I wouldn't say "pretty good", but more like it was "ok". Let's compare to similar displacements of that era. Toyota/Lexus original LS400 with a 4.0 liter 1uz was putting out 250 back in 1989 and 300 by 1998 when they added variable value timing. Or.... Even look at the large 6 cylinder engines of the period as well. 3.5 liter Nissan VQ's we're at 260. Honda 3.5 J series 240, etc. So.... I'd say it was just "ok". Not good, not terrible.

This video was ok but they did not specify the fact that it performed bad because they said it had engine issues. It has a check engine light on , they both say the steering wheel was shaking at idle , so obviously it has multiple misfires and was running on most likely 3 or 4 cylinders. So with that they shouldn't have even did a a performance test or at least said why it performed bad. Like all cars if you get a good one and if you don't. As we know all cars have there issues no matter what brand or model you have now , owned and want.

If you had a 2005 mustang GT 5 speed and needed a family car, would this LS be a good trade?

I have a 2006 Lincoln ls and love it. Fast, sporty feel and very confortable. A car that was definitely misunderstood.

Not sure why the young guy keeps saying that most people don’t know or forgot the LS. It was never a “wanted” vehicle but most of us car guys know it very well as well as it’s history.

My mother bought one of these new in 2002 with the V8. I grew up in it. I learned to drive in it and I eventually got it for a graduation gift then crashed it. Typical teenage stuff. But I remember going to the dealer to fix stuff like the coil packs and I think a hydraulic cooling system that had failed however when it was given to me the car had over 150k miles on it. My grandfather wanted it and he’s still driving it with well over 250k miles that I know of.

I got one these for my little brother for his collage car he’s driven it from 159,000 to 247k still going strong he’s put 1800 into the car in that time and still driving it daily even was a delivery driver for a while great car safe reliable great car

I had a 2004 model and I really miss that car. By it being my 3rd Lincoln, I previously had a 1996 Continental and a 2002 Continental and by comparison the LS V8 was what Lincoln intended it to be.

Just bought a 2000 LS V8 with only 10,538 original miles and in excellent condition. It was stored in a garage year round and I don’t think anyone ever sat in the back or passenger seat! I love it!

Hey actually it was to compete with the 5 series BMW and the E-Class Mercedes Benz. It was the transmission’s that were not reliable and the dreaded water filling soaking up #4 ignition coil. Other than that they were pretty cool cars. The V8 was the better option when it came to power and acceleration.

These cars deserved more investment from Ford. There should have been more generations. 1:23 - this was far bigger than the 3 Series and C Class.

You need to replace the entire cooling system at once with all OEM motorcraft parts. Ends up being about $900 in parts. If you do one failed piece at a time, or use autozone/advanced/etc parts store replacements, it will never be fixed. Same applies to the misfire issue. When it starts, do ALL plugs and coils at once with OEM motorcraft coils only. Anything else will leave you stranded again.

The LS ran well when it ran. But it did have a lot of issues. The Thunderbird was basically the same car with a different body. The engine was great. But the suspension was a weak point. And electrical gremlins were common. Repairs were expensive as well.

As the owner of a Wedgewood Blue 2001 Lincoln LS, I can say that it was the size of a 5-series, not a 3-series. It had 95% of the handling of a 5-series at 75% of the price. If Ford wouldn’t have neutered the 3.9L and just used the Jaguar 4.2L, right out of the gate, this would have been an even bang-for-the-buck. Plus, that chassis could handle 400hp, so it should have gotten a supercharged version. The 2003->2006 versions had a 280hp version of the 3.9L, and while better, it still wasn’t a fire breather. The THX sound system in the navigation based cars was awesome, though.

I honestly don’t remember a single car that day other than the Lincoln.

FYI, This Lincoln LS would have been comparable to a 5 series BMW not the 3. Additionally this platform was also used on the retro T Bird from 2002 to 2005. At the time, this was a huge leap forward for Lincoln to go to a serious European styled sport sedan. Always admired these cars but never owned one. I do own the platform sister car (T Bird). I agree with your comment about it being associated with the T Bird in a more positive way. I think if you would have found a better preserved car with lower mileage you would have been pleasantly surprised. BTW, reliability on the T Bird has been exceptional with nearly 80K miles on it.

I actually like the way they look

Was Genuinely my favorite car from that generation - always seemed to look like a sleeker BMW of the same sorta year to me. really liked it.

My dad had one that became mine. I threw so much money at that car trying to keep it running. It drove great but was a maintenance nightmare. It made it to almost 200k miles before engine gave out.

I have my 2006 Lincoln LS sitting peacefully in my garage until she wants to play😁 all black leather interior, wood grain, aluminum coolant reservoir tank and all kinds of work on it but she runs beautiful ❤️

I have the V6 Jaguar S-Type over here in England. The traction control can be disabled on it and there is a Sport Mode button for the transmission. The V8 was more powerful but possibly not as reliable as the V6. I wouldn't call an S-Type a 'sports car' by any definition, to my mind they were designed more like cruiser. One that's running properly should be incredibly smooth driving - like wafting down the road on a cushion of air.

I sold a 1954 Ford F-100, owned since 1980, to buy a 2006 V6 S-type and the seller of the Jag sold his restored '55 F-100 to buy a brand new Ford pickup. Compared to the old pickup, the S-type is a nightmare for shade tree mechanic work but it is worth it. I've had them all, Lincolns, Mercedes, Bmws, Cadillacs and the S-type is really the first car I've felt like keeping on the road, no matter what. After a six hour drive you hop out of the thing as fresh as when you started. No auto has done that as well in my driving experience. Reliability, buy a Honda and feel good about low maintenance.

It wasn't a Jaguar with Lincoln badges, as these two insist on suggesting. The DEW98 platform was developed after Ford bought Jaguar, and involved engineers from Ford and Jaguar. It was then used under the LS, S-Type, and Thunderbird. The V8 was the one part of the car that actually was a Jaguar design from the get go. The V6, while a Jaguar evolution, was based on the Ford Duratec V6.

I remember when this thing first came out. Beautiful car. Always like the styling of it.

I have one! It's such a perfect car, I love it so much

the LS replaced The Continental Mark series after that was in production 53-61 and 1969-1998 first with the reintroduction of Mark III up To Mark VIII the best selling Gen was Mark IV with 280,000 which is similar to what the Toyota Camry sold in 1990 alone though if Lincoln bought that series back as a Hybrid starting price would be about $56,000 which is a price jump of more than 30% over a fully loaded Camry XSE V6 which is roughly $43,000 when everything is considered My uncle had a Mark VII designer series when I was a young girl loved that car Champaign Beige and cream two tone exterior with Cream interior and white partial landau roof over the back seat

If you want that car to launch, or at least something approaching a launch... you have to disable ATC and throw it in D4 NOT D5. D5 is the gearing which starts it in 2nd gear for MPG.

Isn’t that the dashboard of the 2002 Thunderbird?
