What owners say
"Overall, drivers are quite pleased with the 2002 Lincoln LS, praising its acceleration, handling, and comfort. Many highlighted the stylish interior and exterior design, along with low maintenance needs. However, some owners reported issues with parts such as ignition coils and air conditioning, suggesting a few reliability concerns as mileage increases."
I bought this car with 164k miles to replace a BMW 5 series with almost 300k miles, that got totalled. I've had the car a few years now and it has almost 350k miles on it. The valve cover gaskets are actually still the original ones and they are only barely seeping. I've had to do very minimal maintenance on this car. It is very comfortable and even though I am in a position where I can drive just about whatever car I want, I humbly choose my Lincoln until it decides to bow out. Regardless if it decides to do so, this car has never left me stranded up to this point and for that I'm grateful. At almost 350k miles and still going strong with no leaks, no issues other than a saggy headliner and a drivers heated seat that doesn't work ( who cares)... This particular car has far surpassed my expectations... As far as buying another one when this one lays down, I will not. Once this page has turned I will be moving into an s class, but I've enjoyed all the time I've spent behind the wheel of this particular car.
May 3, 2014This thing performs much better than expected. It's a big car with a big engine and sport package. Acceleration is great! It stops surprisingly well (for it's size). Appearance is much nicer than the traditional Lincoln LS (because of the special color, rims and sport package style). Cost of ownership is a fair. It costs more than the Honda that I had but less than my old Ford Probe (that's a fairly limited comparison I realize). It's definitely a fun ride! Have lots of leg room (I'm 6ft, 2in) and it feels like I'm driving in my leather recliner (btw I can easily fit 5 adults w/o being cramped). It is by far the most comfortable car I have ever had.
June 3, 2011Not a Hot Rod, but can get out of it's own way. Very comfortable and built like a tank. Much better looking and better built then any Lexus. Corners like it's on rails but needs snow tires in the winter for sure.

February 14, 2010great acceleration for only a 6 cyl. great braking. and one of the best handling. no needed repairs. very few repairs since owned car. interior has a good style with the wood trim. and the basic design of the car. the exterior of the car is a great design. i love it. gas mileage is good at averaging 23 to 26 miles a gallon. low maintenance for almost 100k miles. the car is one of the most fun i have ever driven.
June 27, 2009It's a wonderful car to drive with a fairly soft suspension that you'd expect from a luxury car, but the V8 paired with a clutchless transmission is tons of fun.
January 19, 2008I love everything about this car. Most people who see it think it is a new car despite it having 93,000 miles on it. It doesn't owe me anything. Again, if you properly maintain any car it can last virtually forever, even in Canada with all our salty roads. The fit and finish are as good or better than any European luxury car and certainly beats the Oriental cars, even Lexus by a country mile.
June 20, 2014This is not my father's Lincoln Continental by any means. This car does not 'float" down the road like my father's land yacht used to. The wheel is tight and this car handles turns brilliantly. On the freeway, the quiet ride and the 252 horsepower 32 valve Lincoln V8 engine make you realize you didn't really want that Beemer and make you glad you bought American.,.
November 7, 2014This has been a nice reliable car. Owned new from 2003 and have over 127000 miles so far. Except for needing to replace all of the coils the car has been reliable. As for its apperance, I still like the overall design as compared to some newer cars. Hope to keep running for many more years.
November 6, 2013Runs like a baby. Interior is great. Double-Din DVD player. Custom interior lights. Custom Chrome Air Intake/Airflow system. Custom straight-pipe exhaust. Power. The acceleration in auto-shift mode is near perfect. Definately a sleeper on the road. I would recommend this car to any lincoln lover.
December 16, 2012I love this car because it just looks beautiful and it was car built way ahead of its time...i wonder what it would look like today
