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.

  I love my towncar - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Pasquale - January 25 - 10:30 pm

  I have owned 3 Lincoln Towncars since 1990 and I have loved them all. The ride is as good as any and the value is great when you compare the price of a Linclon ($30,000) to a Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, etc... ($50,000-85,000). OK you get the prestige and one-upmanship with those foreign nameplates but personally I would rather drive a Lincoln and pocket the difference in cash, but then I am just an average middleclass American.

  2005 LS V6 - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By 2005ls1 - October 11 - 11:34 pm

  Im the not so proud owner of a 05 LS V6. This car has been a royal pain since I bought it. Its got 130K kms on it now. I cant keep coils or catalytic converters on it to save my a_ _. I contacted Ford 3 times and all I got was lip service from there complaint desk. Ive been stranded so many times and spent so much money on this piece of garbage in repairs its ridiculous. I was planning on buying a MKS but after all this pain its not going to happen.

  Lincoln LS Luxury with attitude - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Doug - October 6 - 4:30 am

  Prior to buying this vehicle the only concern I had was fuel economy. Turns out this car does well on long trips. Just did a drive from British Columbia to Yuma return. On the average I got approx. 26 MPG. If you use the power you pay the price. Hold it under 70 MPH and youll be happy. I bought this vehicle as a lease return I cannot find anything wrong with the car, however I took it in for some minor repairs and was pleased with my treatment from Ford. I have owned about 15 new Fords over the past 30 years. I am not the least disappointed in this car. It is a treat to drive & gets lots of compliments. Handles well in snow.

  Good ride - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Socalteddy - August 11 - 10:43 am

  This is a good car for the money. I enjoy the ride and overall comfort. My next car will be the BMW 525. I will spend the extra money to get the higher level of quality found and performance in the BMW products. The LS was purchased because of the price point and ride quality.

  Beware - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By 2005ls2 - July 12 - 7:33 am

  I purchased my 2005ls in 2006 with 20,000 miles on it. Now has 60,000. Nice body style but... Buyer beware! I have had a lot of trouble with this car and its in the shop again today. Always a problem with coils, the engine and other things. Reliability is very poor. I believe there should be recalls for these problems. Can any one help?

  Good sports car - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Eddie B - June 2 - 2:50 pm

  I purchased this 2005 LS used with 23000 miles on it. So far its been a fairly nice car to drive. I was however, expecting a bit more from a Lincoln. Im 60 years old and basically have always owned a sports car......3 T-birds in a row...... I wanted to move up to a more comfortable riding vehicle. The Lincoln doesnt ride as well as I would like it to. It is the best handling car Ive ever owned though and Ive had a few Corvettes in my time. All in all, for the price, its been very good so far.

  Love My New LS - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Ann - May 24 - 10:23 pm

  I 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 Dan Boone - May 11 - 1:23 pm

  Driven mostly on short trips and very satisfied with mileage in town, 20 MPG. On a 2550 mile trip this past summer we experienced 31 MPG. Ride is very comfortable.

  I 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
