This Year's Model Updates:

Lincoln's sport sedan goes into 2003 with more than 500 changes. The V8 sports 28 more horsepower, while the V6 benefits from a 12-horsepower increase. Both engines are controlled by drive-by-wire throttle, and drink slightly less fuel than their 2002 counterparts. Unfortunately, Lincoln decided to kill the five-speed manual that was available with the V6. Meanwhile, the rack and pinion steering has been improved, and Lincoln says it has softened the ride without degrading the car's handling abilities. In terms of safety, Lincoln has added a BrakeAssist function, side curtain airbags (late availability) and power-adjustable pedals. As on the 2003 Jaguar S-Type, a new electronically activated parking brake improves the stowage capability of the center console. Also on the inside, you'll find vastly improved interior materials for the seat and dash, along with little touches like one-touch up and down front windows and a host of new options. Outside you'll find slightly altered fascias front and rear and a host of new wheel choices.

Pros:
  • Confident steering and handling, choice of either a V6 or V8 engine, comfortable and roomy interior, clean exterior design.
Cons:
  • No manual transmission, build quality lags behind German and Japanese competitors.

  • Bouncin Like a "Big Dog" In His LS! - 2003 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Traded the 00 LS and bought my hubby an 03. This car is 500 times better. Literally! The Advancetrac, engine, (now 280 hp) ride, build quality, seats, adjustable pedals, wheels, appearance, everything has been upgraded! With the addition of the voice activated THX audio/navigation system you can be in your own "Heaven" in this car. Cant hear nothing but the R&B in this cabin! Need I say more!

  • Love it , Love it, Love it! - 2003 Lincoln LS

    Yes, this car was built to compete with the European sport luxury sedans, and not only complete, they topped them! If not for the transmission it would have been top rated overall but slipped a bit as its not so great at low rpms. But it is one of the smoothest transmissions you will operate and on the highway it shines! Great power @ upper speeds too! This car is rated as one of the TOP 5 safest cars of ALL TIME! I love its understated elegance and the engineers put some work with the all aluminum fenders and hood and putting the battery in the trunk to acheive a 50-50 weight balance and is one of the reasons for the superior handling. The alum. J-8 eng. is sweet! The Jaguar platform too!

  • What a machine!!!!!! - 2003 Lincoln LS

    My experience with this new car has been awsome. Its hard to believe that this an american made automobile. The handling and performance is almost unbelievable. My last three cars have been BMW 5 series, and I hate to say it but after buying this 03 LS my BMW days are probably over.

  • good stuff - 2003 Lincoln LS
    By -

    my wife was looking to buy a slightly used BMW 740. We test drove the vehicle and found the LS to have more agility and extremely comfortable. The 740 with its sluggish performance and overly abundant seating was not practical for the extra 20K more for a USED Vehicle. Not to mention the horror stories one hears of with the electronics with German engineered cars.

  • LS V6 - 2003 Lincoln LS

    I found the V6 model to provide excellent performance and handling. This car is fun to dive while still providing an upscale image of a Lincoln.

  • So good, this is my second LS - 2003 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I owned an early 2000 LS V8 and enjoyed the car so much, I ordered a 2003 model as soon as they were introduced. The LS does everything well. From outstanding acceleration to responsive handling, this car exudes poise and class. I should also mention that I bought a new 2002 Thunderbird -- the LSs kissing cousin.

  • The Lincoln of the future. - 2003 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Thinking about a BMW? Audi? Lexus? Infiniti? Forget about the imports. This AMERICAN sports sedan will rock your world! Dont believe the luke- warm press, test drive one for yourself. The LS is the finest sports sedan America has ever produced. By many enthusiasts it is thought to be as- good or better-than the import competition. Support America and see Lincoln in a whole new light. Buy a LS. You wont regret it.
