This Year's Model Updates:

V6 models now come with standard traction control and optional AdvanceTrac. All models receive a glow-in-the-dark manual trunk release and child safety-seat anchor points. The sport package has a new 17-inch chrome wheel design and a mini spare tire and wheel instead of the previous 16-inch nonmatching aluminum wheel (both late availability). Inside, there is an additional power point, a revised cupholder design, an optional in-dash six-disc CD changer and an optional mirror-mounted compass. The height-adjustable rear-seat head restraints have been deleted from V8 automatics. Four new exterior colors are offered. Lincoln now offers complimentary maintenance at no additional charge for the first three years/36,000 miles in service.

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

    Absolutely reliable, elegant vehicle.

  • Great car - 2001 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I bought my 2001 LS as a used former Hertz rental car. It is by far the best car I have ever owned. Faster and more powerful than a BMW, styled like a Mercedes, comfort like a Lincoln! I love it.

  • Excellent Vehicle - 2001 Lincoln LS
    By -

    The Lincoln LS is an excellent alternative to the foreign sport sedan models. The car has an excellent value quotient, both new and used. The vehicle I own has been quite reliable and the dealer takes care of it as needed.

  • Problems with Tire Vibration - 2001 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I have had problems with tire vibration since I have had the vehicle. The original tires were replaced, but the problem still exists at highway speeds. This will probably be my first and last Lincoln. I have had more problems with this vehicle than all of my previous vehicles combined.

  • Six years and still going strong - 2001 Lincoln LS
    By -

    This has been a great car. Recently rolled 90k. Only significant non- routine maintenance has been recent replacement of a coil. I dont even think about it being 6 years old. Its always been fun to drive - comfortable, quiet, quick, and nimble. My wife is always trying to take it away from me. I dont know what else to say. Originally bought it over a Jag X-type which was smaller and pricier for comparable features. My LS is loaded with everything but heated seats (not needed in the South). Everything (but CD - see below) works like the day I drove it off the lot.

  • Best Vehicle Ive Owned - 2001 Lincoln LS
    By -

    This car has been the most reliable and best buit vehicle Ive owned. Other vehicles Ive owned include; Medcedes 320D, Mustang GT, Corvette, Volks Vagon, Opel GT...... This car can also take a hit from the rear and come out looking like nothing happened.

  • Worst car I ever owned - 2001 Lincoln LS
    By -

    problems since day 1, terrible reliability with this car. I wont even start listing the issues cause it pains me. Im a mechanic and this is one of the worst cars to work on. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from the LS.

  • Great Car - 2001 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I compared it to BMW, Lexus and Mercedes. It was a much better value. I got an American car with better styling and performance for at least $10k less. I can also find my car in the parking lot because there arent 1000 others just like it.

  • Luvin my new 01 LS - 2001 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Just bought my used 2001 LS last week. Im still in awe about this vehicle. I got a V6, maybe slightly underpowered but I dont mind it. The ride is smooth, seats are very comfortable like riding around in a plush lazy boy. Mine has the Alpine CD-6 indash changer w/the audiophile speaker system....ROCKS!

  • Best Car ever. - 2001 Lincoln LS

    I owned a 01 Lincoln LS until 12/23/09 and the reason for that is someone rear ended me and pushed me into oncoming traffic i then collided with a mustang i had 3 people plus me in the car we all walked away with just scraps and bruises that lincoln LS saved my family and my lives I will never drive anything else i will only feel safe in the lincoln so i am now shopping for a another one....
