I am a Navigator fanatic.This our 3rd one.We test drove the other SUV'S and kept coming back to the Navi. Comparing price and equip. hands down the Navi. is the best bang for the buck.The handeling is great.It has the power that we need if we want to tow the boat or trailer the Harley.It is sporty yet luxurious @ the same time. It is also big enough for me and the family. I would only trade this for another unless a new SUV were born

great truck. feels solid. plenty of room in front for tall people. adequate room in back for shorter people. smooth. the navigation surpasses mercedes benz in ease of usage. also has more color and features. air condition seats work well - and do make a difference. fairly well insulated for its size. no concern in driving over damaged roads.

This is a big truck and I love every inch of it ! Lincoln nailed it when they came up with this body style . Once inside the cabin you are treated to the Lincoln comfort that I remember as a kid . It definitely rules the road , and knowing that it is the "most powerful SUV on the planet " only adds to the experience . I only hope when Ford changes the truck in '06 or '07 , it doesn't ruin the appeal this one has .

I love my Navigator except the interior. The predcessor's interior was perfect; but it is as if it was redesigned purely for the sake of change! The driver windows' controls on the center console; on a bright day, you can't see the information readouts [the white lettering is virtually invisible,even at night without taking your focus off the road]; the console lid makes access to the console contents very difficult; the power outlet is out of reach of the driver; and what idiot assumed that just because you want to play CDs that you don't need a tape player? Since the interior is where I spend my time, my next SUV will be an Esclade!

I like the Navigator but having an '04 Escalade also lets me compare easily. The Navigator is tighter and steers better than Escalade but Escalade rides smoother and has more power.

this is the best car i have ever owned in my life! It looks soooo nice inside and out. It has the coolest features a car can have. its performance is stunning, it has awesome towing capacity and payload, and acceleration is brisk enough for me. Braking is awesome, and it literally stops as well as my 2003 viper. This car also handles like a car, very agile. It is very capacious, and my children dont complain about space.

This is my third Navigator. The drivers side rear door has rattled since the vehicle was new. They have tried to fix it unsuccessfully many times. The passenger side view mirror does not return to the correct position after repositioning when backing up. This is a serious safety hazard because you don't realize the mirror is not in the right place until you need it. Air conditioner output is not adequate for North Carolina.

I love my car! I drive 36,000miles/yr for work and driving my three sons to all their sports. I had a sub before and I liked but it did not drive like this!! This excelerates very well and I don't have road noises. I have to uae the cruise control because it doesn't seem like you are going 80. Traveling w/ kids is great w/ the dvd. My husband rode in the back and watched movies too, he said this is the way to go!! I've riden in all the seats and the third row doesn't have much head room so I don't know about a tall person sitting back there but I'm only 5'4" so I had plenty of room. 2nd row leg room is better than the sub! I love this ride!!

I love the way the Navigator drives, It drives a lot smaller than it really is. I pull a 21' trailer with 4 Harley dressers and after you get them rolling you almost forgit they're back there. The problem comes as you try to get them rolling, as you pull away from a stop light you can watch the gas guage go down faster than the speedo goes up. All kidding aside the Navigator is a really great SUV, I would like to see more power, as for the gas mileage, you knew it was going to be bad before you purchased it, so no complaints

The ride is ultra smooth. The vehicle is totally responsive and surprisingly easy to maneuver. The load leveling feature is remarkable. The comfort is the best I've had in 40 years of driving. It has more features than I imagined and a CD to show off the vehicle.

The smoothest most comfortable suv on the road. I traded my 2002 Cadillac for the 2004 Navigator and what a difference! A more solid, well put together vehicle. It's quite and a pleasure to drive. The navigation system is all touch screen and voice controlled with one dvd covers the entire USA. The power fold seats and power fold side mirrors are great, as well as the automatic liftgate.

Interior; Fit & Finish very good - equal to any other Lincoln on the market. Adjustable to multi-driver families. Holds up well with children, safety beyond compare. Exterior; Fit & Finish best in class. Ease of use (towing, entry, exit), drivability with small turning radius, great ride, best in class all around.

The Navigator was our choice given our criteria of a few specifics such as a "real" third row seat, luxury appointments, and car-like ride. Lincoln did well with the overall exterior/interior design. Quality, on the other hand, is a whole different story. In this area, Lincoln can learn a few things from Toyota. At the end of the day, I like the Navigator. But my next purchase will most likely be a foreign car (read: Toyota).

I turned in my 2001 for the 2004. I want my 2001 back. Ride is far superior to 2001, brakes are far superior to 2001 and stability is much improved, but. ......... there is too much wind noise, and the new transmission has very weird shift points, and you find yourself always up at 2200/2600 rpm until it finally upsifts. The navigation system is not what I expected. Plus you cannot alter your route or preferences once you pass 9 mph.The funny thing is that the two cup holders up front will not hold the travel mugs Lincoln give you, the handles collide. The new sound system is not as good as the 2001 where you could adjust acoustics

Smoothest riding SUV on the market, Great seat space for families. Gas mileage better than expected. Downside-terrible quality interior materials for a vehicle this expensive. Leather is paper thin, interior trim parts that look like platinum has a sprayed paint look. We looked at all other SUV's and this one rides great, has alot of space, and good performance but interior is so cheaply made we will probably have to have interior redone in 4-years.

We have happily owned a White 1999 model. My mother loved my Navigator so much, she got a 2000 White Navigator. But we thought we would seriously look at other 2004 competitors to purchase. They CAN NOT hold a candle to the Navigator. Everyone we know who are very recent owners of new SUV's and has seen our 2004 Navi, they are kicking themselves for not looking at a Navigator. We get so many OOOOHHS and AAAAHHS. After being years as a Mercedes family, we are thrilled to now be a Navigator SUV family. A 1999 White Navigator and a 2004 Black Navigator grace our garage, and our beautiful 1999 Sedan 320 Mercedes must now sit in the driveway.

I wanted a larger suv for hauling a boat, but if I wouldn't have known then what I know now I probably wouldn't have bought the navigator. It has been into the shop many times over again to fix different warranty things. It's an '03 and it should feel new but it doesn't because of the many problems.

I love my new navigator. I recently traded in a 98 for a 2004 and they are the same but better. The dash is easy to read and the trip computer is far easier to set with the new version. My only complaint is the location on the steering wheel of the radio controls. I seem to often touch the media button and have to then reset my CD player back to what I was listening to. The power lift gate and running boards are supper cool and I like the moon roof.
