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.

  LS V8 SPORT - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By RDEVERTSEN - July 30 - 10:00 am

  I PICKED THIS CAR UP ON JUNE 1ST AND DROVE IT CROSS COUNTRY WITHIN ONE WEEK. WHAT A PLEASURE TO DRIVE. PLENTY OF POWER AND GREAT HANDLING TOO. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND HANDLES ALMOST LIKE A MANUAL STICK. I THINK THE MAINTENANCE COVERAGE THAT COMES WITH THIS VEHICLE IS SUPERB

  American Luxury - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By Carrie61284 - June 12 - 2:00 am

  All that I have owned has been Lincolns except once I tried something new and got an Audi A4. It was the worst car I had ever owned, nothing but problems. Needless to say I now own another Lincoln!!!

  By chin man - April 10 - 2:00 am

  the buying experiance was excellent. the most friendly people i have run into, and i have bought 4 new cars in 8 years. the veh handles excellent and is tighter than i thought possible with a sedan. driving at 90mph feels like 50. could use low end oomph. overall i like it.

  Get a Move On! ( The Lincoln Theme Song) - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By Stan The Man - March 30 - 10:00 am

  Just took my 2003 LS home. I got home about one hour after I purchased it. Not because the dealer is far away, I just couldnt stop driving it! Much more fun and much better built than my 00 LS and I thought that one was great. I dont know why this car receives such lukewarm reviews. Could it be that those who give the reviews are BMW, CTS and Acura owners and dont want to admit you can get so much car at such a great price? Dont know dont care...Varoom!

  It is a great car to drive EXCEPT in the snow. The car will fish tail.

  03 LS - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By Duff - March 16 - 12:36 am

  Never docile, and averages 20 mpg for mixed driving. Nice fit and finish inside as well as out. The perfect 50/50 front to rear balance almost makes you forget this is a rear wheel drive car, until you Shift to sport mode, and it becomes a GT Mustang! While rear leg room can get cramped, driver comfort is excellent. The heated and cooled front seats are nice. One of the best riding cars I have ever owned, and beats out the 5 series BMW I sold to get it.

  Wow! What an improvement! - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By chicago ls owner - January 3 - 10:00 am

  I traded in my 2001 LS V8 for the new Premium Sport V8. Even though I loved my old LS, the new one blows it away! There is more room up front, it is much quieter, and I love the new heated and cooled seats. Interior finish is much nicer. So many little changes add up to a much better car. I even test drove a BMW 5 series, and like the LS for what you get for the money. I give it a big thumbs up...

  It brought me back to american cars - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By Fl Driver - October 19 - 10:00 am

  I have owned three foreign cars before this great car. When looking for a sedan i looked at the BMW 540 and Infiniti G35, and the LS blew them all away. From handling, look, and dealer the LS is great. Now i enjoy driving to work everyday. The ride it solid and the power from the V8 is great. Just a nice all around car to own.

  What a mistake!! - 2003 Lincoln LS
  By Ouch!! - March 31 - 3:50 pm

  I bought this car after testing Jaguar, BMW and the CTS. First luxury car - hoped for 100-200K luxury trouble free miles - what a piece of junk!! Two transmission jobs, hauled twice on a flatbed to the dealer as would not start, brake problems - emergency brake sticking, headliner kept falling down around the top roof braking light - one problem after another - very, very disappointing. Dealer finally gave me an extended warranty for 70k miles - the car has been in the shop for over 7 weeks altogether - I will never buy another Ford or Lincoln product!!
