Overview & Reviews

Lincoln has discontinued the V6 engine for 2006 and trimmed the car's remaining styles down to a single V8 Sport model, which includes a chrome grille with body-color surround, round foglamps and body-color rear license plate trim. Updated wheel designs and two new option packages round out the changes for '06.

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

• Lack of a manual transmission keeps it from true sport sedan status, build quality lags behind German and Japanese competitors, not as nimble as other sport sedans in its class.

  Lincoln LS: Disappointment - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By D Waters - June 28 - 5:13 pm

  When we first got the car, I was somewhat (not very) excited, but now Im just disappointed. There are several pros and cons. PRO: The seats are pretty comfortable in the front. CON: In the rear seats, I noticed that this strange mix of dust and dirt blows in when you open the vents. PRO: At times, when youre slowly inching along (around 30 mph), you can get 40 mpg( the average is 16 mpg). CON: the radio is awful. PRO: So far, this car seems to be quite reliable. CON: The rear seats are very uncomfortable. CON: It was way overpriced for what its worth. (another)CON: This car just cant seem to stay in competition with foreign automakers. Were soon going to switch to a Mercedes S65 AMG.

  American Muscle and Style - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By Manny - April 28 - 5:16 pm

  Picked up a pre-owned 2006 with 32k on it. Love the ride, acceleration, and the interior. Im tired of all the gadgetry in all the other cars. I just want to drive, not be freaking entertained. Love the SelectShift and blowing the doors off of Beemers.

  Riddick review of lincoln ls - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By John Riddick - February 23 - 6:00 am

  This is my third LS and I absolutely love it. All have been the V8, so cant really comment on the V6. Its sporty enough and responsive enough to be a great car, and for the type, I dont think it was that expensive.

  I think my next car is German - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By Craig VonStraten - October 22 - 8:23 am

  I love this car to tell you the truth, but Im going to be forced to buy a German vehicle next (maybe Audi or MB). Its overpriced, there are more features on a M-Benz C230 Sport Sedan than on this vehicle. Not so impressed with leather. Pretty nice handling. Ive also noticed that D Waters is right! My LS Doesnt only blow dust in from the back rows, but from the front rows as well. It might attract more business if its called a V6, cause no one really wants a very weak V8, they want a Powerful V6. Luxury options are too pricy, and I might say the exterior is, well, ugly. However, the Interior is pretty nice. On an overall, I would recommend a BMW 330i or a MB C280 or Audi A4.

  2006 Lincoln ls v8 sport - premium - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By Mark - September 27 - 11:40 am

  I just purchased a 2006 Lincoln ls v8 sport. 78k miles for $13,000. First off I cannot believe that a car that went for $45,000 just 3 years ago was this cheap! I just got out of an 06 GTO with 400 hp so I was a little skeptical of the 280 hp v8. Premium interior, sound system, power moonroof, advancetrac, heated/cooled seats, are all excellent features. Especially the surround sound . Roomy, comfortable ride! Throttle lags a bit especially in low gears, (compared to gto) very stiff sporty suspension handles nice and most other performance is as advertised.

  Road car heaven - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By Ian - May 24 - 2:56 am

  This is the car I have been looking for. In a world of front wheel drive sedans the rear wheel LS is a breath of fresh air. I had the fortunate experience of driving my new LS back to back wih my brother in laws BMW 535 IX. The BMW was a little faster, a little quieter and a little more agile - but not by much. Certainly not enough to justify the huge price difference. The LS handles well and looks good. I had the pleasure of driving a 2003 V6 model on a solo road trip from Florida to Michigan a few years ago and never tired of getting back in after a long days drive. A great drivers car. My 2006 V8 is even better and I like it more each time I drive it.

  2006 LS-last on the lot - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By J. Pasquale - April 3 - 6:20 pm

  I looked at a number of large sedans-- ES & GS Lexus-BMW 5 -M45 Infiniti--- even a Toyota Avalon-- I drove this one last and bought it the same day- silver w/a black leather interior-The LS was by far the best value for the dollar (by thousands): rear wheel drive and balanced suspension and almost 300hp for plenty of pickup-It has a premium interior design--plenty of headroom- hip and leg comfort for a over 6 foot frame--- options include air & heated seats-- moonroof, smart keys, etc..a complete package with the exception of navigation--but this was the last one on the lot.

  2006 Lincoln LS....Great Car! - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By GML - March 31 - 12:20 am

  The 2006 LS is a great car that should not have been discontinued! The current MKZ lacks a V8 engine, and therefore, is not as fun to drive. My mother had an 02 LS and an 04 LS. The 06 is fun to drive and has great pick-up and power. The interior is comfortable and well-designed in my opinion. Like the Continental, which was also a great car, Lincoln no longer makes the car. However, if youre looking to buy a used car, then check out the LS!

  DONT BUY AN LINCOLN LS - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By jen0 - March 14 - 7:17 am

  Worst car I HAVE EVER OWNED - If I got into all the details and probs Id be here ALL DAY. Put it this way, check engine light was on so many times in the 6 years I owned I cant even recall how many times. Check charging alert - replaced the $200 alternator and $130 battery and STILL ON. This car is an ELECTRONIC NIGHTMARE - I wish I had got rid of this MONEY PIT before I found out my rear A-frame was rotted out beyond fixing, wont pass inspection and isnt safe. Oh and lets not forget its 17" tires get CHEWED through like nothing I have ever seen before- cant even find a decent tire with decent tread rating all below 500. OMG I get hives just thinking about that hunk of crap 02 LS V8
