    Very depedable and very powerful car

    I was very shocked at the huge power and MPG for the money. It is a great car for long trips, very smooth yet firm grip with the road, with luxury passenger and trunk areas. It has a Jaguar 3.9 V8 engine which is very durable. 27MPG Highway average

    Nicest car I've ever owned.

    After having a 2002 LS Sport since 2011, getting this 2005 LS Ultimate has been a dream. Improvements made in 2003 and 2004 have made it feel like a much more refined automobile. I love this car. My daily driver.

    Great car for Everything-Huge trunk

    Reliable car better than other Lincolns. The 2004, and older had transmission problems. 2005 they fixed that problem. Always have work done on this car by the Dealer otherwise they will screw the car up. That is what happen to us. The car runs perfect now.

    This car is AWESOME

    Has the features of a modern car without the cost. Smooth ride, good gas mileage, lots of V6 power, reliable, tons of room! What more could you ask for? This is not the towncar that taxi companies use, but smaller, lighter, just as luxurious but RWD and much more fun. This car was my baby for 7 years and I loved every minute of it!

    Best car I've ever owned

    Mine is an 02 Lincoln LS V8 bought new with 4 miles in October 2001 right after 9-11. Now has 243,000 miles with no complaints whatsoever. Have never had to add oil between changes-ever. One factor is that the LS has one extra quart of oil when changing. That costs one quart more but has extended the life I'm sure. It does require 91+ octane fuel. I try to find 100% gasoline when I can. The premium adds about 2-3 mpg I'm convinced, besides running and idling very smoothly. On a long interstate trip, I can easily reach 26 mpg with gentle acceleration and careful performance. It even is essentially rust-free. This is one high quality machine! I'm considering making my goal to be 300,000 miles!

    Great Open Road Car

    Great "2-lane blacktop" car, a blast to drive on winding mountain or coastal backroads. Handles beautifully, with decent power, comfort and features. A refined, affordable upgrade for old guys like me who grew up driving 1960's muscle cars. This is my second LS, having owned a 2001 LS Sport from '03 to '05.

    Great buy

    I recently bought a 2005 with less than 60,000 miles on it. As a very tall guy I was surprised at how well I fit (im 6'7). The car is an absolute blast to drive, and the 3.9 L V8 is so much fun. This car is a drivers car not just a simple luxury car. The heated and cooled seats are great, and the memory seats are awesome as well. It has a lot of get up and go, and I love every second of driving it. The only downside is it can tend to suck down gasoline. However, since it's so much fun to drive, I can't complain. This car is fantastic.
