Expensive

It is expensive to repair, but when it's working, it drives smoothly. Very comfortable interior and nice exterior.

Lincoln's Best Car

The LS is by far the best performance car that the Lincoln Motor Company has ever made, even compared to the new 400hp MKZ. The LS has the classic set up for a luxury sports sedan. V8 engine, RWD, and the option to turn the traction control off with the press of a button. The 3.9L V8 engine (which is a Jag V8 from when Ford owned Jaguar) loves to rev and roar. Never worry about passing someone or getting up to speed with the LS. This car was Motor Trend's Car of the Year for 2002 and out performed the BMW 540 of the same model year in every category: acceleration, braking, cornering, etc. This is by far the best car I've ever owned, and I don't plan on selling it any time soon.

2002 Lincoln LS reliabilitysucks

Traded my LS as it is way too expensive to maintain. The individual ignition coils are unreliable. Had 4 of 6 replaced. It costs upwards of $500 to change the spark plugs as you have to take the intake manifold off in order to change plugs, What a lousy design. I could go on, but suffice it to say I'll never buy another Lincoln.

Expensive repairs

We have had numerous repairs done to our 2002 Lincoln and many times, it's 100's of dollars. The last few times, it was $1400-2000. Constant overheating issue that never has been resolved.

A very nice car

We Purchase a Lincoln 2001 LS as a used car with 128,000 miles, and at a great price. The car is very clean inside and out, it also has a very smooth ride. The V6 engine is very quick. The AC is very cold and good.

Lincoln LS

I pruchased my 2002 Lincoln LS as a used car with 4,300 miles. I've driven it now for 8 years and currently has 57,000 miles. This has truly been an outstanding automobile that, in my opinion, should have never been dropped by Ford. Mine is a V6 and the only complaint is that the vehicle is to low to the road causing it to bottom out over some of the shatp speed humps. I plan to trade soon because I've never driven a car this long before.

Great little car for the money

I took months and scoured all the car sale sites and found a 1 owner, who took care of the car and he had fixed all that went wrong. Bought it right and it had 111,000 miles. Put $1,500 in to it and it is now a great looking, fun, fuel efficient Lincoln go cart. What a blast to drive, quick, quiet and still a head turner. The LSE package makes all the difference in performance and fun factor. Like any 10 year old car, it will have some repairs, but paid cash and love this car. Super Dave in Dallas PKR ACE

German sports car at an American price

Lovely Car agile and aggressive Luxury look sport ride no backseat room for a full sized adult four door coupe but drives like a dream and most reliable for the money other than a BMW and Audi who has outrageous maintenance. Lincoln keep it up you've got my undivided attention. Upgrades Magna Flows, K & N cold air intake and Sprint lowering springs you think about it.
