05 Lincoln review highlights a great. Family car

I love the Lincoln. It has a lot of room but not to big. It drives great. It's a great family car..

Amelia W

It has a comfort to give for a family.

The seats are so comfortable and big enough it is good for traveling you can able to stretch. The back seats are so big and spacious to so it is good to put all of your groceries without smashing. Since we're expecting a baby I can tell that the sets will be easy for the baby. And there will be no worries for safety.

Great suv

Love the way it rides and handles very dependable!

michael m

This vehicle has an excellent navigation system in it. It was very expensive when new, but works very well. I prefer the built in factory system

The aviator was an excellent quality suv, i like the sound system and navigation system. I have had no mechanical issues with this car. Replaced the tires one time, and done all required maintenance.

shannon g

It is a 4 wheel drive vehicle. It drives so smooth

I love my aviator! I love the way it rides, the way it feels. I love the space in it.

Amanda H

Bad gas mileage, I feel as though this is very important

I love this car! It was cheap but looks very nice. Luxury vehicle, bad gas mileage, rides smoothly, gorgeous color

Dawn I

Reliable and well built SUV.

It is very reliable with great horsepower. It runs great on the highway as well as the city streets. It takes premium gas and I think it had bare to minimum recalls. I never really had any real problems with my vehicle and only had to perform regular maintenance.

2005 Lincoln aviator review.

The Lincoln aviator is a large and spacious car. It comes with so many features but the gas runs out very fast. If the gas lasted longer it would be the perfect vehicle. The sunroof is just one of my favorite features on the 2005 Lincoln aviator. If you have a large family and lots of extra spending money for gas then the Lincoln aviator is the right vehicle for you.

Otis H

Good driving vehicle and goes off road if needed

Electrical issues. Uses excess power and drains battery. I have replace both the alternator and battery multiple times.

Chris K

Basically it is been a pretty decent car. I would recommend it to others.

My Lincoln aviator has been a comfortable reliable car. Even though it is an older model I have enjoyed it very much. It is easy to drive and luxurious for the most part. I have had to replace the air conditioner. Only three out of the four automatic windows work but it is too expensive for me to repair. The rear hatchback panel has a crack in it. I have noticed many fords and Lincolns have this crack so I think it is a manufacturers defect. If I were able to purchase a new car, I do not think I would purchase another ford/Lincoln product.

Beatriz A

It is good for family use.

I like that it is roomy for my family. I like that it is sturdy and comfortable. I do not like that it has poor gas mileage. I do not like that it is bigger than I would like.

George W

Great size for kids or a large family

The Lincoln aviator is a reliable car. It uses more gas than I can afford though. If the gas lasted longer than it would be the perfect car.

Adam P

Space vs. Gas? The Great Debate

It's a very welcoming vehicle. Enough space for a crew of people and light hauling. Gotta put some petal to the metal in order to get the A/C going some days. It does go through gas pretty fast unfortunately, but honestly overall it is a pretty good vehicle.

Dnette D

Lots of open space for a big family.

It uses too much gasoline. Aside from the gas usage it is a reliable car that rides very smooth. It has a lot of space for a big family.

We own 2 of the same model and love the way they drive and look.

I have not really have any issues with the vehicle itself, only after being wrecked more than once did anything ever really mess up. Overall has been a great vehicle. Minor wear and tear repairs are all that were needed before the first major wreck.

Leslie L on January 24, 2021

It drives smooth and great.

It is a great car, super modern for a 2005, not huge bit fits 7.. Just not too comfy for far traveling, like limited space for personal items, etc..

Cons from Owners

Kyrie M.

Headlights. Dim dashboard. Navigation goes out sometimes. No internet. Review. No backup camera. No backup sensor. Blows with the wind. Running boards slippery when wet. Engine light comes on when it wants to. Have to get a oil change every 3 months.

Paige T.

I started the cons before because I thought I was supposed to put both of them on there. But, there is no Bluetooth nor an aux cord spot. The gas mileage is about 16 and it is expensive for gas because you have to use the premium 91+.
