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.

  • AVIATOR ELEGANCE AND SAFETY - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    SPORTY ELEGANCE GOES WITHOUT SAYING. SAFTEY IS THE KEY, MY WIFE HIT A UTILITY POLE HEAD ON AND SHE AND MY SON WALKED AWAY WITHOUT A SCRATCH. THE VEHICLE SUFFERED $30,000 IN DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, IT LOOKS AND RIDES LIKE THE DAY OUT OF THE SHOWROOM. I AM THINKING OF BUYING A SECOND ONE.

  • 04 Aviator - Nice SUV - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Its real nice all around, inside and out. Theres nothing like it in its class. All others are either too big, too small or have design issues. We quickly nixed the Envoy XL, GX270 and Volvo for these reasons. Will fit 8 people though only 7 belts. Much better value than higher priced Asian SUVs that seat 7 or 8. I hope mileage improves after break-in. Its our first SUV and easy transition from Mercedes E320 though the MB is slightly superior in every aspect but $20k more.

    I love my Lincoln Aviator, after having a Navigator and being so dissapointed to have to turn in following lease term ending, got the Aviator because of size and found it to be even better than the Navigator. Love my Lincoln. Bob

  • One year review - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Ride quality very good, engine is strong and reliable, and has never failed to start. Polymer finish on paint holds up well. Average gas mileage is 19 mpg in combined city/highway commute in Houston, better than EPA estimate. Had trouble with rear differential and one window motor, but replaced by dealer with high quality service. Front passenger space is somewhat limited, could be a uncomfortable for large or obese people. Stereo is excellent Still not up to real quality standards. Interior fit not good in places, only one automatic window, exterior mirrors need constant adjustment, some wind noise, especially in crosswinds. Seats could fold flatter. No luggage cover

  • FINALLY A GREAT SUV - 2004 Lincoln Aviator

  • Great driving SUV - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    This is a fun car to drive. I test drove all the luxury SUVs and it was between this and the Lexus GX470. The selling point was the sound system in the Lincoln and the TGX470 had no heat controls in the back for my son! I looked at the Mercedes, Volvo, BMW and Durango. The Aviator won! but I hate the vibrating noise when the windows are open and the driver seat is a bit uncomfortable for me on long trips.

  • My Aviator - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    Ive always wanted a Navigator, but it was way too big for me. After test driving the Aviator, I knew this was the car for me. It is extremely comfortable, plenty of leg room and everything on the dashboard is in reach. I can fit my sons friends in comfort while they watch a DVD or listen to music. The ride is very smooth. A++

  • aviator fully loaded - 2004 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I havent ever been as satisfied with any vehicle ive purchased as I am with the aviator! I own a 2003 awd fully loaded edition(no other options available) and I must say I cant think of anything else this suv should/can have. The cooled seats is an option even other suvs in the higher price range dont have. Its power the same way is very difficult to compete with not to mention towing capacity!This suv has amazing handling and cornering. The gps is easy to work with, the dvd entertainment sys is self explanatory also. all and all this is the best "pound per pound" suv out there!!
