Lincoln is better than Edmunds says - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By MoXXy - November 1 - 1:56 pmI test drove the Escalade (Reg& XL) The Lincoln had more room and more luxury than the Caddys.In the XL there are 3 tiny steps in the very back that make you feel like your eating your knees.The Reg.Escalade was smaller than the other two.While the Caddy has a teeny bit more power,the Lincoln can Scat as well.I bought the Lincoln Navigator.I also Drove the Pathfinder Armada and if the body style on the outside were different I would have picked that one over both.It had Everything the Lincoln had and alot more power than the Caddy!That thing was amazing but the body style was not my style.Its too bad because it would have been cheaper by about 12,000.00 bucks.

The Big Dog - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By Esrom Shaw - August 14 - 2:06 pmI was a former BMW driver and thought that I would never find a replacement that would seperate me from the road. My Nav is awsome, the ride the comfort level is great.

Super SUV - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By K Foster - April 27 - 2:20 pmThis is my second Navigator. I currently own two Mustangs as well. I have driven many suvs and luxury cars. This Navigator is by far the nicest vehicle I have ever riden in or driven. The comfort of the seats have no equal. I do wish it had a touch more low end torque to move out a little better without mashing the gas so much. It is thirsty and has a much larger blind spot than my 99 Nav did. Biggest problem with buying a Navigator is the price and the fact that if you get one, that is all you will ever be satisfied with. It is that far ahead. I have the black interior with silver exterior. Others considered were the Lexus and Expedition and lastly Escalade.

"Navie" gator - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By embeth - November 15 - 12:30 pmI bought a fully loaded ultimate 4x4 navigtor in june 2005. I had both a 1998 and 2004 eddie bauer expedition prior to this purchase. The navigators transmission shifting is awesome & smooth. I have 3600 miles on it so far. The engine is not quiet though when it is in park........Its embarrassing to drive up in this luxury suv and the engine can be heard. I am getting that checked asap. Besides, everyone gawking at my gator, or peeking inside the windows when they think im not looking.............This suv is close to perfect!

WOW!!!! - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By Michael Johnson - February 23 - 11:03 amI had never considered a Nav, Im 63" - the Escalade was a huge disappointment - dash and emergency brake cut into my shin and leg! Happened upon the Nav by chance. Was very taken with comfort, pick-up and ease of handling! I was surprised by the comments about lacking power, as the "Baby" moves like a bat out of hell and thinks 90 is an appropriate cruising speed. Among the most comfortable and supportive seats I have ever had in a car. I will agree that the gas mileage was a kick in the head -- but considering its size and weight it could be alot worse. All in all -- an A+ on the car -- which does not extend to the dealership --yuck!

Navigator Dud - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By Derrick Soo - November 20 - 2:20 pmSince taking delivery, this DUD is now approaching 3 weeks worth of repair time. Had to contact Lincoln CEO & DM to get this last service done. Customer service is non-existent and rude. This was my second Navigator, and will be the last. SUV has been in for two major repairs and replacements. First was total front drive system and steering, now Tranny. Had side panels fall off on the freeway and the HID headlights didnt work upon delivery. Lincoln has not been helpful at all. No loaners at Hayward Lincoln.

So/So - 2005 Lincoln Navigator
By Lisa - October 20 - 9:06 amAfter major rebates and 0% financing, car is still upside down after two years of payments. Rattles and clanks noticed from the beginning, service cannot fix. Aftermarket upgrades sold by the dealership installed too low and rattle. When rattle fixed, screw tore interior sunroof fabric. Aftermarket dealership DVD unreliable and not upgraded to play DVD Rs or RW. A nice vehicle but market value dropped after purchase.
