This Year's Model Updates:

The LS' already handsome appearance can be further enhanced with the LSE appearance package that includes 17-inch two-tone Blade Grey wheels, a unique front fascia, round foglights, modified Blade Grey grille with color-keyed upper trim piece, side rocker panels and rear valance, low profile spoiler, dual stainless-steel exhaust tips and LSE floor mats. Lincoln makes an in-dash CD changer standard for 2002 (with Alpine Audiophile components on Sport models) and restyles the 16-inch alloy wheels on non-Sport V6 and V8 versions. A Vehicle Communication System, which provides a voice-activated Motorola Timeport mobile phone, is optional and includes safety and security services, route guidance and access to weather reports, stock quotes and sports scores. Three new colors replace three old ones.

Pros:
  • Confident steering and handling, choice of either a V6 or V8 engine, comfortable and roomy interior, clean exterior design.
Cons:

  • Everything I thiught it would be - 2002 Lincoln LS

    Best car Ive ever owned. After 5000 miles, not a single problem or defect of any kind.

  • So Far, So Good! - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Ive had my Lincoln LS for one year now and have had no problems whatsoever. The 252 HP V8 delivers very good acceleration and passing other cars is a breeze. Fuel economy is the cars one weak spot. The transmission is smooth shifting (nearly as smooth as my old Buick Regal) and throttle input is good. I bought the LSE trim which has a firmer suspension than the standard LS, so road imperfections are more noticable, but the ride is by no means harsh. The trunk is large enough, but fairly shallow. Even though the design is conservative, it still gets attention from onlookers because there are so few on the road. The LS is everything a luxury car should be.

    Only had it a week, but the car struck me the first time I laid eyes on it. Smooth understated power, there when you need it. Very quiet cabin.

  • Best Car I ever drove - 2002 Lincoln LS

    I have owned my 2001 LS (V8 Sport) for 7 months. A great handling / performance car. Compares well with BMW 5 series for a lot less money. The early bugs seemed to have been worked out. If you are considering a Lexus GS, BMW 5, Audi A6, Acura or Mercedes E, drive this car before buying. Then use the savings to buy your wife a new car so she will not take away your LS

  • They STILL dont believe its a Lincoln! - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Actually, Ive had my 2000 LS since 7/00 and have had no problems. A lot of great options for the money. Ive driven in all types of weather and this (rear wheel drive) car is very sure footed. Handles like no other car Ive ever driven! (Mercedes E320, Caddy Deville) Even now, they ask me what kind of car it is. Wouldnt want to own anything else!

  • A hidden jaguar - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    A great friend of mine has a 2002 Lincoln LS but the engine is the 4.0 jag engine which isnt compatible with the transmission which holds up surprisingly. The person before us was a complete idiot of putting a jag engine in it. But it is B-E-A utiful it rides like a calm sea current they interior is greatly put together some cracks in the seats and window controls blemishes it. I have never , never have found such beauty in a car much rather something built by ford. I automatically feel in love with it when I drove even though it was stuck in over drive 1. lovely just lovely, but always get a car fax report when making a used car purchase you may never know what you find !

  • Great Car - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I love my Lincoln. The power is adequate and the comfort is exceptional. I am looking forward for an improved power version of this vehicle in the future (320 - 350 horse power).

  • First Lincoln! - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Couldnt afford my 2005 Nissan Maxima anymore (stay away from that car). I needed something inexpensive, and so I found this 2002 Lincoln LS V8 with 167k on it for $4500. The ride is very smooth and comfortable. It has plenty of get up and go. Ive never driven a V8 before, and boy do I love it!!! Even though its 10 years old, plenty of people compliment how good it looks. A few things dont work like my heater, rear defroster, and horn(clock-spring). I think an engine mount is broken,because theres a slight bump into reverse. Other than that she runs/shifts smoothly. It does require premium fuel,and I get about 14-18 city, and 23-27 hwy. Its a pretty rare car,which makes me like it more.

    My Lincoln LS V8 has been the best car I have ever owned. At 68000 miles; it has yet to have one mechanical problem. I am still running on the original brakes, tires and battery - and all Ive done is change the oil and rotate the tires as scheduled. It has been a blast to drive. When I bought it I was also considering the BMW 5 series and the Jaguar X and S Types. I think I got the best bang for my buck. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a fun car to drive, lots of power, great handling - at a very reasonable price.

  • 2001 LS v8 Sport - 2002 Lincoln LS

    Have owned my LS 9 months and have driven it from coast to coast and back and from the mid Atlantic coast to Florida. This is the best handling most responsive vehicle I have owned, and there have been a lot from Cadillacs down.
