2000 Lincoln LS Review

A sporty Lincoln sedan? You bet it is!

Interior

If you were to be placed in the Lincoln LS with your eyes shut you'd probably guess you were in a European car once you opened your eyes. There are no gaudy trim pieces or large cushy armchair-style seats. Instead the interior is understated. Almost too understated. A canopy shields the instruments from passengers. Sound system and climate controls are in a large centerpiece that is easily accessible by either driver or passenger. In effect the driver is cocooned in a cockpit, which adds to the sporty nature of the car.

Most controls work well, though I found the mirror adjustment switch hidden from view and awkward to use. There are several audio packages costing $565 to $695 including a six-disc CD changer placed conveniently in the glovebox.

All seats are finished in leather; realistic burled walnut trim is used on doors and around the controls. The driver and front passenger seat offer power adjustment controls. An optional package allows the driver's seat to automatically move back, which makes getting in and out easier. A memory function maintains seating positions for two people. The remote key fob can be used to open all windows for quick ventilation on hot days.

Rear-seat passengers are taken care of nicely. The seats have a slightly raised position for a better forward view. Yet rear-seat headroom is as good as any in this class, according to Lincoln. Legroom is reasonable as long as the front seats are not positioned too far back. The rear seat back can be folded down in a 60/40 split for access to the trunk; that's unusual for a luxury car, but a great convenience for carrying skis and bulky cargo. The trunk offers a reasonable amount of space. Next Page
