This Year's Model Updates:

Lincoln changes the name of the Aviator's high-line trim level from Premium to Ultimate. More substantive improvements include the addition of Roll Stability Control to the optional AdvanceTrac stability system to ward off rollover incidents during panic maneuvers. The previously optional tire-pressure monitoring system is now standard. Additionally, dealer-installed Sirius Satellite Radio is available on Ultimate and Luxury models equipped with the optional Audiophile stereo.

Pros:
Cons:
  • Interior lacks the rock solid build quality of equivalently priced luxury SUVs, engine noise intrusive at high rpm.

    Have had quite a few higher end SUVs including the big Lexus. The ride is FAR superior. The interior is absolutely beautiful. Everyone that drives in it is very impressed with the clean styling. I have horses, and use it to tow. It surpasses every other vehicle I have had for its towing capabilites, without having the extra length of the really big SUVs. Its a great all around vehicle, from carpooling, to the grocery store, to going out to dinner, to going to a horse show, all with style and elegance.

    I looked at all SUVs of every make and model before deciding on the Lincoln Aviator. I am extremely happy that I chose it. Not only is it fun to drive with many outstanding features, but other people on the road admire it as well. I was on a road trip with it and stopped at a dinner along the Interstate one day. When I came out, there were other people surrounding my vehicle and checking it out. When they realized that is was mine, they started asking me all kinds of questions about it. They climbed into their brand new supped up pickup truck while still staring at my SUV. It was a compliment.

  • American Prince? - 2004 Lincoln Aviator

    I wanted luxury, 260+ HP, a head- turning design, 3 rows of seats, decent MPG, tight ride and handling package, and American! What won me over was the ride! The combination of power,handling, and comfort was superior to the rest; the looks - an added plus - a bold, clean and sturdy look with no wasted curves and frills, and the best grille on the road! Very American! So I am a very happy driver with a slightly guilty conscience about the MPG, but I have gotten 18 on the highway, and 14 in city traffic. I traded in a Dodge Dakota Quad Cab that had worse MPG, so I keep telling myself that Im part of the solution!!

    I love this SUV. I had an X5 and like the Aviator better. I prefer driving it to my E500. I recommend this car. Powerful engine, smooth ride and handles great. Lacks a few features I might like but the plusses make up for any shortcomings.

  • Wife is happy - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    It is a rare instance in which my wife raves about a vehicle. She is in love with the Aviator and cant understand why Lincoln hasnt done a better job marketing. I own a Explorer Ltd.V8 and let me tell you...this aint no Explorer. The ride is smooth and tight with none of the harshness of other SUVs I have owned. The engine is strong and smooth. Plus you an interior that gets stares at the car wash. In all, a very positve experience, this is somewhat of a surprise, since my wife picked it out. Linclon has dropped the ball in regard to marketing this thing.

  • Excellent SUV - 2004 Lincoln Aviator

    Mixed long distance highway and heavy city trafic. Very safe, easy to drive and considering the size, 19mpg on the highway.

  • 40,000 and a few more problems - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Still a fine performer, but have experienced a few more issues. New starter, left rear window stopped working both fixed under warranty. Now the ABS light came on and the cruise control stopped working. I guess we will see the value of the extended warranty next. Still, nothing comes close on the highway.

    This SUV is a pleasure to drive. I love almost everything about this wonderful car. The only downside is the fuel economy.

  • mistake - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I bought this car 6 months ago and I have been at the mecanic 9 times for enigine problems. This car is to big and handles just okay. The only thing good about it is its a smooth ride and it has AWD. I awlways buy BMWs and Hondas. My wife still has an 1987 Honda Accord and she also has a BMW 5 series from 1997. Both cars had only 1 problem each. I just sold my 1981 Honda accord for $700 with $300,000 miles on it and one problem in 1990 and one in 2001. Next year I am going to buy myself a new Toyota Avalon.
