'03 Aviator

First off, we love the 4 valve DOHC engine. Have it in a 97 Cobera, '04 Mustang Mach-1 '04 Mercury Marauder and the '03 Aviator, After ~25K Barb gets about 20MPG on average, not bad, we think. Sadly, they're discontinuing this great vehicle, so we're turning ours in for an '05 Aviator. We have never had a single service issue, and the dealership has been absolutely wonderful when it's time for regular service, free of charge, of course. We usually keep our vehicles for 100K+ miles, but the deals are too good to pass up the last ones.

Driven for 6 months before off-center collision @ 50-55 mph with a 2003 Ford Ranger. I walked away with no injury. This vehicle is impressive. Agile for this size: no problems parking in any parking lot or street. Road trips with family and "stuff" are very comfortable:acceleration/passing no problem, even fully loaded with a/c on.I would buy another one of these.The Aviator's positive journal reviews are well deserved. One criticism:"plain" heated seats not an option:heated-and-cooled seats is a package. David M Brown kinichiwah@aol.com

This is a great car for driving-plush great ride. Easy to park gets around in all weather. Lots of power. Terrible gas mileage(13-15 max) city/highway. And too small of a gas tank (20 gallon)- I am filling up constantly-once a week.

I'm 50/50 on the Aviator. However, the brushed silver console scartches so easy and if you buy this vehicle to truck kids around, it get's scratched up quickly. If you use all three rows, forget putting anything in the back. I can barely fit an umbrella stroller. Lastly, I never had a V8, and didn't realize how much gas it eats up. If I had to do it again, I would go with a Volvo or Acura SUV. I told the dealer I wasn't happy with my choice and he basically said tough.
