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.

  • Capable handling and good looks - 2003 Lincoln Aviator

    After test driving most of the domestic and foreign built SUVs in this price range, I bought the Aviator. Great handling, smooth engine drivetrain combo, suspension is superior to every other SUV I drove, great looks.

    Had my Aviator since 2003 and loved every day I have had it. I cant beleive they dont make them any more. For sure, I would go out and purchase another one. I also thought this about my Mark VII. I guess I am just hooked on a Lincolns.

  • Not My Expedition - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I traded in a 2003 Eddie Bauer Expedition for the Aviator. It was a great trade. It has more power and although it is not quite as big, it is still very comfortable for my family of four. The power is unbelievable.

  • Nothing better - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    This is the most enjoyable vehicle I have ever had the pleasure of owning. I love the luxurious interior, the beautiful exterior and flawless ride and handling. The bright cathode lights on the dash are gorgeous and it was worth every penny. I test drove many SUVs and nothing comes remotely close to the Lincoln Aviator.

  • This aint no Explorer - 2003 Lincoln Aviator

    We were in the market for an SUV with 3rd row seating. If this is you, do yourself a favor and test drive this SUV. Youll understand why most limos are Licolns - its all about the ride and this SUV delivers.

  • Never an issue - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    We have loved this for 2 years and have loved it. A lot of people complain about the mileage but for a full sized SUV to get 21 mpg on the highway at 80 mph I have no complaints at all. Around town we get 15 mpg but again, I never expected this to be an economy car. It has been very reliable and has never given us an issue.

  • Shake and rattle - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    The day after I took delivery of this vehicle was in the shop. It has been in the shop on 6 different occasions for over 30 days. There is a vibration throughout the drivetrain including the steering wheel which manifest itself by shaking when driving down the road. It is noticed by noise and feel. Ford says that all Avaitors are this way so be aware. If you feel your hand shaking or hear vibrations it is not in your head. Other problems include oil, leaks tire sensor failures and bad tires.

    This vehicle rocks. purchased new I now have over 130,000 miles and still going strong. The ride and comfort is still exceptional. While this model does not have stability control or the roll over features it is a great vehicle. The car can be at a comfortable 70-75 miles per hour, and then go into passing mode quickly with no lag and hit over 90 with ease, and yeah I have done that both new and with current total miles. The engine is strong and sure. I am now having an issue with the differential and am looking for another Aviator to purchase. I have towed a 21 ft boat, two jet skies, with this car,(no, not all at once) and it still tracks smoothly with no sway. Would buy this again.
