2002 Lincoln LS consumer reviews

I love it and hate it. I've had a number or problems with spark plugs, coils, valve cover gaskets and more which all seem to fail every 40k miles. Horrible Gas mileage too. Drives so smooth it makes 100 feel like 60. Sturdy, heavy and safe and has protected me and held up incredibly well through 2 accidents. Expensive to fix at shops so be prepared to fix it yourself.

Un auto con un empuje excelente y aunque las carreteras de Puerto Rico son fatales en infraestructura,el auto se defiende muy bien .Ya llegó a las 100 mil y espero tenerlo unos años más .Si hubiese traído las culatas en metal y no en plástico,sería un auto perfecto.Como el motor (3.9 v8)fue hecho por jaguar se me hace un poco dificil conseguir las piezas .me encanta su caja ergonómica y balanceada 50/50 lo que lo hace muy estable .

I've got one (2002 V8) with less than 60K mileage. Gas cost would be a concern as it requires 93 octane. Fortunately I work vey close to home. I'm tall so it is not ideal but still able to feel confident and secure in the seat. Put a set of Pirelli's on the car and it came to life over the Goodyears. All functions still working properly. Fine automobile and very happy to have it.

This car is amazing but will drain your wallet. Try not to abuse it. It's not an ordinary car. American luxuary. Baby it! Love it.

I bought the car used with about 96K on the odometer, back in 2012. So it was already a decade old. The build quality is something you'd expect from a moderately priced luxury car. In other words, it's no Mercedes-Benz. The car ran fine during the eight months in which I drove it almost every day. The only issues was that there was a weird thumping coming from the engine. I think it just needed new spark plugs. I bought eight of them, but I couldn't even find the cylinder heads; so I never bothered to change them out. The AC didn't work, to which I never bothered to have a mechanic look at it. The horn did not work, neither did the passenger side power lock. I replaced the latter a week later and it only cost me a few bucks. The ignition started without a choke or a hiccup, even during the coldest months. It was a pleasure to drive, and reliably took me to and from work. But I wasn't happy with the gas mileage. One snowy day, the RWD caused me to dangerously fishtail through an intersection. Prompting the decision to trade it in for an AWD sedan.

These years seem to overheat a lot and no one can seem to diagnose the problem, making it very costly to repair. There are a lot of plastic parts that crack over the years which cause antifreeze to leak and the car to overheat.

I don't need two cars anymore. With this LS I had hoped to achieve 300,000 miles and have maintained it exceptionally well, dealer only, always garaged, never commuting.

Recent maintenance has NOT been corrective as much as anticipatory. I was aiming for 300,000 miles, but health situation says to sell. I have NEVER had to add oil between 5,000 mile changes. I had been planning to drive the old Route 66 to west coast. I am a retired professional engineer. I have three children and grandchildren in three different states; which leads to interstate miles.

This car meets all of my needs. I'm a tall guy at 6'4" and have plenty of leg room in the front and the lumbar support is a wonderful thing for long drives. Rides and drives comfortable and still sharp looking and can't tell the age of the car by just taking a drive down the road.

I purchased this 2002 Lincoln LS primarily because of the styling and color(pearl beige). I insisted the dealer replace the 18" "gangsta" wheels & tyres with stock wheels & tyres, which he did before I took delivery. It was the most comfortable riding car, with supple tan leather interior. The gauges/dash readouts were easy to see, as were the accessories within easy reach. Unfortunately, the suspension needed correction due to the replacement wheels/tyres, not an easy or inexpensive fix. After spending close to $600. to rectify the suspension, I decided to trade it for a more practical car for myself & my 2 cocker spaniels. So in a really nicely styled, laid out & appointed car.
