Overview & Reviews

The V8 Premium Sport is now called the V8 Ultimate. Minor suspension and transmission upgrades provide less noise and smoother shifts. Sirius Satellite Radio is now a dealer-installed option.

• Confident steering and handling, optional V8 delivers plenty of smooth and quiet power, comfortable and roomy interior, optional THX-certified sound system.

• Manual transmission no longer offered, build quality lags behind German and Japanese competitors, not as nimble as other sport sedans in its class.

  Step up from MarkVIII - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By Steve Berndt - December 25 - 5:00 am

  Hated to leave Mark VIII, but really excited and pleased with performance style, curb appeal, and all the goodies. Cockpit is very driver friendly, speed and audio controls handy. Heat-A/C seats a gem. Travel from Maine to Fl 10 times a year. Heated wiper, seat is great in snow. Great storage, fold down seats a real plus. Transmission choice brings fun back to driving... Unless a Markclone comes back, Im a happy guy.

  Almost but not there yet! - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By Kingster - November 26 - 11:36 am

  I purchased my 2004 LS V8 Unlimited in Jan. of 2007. I test drove it and purchased within hours. I loved the ride and power but was unsure about the transmission. Although I had doubts it was a better car for me than my GTP. I love the V8, nav system and cooled seats are wonderful. But I am getting more dissimpressed with the transmission everyday.

  A Happy Customer - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By New Jersey Driver - November 16 - 2:00 am

  I have been driving Mercury Sables for years....I decided to opt up to purchasing a Lincoln LS. It is a much more powerful car as compared to the Sable and much more luxurious. The ULTIMATE package includes several options. It is about the same size as the Sable in terms of driver and passenger room. I am completely satisfied with this purchase and very happy.

  Linclon - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By Darrin Davis - November 5 - 10:00 am

  I just bought a Linclon LS and a Linclon Towncar both for $77,000. The LS has a dream ride and a good reliability record but has sevral other problems. The car doesnt handle like my old LS or my old Toyota Avalon. My Towncar is even worse. It doesnt drive, is to big, and has already needded a new transmission after 2000 miles. By Toyota instead

  My Lincoln LS - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By yungdogg06 - October 17 - 8:28 am

  This car is pretty nice. I bought it in 08 with 35,000mi. In 2010 I started having problems. Transmission went out. Somewhere around $2500 to fix. Shortly after I noticed small things were breaking. A/c vent breaking off, driver chair back broke off, traction control button fell off, eyeglass holder wont stay latched, side rear view mirrors wont adjust, fuel buttons broke... And soon after the rear differential jacked up on me. Thats another $1500 that I payed out of my pocket. If thats not bad enough, just last week on a road trip.... My shifter cable popped off, wrapped around the drive shaft, ripped of trans cover, ripped off sensors and more. Guess theyre not built to last.

  Lincoln LS V/6 - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By w5ihv - October 16 - 10:00 am

  I have just returned from a 5,000 mile trip in mu new Lincoln LS, in general the automobile handled well, the comfort level was good. Mileage, (combined) was 27.8. I do not care for the requirement for 91 octane fuel. The automobile interior noise level is higher than I had expected. The LS performed well under some bad conditions, with water over the highway. In general I am satisfied, but not really impressed.

  Awesome LS but... - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By Pete - August 28 - 3:53 am

  04 LS is just awesome to drive and look at and want to be in all the time but, fuel mileage is terrible in city and transmission. Has been in dealer shop twice now and is going back again due to jerky shifts, bucking uphills even after replacing trans solenoids.

  My favorite car - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By Stu - August 22 - 10:56 am

  Car is solid and fun to drive. The V8 engine provides effortless power. Ford has done a good job with this car and should advertise it more. Many of the cars features are available on other cars, but my Lincoln demonstrates a special quality, that justifies a premium price. My "LS Ultimate" is very quiet on the road and yet, you always feel secure and comfortable. Controls are convenient and easy to reach. The "LS" is not a big car, yet is good looking and commands a respect not seen in similar priced automobiles. It has all the goodies that belong on a premium automobile.

  Impressive - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By Riggity - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I Drive top end cars every day. I have found the Lincoln Ls to be one of the nicest and best handling sports sedans on the market. The Ls with the V8 and advance trac seams to give the driver a piece of mind while take country roads at speeds over 75. This all in a car not priced over 50,000.

  Youll Love This Car! - 2004 Lincoln LS
  By Tim R. - June 23 - 12:10 am

  Purchased a used (18,000 mi.) 2004 V8 with the LSE package in Oct. 2006. Had absolutely no problems so far (42k mi.) Very well "built" luxury sports sedan. Handles great--plenty of power--decent mileage* for a V8 with this power. Highly recommend this car because of value, quality and performance. If your seeking a nice used luxury sports sedan at an "affordable" price, then this car should be on your "list". The car runs fine on 89 octane (mid) gasoline, although 91 octane suggested by factory.
