This Year's Model Updates:

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.

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

    I 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.

  • Great car except for transmission shift points - 2006 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Bought a 2006 LS in Dec of 2011, It had 62K on it and Ive put about 5K on it to date (9/2013). I like the car. I wanted to buy and American RWD sedan and there werent many choices. We already own a V8 Charger and I wanted something different. It was a Pontiac G8 or this. G8 would not accommodate my 15 y.o. in the back seat. More cramped. I did have to replace the heater control valve near the radiator. It was blowing hot air from the A/C. A disappointment on a car with only 67K on it. Ive had no other issues with the car. It runs well and has lots of power and handles very well. It has a nice firm ride. Fun around off ramps. Very nice THX stereo too. If it wasnt for the trans, Id be 5s

  • Lincoln LS-The Lap of Luxury - 2006 Lincoln LS

    The 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.

    Car handles fine. Gas mileage needs improvement. This is my first LS, four prior Town Cars, would not repeat this purchase again. Seats are the most uncomfortable I have ever owned. Have had this vehicle one year and in the process of replacing it.

    Sexy 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 -

    ... 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 -

    Lincoln 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.

  • My 2nd LS - 2006 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I recently purchased a 2006 LS Ultimate. This is my second LS. I had previously owned a 2002 LS V8 Sport. We were so impressed with it that when looking to refresh our car this year, we considered only the LS. We decided to purchase new because the Ford Family pricing (in Canada) and other incentives brought the price in line with what we wanted to spend. I love this car. However, I dont love everything about it. The rear seat leg room is poor. The fuel economy is merely acceptable, but the Premium (91+) requirement means spending even more on gas. The interior is beautiful, with real wood trim and premium leather. Power adjustable everything with memory is great with two drivers.

  • Fits Me - 2006 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I have had my LS since April of 06. Bought it brand spanking new. I traded my Mercury Mountaineer for it because I wanted a car something sporty for a 40+ yr old female, good looking. It growled at me at the dealership showroom. The performance is excellent. It will git up an go. The color, Silver/Platinum nice. Now, the only problem I have is the rumbling noise in the dash. Supposedly it is coming from air in the heater line?
