2000 Lincoln LS Reviews from North America

Tires replace twice, brake pads once, coil packs started failing at time of sale.

Awesome car - I will NEVER own a car that is this comfortable or clever as long as I live.

The only feature I did not use was the rain sensing wipers... They were effective, just abrupt and annoying. All other features were exactly what I needed and worked exactly as they needed to. My favourite features were the automatic heated wiper parks (wiper blades NEVER iced up) and the easy access entry (I'm 170cm 65kg, but this was still awesome).

The driving comfort is unsurpassed in any vehicle I have owned or driven since, and I had no reliability issues aside from brakes and tires. I have nothing but regrets for selling this car!

Had one ball joint replaced.

A couple of hoses.

Had a vacuum leak. It was rather expensive, as it was under the manifold.

Driver side seat belt doesn't always retract, and when I exit the car, it sometimes catches in the door.

That's about it. I have kept the oil changed.

I love the ride & handling.

It's nice & quiet. Very little road noise.

Decent fuel mileage.

Well, I've had my Lincoln for over 5 years now, and it's never given me any problems until now.

The thermostat needs to be replaced, but that's it, it has 200k miles+ and it's barely given me a problem. I'm very satisfied with the reliability of my vehicle, I'm thinking of getting an '06, but still thinking. I've heard many people whining about their LS breaking down all the time, never happened to me :)

I like the handling, the ride comfort, the performance for a full size sedan, the looks of the car, the seats are comfortable, just love the LS.

2 window regulators.

Broken sway bar link.

Airbag light.

Moisture in headlights.

Moisture in taillights.

Radio mute button randomly activates.

Replaced tie rod.

Leather seats are supportive and comfortable.

Alpine radio is satisfactory.

Handling and braking are exceptional.

Engine output is satisfactory; sufficient torque across the whole powerband.

The body design is beautiful and elegant, but could use a little more flare to set it apart from other, more vanilla, vehicles.

Transmission shift schedule is thrashy, and seems as though lowering the shift point at full throttle could possibly make the car faster by keeping the engine within its powerband.

I've had this car since June of 2010, and it has been a hoot to drive/own. After 13,000 miles, I''m still just as enamored with it as I was when it was first purchased.

The interior is beautifully wrapped in leather, though the faux wood trim doesn't quite make the grade. The Alpine premium radio sounds great in comparison to the stock system, but falls short of a true Audiophile system.

As for overall quality and finish of this vehicle, I'm not especially impressed. Albeit this particular example of the LS has been treated like a queen since it was purchased, there have been a few unsettling instances where I really wonder whether I will be shopping for another vehicle soon. I have already noticed numerous other reviews of this vehicle, complaining about how poor these vehicles perform in relation to longevity; but I'm convinced that these people are only kicking themselves for not understanding what would be involved in the purchase of what is essentially an Americanized, British Luxury vehicle. I mean c'mon, everyone knows Jags are a pain in the keister, what makes one think that this one will not be.

Overall, I would say that the Lincoln LS is truly a budget luxury vehicle, all the way down to the cheap interior trim and underpowered engine. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING!
