Amazing 08 Navigator

I bought my Navigator a few months ago and about a month after buying it we were in a 5 car collision on the interstate my navigator came out of the wreck with a dented bumper that's it... IT SAVED MY FAMILY'S LIVES INCLUDING THE 8 MONTH TWINS IN THE 3RD ROW.... you could never get a better vehicle and gas mileage it pretty great considering its an SUV with a big V8.I love my navigator it's alot better than my 2000 expedition Eddie Bauer! This vehicle saved my family's lives on multiple occasions since I bought it, if you are in a position to get a Lincoln Navigator do so you will not regret it, it is a fantastic traveling and local vehicle, the best part is that you don't have to have premium fuel.... For someone who's had the LINCOLN experience you will not regret buying...! (Update ... I have now had my 2008 Lincoln Navigator for almost 2 years now and is is the most fantastic vehicle I have ever owned I recently hit a deer a 40 mph and it only cracked the bumper and the grill which the insurance covered but I was completely shocked there wasn't ALOT more damage but that's it the brakes immediately responded it didn't slide or screach nothing it was amazing. I can go on and on at how great this car has been but to put it simply I would definitely buy another!!!)

I've had my Navigator for a few months now. I was leasing a 2008 GMC Yukon Denali before I decided to buy. I originally bought a 2007 Cadillac Escalade but took it back because it was too much like the Denali. The Escalade does handle better and has more power than the Nav but I do like the Navs interior a bit better. Love the 3rd row seat and the power fold feature. Denali and Escalade 3rd row was terrible. Also like that the Nav can switch from 2W to 4W drive. Denali and Escalade was AWD. Nav takes Regular Fuel while Denali and Escalade took Premium Fuel. Overall I am satisfied with the Nav though there is room to improve on it to better compete with other luxury brands.

This is my third Navigator. All have been 2 year leases. I intend to buy this one at lease end. My first two had some electrical problems, especially with the easy exit system. This one been back once to replace the rear dvd, but other than that no problems. I love to drive this vehicle, especially on road trips. Gas mileage is low, but to be expected for a car this size. I really love the backup camera where it is in the reaeview mirror as it keeps sun glare to a minimum, whereas in dash cameras have that problem. Perfect family vehicle. The olny thing that keeps this car from being perfect is blue tooth.

I got into large SUV's when I purchase my first Ford Expedition. I owned two of those and then upgraded to the Lincoln Navigators. I had a 2004 for several years, sold it to a relative and then purchased a 2008 Navigator two years ago...it was a true cream puff with only 74k miles and I purchased an extended warranty for it. So far I have only had to replace the back AC actuator which was covered by the warranty. I recently took it in for an oil change and my mechanic said it is in perfect condition....a 12 year old vehicle...I love this thing. It is comfortable, gets 17- 19 mpg on the highway which is awesome for a large SUV. I tow a 20' Seadoo boat with it, handles like nothing is behind it. The only down side on mine is, no bluetooth and original owner before me didn't put in a back up camera because they purchased it to tow a camper, so didn't need one. So we use a bluetooth adapter and a wireless back up camera on it. Ours holds 8 people so it is great for when the family comes for holidays...as we can fit everybody comfortably even with toddler seats...It is built like a tank and I have no doubt if I was ever in an accident, it would protect me and my family. My 2004 used Premium fuel, so I am glad the 2008 went to using regular gas...saves at the pump. Since the newer ones cost as much as a house...I plan to keep this one til the tires come off...then will seek out one a few years newer...Lincoln knows how to build an SUV...will never try anything else. Between my two Lincoln Navigator purchases, I tried a used Buick Enclave...had it in the shop more than I drove it for engine and transmission fluttering issues which were never resolved...after one year, I got rid of it. Will stick with Lincoln from now on...
