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.

  American luxury at its best - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By golfnut - January 27 - 1:20 am

  Traded in my 02 LS for the 06 LS. What a shame that Lincoln has decided to table this car - it is simply fantastic. Compared this car to the BMW 5 series. The Lincoln has as many, if not more luxury features at a fraction of the price. Handles smoothly and has great looks. It is a real head turner. Lincoln finally corrected the lack of interior space and added 17 inch wheels. The gas mileage is not great, but it is not terrible either. It is comparable to other cars in this class. The LS is a blast to drive and it will not break the budget. My out the door price before the trade was $33,268.

  2006 LS - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By Mike - January 2 - 12:10 pm

  I had a 2000 and 2001 LS. With Lincolns unwise demise of the LS, I decided we needed the last of the breed. As my (2000) LS has over 100K miles and the 2001 had only 60K, we traded in the 2001. We got Dark Cherry with black interior. This car is light years ahead of my 2000. Granted, mine has the V6 and the 06 is the V8, but acceleration is quick and plentiful! Fit and finish is second to none. The car is very tight. It handles better than my 00. The interior is as a Lincoln should be. With the tilt/tele steering wheel and adjustable pedals, it is easy to get the correct position. The NAV is easy to use, and the directions are easily followed. The THX system is outstanding!

  First but not my last Lincoln - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By Steve G - November 9 - 7:23 am

  I purchased my Lincoln LS just a few weeks ago and so far Im very impressed. The interior is not flashy, Ford calls it understated, and I appreciate the visual smoothness. Power and driving experience are exceptional and make the car fun to drive. The interior is comfortable for a 61 driver, with plenty of seat and steering wheel adjustments. Im getting tons of honest compliments on the car and as many requests to take it for a drive. Its too new for me to comment on gas mileage but if I can get 20 MPG average with this smooth and fast V8, Im more than happy. The Audiophile sound system is awesome as are the chrome 17 inch wheels. The leather is stiff but I hope it softens with time.

  2006 Licoln LS, Great Buy ! - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By Fatboy1904 - June 10 - 3:30 pm

  This car replaces my 2001 LS V8. I love it. Cant believe I waited to trade up my other LS, as it had almost 108K on it. It is a true shame that Lincoln decided to discontinue this car. For the price, this car blows away 3&5 Series BMW, Lexus, Acura and all the others. Everyone who rides in this car cant believe it is a Lincoln and finds the complete luxury experience that you would expect from higher end vehicles. I bought the Elite Package with power everything, heated front & REAR seats, THX audio with Navigation, HID lights etc. The engine is smooth and quiet, not to mention 280 hp is more than enough to get in trouble. The car by far out handles most cars of this weight and class.

  Excellent Car - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By gkhize - February 13 - 9:57 pm

  I put 150K on a 2001 LS without incident and then traded it for the 2006 with 5K.I have been very happy with this car in every single way and now have over 160K miles on it. The only issue Ive had was replacing the thermostat. Its a bit of a challenge and the guy changing it (me) didnt get the housing tight the first time. No issues after that. Runs great, drives great, gets decent mpg and still looks good. Id buy a new one tomorrow if they still made them.

  My Lincoln Ride - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By Robert W. Blackwood - October 25 - 8:13 am

  I really enjoy my Lincoln. It is the second L S I have Owned. My first was a 2002 LS. The power is great. it is real Quick. I tested a Chrysler 300 hemi It was quick, but did not have the luxury feel of a Lincoln. My choice was the LS.

  Lincoln Quality Not! - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By W - July 13 - 10:20 pm

  Headlights kept filling with water when it rained, the rear windows failed open on a ski trip, the light in the stereo last about a week. They replaced the headlights three times with headlights that filled with water, told me I didnt know how to operate the stereo four times until they finally replaced the whole unit. Repair the windows twice. Then the plastic imitation chrome started flaking off the interior panels and the sun roofed leaked. The car started to idle like a D-10 CAT in a coal mine. Called in quits after a year and a whopping 8,000 miles, lemon lawed it and gave it a new home in the dealers junk yard. That was the same year Ford was "At Ford, quality is job one".

  My New Baby! - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By Mr_Ken - December 11 - 9:10 am

  I finally got the car Ive wanted for 4 yrs! Traded in my Avalon, for a sporty and more comfortable car. Ive tried BMWs (3,5,7) and the 3&5 were painful to sit in, the 7 was maybe equal but a few k more... The Lexus, Toyotas, Nissan, Acura, Honda, Infiniti never had the right mix and most had too much lumbar support that couldnt be backed off enough (my Avalon had front bench seat). I dont expect to get the high miles Ive gotten with my Toyota, but I sure am going to have a lot more fun and comfort when trying to get there! I know I irritated lots of salemen with 30+ test drives, but I put on the miles and I dont want to sacrifice if I dont have too and I dont!

  This vehicle is pretty amazing - 2006 Lincoln LS
  By McLovin - December 2 - 8:56 pm

  I have always liked the design of the Lincoln LS. Its smooth lines and luxurious interior give a lot of imports a reason for concern. The lines look very similar to that of the Mercedes Benz E-Class of recent years. Though at this point you will only find it used, buying one will be all but disappointing. I found a 2006 with 7900 miles on it and its incredible. The V8 power kicks when you need it, the interior has every amenity you can possibly need and the overall appearance of the LS is solid. Rumor has it that Lincoln will introduce an MKS in mid 2008 (They have the MKZ and the MKX now). Is it reintroduction if the LS? Well have to wait and see.

  I love this car! The ride is great! I cant believe that this car is being discontinued. This is the kind of car that Ford Motor Co should build around. American luxury that is amazing to drive no matter how you drive! This car is a keeper!
