I purchased my 2005ls in 2006 with 20,000 miles on it. Now has 60,000. Nice body style but... Buyer beware! I have had a lot of trouble with this car and its in the shop again today. Always a problem with coils, the engine and other things. Reliability is very poor. I believe there should be recalls for these problems. Can any one help?

I just bought this recently and so far, so far good. It's not great in Winter conditions (It's rear wheel drive, what do you expect), gas mileage is on par around 20-21 mpg, good power, very comfortable, and is overall a good looking car. I've read up on these cars for a few years trying to learn about its problems, its Pros and Cons, and decided its worth the money if you take care of it just like any other car. My only gripe is you SHOULD feed it premium. I don't care what websites say that you can run 87 in it...In the end, it will just slow ly kill it. Gas is going up again, but I knew this when I bought it and will be willing to make sure it gets what is needed.

As a long owner of Ford/Lincoln products this car is very understated. Very quick for a 4 door with the 32 valve/285HP V8. The only issues I have had with the car in 100,000 miles is coil packs which are covered by ford for 10yrs or 100.000 miles. If you buy one used, check with ford. They have replaced all of them. The other concern was the cooling system. IF the car has over 75K, I recommend cooling tank and plastic pipe-like hoses be replaced and whatever else the service technician may recommend. I alway recommend transmission fluid service every 40K or so to keep the additives fresh.

I'm the not so proud owner of a '05 LS V6. This car has been a royal pain since I bought it. It's got 130K kms on it now. I can't keep coils or catalytic converters on it to save my a_ _. I contacted Ford 3 times and all I got was lip service from there complaint desk. I've been stranded so many times and spent so much money on this piece of garbage in repairs it's ridiculous. I was planning on buying a MKS but after all this pain it's not going to happen.

My car had all maintenance records and all original paperwork. It was a special car that had been extremely well taken care of. I love this car, it is still perfect on the highway, no sounds whatsoever inside. Has powerful pickup when needed and still has a beautiful exterior line. I love it.

I took my LS to dealership regarding an oil leak problem on driveway at my home. I have 44500 miles now and still covered by warranty. The service advisor determined a recall item (hose) need replacement. Before driving off the lot, I saw a oil leak again. returned to service advisor pointing it out. He described it as a run off,after other fluids levels had been topped. I was not convinced and told him. He said drive it a few days if oil continues to leak to dealership. One week later oil puddle still on my driveway.

This car is a problem machine! I bought my 2005 lincoln ls ultimate v8 a few years ago with 22k on it.

DONT BUY!!!!!!

I have enjoyed the LS for it's power and ride. Very nice personal car. A bit tight in the back seat. Only problems were missing ignition which was remedied with new COP a few years back - none since then. Then there is the Ford/Lincoln A/C system. This dual temp system seems to have had a lot of problems. Controls have messed up a couple of times on this car and our Town Car. Also, lost the A/C compressor a couple of times over the 100,000 miles I've owned it. Then the cd changer crapped out. I have a couple of cds stuck in there. Sound system is great except for that. Overall, a very enjoyable, fast, safe car. Mar 2017 - Have 130000 and still runs great. See a lot of cars with lights out (I think indication of poor quality) and this car all lights work. So do all electronics, except for the jammed cd player. Still quick and still solid. Even get a few 'nice car' from folks who see it. Good styling considering some of the awful choices Lexus and Audi have made. A/C is ok now, but controls sometimes get crossed signals for temp. I hope Ford has finally figured this dual system out.

I purchased this LS more or less blind. I went to the dealership looking at Fusions. The salesman showed this to me. I drove it and was impressed. A doctor had owned it, it is loaded, he left it very clean. I love the power of the v8 and the rear drive. The tranny is very smooth as is the acceleration. Seats, although flat, are comfortable. They are heated and cooled which is nice. The handling is exceptional, it has a very tight turning radius. It cruises very well at 85 and 90. I averaged 25.5 miles on a trip to Texas, which I thought was darned good for a v8. I have two complaints: the AM radio reception is weak, and I do experience some valve chatter during hard acceleration.

