Overview & Reviews

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.

• Confident steering and handling, optional V8 delivers plenty of smooth and quiet power, comfortable and roomy interior, optional THX-certified sound system.

• Manual transmission no longer offered, build quality lags behind German and Japanese competitors, not as nimble as other sport sedans in its class.

  Almost but not there yet! - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By Kingster - November 26 - 11:36 am

  I purchased my 2004 LS V8 Unlimited in Jan. of 2007. I test drove it and purchased within hours. I loved the ride and power but was unsure about the transmission. Although I had doubts it was a better car for me than my GTP. I love the V8, nav system and cooled seats are wonderful. But I am getting more dissimpressed with the transmission everyday.

  My Lincoln LS - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By yungdogg06 - October 17 - 8:28 am

  This car is pretty nice. I bought it in 08 with 35,000mi. In 2010 I started having problems. Transmission went out. Somewhere around $2500 to fix. Shortly after I noticed small things were breaking. A/c vent breaking off, driver chair back broke off, traction control button fell off, eyeglass holder wont stay latched, side rear view mirrors wont adjust, fuel buttons broke... And soon after the rear differential jacked up on me. Thats another $1500 that I payed out of my pocket. If thats not bad enough, just last week on a road trip.... My shifter cable popped off, wrapped around the drive shaft, ripped of trans cover, ripped off sensors and more. Guess theyre not built to last.

  Lincoln LS V/6 - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By w5ihv - October 16 - 10:00 am

  I have just returned from a 5,000 mile trip in mu new Lincoln LS, in general the automobile handled well, the comfort level was good. Mileage, (combined) was 27.8. I do not care for the requirement for 91 octane fuel. The automobile interior noise level is higher than I had expected. The LS performed well under some bad conditions, with water over the highway. In general I am satisfied, but not really impressed.

  LS V8 - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By nick p - February 3 - 10:30 pm

  I love this car, but it has some problems. The car is very jumpy and has very bad MPG. My transmission went out around 92000 miles my catalytic converter is messing up, the 6 disk cd changer has disk error every time i try to change cds. My driver side back door doesnt lock by its self any more, but other than that the car is great. Its fun to drive has very good get up, very good sound system.

  Mechanical nightmare - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By dstuartbond - December 15 - 11:03 am

  From the day I drove it off the lot it has been in the shop three times for transmission repairs (starting at under 1,000 miles). The engine stalled out on me and would only run on a few cylinders at 80 miles (yes 80). It is now in the shop for the third time for a rear main engine seal that they cant seem to fix (over three weeks in the shop now). The Electronics keep going out (navigation, stereo front power windows and moon roof) all at the same time. They stop functioning for days at a time and then start working again. The dealer has not been able to isolate this problem. The dealer is beside themselves on all of these issues.

  Blind spots - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By zee holly - December 3 - 2:00 am

  Front head rests are too wide, blocks view. Back head rests blocked too much of the back window, therefore, we remove them when there are passengers in the back. Just too many blind spots. This is our 2nd LS (2001). I dont think we will buy another one.

  Upgraded to the LS - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By Rob - April 23 - 6:43 am

  Had a new Lincoln Zephyr and feel that I have upgraded to an older LS V8, better handling, performance, and overall comfort. at 1/3 the price for a used LS.

  2004 LSV8 - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By Jim - February 20 - 12:20 pm

  I have owned this car since 12/06. Been to the dealer 3 times with coil problems. Each time it was fixed at no charge. Other then the rattles in the doors, that I fxed with some grease I love this car. The heated and A/C seats are great as is the 2 zone climate control. The engine is strong and I like the SST transmission. Seats are very comfortable even on long trips. The Instruments panel is dated in my opinion and I cant read the speedo to easy from my seating position. These are just minor grips. I gace up my Chyrsler 300C to my wife for this ride and I have no complaints. If they made an 07 I would buy that next as I enjoy this car that much.

  First time owner of a Lincoln - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By Rodney Smith - July 15 - 2:00 am

  I just received my new Lincoln in February and have not really taken it to the max. But so far with trips to Maryland and Washington DC the car performed very well. The only problem that I have encounted is the price of the 93 octane gas that is required to operate the vehicle. And with gas prices going up this might be a problem for many consumers and myself.
