2004 Lincoln LS consumer reviews

Bough my 04 LS used,very classy car by looks exterior and interior.Smooth on the road but The Transmission shifted alot at only 50k miles. Parts are very expensive not your local Mechanic fix kind of car.

My LS is the most comfortable car I've ever owned. I'm converted, my family has always been GM owners.

Bought my 04 LS used in 2009, excellent handling & performance, decent gas mileage however wish it ran on 87 octane, requires 91. Built with Jaguar suspension & engine, not one problem so far. Interior is tight but very comfortable. I plan to keep it for a long time.

this car looks and rides nice BUT.........it is very expensive to fix AND it breaks ALOT.......buy at your own risk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the peppy, quick performance. The clean lines are typically Euro. The Black look is classic styling. It is sporty yet comfortable.

I was not taken with the LS upon introduction and held out on purchasing a replacement vehicle until I had to..when I did I purchased a new 2004 LS V8, because it offered and end of year price tag in February 2005 and it conveniently accommodated my ailing wife who was no longer able to walk. Once we drove the LS for a while it was terrific. The ride was much better than expected for a sport version and there is plenty of power but not at all bad on gas. City averages about 21 and we've gotten nearly 24 on the road. Lot's of toys and convenience touches. It has all the options except for rear back up radar. We also bought the Ford "mobile-ease" hands free telehone connection which although it isn't well integrated with the dash after market it none the less works great with boothtooth phone. And the v8 has power to spare for highway travel. I was relucant to get the LS and now that it has been replaced I am not at all impressed with the MKS/MKZ. It is esstentially the LS repackaged on the outside and with less power. Other than the new microsoft "Snyc" it does have any new features of note...compared to my 2004 LS. Also, the luxury side of Lincoln seems to have gone the way of its parent Ford Motor Company. Too bad cause the Mark's were very nice vehicles and the LS though not a Mark turned out to be a fine replacement. I wouldn't hesititate to recommend buying a used LS if it had low miles and was well maintained. I now have 42,000 on the 2004 LS and am debating whether to keep it. Its a very good model for the money in my book and while the replacements don't seem to measure up Lincoln service at my dealer has been exceptional. Lincoln would have been smarter to offer the LS as a Hybrid version as they seemed to have finally worked the bugs out it over the first couple years.

I've owned many other expensive cars but saved thousands by purchasing my V-8 LS, I also didn't sacrafice anything.

The car looks really nice, with clean lines, and flowing body panels. The engine has enough power (V6) to get you up to highway speed quickly. The traction control comes on even if you drive over a rock sometimes. Front end slides when cornering during rain or snow pretty badly. And really bad resale value. Good if you want a car that has good radio and dont have to drive very far. Bad if you want a good handling car.
