I own the 2003 Aviator, and am quite satisfied with it. The one drawback, as anyone may guess, is the fuel economy. This vehicle is fun to drive, is very comfortable, and attracts a lot of attention as the "baby Navigator". Dealer service is great, as the 2003 model came with an excellent warranty package. One of my favorite features of this vehicle is the steering wheel- mounted controls for the audio system, A/C, etc. I also like the second-row captain's chairs with the roomy console. The Aviator has a generous cargo capacity with the third-row seats folded flat into the floor. The V8 engine is very powerful, which a former 4-cylinder driver like myself has to ge accustomed to.
There's good and bad

We were on a major highway during a surprise white-out snowstorm. Cars in front and behind us spun sideways. Only way to go was down into ravine between east and west lanes to avoid accident. My husband steered the Aviator down into ravine and after 100 feet we rode out and back up onto the highway, NEVER sliding or spinning out of control. This car has saved our family. The handling in all types of weather has been wonderful. Cons: Very restricted seating-leg room, etc; poor gas mileage; cheap interior materials: leather poor quality, fake wood. Have owned many expensive vehicles, can't understand why Lincoln skimped on these. Front seat backs need to be powered. Heating vent burns legs

2005. Bought in 2007 for $22K with 35K miles. 2022 - now has 205,000 miles and it still tows my '88 18' SeaCraft. One of the best cars I have ever owned.

Fun to drive & don't take up my whole garage. Most of my driving is turnpike avg 17.5 mpg. Not bad for the Navigator look without the bite at the pump.

This truck has exceptional power and torque for an SUV. It's very comfortable, with ride, steering and handling that is much improved over the Explorer. It steering feel is light, and not truck-like, but more like the Jaguar X-Type we previously owned. The vehicle has a strong down-the-road presense, especially from front 3/4 views.
Aviator...Worst Car Ever Built

This is the worst car ever built! Ford used cheap Korean bearings that disintegrate as soon as your car goes out of warranty. Amazing at how well Ford could time this. Nothing but a mechanical, electrical nightmare that has almost killed my family twice. Ford should do the right thing and recall all aviators.

You may have higher engine noise slightly but you expect that when all its competitors have v6 and you're driving a 300 horsepower v8 that's what you get with power. It is a true shame that this SUV is coming of the market it is a one of a kind SUV

My driving experience is very luxury and it handles the road great. It provides awesome entertainment for children or guests and at the same time makes driving a relaxing experience. Reduces the stress on long drives and short.
