2003 Lincoln LS Review

Significantly improved for 2003.
Interior
The interior of the Lincoln LS is understated, in a more European style. There are no gaudy trim pieces. Instead the interior is cozy and cockpit-inspired. The leather seats feel cushy in the Lincoln tradition. They are comfortable, though not as supportive as the seats found in a Mercedes-Benz or BMW. The driver and front passenger seat offer power adjustments, with three-way memory for the driver. The tilt-and-telescope steering wheel and exterior mirrors are tied into the memory seating system. And when the ignition is switched off, the driver's seat automatically moves to the back of its track, which makes getting in and out easier.

A canopy shields the instruments. On Premium models, real burled walnut trim brightens the doors and the area around the controls. Sound system and climate controls lie in a large center stack, easily accessible by either driver or passenger. Most controls work well, and many have been upgraded for 2003. A new center console features expanded storage, two power points and improved cup holders. A new sliding armrest moves back and forth, adjusting for the position of the driver's seat. 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 rear seats are slightly raised for a better forward view, and rear-seat headroom, according to Lincoln, is as good as in any car in this class. We found the legroom is reasonable as long as the front seats are not pushed too far back. Reading lamps have been added for 2003.

The rear seatback splits 60/40 and can be folded down to expand the trunk, unusual for a luxury car, but a great convenience for carrying longer items. The trunk offers a reasonable amount of space, though some wish it was larger.
