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.

  Might have been good when new. - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By David E - August 5 - 10:00 am

  I purchased my LS in June of 2009 for $7,000. I am going to give it to the local vo-tech because it has almost no trade in value and I cant imagine what private individual this car would be good for. Almost every month I have owned this car, I have had to repair something electronic. There are more $500 - $1000 gizmos on this thing than you can imagine. I had hoped that I was getting them all repaired and wouldnt have any more problems but I am starting to replace some things a second time. This car is extremely complex. Some of the parts are designed by Jaguar. When luxury features fail, you dont just lose the feature, you lose basic functions.

  2003 Base 6 Cyl - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By StanG - July 31 - 2:00 am

  Best Sedan of any type that I have driven. Very good power from a small 6 cylinder. Handling is better than my race ready 65 Mustang. Gas milage is really good, ~ 27mpg on the hiway.

  Everyone should drive this! - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By eyerly - July 21 - 8:34 pm

  This is truly an amazing car! I have yet to discover a flaw. My LS V8 has everything I could ask for and so much more. Its never given me problems and always gets me plenty of compliments. The look of the car is so classy and elegant. This car is a blast to drive, its so quick and feels very sporty and luxurious. Why anyone would drive anything else baffles me. This car is perfect. Ive driven many luxury cars and nothing compares! This car impresses everyone that sees it. Since Ive had mine I have had at least 10 friends buy them because they envied mine. The Joness wish they could keep up with me!

  GAS GOBBLER - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By billy d - May 6 - 12:33 am

  I just bought a Lincoln LS 2003 V8 and man does it drink da gas. Im using 93 octane and can only afford to drive around da block. I want to put 20" inch wheels on it but I dont even know if I am going to have it this long cause I cant afford da gas. Please tell me if any one is having the same problems. Ive drove V8s before but this is a bit crazy over 3 days I spent almost 100 bucks in gas and only went around the corner. Yea its nice inside but the sits are not right for me I am 64 and it seems like it was built for 58 person.

  Appealing to the eye - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By tonyat - May 4 - 3:40 pm

  I purchased my car 2 months ago with 80,000 miles on it. The day after I got it, it wouldnt crank. I thought it was the battery. I got a jump and it worked with no problem. It did the same thing the very next day. I tried to get a jump but it wouldnt start. Found out the alternator was bad. I got that fixed. So now Im noticing that sometimes when I put in in drive, it takes a while to shift and move. I dont know whats going on. I dont know anything about cars but that seems like something dealing with the transmission. After reading some of the other reviews, Im starting to get worried.

  What an incredible car !!! - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By JoeL - April 30 - 2:00 am

  This car was made for me. It has every possible feature and gadget that Id ever wanted and its just the right size, big trunk, seats four, folding seats, and an near perfect safety record. But its real strength is its handling and performance. Plenty of power (especially at highway speeds) and very controllable, neutral handling. Nothing upsets this car. The 2003s upgrades read like a list of the items that I wanted addressed when I drove the 2001. Lincoln has really created a great car.
