A sport sedan with a 3.0-liter, 232-hp V6 engine and 5-speed auto tran (with manual mode) probably doesn't seem like too sporty, so the 2005 Lincoln LS V6 Luxury focuses on plenty of upscale standard features.  Power front seats, leather seats and trim, wheel-mounted cruise control, dual zone climate control, a CD player, keyless entry, and a security system are all standard.  This year, some new options include power-adjustable pedals and parking sensors.  Other options for the 2005 LS V6 Luxury include an auto-dimming rearview mirror, driver's memory settings, wood trim, a CD changer, and a cargo net for the expandable trunk.

Earning four and five stars in crash tests, the V6 Luxury sedan does offer a sports suspension and 16-inch wheels.  Foglights and automatic headlights are standard, and the dual front airbags can be supplemented by side curtain airbags. 4-wheel ABS, electronic brake assist, and traction control are included, and a stability control system is available.  Drivers like the comfort and smooth ride, but a 20/26 mpg doesn't wow owners.
