A very nice looking and driving car. These cars are basically Jaguar S-types with a Lincoln body, Jag engine and Ford transmission. One of the best handling cars I've ever owned! This is the rare LSE edition. The last year the LSE was offered. Unique body treatments, including unique front fascia, rocker panels, rear fascia and chrome 8 spoke wheels. Very rare! Car has been well taken care of and drives very well. Very tight. Tracks and handles like a true sports car. This chassis, the DEW98 from Ford, was the basis for the '05 up Mustang and was shared by not only the Jag S, but the Ford Thunderbird as well. A great chassis! The interior is near new. No flaws are visibly present. The drivers seat shows minimal wear, but no discoloration or holes, just slight wrinkling you'd expect from a car with half the mileage. The exterior has one rear door that was refinished. The match could have been better, but it's not enough for me to worry about. The front fascia has the typical bug/rock chips you would expect from 8 years and 118k miles of driving. The rear fascia has one spot on it from a car wash that could use touched up. All VERY minor stuff.
The car had a very clean Ford Oasis report and all maintenance was done up through the warranty period ending. The car has newer Toyo Proxes-4 tires on it. They have about 6k miles, and were recently rotated. I use Mobil One synthetic in all my cars and the oil was recently changed. If your looking for a great sports sedan, that looks expensive and drives like a Porsche for less than eight grand, then this is your car. Newer Brembo slotted/drilled rotors have been installed along with ceramic pads. The thing stops on a Canadian dime! A new Motorcraft battery was installed a couple months ago. Coil packs have just been replaced, and the dreaded transmission solenoid pack has been replaced as well. Car runs and drives like it should and then some. No disappointments! Mileage will change, as it is my daily driver. The car also has a BEL remote radar/laser detector installed ($1200 new). Works VERY well! (don't ask how I know!) Car is priced well below Kelly Blue book. Bought a new Cadillac and this has to go. Check my feedback, I've bought and sold many cars on eBay and all transactions have been very positive. Fly in and drive it home. You'll love this car! |

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Ford recalls 90,736 vehicles due to engine valve issue
Sun, Sep 1 2024Ford will recall 90,736 vehicles as engine intake valves in the vehicles may break while driving, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Saturday. The recall impacts certain 2021-2022 Bronco, F-150, Edge, Explorer, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with either a 2.7L or 3.0L Nano EcoBoost engine, the NHTSA said. According to documents posted by NHTSA and sourced from the automaker, "The engine intake valves may break while driving, which can result in engine failure and a loss of drive power." Following an investigation that started in January, 2022, Ford found 22 instances where "the engine intake valves fractured and fell into the combustion chamber of the engine causing catastrophic engine damage." The automaker's analysis continues: "Ford identified that the potential root cause of the failures was engine intake valve failure due to valves that exceeded the designed specification for hardness, were brittle, and more likely to fracture. Ford determined that this was due to the supplier’s grinding processes and the sensitivity of the intake valve material to grinding processes that were not within control specifications. The intake valve material was changed for vehicles produced after October 31, 2021." Fixing the problem will require replacement of the entire engine. "Dealers will inspect each vehicle to determine its cumulative number of engine cycles. For vehicles that do not meet the engine cycle threshold, dealers will accumulate high revolutions per minute (rpm) engine cycles per a service procedure. Engines will be replaced on vehicles that do not pass the engine cycle accumulation," Ford says.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
