    lincoln gives free oil changes or service lucky for me because just about every service call something else needed repair, after driving 90000km I finally returned my vehicle. the vibration in the front end at 115km was never repaired even after the dealership had me replace my tires. yes after 90000 km front still vibrates. running board motors, frequently replaced. accelerator extremely sensitive, just keeps jerking your neck off dealer could not repair because of no adjustments. and the problems continued

    probably the nicest interior of any vehicle on the road, definitely the nicest of any suv, period. its just not a question up for discussion. just got it 3 days ago. used to own a 2000. this is so much nicer than the old one, though the old one was nice too. will see how dependable this one is.

    My 2003 Lincoln Navigator has been a total blast to drive even considering I have owned Ford Explorers and Expeditions and was not ready for the refined driving experience so far. As with everything there is a down side. The first 8400 miles I have replaced a seat cover for discoloration and an alternator. The dealer has been good about handling my complaints but not really forth coming on what has caused the defects. To tell you the truth I think a factory hotline for consumer reports and repairs would go a long way in improving the whole Lincoln experience!

    IT IS A GREAT EYECATCHING HEADSPINNING VEHICLE. AMAZING STRONG BUILD, IT IS BASICALLY LIKE A BOAT. CAR IS BUILT LIKE A CHAMPION. BEAUTIFUL EXTERIOR WITH AN INTERIOR THAT NO OTHER CAR CAN MATCH.

    Simply awesome design, inside it is an art studio on wheels. Outside it is rolling testosterone. Ok enough, this vehicle is stunning, rugged, prestigious and simply enjoyably exciting. And shouldnt your car be? People who say it needs more power are just comparing numbers (345hp vs. 300hp). Drive this and feel the torque. Feel the balance of the steering and suspension that somehow connects 3 tons to the pavement like a sports car. Im sorry, escalade doesnt do that. I couldnt be happier with mine.

  • Elephant Really Can Tap Dance - 2003 Lincoln Navigator
    By -

    Before purchasing my 2003 Navigator in 7/02, I read a review which ended with "This elephant can tap dance." I took it with a grain of salt but completed my purchase anyway. I decided to write this review after a truly great experience. It had been raining heavily today and I rounded a curve at about 40 mph to find myself right in front of a huge "pond". I had no time to break but just plowed into this pool of water. I expected the worst, but guess what? This baby just plowed through with not even a jolt to the steering wheel, straight ahead. The handling on this monster is comparable to a sportscar. I LOVE MY NAVIGATOR!!!

    My 2003 Navigator is awesome- Bought with 28000 miles - Problems started at 65K, head Gasket a well known problem for the Cylinder head on these vehicles. In addition, Beware of the radiator assembly. The Transmission cooling system runs thru the radiator and when it comes apart, all oil from transmission cooling system will contaminate your antifreeze. Side mirrors crazy, and windows do not close at highway speeds. The car is awesome though, turns heads even after 6 years.

    Vehicle is still new but has been a pleasure so far. Gas mileage is poor, it has not even met the window sticker estimates yet. Ride is very comfortable, but road noise intrudes into passenger compartment.

  • besides all the glamour..DONT BUY..... - 2003 Lincoln Navigator

    Oh lordy where to begin. Ignition coil problems. Electrical problems. Lincoln dealership cant even find out why the truck would suddenly cut off at traffic lights. Cant find why the car suddenly has a jark when accelerate. Power Windows very costly to fix (450). Have a lot of spare change cause you gonna spend a lot of money fixing this thing. Already have spent over 4000 and no end in sight. And ih yeah running board has a mind of its own, and did I forget suspension problems
