This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Secure and capable handling dynamics, plenty of luxury accoutrements, highly configurable interior.
Cons:
  • Lacks refinement when compared to some European luxury SUVs.

  • Outstanding SUV - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Bought this to replace a beloved Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Aviator is the best combination of performance (300 HP), and whisper quiet comfort along with great deep snow handling that I have ever owned. It was 2/3 the price of the Toyota Land Cruiser or BMW X5 (only 5 passenger) and has superior performance. It is a mystery to me why Ford replaced it with a minivanny MKX. I guess I will be forced to buy German or Japanese next time.

    I got this after having a Blazer and I love it to death... It is gorgeous. It had a lot of miles when I bought it and has never been back for service. I have had some problems w/ the car saying that door is ajar and then the light stays on. Causing the battery to go dead Also the hub caps are peeling apart. Cant find replacements anywhere.

  • Aviator flies high - 2003 Lincoln Aviator

    After a couple of maiden voyage adjustments this car has performed at 100%. I get compliments from my generation (the 50+) club as well as from the younger crowd.

  • nice car - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    this car has a great ride and handles somewhat like a sport car. i love the looks of the car (its the option white that cost an additional $400) and other people must also like the looks also because it turns a lot of heads. there is some slight road noise inside the cabin.

  • Love our Lincoln - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    We have gotten many positive comments about our vehicle and we love it. Most people think it is a Navigator unless they look at the name. It is an elegant but sporty ride.

  • Classy - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    this car is amazing, ive had it for about 6 months now, i bought it used. its a 2004 model. it is the most luxurious SUV on the market. ive driven in a range rover, and id take this over that. i think it is the best SUV you can buy. i have had no problems with the car, it has never had to go into the dealer in the time ive owned it. the interior is beautiful. the engine sounds amazing as well, when youre accelerating, it sounds like it has an aftermarket exhaust system. the thing handles like a sports car.

  • WOW AMERICAN IS BACK! LINCOLN AWESOME - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Absolutely unreal. I drove em all, this Aviator is awesome. I keep looking out the window into my driveway peeking at it, like a newborn. I am so happy to be driving American again. This is the type of build quality that will truly hurt European Imports. Hats off to Lincoln. Homerun!!!!

  • Impressice! - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    We literally looked at and test drove all the SUVs in this luxury mid-size catagory, including the new Lexus GX470 and we feel the Aviator beat the competition. Were extremely impressed with the Aviators performance, styling and even pricing.

  • A true sport utility (emphasis on sport) - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Although the gas mileage is marginal, I am impressed with the Aviator. I have five growing children so a roomy third row was top priority. I didnt want a huge SUV, and the smaler competition had much less legroom. The interior look and the Aviators ride quality is certainly one of the best of all the competition. It truly feels like a luxury sports car and handles so well I am left wondering how they pulled it off. The design is beautiful, the V8 quick, and when I plant the pedal to the metal it sounds just like a Mustang Mach 1.
