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.

  Sports Sedan - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Jiggs - May 28 - 7:10 pm

  What a great sedan! Its good looking, well built, handles like a BMW and is surprisingly affordable. Why Lincoln didnt just continue to improve and fine tune it instead of stopping production in 2006 is beyond me.

  Great Car as long as you dont wreck - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Stacy M - February 26 - 1:06 pm

  I loved driving the Lincoln LS-Great Car!But accidently ran off road dodging deer, car slide down incline & hit covert. When car flipped 3 to 4 times completely totalling out car the only airbag that deployed was passengers side front. Car nose dived on drivers side flipping & hit every point on car but the steering wheel nor side airbags ever deployed. Lucky to be alive! If you own a Lincoln LS have airbags checked-end this accident I was informed all airbags shouldve deployed that wouldve help prevent alot of pain & stay in hospital.

  My Lincoln LS - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Jane & Wes Breschini - July 23 - 5:26 am

  My experience with my Lincoln LS has been very satisfactory. I had driven a GM Buick Park Avenue for 7 years and also had a good experience except, I wanted a smaller car but with the same amenities and quality as my Buick. I love this car....it is smaller in size and I ride in great comfort. I purchased it off the lot.......I had a list of what I wanted and there it was, color and everything with some extra features. I am 70 years old.

  05 LS V6 Update - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By 2005ls1 - June 2 - 10:00 am

  I now have 179,000 kms on this POS and its still "nickel and diming" me to death. The front end is rattling again after it had front struts, sway bar links, and tie rod ends installed at 145,000 Kms. The E-brake light is on and beeping. I dont use it so I dont understand why it would need service. The traction control switch fell through the hole in the console for no apparent reason. I had to replace the power steering pump because it was leaking badly. The oil pan is leaking again, at least I think its the oil pan. The coil packs (5th set) are due to be changed again because the car stutters at times and that lets me know the coil packs will need changing soon. FORD - you suck!!!

  Lincoln LS: There is no substitute... - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Ivan - February 14 - 12:20 pm

  The Lincoln LS is the ultimate driving machine. Affordability and extensive features makes this car attractive to any gadget man who likes toys (like the GPS) and the feeling of safety and power on the open road.

  The 05 is even better then 02 - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Faithfull one - January 4 - 5:56 am

  This is my second Lincoln LS I loved my 02 but this one is even better. It has incredible power, handles wonderfully, and is so fun to drive.The even weight from rear to front keeps the car from nose diving when stopping fast.I was sold on it when we were doing 75mph and the truck in front of us lost his load and we had to stop suddenly. We never lost control and stopped with such ease.

  Best car I have owned - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By Steve Timm - October 27 - 5:00 pm

  Everything about this car shouts performance and quality. It is everything a BMW or Mercedes is, but better because it is AMERICAN! If there is anything I would change , I would give the back seats a little more leg space. At 63" I have to move the driver seat forward to provide enough leg room for anyone older than 10. My knees almost touch the dash which is not comfortable for any lenght of time. Otherwise a great car.

  LEMON! - 2005 Lincoln LS
  By buffmatt12 - October 15 - 4:10 pm

  This car is a problem machine! I bought my 2005 lincoln ls ultimate v8 a few years ago with 22k on it. I loved it for about a week because it looks nice,drives nice, and has every option you could ever want. As soon at the warrenty was at 50k the nightmare began! rear control arm went rims need to be replaced,air conditioning broke,colling system went, 3 wheel bearings,more cracks in the cooling system,7 coil packs, power window broke, electric parking brake switch went,advanced track needed service , leaking rear differential,driver seat moter, and now the power steering is acting up. all dealer repairs coasting over $6K .This really is the car from hell! DONT BUY!!!!!!
