Overview & Reviews

From the ground up, this is a completely new sport sedan based on an all-new midsize platform. Lincoln worked with Jaguar to develop this platform, which is also being used for Jaguar's S-Type sedan. It is the first Lincoln in over two decades not classified as a full-size vehicle, and should appeal to buyers looking for something sportier and smaller than the Town Car or Continental.

• Roominess of a BMW 5-Series at the price of a BMW 3-Series.

  The Most Fun Car Ive Ever Owned - 2000 Lincoln LS
  By vipbrettp - November 15 - 10:00 am

  In 2001 I got out of a Ford Taurus SHO and into a 2000 LS. I have to say that despite the signifigant drop in horsepower, and increase in weight (the LS weighs over 4000 lbs) the LS is still more fun to drive. I only say this as I have the 5 spd manual tranny. The engine is too weak for the automatic, which I think feels very underpowered (though newer models have steadly increased horsepower). The rear wheel drive and surperb balance make cornering a dream. Have had several interior trim issues as have been noted elsewhere. All window regulators have been replaced. I do have oil in the spark plug wells, causing the car to missfire. Now the break l

  I Love This Car!!!! - 2000 Lincoln LS
  By Lolaj42 - October 7 - 10:00 am

  While being totally practical with room for 4 adults AND a Child safety seat, this car is an EXCELLENT sports sedan. The handling is phenomenal, and the Select Shift Transmission is great for negotiating twisting mountian roads. Power is more than adequate with passing power in abundance. Ive had absolutely no trouble in over 2.5 years of ownership and the build quality is as good as Ive ever had (15 years of prior Asian brands). This car is an absolute joy to drive hard!

  Near Perfect - 2000 Lincoln LS
  By OSCN - September 26 - 12:00 am

  A pleasure to drive, quick when needed and handles like a sports car. Comfortabe on long trips, reasonable mileage (25 mpg hwy) for engine (V8) and performance. Only "problem," I have had to replace plug/coil assemblies. I question some of the negative comments above/below and cannot help but wonder if regular maintenance and reasonable care had been taken. My opinion, best car from Detroit in years!

  Cautious Optimism - 2000 Lincoln LS
  By -H- - June 25 - 4:00 am

  Some of the reviews I have read are very scary. I have been somewhat fortunate so far, but have had some of the more common malfunctions mentioned in other reviews. The car had 70k miles on it when purchased. It now has 105k on it. It is a rear wheel drive car and does handle terribly in the snow. I have had 1 window malfunction, the air condition did blow out hot and cold air at the same time, and the ball joints caused the steering to shake. These repairs totaled around $750, and that is it so far. None of the malfunctions caused the car to break down, but were recommended repairs. Around 25 mi per gallon. If that is all that happens I will be very happy with this ride.

  Good car so far but a little hesitant - 2000 Lincoln LS
  By TEE TEE - June 15 - 9:56 am

  I brought this 2000 Lincoln with 46,000 miles on it in May 2008. The only problem Ive had so far is the brakes (squeaking) and now as I speak a hose leaking and it want stay crank. I hope I dont have to experience the scary stories Ive read per other reviews. But if I do Im trading it in. No questions asked.

  WHAT A GREAT LINCOLN - 2000 Lincoln LS
  By COBRAJ - May 4 - 1:53 pm

  I was looking for a mid-full size luxury car. Compared to BMW, Mercedes and Cadillac this was by far the best selection. Ten years later Im still overjoyed on my LS Sport. My friends who bought the Bimmer and MBs have already traded their cars in due to repair costs. Over the course of 10 years Ive only had $1200 in costs not associated with the normal wear and tear. Terrific handling, comfort and creature comforts make the LS a great buy. In fact Im looking for a 2006 Ultimate edition now! Great job FLM!

  Love to Drive - 2000 Lincoln LS
  By NormC - April 19 - 10:00 am

  In the 1st month it had an oil leak which was a major repair (engineering defect). Since then no problems. It is very comfortable and love to drive. It is a V6 but plenty of get up and go. I have a 3 year lease but am going to lease another year.

  Pretty to look at, but thats it! - 2000 Lincoln LS
  By johnjohn - March 4 - 10:00 am

  Bought the car as a second vehicle to run around town in. Not too many problems the first few months, then the fuel tank dropped. (Apparently something that is common in these cars according to the service writer). Had it out and it began to snow.... not recomended for ANYTHING other than dry pavement. For only having a V-6, the requirement for having atleast 91 octane is rediculouis. $2.25 a gallon to fill this puppy up :-(

  Great Value - 2000 Lincoln LS
  By derekzane - March 2 - 10:00 am

  I leased the v8 sport 2 years ago and it still feels like a new vehicle. This car has got to be one of the best luxury cars for the money on the street. I test drove the more expensive jag and mercedes sedans and did not find them noticeably better. I would strongly recommond this car to everyone. The only issues I have is the delay in acceleration and the fact I have had my rear windows worked on 3x.