I bought my 05 LS Sport V8 in 2013 and i can say that after close to 5 years of driving it was the best damn vehicle ive ever had. I sold it last summer only because my family was growing and i needed room for more car seats. For having a small v8 it got great gas mileage. Ave 21 on the highway at 75-80 mph. I actually shed a few tears watching the new owner drive it out of my driveway and disappear at the end of the street. Only problem which is very notorious with the 3.9l v8 is coil packs going bad. I found replacements on eBay and amazon for next to nothing. Like 50 bucks shipped for all 8. They’re fairly simple ti change. I miss mine every day!

I bought this car new and have no problems whatsoever. It handles nice, very comfortable on long trips and even my 30 yr old daughter loves driving it. very nice interior, roomy trunk, and it has enough power for all driving speeds. It is even good on fuel economy. Stereo speakers very good quality. I have driven this car back and forth from California to Texas and back on a few occassions and the car has given me a most pleasurable trips. It handles very well for a midsize car. I feel that anyone who drives this car will enjoy the experience, the ride, comfort and all the little extras, I have. I have had nothing but compliments on my car.

Amazingly smooth, faster than the CTS I drove, better materials than the Mercedes 430S, better road tests/handling than a 540i and a LOT more reliable than my neighbors Lexus. (ZERO repairs in 100K miles and just did my first tune up and sealed coolant change as designed) AND for $36K off the lot! What an amazing car! (At track days we hit 139 mph on the 17 inch Michelins - do not tell me insurance agent plz!) and other than adding an upgraded ceramic brake pad the car performs like the Jaguar S type (engine/trans and chassis/brakes are the same) but is a sleeper in subtle but classy style. Beat Lexus for JD Powers delivery awards in 2005. PLEASE keep building them like this!

I regret the purchase. Lincoln does not stand for quality or luxury. It's just a Ford with a different emblem. It's eaten two batteries in less than 9 months. Ford & the dealer are not standing behind this flawed product. The thing is assembled in Mexico where Ford has quality control issues. The interior finishings are sub-par for a "luxury" car, but fine if it was Ford branded. The touted 1 year maintenance plan is actually a downgrade from a 3 year plan that use to be inclusive. The only good thing about the car is the smooth ride. But that is because it has a Jaguar suspension. But it also has Jaguar electrical systems which are chronically flawed, hence its taste for batteries.
Typical Car -- Audi A6 better!

The Lincoln LS is for the basic transportation, not luxurious as a Cadillac CTS or Audi A6. I had this car for a for a year, and gave me alot of problems. First off it rattled a lot, poor mileage, weak performance. Seats started to rip and tear off, typical Lincoln, you know? Very unreliable, if you think this car is cool, I dare you to test drive a 2005 Audi A6 3.2 Quattro and tell me you didn't enjoy it. I personally wouldn't recommend it, It's your money. Keep on reading.

I have owned a 2000LS 3.9V8 in 2006, it had around 100K miles and had a fatal wreck...I coded out twice on the way to the hosp., yes I slid off the road and into a ditch, rolled into a tumble, in to a tree...Photos upon request, NO airbag deployment at all. 24days in the hospital, many broken bones yet IF I would have been in a foreign vehicle, I truely feel that I would not be alive. I just purchased my used 2005LS V8 with 60K mile on it and feel safer now then ever before. regardless of airbags, this is a very safe car. so I do agree with "Stacy M" "have airbags checked" and Lincoln please bring the LS back. Patrick...

The Lincoln LS looks very impressive. It gets a lot of attention and needs alot of attention. It has been nothing but a money pit ever since I bought it. Within one week I had two coils repaired( very expensive). From little things to more expensive stuff, it's something every week. I recently stopped by an auto parts store (again) for help with the broken screws on the traction button that had broke. The men committed how the car looked nice. I replied, "want to buy it?" They laughed and said "NO WAY! Those are nothing but lemons!" Wish I had heard that before I made the mistake of buying it.

I now have 179,000 kms on this POS and its still "nickel and diming" me to death. The front end is rattling again after it had front struts, sway bar links, and tie rod ends installed at 145,000 Kms. The E-brake light is on and beeping. I don't use it so I don't understand why it would need service. The traction control switch fell through the hole in the console for no apparent reason. I had to replace the power steering pump because it was leaking badly. The oil pan is leaking again, at least I think it's the oil pan. The coil packs (5th set) are due to be changed again because the car stutters at times and that lets me know the coil packs will need changing soon. FORD - you suck!!!

