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.

  • this is a big hit - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    this is a great car/truck, it drives very smoothly better than most luxury cars I drove, yet it is a truck with ample of power when you need it, the lighting of the dash board and steering wheel is my favorite. handling, acceleration and breaking are astonishing. I have driven many luxury cars and trucks(MB,BMW,Lexus) this is by far on of the best. Lincoln has scored a big hit with this baby navigator, you should try this car before buying any SUV, its worth it. get the navigation system for sure and may be DVD too. Although comfortable, seats are stiff and have big halls in them??

    This vehicle is simply awesome! Its got everything you could imagine and more. The 302 horsepower engine is more power than you need, like that is a bad thing? Its so much fun to drive and still retains the comfort and class of a Lincoln. Its a dream vehicle for the younger hope-to-be Lincoln owners. I love it and Im a Town Car man.

  • Only drive while under warranty - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Its a pretty good bet that the transmission will need some work. At about 35k miles, mine needed to be overhauled while on a road trip out of state. Ignition coils were recalled and I would recommend just getting all 8 original coils replaced, BEFORE they go out, which eventually they will. Overall, Ive enjoyed owning this Aviator but now that its well past the Lincoln warranty and extended warranty expiration, its time to let this Aviator get some rest before it puts me in the poorhouse.

  • There is a GOD... - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    ...he revealed the Ten Commandments to Moses. Now hes given heavens blue prints to Lincoln. Theyve really done it up right. The Aviator is typical Lincoln CLASS. The ride is superb (whatd ya expect for a Lincoln), but the clincher is the power and handling. This baby is a rocketsled. It will blow my wifes fuel injected Tahoe OFF THE ROAD. Though it rides like a Lincoln it handles like a sports car. The interior is sooooo classy. Almost felt like putting on a tuxedo.

    The performance is outstanding. It feels comfortable, solid and stable. The steering is responsive and precise. The visibilitly is superb forward and rearward, especially with the backup tone warning system. It accepts a top mounted extra luggage compartment allowing long travel with 6 passengers, in comfort. Controlled braking is excellent.

  • Not so thrilled - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Im 50/50 on the Aviator. However, the brushed silver console scartches so easy and if you buy this vehicle to truck kids around, it gets scratched up quickly. If you use all three rows, forget putting anything in the back. I can barely fit an umbrella stroller. Lastly, I never had a V8, and didnt realize how much gas it eats up. If I had to do it again, I would go with a Volvo or Acura SUV. I told the dealer I wasnt happy with my choice and he basically said tough.

  • Size Matters - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Good size, good looks, great engine..!! Have not bought American for a few years. Sold 99 Audi A8 4.2q to buy SUV. Looked at everything... wife is principle driver... i might have prefered FX45.. BMW- gets to pricey with opts. Lexus- a little small/cramps front leg room..front wheel drive. Murano-didnt drive..just looked at..??
