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.

  Outstanding SUV - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
  By MikeyM - June 27 - 2:00 am

  This SUV is simply awesome!!! Its ride is quiet and smooth,handling is great, and it has all the luxury of a Limo. The 300+ horse 32 Valve American made V8 along with the five speed O-Drive transmission delivers all the power anyone could want and has too many more nice features to mention here...Driving is actually fun again for me!!

  Absolutely Love It - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
  By Burns - May 11 - 9:30 pm

  This is my work vehicle, my office if you will, but the wife and I end up in it over the weekends even though we have an Acura MDX. The Aviator is much more comfortable, smoother, less noise, and is all around more fun to drive. 52,000 miles and smiles. I hate that Lincoln will soon change it. Oh well, Ill have to get the last 2005!

  Nice Machine! - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
  By weeds - May 2 - 2:00 am

  Lincoln did a great job in designing and building the Aviator, which is a "mini" Navigator. What is most impressive is the engine, which has outstanding acceleration, much better than any similar SUV on the market (U.S. or foreign made)! The transmission and ride is also very smooth, making for a vehicle that is fun to drive. In true Lincoln fashion, both the interior and exterior look very classy. This is a vehicle that is fun to drive, looks sharp, and turns heads. Well done, Lincoln!

  Stay Away! - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
  By Kamil - January 8 - 2:16 am

  Rides nice, comfort and luxury, but American car makers still have a long way to go! This car is very unreliable, had so many issues, transmission, heated seats, fog lights, torque converter, remote starter. Americans can create nice options but cant seem to make them last. The car has 54k and has problems like it was over 150,000! The electronics stink on this thing. Every fuse or some module goes every month. Its still under warranty, and thats how I will sell it!

  Good idea - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
  By mdsamitchell - December 14 - 10:00 am

  Why did they wait? The improvement over my 1997 Merc Mountaineer is incredible. Ride is very car like, but still has the substaintial truck feel. Interior is a retro-American luxury treatment. The interior and exterior treatments let you know that this is not just a dressed up Explorer, but a significantly unique and different truck.

  It is the first Lincoln I have ever owned. This SUV rides like a limo and doesnt even seem like a truck.

  Great Performer - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
  By Topeagle - July 27 - 10:00 am

  It is a solid performing car; interior is top-notch. Negatives: the tilt steering mechanism is a step backwards - awkward and it can interfere exiting the vehicle. Rear view mirror is rather cheap considering the price of the vehicle. Lincoln should also have included the automatic emergency brake release that is in the Navigators, tough to bend when you get older and a little heavier! I chose the Kitty Hawk because only way to get black leather seats but the chrome wheels are a must. Tires should have remained OWL instead of solid black. The ride is great. Lincoln should also have designed with dual exhausts!!!
