car really stands out. But it acts the part. I feel safe with the stability control ABS Brakes and powerful engine. It just goes to show that you don't have to spend lots of money and still get a truly great luxury car. This car is truly a legend!

This was the biggest waste of money I have ever spent on a auto. I have a 2000 with 60K miles and it is a piece of you know what. Paid $30K for it and I can't even get $9K for trade in. Please, please, don't make the same mistake as I did. No resale value at all. Brakes have been replaced at least 4 times and now it feels like the transmission is going out. Power window motors replaced twice. Windshield replaced three times due to cracks. NEVER AGAIN!!

Have put 40000 miles on my LS in 2 years. It is great. Have only had to take it in to have the AC head unit replaced, and then just GTO (gas, tires and oil) for the rest. It still handles great, and i get about 20 MPG driving a mix of city and highway every day. Just a great car.

I bought the car with 23000 miles on it. After I had the car six weeks, it was in the shop. I had to replace a coil package...$800. I was told my warranty would not cover it?? I have replaced oxygen sensors (twice), ignition coils, and wheel bearings. The check engine light STAYS ON as well as the ABS light. It is now currently in the shop for ETC FAIL SAFE MODE. I will NEVER buy another Ford product!!!!!!
