Overview & Reviews
The LS features a new front fascia for 2005, and the automatic transmission has been tweaked yet again for improved shift feel and quality.
- Confident steering and handling, optional 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.

Love My New LS - 2005 Lincoln LS
By Ann - May 24 - 10:23 pmI just purchased a new 2005 LS & love it. Since the new 2006s are out, I got a great price. I plan to drive this car for a long time so the year model wasnt an issue for me. My friends are all quite impressed. One remarked that it was so quiet that it didnt sound like a car, it sounded more like a kitten purring. So far, Im getting 19 mpg city driving & I havent tried it on highway driving yet.

By Ed Vassar - February 20 - 8:46 amI havent found a lot I dont like about my LS. It has all the power I need and then some. I think its very sporty looking to be a four door. I like the way it handles

Enjoying A True Bargain American Origina - 2005 Lincoln LS
By Jay Blender - January 10 - 9:00 pmThje LS is my third Lincoln. I began with the 92 Continental which was wonderful until I traded it for the 98 Town Car Touring Edition: the original Touring Edition in Red. What a terrific road car. Ive never driven a 2 ton car that handled as confidentially at the 98 Touring Edition Town Car. Reluctantly, I had to sell it when I moved. The LS apparently was engineered on the successes of the Touring Edition for its tight, quiet and quite fast. It is safe and reflects well on American engineering. It gives about 80% of the performance of the BMW 540 for about twenty-thousand dollars less. Its also roomier and far better styled. BMW wouldnt be my choice now.

The Lincoln LS is better than your ride! - 2005 Lincoln LS
By Joey G. - December 29 - 11:23 amI have driven plenty or cars and trucks, but the LS is by far the best. I love the speed my V-8 has and how handles all conditions is crazy. If you are thinking of buying a BMW,Caddy,or Mercedes you must try the LS first. Audi, Thunderbird,Volvo,and Saab dont even come close.

Good Stuff - 2005 Lincoln LS
By Marjan - December 8 - 7:30 amPurchased with 13K on it, coming off lease. Great price as these cars dont hold their value. Great value if you plan on driving it for 10 years like I do. Bang for the buck, much better than comparable BMW, Acura, Lexus and Mercedes products. Im very happy with this product so far.

Lincoln LS is sleeper - 2005 Lincoln LS
By Eric A. - April 21 - 2:00 amThe Lincoln LS Sport is a tremendous automobile for the money. The performance of a Euro at a much more affordable cost.

L6 Fantastic Value - 2005 Lincoln LS
By Paul Roberts - March 3 - 7:46 amI purchased a 2005 Lincoln LS w/ V6 in June. Between the Dealer, Lincoln & Ford Financing, I was able to snag this gem for $23,000. Its basic for a Lincoln with only special paint as an option. Since its a Lincoln though basic is pretty cush. The ride is great and there are tons of nice features that you wont find on an Accord, Camry and Passat. The fit and finsih are every bit as good as the best of the European and Japanese models. Im delighted with my purchase!

Excellent in all ways. - 2005 Lincoln LS
By Glynn - November 26 - 5:00 amThis is one the best cars I have had the pleasure to drive and own. After test driving this car I did not even want to look at any others. I used to long for a BMW or Mercedes, but no longer. I am now a loyal customer for many years to come.
