the interior needs some work, when all the seats are laid down there are several gaps in the floor. this is not good.it needs to be perfectly flat all over with no holes. it would hard to sleep in this car if you had to.

Poorly built and noisy

Looks nice and handles well, but fairly noisy. The decorative panels on the doors just fell off when the vehicle was only 9 months old!

I bought my Ultimate 2004 Navigator, loaded with everything you can get on one....I love it. I also own a 1999 navigator....The new is wonderful, it's all I'll every drive.

Should Have Known no to buy another Ford

Should have known not to buy another Ford product. Every one I have had has been trouble. It's amazing that they still have any customers. So far in 7.000 mi. the front seats are falling apart, the windshield looks like it was installed by a 2 year old, the paint quality, interior fit and finish are a joke and the dealer just ordered a whole new rear end because it whines! Someone needs to explain to Ford that when a customer spends 50K plus for a Lincoln it needs to be built better than a Explorer! Why don't these guys get it? My advice is to buy Japanese... it's a shame but they just do a much, much better job! I am going to sell this piece of junk soon and go back to Toyota.

I like the way the car rides on the open freeway. It rides smoothly and provides enough power when I need it.

Doing ok so far

Had my Navigator 1.5 years now. Was an impulse purchase for my now ex wife. Usually do research but wife loved her friends. Was real scared after purchase when I read the horror reviews. So far, few problems. Seats, what were they thinking? Like parchment, but still holding up. I've had none of the electrical problems that have plagued reviews. Biggest complaint, dealership serves Lincoln, and Mercury. Service area is like the waiting room for a middle school. Infiniti and Lexus have comfortable waiting areas, and give loaners in a snap. After spending this type of money, service experience is like a Ford.

Best Vehicle on the Planet

We bought the Navigator off the showroom floor. After wanting one for several years we finally were able to buy one--a white one. It has been everything we expected it to be. It was built in the United States by American workers at Ford Motor Company. Its quality and workmanship are reflected in the outstanding performance we get from owning it. We buy American as much as possible. Our family has driven only Fords since the early 1900s. Product loyalty is an important factor We'll continue to buy Ford products and support Ford Motor Company. The Navigator is great.

Nicest of the full size suv's

Nothing compares to the ride of a Lincoln. I drove the competition and they were not as comfortable or as luxurious as the Navigator.

A great & elegant SUV

The ride is super quiet & ultra smooth. The V-8 engine is very responsive and the vehicle is easy to maneuver for a large SUV. At 34,000 miles, there have been absolutely no warranty issues whatsoever. It has all of the features expected of a luxury vehicle & more. This ownership experience is the best I've had in 50 years when comparing it to Lexus, Infinity, Cadillac, Mercury, Thunderbird, Porche, Corvette & many other Lincoln cars that I have owned. American produced automobiles are now superior VALUES when compared to foreign owned companies. We are now considering a trade for a new Navigator.

My '99 Navigator went 45K mile with only a seat heater repair. This ('04) baby now with 40K has issues more often. Head light repairs (3) which is not just a bulb. My local dealer has to order parts which means multiple trips for something that used to be a 5 minute job. Air compressor for front suspension replaced. Both front door glass windows are scratched vertically for which the dealer says I don't keep the car clean. The car went back for bad spark plugs when new. Has a whining drivetrain bearing noise dealer says is the tires. Tomorrow she's going in for ABS and Advanced Trac warning lights. Finding power window switches while driving is a challenge. When it's off warranty it's gone

Satisfied Owner of several Nav's

This third Nav I have owned. Very satisfied with this and other Navs. Fuel economy is only fair with an Avg. 14.2 MPG.Very good dealer support with few required service items. Dealer has "tires for life" program and recently replaced 4 Mich. tires for Fl tax and labor only. Only feature I did not like, the elec. window controls in center console, has been relocated to door for 07.

Everything about the 04 is greatly improved over the 98 with the exception of the engine.While the 98 had a 16 valve engine, it took regular gas. There is no improvement in the gas milage with the 32 valve engine and it takes only premium gas,and plenty of it.Plus, the engine is a little tired. It could also do very nicely with at least a five speed transmission
