Overview & Reviews

Lincoln's sport sedan goes into 2003 with more than 500 changes. The V8 sports 28 more horsepower, while the V6 benefits from a 12-horsepower increase. Both engines are controlled by drive-by-wire throttle, and drink slightly less fuel than their 2002 counterparts. Unfortunately, Lincoln decided to kill the five-speed manual that was available with the V6. Meanwhile, the rack and pinion steering has been improved, and Lincoln says it has softened the ride without degrading the car's handling abilities. In terms of safety, Lincoln has added a BrakeAssist function, side curtain airbags (late availability) and power-adjustable pedals. As on the 2003 Jaguar S-Type, a new electronically activated parking brake improves the stowage capability of the center console. Also on the inside, you'll find vastly improved interior materials for the seat and dash, along with little touches like one-touch up and down front windows and a host of new options. Outside you'll find slightly altered fascias front and rear and a host of new wheel choices.

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

• No manual transmission, build quality lags behind German and Japanese competitors.

  Great Car! - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By DAH1 - May 10 - 10:00 am

  This is a great car! Great handling and performance, really fun to drive. Test drove the BMW 5 series, preferrred the LSs handling, ride and interior comfort to the BMWs. The air conditioned front seats are nice on a hot day. The CD changer behind the Navigation system display is pretty cool.

  I love this car. - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By A.L. Johnson - January 14 - 2:00 am

  I am so pleased with everything about this car. It is quite, fast, smooth. Even though the V8 premium sport seemed a bit pricy I now feel it was worth every penny for the upgrade for all of the little nice features.

  The American Import - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By cdphillips - January 9 - 10:00 am

  This car has it all. Styling, performance, etc. The new 280 HP V8 is great. The Advance Trac has been improved. The heated & cooled seats have been very useful so far. Adjustable pedals add to an already great interior. The cabin is so unbelievably quiet. The ride is smooth and yet responsive. Gas mileage has been improved. I could go on and on but Im sure you get the picture.

  Finally a good American Car - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By V8 in FL - November 6 - 10:13 pm

  Have put 40000 miles on my LS in 2 years. It is great. Have only had to take it in to have the AC head unit replaced, and then just GTO (gas, tires and oil) for the rest. It still handles great, and i get about 20 MPG driving a mix of city and highway every day. Just a great car.

  Never Again...... - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By stinkinlincoln - October 15 - 3:16 pm

  I bought the car with 23000 miles on it. After I had the car six weeks, it was in the shop. I had to replace a coil package...$800. I was told my warranty would not cover it?? I have replaced oxygen sensors (twice), ignition coils, and wheel bearings. The check engine light STAYS ON as well as the ABS light. It is now currently in the shop for ETC FAIL SAFE MODE. I will NEVER buy another Ford product!!!!!!

  Unbelievable - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By Carlover147 - October 15 - 10:00 am

  I never thought I would be a lincoln customer at the young age of 26 but my mind was changed after I test drove a 2003 Lincon LS. Before my purchase I tested both the BMW 3 & 5 series and mercedes benz c class. The lincoln was the last test drive and by far my favorite. With 2300 miles on it so far I have not had one regret.

  Perfect Blend of Form, Function & Value - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By RIXLS - July 22 - 10:00 am

  I have had my LS for about a month now and have loved every minute of it so far. The as-received build quality was excellent. It is very quiet and solid - no rattles or squeaks. The V8 is strong, responsive and quiet. It has excellent power throughout the entire rev range. Handling is superb. The Advance Track system wont let you lose control, especially in rain and snow. Near 50/50 weight distribution. Anti-dive suspension. It is a lot of car for the money compared to BMW, Lexus, Infiniti and Mercedes. It has an excellent Navigation system and a THX certified stereo.
