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:

    I have only had the car two months, but I am completely satisfied.

    @ 17500 mi in 8mos, I have to say I am quite impressed. Yes, the bugs had to be worked out of it due to poor vendors picked by Ford, but the car is a sleeper, 135mph on I-75 felt like just 75mph. Extremely comfortable. Transmission shifting needs to be corrected,, to much delay, & Wind noises in the windows cant be fixed. BEST HANDLING CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN FOR THE WEIGHT..WOW!!

    I was nervous at first because of its effeciency and responsiveness in steering (it went exactly where one pointed). It is tight and hugs the highway beautifully. I drive no more than a few miles above limit and rest easy as the fools pass me at 80 and above! It also draws many compliments in the parking areas i visit.

  • Bang for the Buck - 2002 Lincoln LS

    Very reliable car, better than the two BMWs I owned. Smooth, quiet ride. Tranny is starting to go at 94K but thats normal for these cars. Ill get it replaced. Looks great and other than the two coil packs that failed and the locked up rear caliper the car has been a real joy. Ill keep it another 94K and laugh at all the dopes with the leased status symbols they can barely afford.

    I own a 2002 LS. I haven t had any major problems. One of the headlights hold condensation constantly. The dealership would not replace it cause Lincoln is trying to perfect the part. It has been this way for over a year. Very annoying. The tires make loud noises on different road surfaces. I was told that is normal LS noises. I should have bought an SUV. A Yukon XL does not make those noises.

  • What a dissapointment! - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I was so happy when i purchased my LS because i always admired the car since Lincoln introduced the car in 2000, but that would be short lived. The LS has major issues! After a month of ownership, i had to pay $450 to replace the multi-function switch because my signal lights were acting up. Second, i had a engine misfire (which is a common problem on this vehicle) had to replace 3rd coil, all spark plugs and both value covers which cost $1100. Last, my airbag light came on and it cost another $1000 to repair. I took the car to the Ford dealership for service and repair. After 1 year ownership of the vehicle, i had to pay $2500 in non- maintance repair. Stay Away from Ford/Lincoln and the LS.

  • Good looking, comfortable cruiser - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I purchased my 02 V8 in May of 09. Only 58k on the odometer at the time, and the previous owners seemed to take good mechanical care of it. It is a great looking car! Shine it up and take it for a cruise on a sunny afternoon and it still turns a few heads. Clean lines and a classic "Euro" look means it has aged very well, compared to something like the CTS. I find the ergonomics/levels of comfort perfect for my 62" figure, but as others have said, the interior materials need more refinement. The ride is smooth on most surfaces, but gets uncomfortable over rough pavement. Performance is good, cant go wrong with the ol V8/RWD setup. Fast depreciation makes for a good used value.

  • LS V6 Sport w/ Manual Trans - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I have been very impressed with the LS. I have owned Japanese & German sports cars in the past, and wanted something sporty AND classy - so I decided to try some Detroit steel for a change. Couldnt afford a V8, so I opted for the V6 w/5-spd manual, which helps in the performance area. This car handles better than the VW GTI VR6 and the Nissan 300 I owned! The LS corners like its on rails, and the AdvanceTrac system is fantastic when you push it too far in a corner. I have driven a 530i since I owned my LS, and I definitely prefer the Lincoln. My next car will be the V8 Sport version, though.

  • disapointment - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    when i first bought this car, i thought its was an amazing car, but as time wore on, so did the quality and transmission. the LS had very little reliability, ihad to return my car to the daleship for repairs about six times- about three times to fix the ac, once for stuck windows, once for broken interior locks, and another time for engine problems. as a driver, i amvery disapointed in the build and quality of this car.
