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:

  • Wonderful Vehicle - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    An overall wonderful car. And Lincoln treats their customers beautifully.

  • A real value in a sports sedan - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    Great combination of sport and comfort. Much more room inside than a BMW 530 with similar performance at $15000 less money.

  • Depreciation - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I love this LSE, of course you cant find the LSE in the books. LSE has round fog lights, Aerodinamics around the car, 17 inch chrome wheels and chrome tail pipes. Very slick, but depreciates to fast that you do not want to buy another. The front light cover fogs when it rains not good for a for $44,000 vehicle. Also the depreciation on this vehicle is very bad two years later is only worth $16,000, so bad, so bad.

  • Little Giant - 2002 Lincoln LS

    The best value in a used car. I paid less than half of the sticker price, and the car, with less than 30,000 miles, was mint. I thought Id wanted a bigger, flashier car--a 2002 Continental or a new Chrysler 300. But both of these models felt clunky and were not much fun to drive. The LS, though understated in exterior appearance, has a substantially longer wheelbase than the Continental. Its trim in appearance, yet it dwarfs my wifes Maxima when theyre side by side. (Shes jealous and wants to trade cars with me.) This is understated luxury, "cool" but not ostentatious. Lots of useful gadgets and conveniences. Only my left knee is disgruntled.

  • The car is not bad - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    The car is beautiful inside and out. Always receives compliments. Here are my gripes: just like eveone else is saying, the lenses get foggy. The transmission works, but it shifts like something is wrong with it. This car is not made to be serviced by the owner. No way to check the tranny fluid or replenish the a/c without bringing it to the dealership. Its hard to find a service manual as well. Last but not least, the radio contols on the steering wheel sometimes malfunction. I would never pay top dollar for the car, but if the price is right, good deal.

  • Lincoln LS a Joy to Have! - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I am thoroughly enjoying LS. The car rides like BMW 5 or Jag S (it is on same platform) but is 10K to 15K cheaper.

  • 2002 LS Sport - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    This is the best handling vehicle I have ever owned. I test drove over 5 competing models and the LS was clearly superior (especially when price is put into the equation). The seats are increadibly comfortable. The drivetrain is very smooth.

  • Good Car - Great Value - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    As my 2nd LS, the 2002 has been a workhorse. I have had it for seven years, now, and never had many problems with it. The electrical system has had its problems, over the years, but it has always been underr warranty and never been a severe problem. For those who bought a 5- series BMW, you could have saved your money and had a better vehicle. I would buy it again, if Ford hadnt stopped making them! In case you are wondering why the American auto manufacturers cant survive - look no further than this decision!

  • The Best Ever - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    This is the best car Ive had in 15 yrs.Ive been driving since I was 16 and never have I been able to handle a car as well as I can handle the 2002 Lincoln LS.

  • Lincoln LS 2002 Premium - 2002 Lincoln LS
    By -

    My 2002 Lincoln LS, Premium, has been very reliable, comfortable, and enjoyaalbe. The most impressive aspect of the LS is its superior handling characteristics, especially in cornering and emergency avoidance maneuvers. The LSs Advance Trac system combined with winter tires enables the vehicle to climb all of Pittsburghs snowy hills without trouble. The performance from the V6 is more than adequate, and the transmission shifts smoothly and flawlessly, even in our hilly terrain. After owning very acceptable vehicles such as Avalons and Camrys, I strongly believe the Lincoln LS is the most reliable and enjoyable vehicle I have owned.
