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:

    My 2nd LS. I had a 2004 LS. I bought a 2002 LS for my daughter. Bought both used. Highly recommend. My daughter loves her car. Fun to drive. Highly reliable. Safe. Between the 2 cars have over 100,000 miles with only one issue at all. If you can get one, get it. You will not be sorry.

  • LS Sport V8 - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    The Lincon LS is a car that has been overlooked by the public thanks to Lincolns poor job of advertising and promoting car. I have been stopped numerous times ith people asking me what car is that . It is understated, extremely comfortable and fun to drive. Lincoln has called me three times so far to see how I like the car.

  • I expected nothing less from Lincoln - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I really enjoy this vehicle and have had no major problem out of it. I only drive it on trips and the performance is outstanding. The gas mileage is great on the road but around town not the best. I want a Town Car, which will provide the room I want.

  • LS is great American car - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

  • Replaced SHO - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I just traded my 1998 SHO on the LS. Had 87,500 miles on the SHO. While I miss the SHO this is a fun car drive. Neighbor with a 99 BMW 525 was impressed with the LS. I prefer to compare to the SHO. Love it so far hope it is a good car. Considered the Lexus ES 300. Choose the LS based on additional power and handling.

  • Lincoln LS-C V-8 Sport - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Absolutely wonderful to drive. Smooth shifting and marvelous feel on the road. Acceleration is great on the powerful V-8. Comfortable firm seats. A beauty to look at on road.

  • Bang for the Buck - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Very reliable car, better than the two BMWs I owned. Smooth, quiet ride. Tranny is starting to go at 94K but thats normal for these cars. Ill get it replaced. Looks great and other than the two coil packs that failed and the locked up rear caliper the car has been a real joy. Ill keep it another 94K and laugh at all the dopes with the leased status symbols they can barely afford.

  • What a dissapointment! - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I was so happy when i purchased my LS because i always admired the car since Lincoln introduced the car in 2000, but that would be short lived. The LS has major issues! After a month of ownership, i had to pay $450 to replace the multi-function switch because my signal lights were acting up. Second, i had a engine misfire (which is a common problem on this vehicle) had to replace 3rd coil, all spark plugs and both value covers which cost $1100. Last, my airbag light came on and it cost another $1000 to repair. I took the car to the Ford dealership for service and repair. After 1 year ownership of the vehicle, i had to pay $2500 in non- maintance repair. Stay Away from Ford/Lincoln and the LS.

  • Good looking, comfortable cruiser - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I purchased my 02 V8 in May of 09. Only 58k on the odometer at the time, and the previous owners seemed to take good mechanical care of it. It is a great looking car! Shine it up and take it for a cruise on a sunny afternoon and it still turns a few heads. Clean lines and a classic "Euro" look means it has aged very well, compared to something like the CTS. I find the ergonomics/levels of comfort perfect for my 62" figure, but as others have said, the interior materials need more refinement. The ride is smooth on most surfaces, but gets uncomfortable over rough pavement. Performance is good, cant go wrong with the ol V8/RWD setup. Fast depreciation makes for a good used value.
