This Year's Model Updates:

The V8 Premium Sport is now called the V8 Ultimate. Minor suspension and transmission upgrades provide less noise and smoother shifts. Sirius Satellite Radio is now a dealer-installed option.

Pros:
  • Confident steering and handling, optional V8 delivers plenty of smooth and quiet power, comfortable and roomy interior, optional THX-certified sound system.
Cons:
  • Manual transmission no longer offered, build quality lags behind German and Japanese competitors, not as nimble as other sport sedans in its class.

    I have no complaints - just wish the gas mileage were a little better. It handles so much better than the Town Car I traded in on it. Its quick handling and accelaration have prevented two would-be bad accidents. It is the best car Ive ever driven, let alone owned and I have owned some wonderful autos. And the service by the dealer has been great. This is my second Lincoln LS. I hope I can always have an LS!

  • Perfect Sedan for 2 Years Now! - 2004 Lincoln LS
    By -

    We bought this car used in 2011 while I was expecting our first child. I would not settle for a vehicle if safety was in question. The comfort and space were perfect for my back and belly! The driver side easy-exit seat was awesome! I felt safe riding home from the hospital with my new born daughter. In the time since we purchased it we have only had to do basic maintenance- oil changes, transmission fluid & air filter etc. Coming up on needing new tires. Apart from that I have had No Issues and it has been a blessing. Wish it handled better though. When my daughter is not with me Id like a more exciting drive, but it might be best that it doesnt handle like a sports car...

  • New car bargain - 2004 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Bought this new 2004 base LS, with the only option being the Ceramic White Metallic paint, MSRP of $33,295 for $22,000, with $5,000 rebate, additional $1,000 rebate for trading a Buick Park Ave, plus $5,295 additional dealer discount. For $22,000 - great car. Had to return for transmission adjustment (2-3 upshift) during first week.

  • My first LS...fun so far! - 2004 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I traded in a 2001 Linc Continental for a 2004 Linc LS V8. So far, so good, with a few exceptions - the heated/cooled seat fans are noisy. The steering wheel squeaks. The transmission gets "confused". The front seats, especially the drivers seat, needs to go back a tad further. I am 5-10" and with my foot on the pedal, my knee is slightly bent - it shouldnt be. Definately a sporty feel - not a "comfort" ride like the old Continental. Overall, I am satisfied.

  • The best US built luxury sport sedan - 2004 Lincoln LS

    An extremely capable sport sedan. Good road manners, quiet interior, excellent drivetrain, excellent sound system.

    Excellent power and driving, however I am not impressed with the plastic bumpers, and am not impressed with how flimsy the rear quarter panel is attached - you can literally shake it wiwth your hand. However, the car is extremely light and they had to save weight.

  • The best car I ever owned - 2004 Lincoln LS
    By -

    This is my first Lincoln after owning two Sables. What a difference in the performance. I have the LS V8 Sport and the power is outstanding and the vehicle is very quiet free of wind noise. Appearance and styling are very good and gets quite a few glances when I drive by. Interior is very nice and the leather seats are very soft and comfortable. Stereo system is fantastic with the radio and the CD player. Overall this vehicle is very well put together and I hope to keep it for quite a while. Handling is exceptional in the rain and on snow. Very nice car.

  • Half a loaf - 2004 Lincoln LS

    I have always owned Fords. Generally like em. Stepped up with this one and what a disappointment. Lincoln forgot to pay attention to detail. The transmission takes weeks to downshift so the V-8 power is squandered. The "automatic rain sensitive" wipers are a constant irritant. Throttle tip-in acts more like a 4-cylinder turbo than a V8. The dumb "all windows down and sunroof open" feature activates if the button on the fob is accidentally pushed so the car filled with rain one night. In general, a great potential that has been wrecked by lack of attention to detail. Should have gotten an Impala and saved the money.

    Have had our LS appearance package 6 cyl for just about a month. Got an excellent deal and so far the car is performing up to expectations. Build quality appears to be first rate, paint is flawless(vivid red). My first experience with Lincoln (or Ford for that matter). Been driving Audis for 2 decades and most recently a Cadillac. If the LS holds up over time it will have been a good decision. Already looking at the 06 Zeypher as a possibility for me as the LS is my wifes car.
