Used 2005 Lincoln LS Consumer Reviews
Instr. Panel
I at times find that the speedodometer is very hard to see. It is subject not being bright enough to be seen with out a lot of strain. Other than this it is fine. You should not take your eyes off the road to read odometer.
Disappointing LS
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..

Love My New LS
I just purchased a new 2005 LS & love it. Since the new 2006's are out, I got a great price. I plan to drive this car for a long time so the year model wasn't an issue for me. My friends are all quite impressed. One remarked that it was so quiet that it didn't sound like a car, it sounded more like a kitten purring. So far, I'm getting 19 mpg city driving & I haven't tried it on highway driving yet.
Bring back the LS
This is the car I'd like to be driving forever. I could care less if sales slowed down. I bought one, and when Lincoln decides to bring this vehicle back to the lineup, I will replace mine with a brand new LS
Not Your Father's Lincoln!
I have ridden in Lincoln's before; my father currently owns a 2004 Lincoln Town Car, and it is an excellent car which does what it is designed to do- transport its occupants in luxury with every conceivable convenience at your finger tips. The vehicle is solid, well-built auto with a velvet-smooth ride. The only draw back is that it does not exude the image of a performace sedan. So when I had the opportunity to rent a Lincoln LS a few months ago, I was pleasantly surprised by a Lincoln that is not only luxurious, but also a pleasure to drive. The acceleration is brisk, yet refined enough to not spill your passengers'champange. The build quality is excellent, and the design is very sexy.
