I got into large SUV's when I purchase my first Ford Expedition. I owned two of those and then upgraded to the Lincoln Navigators. I had a 2004 for several years, sold it to a relative and then purchased a 2008 Navigator two years ago...it was a true cream puff with only 74k miles and I purchased an extended warranty for it. So far I have only had to replace the back AC actuator which was covered by the warranty. I recently took it in for an oil change and my mechanic said it is in perfect condition....a 12 year old vehicle...I love this thing. It is comfortable, gets 17- 19 mpg on the highway which is awesome for a large SUV. I tow a 20' Seadoo boat with it, handles like nothing is behind it. The only down side on mine is, no bluetooth and original owner before me didn't put in a back up camera because they purchased it to tow a camper, so didn't need one. So we use a bluetooth adapter and a wireless back up camera on it. Ours holds 8 people so it is great for when the family comes for holidays...as we can fit everybody comfortably even with toddler seats...It is built like a tank and I have no doubt if I was ever in an accident, it would protect me and my family. My 2004 used Premium fuel, so I am glad the 2008 went to using regular gas...saves at the pump. Since the newer ones cost as much as a house...I plan to keep this one til the tires come off...then will seek out one a few years newer...Lincoln knows how to build an SUV...will never try anything else. Between my two Lincoln Navigator purchases, I tried a used Buick Enclave...had it in the shop more than I drove it for engine and transmission fluttering issues which were never resolved...after one year, I got rid of it. Will stick with Lincoln from now on...

Did a ton of research before buying and its one thing to read specs/view pics online and another to actually get into a vehicle. I was a little on the fence about front grill styling, didn't seem to have the "wow factor". When you actually sit and drive this SUV you will see how it simply beats out all others. I really love this truck in all aspects. If you’re concerned about gas - you should be. I average 12 city/16 freeway. HOWEVER....I live in Central Texas and the weather is usually fair. If you drive with the windows down 1/4 way, with no HVAC, gas mileage shoots up to 15-16 City and 18-19 highway!! Not bad for such a large SUV.

I bought this 6 months ago. it took a few weeks to get the hang of driving it. now I love it. Plenty of power. Really comfortable. Tons of room for a 220 lb 6 footer like me. just drove 3400 miles in two weeks on vacation with tons of gear and bicycles on the back. made the trip very easy. 17.9 MPG on trip. about 15 commuting to work and around town. many really nice features

We currently have 130k miles and no major problems. The car has been very well maintained its entire life. The rear air suspension was a problem, but if you convert it to a normal suspension you can bypass the ongoing problems of an air suspension once it gets older. It is very large and comfortable and still feels like a new vehicle. It is smooth and quite and the acceleration is good for such a large vehicle, as you would expect it does not handle like a car but I think it handles fairly well for a giant SUV. We have the 4WD version so our MPG may not be as good as a RWD model but even still it is not bad for this size vehicle. We average around 15 MPG in mixed driving but on highway trips it can get around 20 MPG. It drives great on the highway in the rain. We have never towed with it but like the fact that the tow package is cover with a plastic cover in the back bumper so you don't see the tow hitch or wires. Even though its a 2007 I still think it looks good outside and inside, the interior does not feel dated, plus it has all the features you could want, even heated and cooled front seats. My wife has a new smaller 3 row SUV but doesn't mind driving the Navigator and likes being a passenger in it.
