63 Total Reviews
This Year's Model Updates:

The LS features a new front fascia for 2005, and the automatic transmission has been tweaked yet again for improved shift feel and quality.

Pros:
  • Confident steering and handling, optional V8 delivers plenty of smooth and quiet power, comfortable and roomy interior, optional THX-certified sound system.
Cons:
  • Lack of a manual transmission keeps it from true sport sedan status, build quality lags behind German and Japanese competitors, not as nimble as other sport sedans in its class.

  • Typical Car -- Audi A6 better! - 2005 Lincoln LS
    By -

    The Lincoln LS is for the basic transportation, not luxurious as a Cadillac CTS or Audi A6. I had this car for a for a year, and gave me alot of problems. First off it rattled a lot, poor mileage, weak performance. Seats started to rip and tear off, typical Lincoln, you know? Very unreliable, if you think this car is cool, I dare you to test drive a 2005 Audi A6 3.2 Quattro and tell me you didnt enjoy it. I personally wouldnt recommend it, Its your money.

  • L6 Fantastic Value - 2005 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I purchased a 2005 Lincoln LS w/ V6 in June. Between the Dealer, Lincoln & Ford Financing, I was able to snag this gem for $23,000. Its basic for a Lincoln with only special paint as an option. Since its a Lincoln though basic is pretty cush. The ride is great and there are tons of nice features that you wont find on an Accord, Camry and Passat. The fit and finsih are every bit as good as the best of the European and Japanese models. Im delighted with my purchase!

  • Instr. Panel - 2005 Lincoln LS

    I at times find that the speedodometer is very hard to see. It is subject not being bright enough to be seen with out a lot of strain. Other than this it is fine. You should not take your eyes off the road to read odometer.

  • Excellent in all ways. - 2005 Lincoln LS
    By -

    This is one the best cars I have had the pleasure to drive and own. After test driving this car I did not even want to look at any others. I used to long for a BMW or Mercedes, but no longer. I am now a loyal customer for many years to come.

  • My 2005 Lincoln LS (Sport) V-8 - 2005 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I have owned this car just a little over 4 years, and have had no problems with it. It had 21,000 miles on it when I purchased it. I am religious about maintenance on my vehicles, and thats all Ive had to do. Nothing replaced, everything is still working well at 81,000 miles. I love the way it handles, rides, and the excellent acceleration! Good enough on gas for me (20 around town; 25-26 or so highway). Since it is beautifully styled, you feel beautiful driving it. It turns heads! If Lincoln ever re- introduces it, I will definitely rebuy.

    I do not like the way the front seat safety belts fasten. They are too hard since they are so close to the console.The transmission seems to jerk sometime while changing. I have advised the dealersip of this twice and they cannot find any reason it would do this and while test driving , it does not do it. The time and temp. are hard to read in the daytime.

  • Excellent car for anyone - 2005 Lincoln LS
    By -

    I bought this car new and have no problems whatsoever. It handles nice, very comfortable on long trips and even my 30 yr old daughter loves driving it. very nice interior, roomy trunk, and it has enough power for all driving speeds. It is even good on fuel economy. Stereo speakers very good quality. I have driven this car back and forth from California to Texas and back on a few occassions and the car has given me a most pleasurable trips. It handles very well for a midsize car. I feel that anyone who drives this car will enjoy the experience, the ride, comfort and all the little extras, I have. I have had nothing but compliments on my car.

  • Bring back the LS - 2005 Lincoln LS
    By -

    This is the car Id like to be driving forever. I could care less if sales slowed down. I bought one, and when Lincoln decides to bring this vehicle back to the lineup, I will replace mine with a brand new LS
