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.

  My 2005 Lincoln LS (Sport) V-8 - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Doris - November 14 - 10:30 pm

  I have owned this car just a little over 4 years, and have had no problems with it. It had 21,000 miles on it when I purchased it. I am religious about maintenance on my vehicles, and thats all Ive had to do. Nothing replaced, everything is still working well at 81,000 miles. I love the way it handles, rides, and the excellent acceleration! Good enough on gas for me (20 around town; 25-26 or so highway). Since it is beautifully styled, you feel beautiful driving it. It turns heads! If Lincoln ever re- introduces it, I will definitely rebuy.

  Excellent car for anyone - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By sheri - October 11 - 6:00 am

  I bought this car new and have no problems whatsoever. It handles nice, very comfortable on long trips and even my 30 yr old daughter loves driving it. very nice interior, roomy trunk, and it has enough power for all driving speeds. It is even good on fuel economy. Stereo speakers very good quality. I have driven this car back and forth from California to Texas and back on a few occassions and the car has given me a most pleasurable trips. It handles very well for a midsize car. I feel that anyone who drives this car will enjoy the experience, the ride, comfort and all the little extras, I have. I have had nothing but compliments on my car.

  Bring back the LS - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By 2005 lincoln ls - August 24 - 7:20 am

  This is the car Id like to be driving forever. I could care less if sales slowed down. I bought one, and when Lincoln decides to bring this vehicle back to the lineup, I will replace mine with a brand new LS

  Sport is the word for Lincoln LS! - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By LS Sport - July 31 - 10:56 am

  I was all set to buy a new Lincoln Town Car, but once I stepped behind the wheel of my Lincoln LS Sport car, I was sold! My new Lincoln LS Sport drives like a Shelby Mustang, and shifts like a Ferrarri. The suspension truly gives it sports car road feel. The instrument cluster is not cluttered and easy to view. The leather wrapped steering wheel is nice to grasp and holds easy on the curve, noting that there is little sway on turns, especially at higher speeds. By combining sport features with luxury, Ford has another great product in this little Lincoln.

  4 wheel perfection - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Bilbo - July 20 - 10:26 pm

  Amazingly smooth, faster than the CTS I drove, better materials than the Mercedes 430S, better road tests/handling than a 540i and a LOT more reliable than my neighbors Lexus. (ZERO repairs in 100K miles and just did my first tune up and sealed coolant change as designed) AND for $36K off the lot! What an amazing car! (At track days we hit 139 mph on the 17 inch Michelins - do not tell me insurance agent plz!) and other than adding an upgraded ceramic brake pad the car performs like the Jaguar S type (engine/trans and chassis/brakes are the same) but is a sleeper in subtle but classy style. Beat Lexus for JD Powers delivery awards in 2005. PLEASE keep building them like this!

  LS - More fun than I thought - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Jeffrey D Bryant - June 7 - 3:06 pm

  My daily round trip commute is about 100 miles. Accordingly, my main car, a 2004 Porsche 911, was not entirely practical for the commute - especially in stop and go traffic. The LS appealed to me as a mid-size sedan with a V8 - that was affordable (OK - if I had not already sprung for the Porsche - a BMW V8 would be in the garage - but I do have a marriage to maintain). It has delivered far more than expected 0 - 80 is fun - nice engine sound. Handling is also much better than expected. I was expecting a V8 Taurus with upscale trim so I am all around happier than I thought I would be. I arrive at work comfortable and relaxed. For the money, I do not think I could be more pleased.

  My LS - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By My Lincoln LS - June 5 - 7:23 pm

  I purchased this Lincoln LS after owning Mercury Grand Marquis for 20 years. At first when I got into this car I felt a little awkward - it was smaller. Oh But just a few test drives and it caught me, with the beauty, the go, the style and one thing that I have always like and that was rear wheel drive. When I was looking to purchase I had looked and test drove the Grand Marquis, Ford 500, Mercury Montego and the Buick LaCross - non made me feel as comfortable in it like this one did.

  This car is amazing. The perfomance and handling are a major surprise. I am extremely pleased with the smooth ride and handling characteristics at highway speed.
