2005 Lincoln LS Ultimate 4dr Sedan (3.9L 8cyl 5A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
the handling is so good that the ride experience seems less exciting than say, the mustang; and it certainly would be nice to have a 5- or six-speed manual option; but take a glance down at the speedo. and realize that you're doing 95 when you swear it could only be 70- not shabby. negatives:1) the doors are CHEAP/LIGHT/CHATTERY 2)the Advanctrak, while it has probably saved my life, when disabled does NOT turn off the traction control at take-off, which leaves one at an initial disadvantage next to a... sports-car competitor; furthermore, the select- shift doesn't help with this 0-to- whatever limitation(it does, delightfully, help with manuevering around those ubiquitious left-lane Volvos).
The Lincoln LS is better than your ride!

I have driven plenty or cars and trucks, but the LS is by far the best. I love the speed my V-8 has and how handles all conditions is crazy. If you are thinking of buying a BMW,Caddy,or Mercedes you must try the LS first. Audi, Thunderbird,Volvo,and Saab don't even come close.

This is a good car for the money. I enjoy the ride and overall comfort. My next car will be the BMW 525. I will spend the extra money to get the higher level of quality found and performance in the BMW products. The LS was purchased because of the price point and ride quality.
Disappointing LS

2005 Lincoln LS Luxury 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

I purchased my 05 LS V6 used with 19000 miles on it with high hopes. I planned on keeping it for many years and was happy with the deal I got on it ($18795). About 6 months after purchasing this vehicle I had to have the transmission serviced for a shifting problem. The following winter I had the car in service 3 times for various problems(burning oil smell which turned out to be silinoid rails, a cracked throttle body and a leaking transmission hose). I owned the car for almost two years and am now forced to part with it because the warranty is almost gone and I was not smart enough to purchase an extended one up front(current cost $4100). Be ready for a car with high maintenence..
I love my towncar

I have owned 3 Lincoln Towncars since 1990 and I have loved them all. The ride is as good as any and the value is great when you compare the price of a Linclon ($30,000) to a Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, etc... ($50,000-85,000). OK you get the prestige and one-upmanship with those foreign nameplates but personally I would rather drive a Lincoln and pocket the difference in cash, but then I am just an average middleclass American.
