  disapointment - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By jonny blazer - October 17 - 10:00 am

  when i first bought this car, i thought its was an amazing car, but as time wore on, so did the quality and transmission. the LS had very little reliability, ihad to return my car to the daleship for repairs about six times- about three times to fix the ac, once for stuck windows, once for broken interior locks, and another time for engine problems. as a driver, i amvery disapointed in the build and quality of this car.

  2002 Lincoln LS V8 (2nd review) - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By vkmaxima - June 22 - 6:17 am

  This is my second review of my LS. Ive owned it a little over a year now, and I still like it. The fuel economy is not the best, but then again it is a V8. I average anywhere from 13-15 mpg city, and 17-22 mpg highway on 91 octane fuel. In this past year Ive change all four tires, rear brakes and rotors, alternator, air filter, cabin filter, and a few bulbs. Now I have to fix both front upper control arms,spark and coil plugs,and clock-spring. I purchased this car with 167k miles, so obviously repairs were expected, but I now have 183k. Thats 16k miles in one year, I like to drive a lot. I use Pennzoil Synthetic Blend 5W-30 instead of 5W-20, it runs much smoother. Overall a good car.

  So Far, So Good! - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By KHoffman - December 9 - 9:36 am

  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.

  A hidden jaguar - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By roman_capps - May 19 - 5:38 pm

  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 !

  First Lincoln! - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By vkmaxima - March 9 - 2:22 pm

  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.

  THE BEST AMERICAN SPORTS SEDAN - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By LOUIE CABALLERO - November 22 - 10:00 am

  I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE NEW 02 LS MODEL.I TRADED A 00 LS V8 FOR THE LSE V8. I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE BETTER RIDE QUALITY AND MUCH BETTER ENGINE PERFORMANCE.I AM ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF THE 03 V8 MODEL WITH ALL THE CAR ISSUES ADDRESSED. MUCH NICER INTERIOR AND INCREASED HP AND TORQUE. OVERALL AN EXCELLENT AMERICAN MADE CAR THAT DESERVES A TEST DRIVE IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A BENZ,AUDI, OR BMW. TRUST ME YOU WILL BE VERY IMPRESSED HOW MUCH 40,000 CAN GET YOU.

  I LOVE IT BUT I WILL HAVE TO MOVE ON - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By KELLYMC - May 2 - 2:06 am

  I must say that I love love love my car. It is stunning to look at and comming from a background of sports cars it is a super fun car to drive. Heads turn when people see this car comming down the road. There is a huge "but" in the midst of all of the things I love about this car! I have had to replace the window motor on the drivers side twice and the passenger side once. I have had gaskets replaced, coils 1,3,5 & 8 replaced and still have 4 more to go but can only get them replaced as they go out. The sun roof leaks but the crazy twist is that it fills up the pocket on the passenger door! I truly hate to get rid of the car but the repair costs are killing me!!!!!

  02 LS Ohio - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By craig - April 23 - 6:06 am

  Ive been pretty happy with this car. One problem that worries me is the transmission, however. We had problems at approx. 20k miles with it, and the dealer rebuilt it (warranty). We now have 44K miles and the tranny is acting funny again. It "clunks" when you shift from park to drive (occasionally, maybe once every other day). There is no tranny dipstick to verify fluid level or color. Changing fluid looks like an ordeal, requiring special tools (read, costly). Other than the tranny, the car has been good, and fun to drive. This is the sport edition with V8.
