General Comments:
I love my Lincoln LS, even though it has had a few problems. I purchased it used in December 2002.
It is a comfortable, smooth riding car. It's a great car to travel in for comfort. Although the rear isn't really roomy enough for the kids.
The acceleration has always been great.
It gets better gas mileage than my Dodge Durango.
This car is very quick, and handles the curves with exceptional quality.
This car is very expensive to repair. I would not recommend purchasing this car without an extended warranty.
Does not have a dip stick to check transmission fluid. It must be taken to dealer to be hooked up to diagnostics.
I can't believe I am having to replace the transmission at 82000 miles. I have been buying cars for 25 years, and I have owned 5 Buicks, 1 Dodge and this Lincoln, and I have never had to replace a transmission before. I didn't expect to in a Lincoln. My Durango had less problems, and I purchased it new and had it 5 years with close to 100,000 miles on trade in.
I will not purchase another Lincoln.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Thank you for your review. If it's accurate, it appears your car went 82000 miles, without ever checking the transmission fluid.
