Reliability
18 years, 100,000 miles and still beautiful and solid. Great ride, smooth and quiet not a spec of rust. Just had the A/C charges for the first time ever. Replaced the original tires and wheels recently, new brakes, rotors and calipers. Beats paying $50K for a new one!

I absolutely love my '02 Ls. Super smooth ride, tight handling, powerful, loaded, and good looking car. This machine is badass! 5 stars.

Overall great performance
It's a great car but when something does go wrong it's very high to get it fixed and it's hard to work on so most of the time you have to put it in a shop so there goes the weeks pay. But overall I love my Lincoln. The ride quality is great and when running right the performance is incomparable

Don't purchase a used car or Lincoln model
I bought my vehicle used and it has had problems ever since I got it. I don't recommend this vehicle to anyone. I should've been smart and purchased a new vehicle. It has to take the 93 gas too and is around $50 to fill up. Please do not buy a Lincoln model car if you want your car to last
