  One Nagging Problem - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By JOHN - March 19 - 9:53 am

  Great car to drive, and reasonably trouble free except for the coil on plug ignition packs and valve cover gaskets. Ford will only replace the coil as they go bad and Ive replaced 6 or the 8 under the extended warranty at $100 a pop. Ford refuses to fix the leaking gaskets unless the owner specifically complains and even then they will only fix the side where the coil goes bad even if both sides leak. 03 and 04 models have a CSP from Ford extending warranty to 10yr./100000 mi. Owners of the 01 and 02 LSs need to start complaining to Ford. I hear that the V-6 also has this problem.

  Great Car - Horrible paint job - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By LincolnTom - December 8 - 10:00 am

  Great car, horrible paint. I think the dealer ruined the clearcoat when they detailed the car at delivery. Car looked great until I washed it. It was full of swirl marks. Went back 3 times to be rewaxed. I finally did it myself w/Malms.

  The car is not bad - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By Kyie - July 10 - 10:26 am

  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.

  Good Car - Great Value - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By GUT - June 21 - 1:06 am

  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!

  My 02 LS Experience - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By aSHOboy - October 21 - 2:00 am

  This car is a real winner when it comes to the "fun to drive" category. It has excellent acceleration and corners like its on rails, by far the best "road" car Ive ever owned! However, I dont think Ive had a car with so many squeaks and rattles before. The first ones started making noise at less than 1,000 miles, and its only gotten worse...much worse! The fuel economy leaves a lot to be desired as well. I have friends with 4.6L Mustang GTs that get better, or at least similar, mileage than I do with this little 3.9L V8.

  First impressions of 2002 LS8 Sport - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By Longtime Ford man - August 8 - 10:00 am

  First impression after owning my 2002 LS8 sport one week and driving it 600 miles. I have experimented with the SelectShift transmission in various situations and so far it has performed well. I have not experienced the problems that I see mentioned frequently in reviews. If I shift it as one would normally do with a manual when RPMs are at a reasonable level, it reacts without delay and shifts smoothly. Even when shifting more aggressively, the transmission performs well.

  2001 LS V6 Auto - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By Peter - June 7 - 9:30 pm

  The LS is a great car, I have very few complaints other that the V6 with auto is a bit underpowered. I just dont feel a real punch from it. Also the steering is a little too overassisted for my tastes, I prefer a little better road feel. Starting the car presents another problem not just with mine either, all LSs almost never start on the first try in a cold start. It takes some cranking. Cornering ablilty is top notch however and everything else about the car is wonderful.

  After two years - Still Great - 2002 Lincoln LS
  By sawmill - May 21 - 10:00 am

  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
  By csmorgan - April 14 - 10:00 am

  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.
