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.

    I truely love this veh. It is very confortable although whish the drivers seat had more hieght adjustmanet. It handles very well with the full seven passenger load. I have 900 milres on the vehicle thus far and the milage had improved about two miles per gal for a total of 13 mpg in combined city and hwy driving.

    Go anywhere SUV, Go several times a year on out of state trips. The Aviator is the ultimate in comfort! Hit that seat warmer after a long day and ahhh! Our Aviator has 42K on it and has only needed the regular maint performed on it. I did replace the tires to one size up and that helped on the milage-AVG 19 mph allaround and up to 21 on the road. I also had the computer upgraded thru the dealer on a new program that has made it perform even better. No gripes here glad we have it as our all around veh and well worth the price!

  • An SUV that drives better than most cars - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Head turning good looks, and sedan like driveability. Aviator really does drive amazingly well for its size and weight. The engine is very powerful, steering is extremely responsive, ride is perfect-very smooth, handles very well on corners, little body lean. Turns well in parking lots. Ride very quiet. A/c works really well. Cooled seats dont do much. Havent tried the heated seats yet. DVD is great, wireless headphones too. But the PS2/Xbox hookup is on the ceiling. The navigation sys is $2500-buy a map. Great car, go it under invoice w/ 0%.

    The 3 SUVs we considered were the Aviator, Volvo XC90 and BMW X5. The Aviator won easily. Great look, lots of power, 7- passengers, very fun to drive. Whatever you do, go test drive this SUV.

    The comfort can only be beat by bigger luxery cars.The worst milage is 11.5 mpg uphill in town at low speed and the best on the hwy is 23 mpg with it getting 20.5 easily on the hwy at 70 mph. I just did a long trip and got 19 mpg at 90 mile per hour most of the way.

  • Love my Aviator! - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I had no intention of buying this model when I walked in. That day I was only going to "look" at a few different models. When I drove the Aviator, I was amazed. The drive was like a caddy, with a comanding view of the road, and power to spare. The interrior was imacualte, and the sound system was a bonus. I was hooked. Since then I have enjoyed the car SO much. My two-year old son, LOVES the DVD, and it is a joy to travel in. The gas milage is the only draw back, but I knew that going in. With 300+ HP at your disposal its hard to complain... ;) Id give it a 10 out of ten if not for the gas milage. So a 9 out of 10 in overall satisfaction. LOVE IT.

  • GREAT VEHICLE! - 2003 Lincoln Aviator

    The aviator is the best handling amercian vehicle I have ever driven. If you want power, those 302 horses will give it to you. Its not as noisy as other SUVs. Just drive one and youre hooked.

  • A great....bigger auto. - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Driven for 6 months before off-center collision @ 50-55 mph with a 2003 Ford Ranger. I walked away with no injury. This vehicle is impressive. Agile for this size: no problems parking in any parking lot or street. Road trips with family and "stuff" are very comfortable:acceleration/passing no problem, even fully loaded with a/c on.I would buy another one of these.The Aviators positive journal reviews are well deserved. One criticism:"plain" heated seats not an option:heated-and-cooled seats is a package. David M Brown kinichiwah@aol.com

  • Love This Lincoln - 2003 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    You have to test drive this vehicle to appreciate it. As a matter of fact at first the ride is noticably good, but as you drive it you get to notice just how great it is. I took a 500 mile trip and was rested when I got there. The other SUVs dont hold a candle to it.
