  • Near perfect - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I have found the Aviator to be near perfect. It handles well- it simply responds beautifully. It is comfortable for me and I am rather small ( 53" ) and yet my 6 husband finds it comfortable as well. It is a great size- large enough but, not too large. And, when I need power- it is there. Overall, so far so good- I really like this SUV.

  • An honest review of the Aviator - 2005 Lincoln Aviator

    When you first get in, you immediately notice the luxury and refinement of the cabin. The Aviators cabin impressed me far more than any competitors. The suspension and ride are excellent for an SUV, and the performance, while by no means insufficient, is the cars only weakness. I have had no issues of reliability, and Lincolns service has been top notch.

    I have had my Aviator for a year and a half now and back in january I started having problems with it. Sometimes it would start when you got in it and every time i would take it to the lincoln dealership they would keep saying they could do nothing because when i would get it to the dealership it would start up so i got tired of it maybe starting and sometimes not starting that i ended up getting it towed back to the dealership because one day i got in it and it wouldnt start so i ended up buying a new starter and that ended up not even being the problem it was something else so i was frustrated with that.

  • Drives like a luxury car - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    I have owned my Aviator for 3 months now and Im in heaven. I love the truck more and more everyday. It drives like a luxury car. It does very poor on gas but I knew that when I purchased it. I would recommend this truck to everyone. The DVD system and sound system are great.

  • Many thumbs up for my Black Beauty w/chr - 2005 Lincoln Aviator

    I very satisfy with the purchase of my Lincoln Aviator. I could not ask for a better mid-size SUV. Yes, gas mile is poor but if you can afford the vehicle you can afford the gas. Looks good, rides good, sounds good, This is my 1st SUV and 1st american made purchase since 1994. (Im a Lexus man but this aviator is tranforming me in to a Lincoln-SUV man). I am shock that the Aviator does not get better reviews. I did a lot of research and the Aviator is the best in appearance and power and it not just a jacked up station wagon like many of the other Mid-size so call SUV.

  • Awesome - 2005 Lincoln Aviator

    AS this being my first SUV purchace and may i say a forced purchace (I am a real sporty performance driven girl myself) As a new mother and needing more room I opted for the aviator for not only its looks inside and out, the roomiiness and luxury sold me ... not only that 3rd row seating.... The V8 still got out of its own way...unlike its suv look alikes ( which by the way had no more room than my A6 Audi in the back) still love it one year later, It is my new livingroom. Clee

  • Theres good and bad - 2005 Lincoln Aviator
    By -

    We were on a major highway during a surprise white-out snowstorm. Cars in front and behind us spun sideways. Only way to go was down into ravine between east and west lanes to avoid accident. My husband steered the Aviator down into ravine and after 100 feet we rode out and back up onto the highway, NEVER sliding or spinning out of control. This car has saved our family. The handling in all types of weather has been wonderful. Cons: Very restricted seating-leg room, etc; poor gas mileage; cheap interior materials: leather poor quality, fake wood. Have owned many expensive vehicles, cant understand why Lincoln skimped on these. Front seat backs need to be powered. Heating vent burns legs
