Tl: I liked the TL a lot, but after scanning their bulletin boards like this one for the LS...I learned about a nagging vibration issue they have. Nagging like the coil pack issue nags us LS owners. And lo and behold I felt it right away. It would drive me nuts. Other than that I liked...

I love my '03. Yeah, even though it's a V-6. I just do. But she's got 98K on her and I've got a little window here where I'm able to look for a replacement. I generally like to buy one-year old cars with low miles. Certified if possible. So I did all my research and narrowed it down to...

I don't have a 'floor' button but a button that toggles between floor, vent, defrost and combos thereof.

Is there a similar diagnostic for the '03+ ?

I am lukewarm about the interior of the 1st gen CTS. That's my reservation. Otherwise I really like the car. To be fair, when I sat in my first G35 I said, "eww, Nissan." And certain trim levels of the LS are nothing to brag about. So I'm not singling out Caddy.

'03 owner here. Love my LS. Got 96K on the clock and just starting to get itchy for a new ride. Actually I've been saying that for a few months but I finally went for a couple test drives this weekend. Drove the MKZ. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Absolutely nothing exciting about...

Jaguar made a wagon recently...looked pretty classy. I always liked the 5-Series BMW wagon from a few years back as well. I like the MKX and all, and the Nav and Aviator are/were nice too, but a wagon would be kind of cool and more Lincoln-like. Heck, Audi sells a bunch...Volvo too.

I find a microfiber cloth is my best friend in the car. I use a slightly damp one to clean nearly everything, leather included (after a through vacuuming). I found a leather conditioner product from Restoration Hardware of all places that seems to work the best. I tried Zaino's leather...

nothing for the v-6 huh?

I find that a cocktail straw bitten "closed" workes great. In other words, draw it through your teeth so it's flat. Then drag/pick it through following behind with a vac.

SO I've been waiting for the inevitable coil pack issue to crop up and I think it may have, except... Twice now, I've had all the symptoms, the stumbling, the CEL, erratic revs, etc. But both times happened after I had started the car for 30 seconds only to move it about 10 feet in the...

I bought a car with the same specs in SoCal two years ago for that price.

My driver's seat now kind of creaks and stumbles its way to the memory position during the EZ-in/out movement. Nothing is jammed in the tracks or anything. I hesitate to lube it just yet. Could it be the battery?

Happens a lot, happened to me. It's held by clips which if you look may or may not be re-usable. I had to get new part ass'y.

V-8, V-6...not all that concerned per se. BUT If the entire Lincoln lineup (not counting trucks) had no RWD that's not cool in my book. Back when the Conti came out FWD..fine...whatever...but there were LSCs and whatnot to keep it real. But AWD does nothing for me in SoCal and FWD? I...

OK, great. I see lots of them in rental car lots, truth be told. I'm not saying they won't sell...just that for me, as far as I'm concerned, it's not going to draw me into the Lincoln showroom. Well it did once, but...

yyyepp. Looks like the only market FLM is aiming at with the MK-Zeph is rental fleets. I mean seriously...the hot V-6 FWD sedan market segment has been around for years. And THIS is Lincoln's entry??? Give 'em 3 years to catch up...so by 2010, they'll be where the competition was in 2006.

I dropped my '03 off at the dealer for some brakes... Saw a brand new '06 sport on the floor, everything but a sunroof...$29,500. Sticker was $42K++. Four different kinds of rebates listed. Wow. Good thing it was white (yuck) or I might have..... Oh, and next to it was a new Zephyr...

I had a Merk XR4Ti (new in 1987) and put 135,000 happy mostly trouble free miles on it. Loved that car. But it was frustrating knowing what Ford did to compromise the thing: i.e., drum brakes in rear, balky 5-spd tranny, detuned motor so as not to "encroach" on 'stang SVO or T-Bird TC...

8, 6, it doesn't matter to me per se but I guarantee that Ford will be a few CIDs and HPs behind **ALL** other sixes in the market. And have some marketing data to support it. And the spread between Ford-Merc-Linoln won't be great enough to justify.
