Great road car, technological nightmare

I've owned the car for 7 years and have put 86,000 miles on it. It's a wonderful road car, with a solid feel, good acceleration from the turbocharged V6, and a surprisingly good 18-19 mpg on the highway. The seats are comfortable and the deploying running board makes it easy to enter and exit, important since my wife has had major back surgery. The cargo space is huge; we traveled with a 90 lb Lab and luggage for several weeks at a time and have lots of space. The instrument panel is easily readable and intuitive, and the hands free operation is convenient and adds to road safety. Here's the downside: despite numerous trips to the dealer, several of which involved 3-4 day stays, the car's electronic package still malfunctions frequently. It tells me it there's no key in the vehicle sometimes and won't start, sometimes giving the signal when the car is running and under way; the proximity sensors go off for no reason, the automatic windshield wipers turn on under perfectly dry conditions, and sometimes the Bluetooth phone connection does not recognize my phone. The problems are not constant nor have they interfered with the operation of the vehicle or it's safety, but it's annoying and undermines my confidence in the vehicle. Despite my satisfaction with the car's handling I will not buy another one.

You get lots of creature comforts with the 2016 Lincoln Navigator. I've only owned mine for 6 months and have put on about 7K miles. I really like the vehicle It's comfortable to drive and has a great turning radius for such a big vehicle. I've had absolutely no issues with it so far. The only complaint I have it around it's handling on rough roads - it throws everyone in the car around quite a bit and makes it uncomfortable. Other than that I love it. UPDATE: I've owned the Navigator for almost a year now and have put over 20K miles on it. Everything I before is still holding true. Good value.

Fantastic comfort, easy handling. Feels solid on all types of roads. Driving the Navigator allows you feel safe and secure knowing you have the safety of a bigger vehicle with all the on board safety features available. The Navigator is, by far, the most relaxing vehicle I have ever driven

Beautiful Vehicle

The Navigator is a beautiful vehicle to own and to drive. Obviously because of the size of the vehicle, fuel economy is not the best but really not too bad. Comfort is amazing and so is he ride. There is plenty of room in this vehicle for just about anything. Towing capabilities are wonderful and stopping if towing is above average. If you are going to be in an area where there is snow, I truly recommend getting this vehicle with 4 wheel drive. Have had no problems with the vehicle and I must say that with the twin turbos this large vehicle really gets up and moves. The navigation system gets a little getting used to but pretty good once you learn how to use it. The system was changed in 2016 witch helped. I very highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Pleasantly surprised by the V6's capabilities

Our family was in need of a vehicle capable of hauling our 7,000 lb travel trailer, a loaded car trailer that commonly weighs just north of 8,000 lbs, and seat 6 humans with their cargo on a regular basis; much to my disappointment my old 2006 Toyota Tundra no longer fit the bill for our family's needs. I searched for a while and found a great deal on this one owner Lincoln that had been taken care of very well. So far we have put 15k miles on it with daily driving and a hand full of road trips. The pros: It is very comfortable in all of the seats and has features that I didn't even know were needed in a vehicle, most of which are very nice but some I personally could do without. It has road manners that are much better than a truck but definitely not car like; it's the size of small bus so you can't expect any better than what you get. The adjustable suspension is very nice for when you are hauling and when you are on long road trips, it is easily adjusted on the flu through the control panel. The power took me by surprise; having V8's for the last two decades I was blown away by the amount of power produced by this V6 with the turbos. This motor hauls with greater ease and better file economy than I expected. The cons: Everything is electronically controlled and i worry that this could get very expensive as the vehicle ages for repairs. I have yet to have a failure but that risk/reality does feel looming. The 4wd system is classified as a "light" 4wd system; I know that I am an anomaly when it comes to how typical Navigator driver's use their vehicle as I still treat my like my work truck. I do think there are limitations to this 4wd system verses what the Tundra had when it comes to getting through a muddy field and driving through the deep snow that Upstate New York winters bring. All and all it has been a pleasant surprise nearly all around. This vehicle has served my family's needs where my old truck could no longer and has done so with comfort which I expected and with power and ease which I did not.
