Overview & Reviews
With the Aviator, Lincoln has thrown its hat into the midsize luxury sport-ute ring. It looks like a three-quarter scale Navigator, seats seven and is powered by a strong V8.
- Secure and capable handling dynamics, plenty of luxury accoutrements, highly configurable interior.
- Lacks refinement when compared to some European luxury SUVs.

Wow! - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
By Texas Bubba - January 3 - 2:00 amWhen we first started looking for a new SUV, we looked at what we thought were the market leaders: Acura, Lexus, and BMW. My wife talked me into looking at the Aviator and we never looked back! It felt more luxurious than the MDX, better value than the GX470, and more spacious than the X5. No regrets here!

Whats wrong with this Avaitor? - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
By Pierrot - December 23 - 10:00 amI have 2250 miles on my 03 Avaitor and it went into the shop the day after delivery. It had a vibration on throughout the vehicle. It has been in the shop for twenty 20 days during the last 35 days. After replacement of many drivetrain parts and tires the dealer says that all Avaitors are like this according to Ford engineers.

Aviator" Performance - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
By seon - November 27 - 2:00 amHi, I drove a Ford Explorer Limited and loved it, until I bought the Aviator. All I have to say is simplicity in motion.

2003 Aviator - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
By Shady - November 9 - 10:03 amWe bought this used with 24,000 miles. So far it has been pretty good. Only issues are seat climate controls that keep failing, a loose drivers seat, and a bit of corrosion on the top, inside edge of the rear liftgate (same spot as our 98 Explorer). The brake rotors also seem like they need replacement. Control illumination is amazingly high-tech looking, but some knobs and controls dont feel smooth when operated. Overall a well built SUV with a lot of nice features. We were most impressed with the innovations, like thicker windows, that reduce noise. It has many features that make it a much improved version of the Explorer, which is what we owned previously

Great SUV - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
By wkeef - October 5 - 10:00 amThe new Aviator is a great vehicle. It is a pleasure to drive. This is my wifes car and she really enjoys the handling and comfort. If we had one suggestion to make it would be to get rid of the third seat and put more foot room in the second row. The tightness of foot room limits the car to no more than a two person vehicle.

Aviator a keeper - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
By mdmitchell - July 11 - 10:00 amFeels like a Lincoln, not a dressed up Ford. American Luxury and power. Like especially the new Lincoln interior treatment. This and the improved ride set it apart from the Ford Explorer.

Outstanding - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
By LAone - June 3 - 2:00 amTest drove the GX470 and the Aviator...surprisingly to me, American wins. Comfort is comparable, handling is comparable, power goes to the Aviator. Interior design goes to the Aviator (just try riding in the third seat of the GX470), also DVD system is great. Exterior design goes to the Avaitor. And finally, the Aviator has complimentary maintenance for 3/36K...which can be upgraded to 4/50K for a reasonable fee.

Never Never Never Never again - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
By Horrible Vehicle - May 11 - 12:36 amThis car has been nothing but problems. After owning the vehicle for two years the transmission had to be replaced. When the third time repair did not fix the original problem. I have had electrical problems from day one but no one can seem to figure out why. The auto-window doesnt work, the side view mirrors would change positions, the passenger seat heater does not work, the sound system takes about a minute to come on after the car is started. The steering wheel shimmies when braking, and there is a long whining sound when you start the vehicle in cold weather (which they cant seem to figure out why). This vehicle is the most expensive I have owned and yet the worst purchase made.
