This Year's Model Updates:

The LS' already handsome appearance can be further enhanced with the LSE appearance package that includes 17-inch two-tone Blade Grey wheels, a unique front fascia, round foglights, modified Blade Grey grille with color-keyed upper trim piece, side rocker panels and rear valance, low profile spoiler, dual stainless-steel exhaust tips and LSE floor mats. Lincoln makes an in-dash CD changer standard for 2002 (with Alpine Audiophile components on Sport models) and restyles the 16-inch alloy wheels on non-Sport V6 and V8 versions. A Vehicle Communication System, which provides a voice-activated Motorola Timeport mobile phone, is optional and includes safety and security services, route guidance and access to weather reports, stock quotes and sports scores. Three new colors replace three old ones.

Pros:
  • Confident steering and handling, choice of either a V6 or V8 engine, comfortable and roomy interior, clean exterior design.
Cons:

  • After two years - Still Great - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Bought the LS non-sport V8 in February, 2000. Although the dealer experience was the worst anyone could possibly imagine, the Execs at Lincoln fixed the problems. The car had its own set of early-build quality problems - which also were all couteously repaired by a different dealer. But now, for about a year and a half, the car gets better and better as the tranny and engine wear-in. The car is still silent as a tomb inside, gas mileage improves with age, and the Firestone Firehawk tires hold up and hold on to the road beautifully. Paint still looks showroom- new, and the cars styling standout in Beverly Hills as well as the desert highways.

  • Love my car but it is breaking me! - 2002 Lincoln LS

    Where oh where do I begin? I bought this car in 2008 with 70k miles on it from the Ford dealership. I have replaced 4 coils, 4 plugs, 1 valve cover gasket seal, one headlight assembly due to a bad seal, clock spring due to airbag light (that worked for about a year now the airbag light is back on), front brake pads, and now the power steering pump is leaking fluid somewhere.

    This ties with my Taurus SHOs as the best all-around car I have ever owned. And, I have owned Model T, MG TC, Triumph TR-2, Mazda RX-2, Ferrari Dino 246GT, 3 Taurus SHOs and many other fun cars.

  • Finally, Sporty American Luxury - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    This is a great looking car that does not disappoint when you drive it. I have the V-6 and dont feel like Im missing any power. Its just as smooth at 100mph as it is at 50mph. Very quiet ride that is a joy to drive. The only downside I can find is the lack of rear leg room. Makes you proud to be an American.

  • Awesome - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I bought my LS in March, 02 about 120 miles from home. Incredibly fun to drive. On a recent trip in the mountains, my 3 passengers were hanging on for life, but the LS hugged the curves as if at home. Im still breaking it in, but get >26 mpg on the interstate. Each time my wife rides in it, she comments on the smooth ride.

    My 2nd LS. I had a 2004 LS. I bought a 2002 LS for my daughter. Bought both used. Highly recommend. My daughter loves her car. Fun to drive. Highly reliable. Safe. Between the 2 cars have over 100,000 miles with only one issue at all. If you can get one, get it. You will not be sorry.

  • I still love my Lincoln - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I bought my LS just over two years ago with just under 25k miles. Now it has over 75k miles and it still drives like new. I did replace the brake pads with carbon/ceramic pads about 30K ago and replaced the tires. Other than oil changes, thats it. This is an amazing car. I cant tell you how much love this car.

  • Excellent Ride! - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I purchased this car used 2 yrs. ago with 34000 miles on it, it now has 62000 miles on it and I have never had a single problem with it. I have a V8 that is so fast and smooth whenever I need it to be, I love it. I wish they were still making them so I could get a newer version.

    I have throughly enjoyed driving this car for the past year... I was looking at the Mercedes and the BMW when I decided to get the LS.. It is such a comfortable cruising car and around town it performs so well. It handles like a charm. Just all around awesome car for the money. I WILL buy another one!