I do not like the way the front seat safety belts fasten. They are too hard since they are so close to the console.The transmission seems to jerk sometime while changing. I have advised the dealersip of this twice and they cannot find any reason it would do this and while test driving , it does not do it. The time and temp. are hard to read in the daytime.

This is my second Lincoln LS I loved my 02 but this one is even better. It has incredible power, handles wonderfully, and is so fun to drive. The even weight from rear to front keeps the car from nose diving when stopping fast. I was sold on it when we were doing 75 mph and the truck in front of us lost his load and we had to stop suddenly. We never lost control and stopped with such ease.

I purchased this Lincoln LS after owning Mercury Grand Marquis for 20 years. At first when I got into this car I felt a little awkward - it was smaller. Oh But just a few test drives and it caught me, with the beauty, the go, the style and one thing that I have always like and that was rear wheel drive. When I was looking to purchase I had looked and test drove the Grand Marquis, Ford 500, Mercury Montego and the Buick LaCross - non made me feel as comfortable in it like this one did.

I have owned this car just a little over 4 years, and have had no problems with it. It had 21,000 miles on it when I purchased it. I am religious about maintenance on my vehicles, and that's all I've had to do. Nothing replaced, everything is still working well at 81,000 miles. I love the way it handles, rides, and the excellent acceleration! Good enough on gas for me (20 around town; 25-26 or so highway). Since it is beautifully styled, you feel beautiful driving it. It turns heads! If Lincoln ever re- introduces it, I will definitely rebuy.
Love My LS

We were looking for a Mustang, but deciding it was not right for our family, we found our 2005 LS sitting on the lot. It was owned by a Ford executive and was originally registered to Ford. The car has all the power I could want with the comfort my wife loves. We got a great deal on the car with full warranty. After owning foreign cars for the past several years, I am really hooked on the good old American cars again. If I were to buy a new car, it would most likely be the LS replacement, the Lincoln MKS. Only major problem with the car is the reverse warning stopped working. Took it to dealer and the sensor unit was replaced under warranty and in 1 day.

This is my 2nd LS, the first being a 2000. In 5 years, the LS has improved with an even smoother ride, satellite navigation system, heated and cooled front seats and other luxury amenities too numerous to mention. The LS is not only fun to drive as it handles like a sports car, but also very reliable.

I still like the look of this car and it is fun to drive when it works. Seem to have constant problems with it and nothing is ever inexpensive to fix. Just spent over three weeks going between a mechanic and Ford trying to figure out what was wrong (it would miss while idling). We think it is finally fixed after replacing all the boots and coils. I am not trusting that we won't have more problems soon. Our regular mechanic won't touch it. We tried to sell it and no one wants it even though the interior and exterior is in excellent condition. I thought I was getting a high end, high quality car. I have owned several Fords before. I am now questioning if I want to every buy another Ford.

Purchased with 13K on it, coming off lease. Great price as these cars don't hold their value. Great value if you plan on driving it for 10 years like I do. Bang for the buck, much better than comparable BMW, Acura, Lexus and Mercedes products. I'm very happy with this product so far.

Everything about this car shouts performance and quality. It is everything a BMW or Mercedes is, but better because it is AMERICAN! If there is anything I would change , I would give the back seats a little more leg space. At 6'3" I have to move the driver seat forward to provide enough leg room for anyone older than 10. My knees almost touch the dash which is not comfortable for any lenght of time. Otherwise a great car.

I loved driving the Lincoln LS-Great Car!But accidently ran off road dodging deer, car slide down incline & hit covert. When car flipped 3 to 4 times completely totalling out car the only airbag that deployed was passenger's side front. Car nose dived on driver's side flipping & hit every point on car but the steering wheel nor side airbags ever deployed. Lucky to be alive! If you own a Lincoln LS have airbags checked-end this accident I was informed all airbags should've deployed that would've help prevent alot of pain & stay in hospital.

Prior to buying this vehicle the only concern I had was fuel economy. Turns out this car does well on long trips. Just did a drive from British Columbia to Yuma return. On the average I got approx. 26 MPG. If you use the power you pay the price. Hold it under 70 MPH and you'll be happy. I bought this vehicle as a lease return I cannot find anything wrong with the car, however I took it in for some minor repairs and was pleased with my treatment from Ford. I have owned about 15 new Fords over the past 30 years. I am not the least disappointed in this car. It is a treat to drive & gets lots of compliments. Handles well in snow.

