My Aviator is just over 12 months old. About 6 months ago, completely out of the blue, it developed a couple of squeaks and rattle sounds that should not be in a vehicle of this price. I've had the car in to the dealer several time. They fixed the dashboard issue but have not been able to resolve the problem sound around the sunroof.

I purchased a 2021 Aviator Grand Touring II. Has everything except the rear seat screen system. First things first.. besides the distinctive exterior, the interior is just fantastic. Really comfortable, quiet and pleasing to the eye and touch. The air ride is great ... you still feel imperfections with from the tires on the pavement but the ride is very comfortable. I normally don't listen to anything when I drive to let me think internally, but the Revel sound system is truly stunning. Super crisp highs and accurate bass without being unnatural or boomy. Been averaging 31 miles per gallon in normal mode with the hybrid system doing it's thing. I've also not experienced any squeaks or rattles. The salesman mentioned that Lincoln had made a modification to a common rattle in the 2020 model years. The not perfect items for me owning the Aviator is the whole thing is so high tech that there is always something going on with the car.. little machine noises doing some thing or other.. sometimes in breaking you can feel some magic going on with the pedal (i think associated with the change in engine/electric regenerative breaking). But, all in all being my first Hybrid ... i'm sold on electric cars. A lot of trips involving 30 minutes or less drive time I'm on pure electricity and it is so quiet yet incredibly powerful.

After owning several BMW’s, especially X3 and X5 we decided to give the new Lincoln Aviator a go. The Aviator exterior is down right beautiful and the interior is second to none. Compared to the BMW X5 interior all I can say about the Lincoln is WOW. Leather is soft & supple, real wood trim and the controls are very simple to use. We purchased the Grand Touring Hybrid and the power is incredible. The V6 alone is 400hp and couple that with almost 100hp from the electric motors you are looking at almost 500hp. Combined the hp with the 630 foot pounds of torque and you have a rocket on your hands. Combined electric and gas and you are looking at over 50 mpg. One feature I love is I don’t have to use premium gas, only regular which in the long run saves you money. Way to go Lincoln you out did yourself on this one. UPDATE: Purchased or 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring approximately 1-1/2 years ago. Right out of the gate the check engine light came on after only 1 week. I thought to myself “ what’s up”? Took it right in to the dealership and they took it right in and took care of the issue, said it was just a glitch. Whether that was true or not we never had this problem again. Secondly we had a driver’s seat start making a popping noise. Long story short after the second visit they found some fasteners that where loose and broken so they were replaced, end of issue. All in all the aviator has served us well. MPG, whether you are using the battery, gas or both it does really well. Anywhere from 27mpg upward. The exterior styling is fantastic and the interior is second to none of the other luxury class SUV’s. Power wise, all I can say is get ready for a rocket ride. 0 to 60mph in less than 6 seconds. WOW! Why we bought the Lincoln? Exterior styling fantastic, interior, as I said second to none. Overall performance great. I’m a true Bimmer fan, owned several, but this Lincoln stole my heart. Don’t get me wrong, I still love Bimmers, but if this Lincoln continues to shine I just might be staying with a Lincoln. Keep up the great work Lincoln, we live you.

2021 Grand Touring Hybrid

I Love This Ride. I have had this car since April of 2021. Everything mentioned below such as paint flaws, door dings, satellite radio issues has happened. The satellite seems to be because of its updates which sucks especially when you’re on the road but once it’s complete it goes back to normal a little inconvenience. The paint effect I found two after purchasing the vehicle but the dealer took care of it. Although it took a week, they provided me a rental and picked up my vehicle from my house. They did an amazing job on those defects. As for the dings I purchased a warranty which is well worth it. The dealer removed three dings. Immaculate job. Got a free rental at no cost and paid nothing all for just paying $300 for the ding and rim protection. As for the noise vibration I had that had that happened to me and discovered that it was the strip below the front windshield. I love the hybrid option on this vehicle. I know sometimes it says maximum charge and mileage range is 18 miles but I’ve gotten anywhere up to 24 miles per charge. What I have noticed is if all you do is drive your vehicle during charges without consuming fuel the vehicle a smart enough to eventually cause you to use your fuel especially if you haven’t filled up your tank within two months. The vehicle is smart who wants to have two months worth of unused gas in the tank causes buildup Finally I am vested in a electric vehicle outlet well worth the money especially if you’re only driving 10-12 miles each way to work. This baby is well worth it. The HUD is awesome. My gosh, the driver and passenger seat with the massage so comfortable. We’ve taken this car to Tampa and Panama City Florida from Charlotte North Carolina such a comfortable ride and so powerful. Thank you for making an amazing vehicle and providing the service at your dealership Mark Ficken/Felix Sabates Lincoln
