Overview & Reviews

V6 models now come with standard traction control and optional AdvanceTrac. All models receive a glow-in-the-dark manual trunk release and child safety-seat anchor points. The sport package has a new 17-inch chrome wheel design and a mini spare tire and wheel instead of the previous 16-inch nonmatching aluminum wheel (both late availability). Inside, there is an additional power point, a revised cupholder design, an optional in-dash six-disc CD changer and an optional mirror-mounted compass. The height-adjustable rear-seat head restraints have been deleted from V8 automatics. Four new exterior colors are offered. Lincoln now offers complimentary maintenance at no additional charge for the first three years/36,000 miles in service.

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

  Solid performer, no gimmicks - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By LS_lover - January 28 - 10:00 am

  Flawless handling, excellent thrust, solid braking, decent ride. Rigid, composed chasis. Drove it back to back against a 5 series, E-class, expecting not to be impressed. But found a more assured chassis than M-B, handling as aggressive as the BMW, and less road noise than either. This is a stealth premium car. Everything a BMW 5 series or an E-class has in terms of engineering and competence with none of their BS fake prestige, psuedo- snobbery, and overpriced pretense.

  Nice Car - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By mrmhouston - January 26 - 4:06 pm

  This has been the best car weve owned. Relatively few problems. It is fun to drive, looks great and is reliable. My only wish is that Lincoln would get on board and come up with better gas mileage. That would be the only thing that could keep me from buying another one. Ill be crossing my fingers.

  No Problems - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By TennesseeLS - January 8 - 12:16 pm

  I waited for the second year (2001) to buy my V-8 model, and it has zero problems. My wife likes the attactive body and interior while I like the power and handling. I systematically test drove competing cars over the same test loop (yes, I am an engineer) and the LS was far superior to all but the much more expensive BMW 5-series in power and handling. America can compete.

  Beware!!! - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By Gerald Stratos - November 24 - 2:06 am

  I bought my beautiful LS V8 sprt pkg. In March 05 and been having trans problems, (it likes to shift to neutral when coming to a stop while still in drive!!! at cold startup) Also, the rack and pinion seeps fluid, the alignment is shaky, and the motor misfires horribly. Its not over yet! My door handle wont open the drivers door from the inside. I have to roll my window and open it from the outside. This is not pleasant during the winter... I still owe 12,500 on the darn thing... Im looking to trade it off. Oh and the chrome wheels are peeling terribly near the centercaps. Not to mention the weather stripping is coming loose as well. yours truely, Helpessly suckered in Mogodore

  Very nice car - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By Johnny - November 1 - 10:00 am

  I have owned my LS now for about 11 months and have loved it from the start - exceptional handling and sharp looking for an American 4d sedan. However, I probably would not consider this car again. For $40k I expect more than what I got - performance, service, sound system, features, attention to details on fit and finish. Lincoln just does not provide a reason for me to buy another one in 6-8 years.

  Glens Take - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By Spoon - September 2 - 10:00 am

  I was one of the 1st customers to own a LS in April 1999 on a two year lease. This car was terrible with all the system (computer) and fuel problems I encountered. The car was labeled a lemon. I complained a total of 10 times to district reps. Finally, they gave and offered me another model of the same car in a 2001 version. I excepted. This is a wonder if it had some more get up and go. What a shame! Overall I should have waited for the LS-8.

  Taken for a Ride - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By madman - July 15 - 2:00 am

  Purchased this car new with the V-8 sports package and it turned into a nightmare. Car became very difficult to start after it was driven and shutdown for 2 hrs. Took car in for warranty repair 11 times w/out success. Ford had engineers and executive office involved, and no repair worked. Took them to arbitration to get a refund on the vehicle because they said they could not repair the car, and would not replace it.Other problems included a noisy air conditioner, a defective chrome wheel, seat backs that fell off, and random system fail alarms.