I've owned my LS for nearly two years, having "stepped up" from a Grand Marquis. For a car prices in the upper 30s, I'm not impressed. The front tires (Continentals) began severly cupping at 30,000 miles. Lincoln would only stand by a 50% replacement with Michelens. Gas mileage is signficantly less than advertised. There is no backseat room when the driver's seat is fully back. Trunk space is very"shallow, will accomodate only one large suitcase. On the plus side, the V6 does give plenty of power when passing, but sometimes lurches when backing up or starting forward. The front seat AC/Heat is a nice feature and overall the AC system cools well. I expected more from a Lincoln.

I purchased this 2005 LS used with 23000 miles on it. So far it's been a fairly nice car to drive. I was however, expecting a bit more from a Lincoln. I'm 60 years old and basically have always owned a sports car......3 T-birds in a row...... I wanted to move up to a more comfortable riding vehicle. The Lincoln doesn't ride as well as I would like it to. It is the best handling car I've ever owned though and I've had a few Corvettes in my time. All in all, for the price, it's been very good so far.

Just purchased. Drove over 600 miles yesterday and got better that 23 mph. Good I think for not broken in. I expect the 26 est. to be realistic with more miles on the car. Lots of extras make driving experience enjoyable. Love the leather and the seats offer lots of support on long drive.

I was all set to buy a new Lincoln Town Car, but once I stepped behind the wheel of my Lincoln LS Sport car, I was sold! My new Lincoln LS Sport drives like a Shelby Mustang, and shifts like a Ferrarri. The suspension truly gives it sports car road feel. The instrument cluster is not cluttered and easy to view. The leather wrapped steering wheel is nice to grasp and holds easy on the curve, noting that there is little sway on turns, especially at higher speeds. By combining sport features with luxury, Ford has another great product in this little Lincoln.

I purchased a Lincoln new. 3 months after the manufacturer's warranty expired and only 46,500 miles driven, I started experiencing problems; first the ignition coils($600 aftermarket), the air conditioner($400), parking brakes, brake rotors, pvc tube, etc. I wrote Ford-Lincoln numerous times, but they have refused to take responsibility. Don't be deceived, after more research, Others have experienced the same problems. These are common problems with the Lincoln models, I don't understand why there have not been a recall?

Over time I have owned a number of luxury sedans and I am thoroughly impressed by the LS. Lincoln has come a long way in its quest for a front line competitor with the European and Japanese makes in its class. It is fun to drive as well as practical (selectshift transmission is great in traffic... less use on brakes). Handling is fantastic! One thing I'd like to see improved would be shoulder room and leg room for the front and back.

Bottom line great car. Very pleased. It is comparable to ANY luxury car. This is a rare occassion since it's american. But this has class and sophistication along with power. This is comparable to any bmw or mercedes. Take my word for it
Fun but small

I love the look and feel of this car. It handles and performs very well. I didn't buy it for the gas milage but it is less then I expected even driving mildly around town (14-15mpg). It is not a comfortable car for a man my size to drive very far, (6'3" 250) But it is quiet and fun. The standard sound system is average.
Fun to drive

I'm a 20 year old male who went from a 1999 Mercury Sable LS to a 2005 Lincoln LS V6 Luxury. The exterior of the car is just great. It's a very sharp looking car that turns heads. The base audio system puts out a good amount of power. It gives a very comfortable drive in town and on long highway trips. Car really hugs the road on winding and hilly roads. Not up to par with the European industry leaders, but good for what it is.
The 05 is even better then 02

This is my second Lincoln LS I loved my 02 but this one is even better. It has incredible power, handles wonderfully, and is so fun to drive.The even weight from rear to front keeps the car from nose diving when stopping fast.I was sold on it when we were doing 75mph and the truck in front of us lost his load and we had to stop suddenly. We never lost control and stopped with such ease.
Lincoln LS: There is no substitute...

The Lincoln LS is the ultimate driving machine. Affordability and extensive features makes this car attractive to any gadget man who likes toys (like the GPS) and the feeling of safety and power on the open road.
Very good value

Very good value for luxury car. Very good handling and acceleration. I traded in a 2000 LS Sport with 98000 miles.
