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.

My 3rd LS - 2006 Lincoln LS
By McCarNut - December 28 - 5:43 pmI have had three LSs which should tell it all. I love the handling and elegant styling. Although all three were similar looking there have been many changes & improvements, most notably interior storage. My only complaint is the weak transmission. The first two LSs have had to gears replaced. But the dealership took care of it promptly and the cars were fixed to my satisfaction.

Lincoln LS-The Lap of Luxury - 2006 Lincoln LS
By ThadRN - October 20 - 6:50 pmThe 2006 Lincoln LS is the ultimate luxury automobile.It hugs the road as it cruises along its path. Comfort is realized in every mile that I drive, being underscored by the wood trim, satin nickel accents, outstanding entertainment center, voice recognition navigation system, and smooth ride. I truly enjoy every minute that I am in my car; the price and options are value driven. The auto industry has lost a competent vehicle upon the demise of the Lincoln LS.

LS V8 - 2006 Lincoln LS
By BurtonFamily - August 6 - 7:00 pmSexy car! It just doesnt like to go slow (or maybe thats just me when Im driving it!) Gas mileage stinks, but we didnt buy it with economy in mind. Its not real roomy inside and the trunk space is lacking, so no long road trips for more than 2 people if you like comfort! It looks great, its fun to drive and its good to know Im driving an AMERICAN Luxury car. I feel proud pulling up to any of the competition.

Build more like this, Ford! ... - 2006 Lincoln LS
By baltobernie - January 20 - 4:46 pm... and you wouldnt be in such terrible financial shape! This vehicle replaces a 1992 STS, and has every option. At $47k, Id rather have a Lexus, but at $35k, there was nothing on the market comparable. Average fuel consumption is 22 mpg in suburban driving. An outstanding package in an understated, yet elegant product.

Best Luxury Car for the Money - 2006 Lincoln LS
By Wallzilla - October 15 - 10:56 amLincoln has always been one of the stronger US brands. The LS is an amazing car. I test drove the GS300 and the Infiniti M35. When equally equipped, each car has a similar sticker price. BUT, the most I could get off of a Lexus or an Infiniti was 3- 5%. I was able to get almost 40% off a new LS. The car is not worth its sticker, but what car is? When you factor in the discount, this is the best car for the money. The resale hit is non-exsistent when you make the right deal. Highly recommended.

LS Review - 2006 Lincoln LS
By Tim - November 20 - 11:13 amThe car is sweet on the highway, at 70 mph i can get 28 mpg, at 60 i get 29 mpg, at 45 i get 32 mpg. In the city i get 19-22 depending on stop lights and traffic. I wish the display showed instantaneous MPG readings, instead it just shows average. the radio plays CDs but not MP3s. Stereo Rocks, nice sound. The trunk does not always "pop" open when i hit the button, i have to lift it (really no big deal) Brakes squeak, i dont know if it would get better if i stuck different pads on it, i have not tried, but i asked about it. I should have gotten the GPS built in, but cash was an issue.

Lincoln LS - 2006 Lincoln LS
By LS lover - April 8 - 11:53 amThe Lincoln LS is the absolute most fun vehicle I have owned. I love taking this car on long distance trips more than I do our Lexus GS430. The seats are the absolute most comfortable I have had the pleasure of sitting in. The styling is great, the interior is even better. This is the second LS I have owned. THe only downfall I see is repair costs when something needs to be replaced. Every part on this car seems to be more expensive than the average car...including oil changes. Nonetheless, I would buy a third LS!

As good as my 5 series - 2006 Lincoln LS
By mrjwk - March 31 - 3:13 amI have only owned this car for 2 weeks, so I cant judge reliability yet. However, after owning 2 BMW 5 series sedans, I can say that this car is their equal in terms of comfort and performance. This may relate to my driving style, which is not real aggressive, so I appreciate that the suspension on the LS is tuned a little softer. Car is a joy to drive, front seats are very comfortable, and reports from the back seat are that there is plenty of room. The wood grain interior accents get lots of compliments. Stereo sound is excellent (audiophile option). Gas mileage is not great, but I knew that going in (still, in mixed driving, I am averaging 18 mpg). I would recommend this car.

WOW - 2006 Lincoln LS
By Northeast US - November 7 - 5:16 amWhat a shame Lincoln has decided to table this car. It is terrific. I am big fan of this car - I just traded my 02 LS for this one!! I liked the way my 02 handled - this handles better! In addition, this car is a headturner. You cannot go anywhere without somebody doing a double take as you go by!!! Obviously, I did not buy this car for gas mileage, but it is pretty competitive with other cars in its class. I did compare this a BMW 325xi and the Lincoln has more luxury features at a much better price. My out the door price was $35,427. I wish Lincoln would have continued to make this underrated gem. It is great to own an AMERICAN luxury car.
