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.

  good stuff - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By selvarajah - June 22 - 3:03 am

  my wife was looking to buy a slightly used BMW 740. We test drove the vehicle and found the LS to have more agility and extremely comfortable. The 740 with its sluggish performance and overly abundant seating was not practical for the extra 20K more for a USED Vehicle. Not to mention the horror stories one hears of with the electronics with German engineered cars.

  LS V6 - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By paul124124 - April 9 - 10:00 am

  I found the V6 model to provide excellent performance and handling. This car is fun to dive while still providing an upscale image of a Lincoln.

  This car is awsome! - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By leemann - April 2 - 10:00 am

  I love this car, even with a v-6 it hauls ass. It is also a chick magnet, everyone at work wants to take a ride in it. the only problens I have had are the transmission kicking really hard while down shifting from 2nd to 1st gear other than that this car is great all around. Oh one other thing it could use a air conditioner that gets colder quiker.

  So good, this is my second LS - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By Exit32a - March 14 - 10:00 am

  I owned an early 2000 LS V8 and enjoyed the car so much, I ordered a 2003 model as soon as they were introduced. The LS does everything well. From outstanding acceleration to responsive handling, this car exudes poise and class. I should also mention that I bought a new 2002 Thunderbird -- the LSs kissing cousin.

  I have doubts and issues - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By deeman - March 1 - 2:00 am

  Upon delivery headliner started to fall down in the rear and sunglass holder in roof fell down. Upon arriving home back doors would not unlock, had to crawl over front seats to exit auto. There are muffled noises coming from the passenger side dash and we have been told it may be caused by temp change, but they cannot find anything. Paid a premium price for what I thought was a luxury car but it hasnt lived up to the mark yet--I have my doubts that it ever will.

  The Lincoln of the future. - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By CGGorman - February 10 - 2:00 am

  Thinking about a BMW? Audi? Lexus? Infiniti? Forget about the imports. This AMERICAN sports sedan will rock your world! Dont believe the luke- warm press, test drive one for yourself. The LS is the finest sports sedan America has ever produced. By many enthusiasts it is thought to be as- good or better-than the import competition. Support America and see Lincoln in a whole new light. Buy a LS. You wont regret it.

  Outstanding performance - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By techman - January 31 - 10:00 am

  The LS is billed as a combination of luxury and performance and delivers both, especially performance. The V-8 is smooth and has plenty of power and torque, but the most impressive thing about the car is the handling. Its responsive, goes where you point it and corners like its on rails -- a real thrill to drive! I considered earlier models, but the refinements in the 2003 model sold me. Lincoln obviously listened to owners. I have no regrets so far and would recommend the car. Test drive one and find yourself some curves!

  One Of The Best! - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By Sphil-1 - January 18 - 2:00 am

  This is one of the best if not THE best car Ive ever driven. I traded my 2000 LS and cannot believe what I got. In every aspect this car excels. Dont be fooled by the low cost (arount 48,000) as compared to many similarly equiped luxury cars. It doesnt look cheap, drive cheap or handle cheap! Try one, Im sure youll agree!

  An American Icon. - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By CDP - January 18 - 2:00 am

  Lincolns have been a part of my family for many years but none are what this car is. It is truly a beautiful car inside and out. Its funny, people are always asking me what kind of car this is. When I take it to get washed, I get special treatment because this car really stands out. But it acts the part. I feel safe with the stability control ABS Brakes and powerful engine. It just goes to show that you dont have to spend lots of money and still get a truly great luxury car. This car is truly a legend!
