Everything we need with a bit extra
We love this vehicle. Even though it is a 2004, it still feels new with everything being automatic and the leather seats. It runs very well and we hardly have any issues with it. The only thing I would say is that there is not much trunk space when you use the 3rd row- but if you are going to use the 3rd row only occasionally (for visitors etc.) like we do, this car is absolutely worth it!

It runs like a new truck at almost 400,000 miles..
Our navigator has an outstanding drivetrain. It is quickly approaching 400,000 miles and runs excellent. The power step sides have had some issues and the sunroof doesn't always work now, but overall, I have been very pleased with this truck.

The leather interior is still intact no peeling or breaking. It still has its original paint job ...the paint quality has weathered the test of time.
My car is amazing condition it still drives wonderfully. I have not had any major repairs done just basic maintenance and services. I have not had any major repairs done just basic maintenance and services. But of course it is a big truck and an older one, so gas mileage is becoming a problem . Lincoln is a very make!

I love the heating seats, navigation used for traveling, sun roof.
I love it! All the features still continue to work well, after all those years just keeping up with the oil, getting tune up and using supreme gas will keep it in great condition. It rides smooth, and I love that I feel protected in it. The newer models have the step that opens out when you open any door which is great. I also used the hitch to move a trailer and being a female it was easy to drive. Would recommend this luxury SUV.

I love the comfort and space.
Performance and reliability have been great. The airbags are and have been a problem. We replaced them with conventional shocks. I love all the electric features, but they also can be an inconvenience when they are not working properly. It is a very comfortable ride. The spacious interior and tailgate offered us the ability to carry the medical supplies for my mom when we had to travel with her. Now that she is gone, it is a great vehicle to carry my photography equipment to and from job sites.

Older vehicles are awesome.
I bought my Lincoln navigator used 1 1/2 years ago, it has been very reliable with less than perfect maintenance. My only complaint is buying tires and I would never get another car with air suspension. Over all I think for a car her age with 180,000 miles, she is awesome.

Very spacious with 4 heated captain seats
Love my Lincoln navigator, even the standard comes with all the bells and whistles, moonroof, air ride suspension, heated leather seats, heated side mirrors, very spacious inside, with 4 captain bucket seats.

This vehicle is a Gas guzzler
Reliability is fine just wastes so much gas. Parts are not expensive. Fits 7 people. The interior is nice. The only thing I had to really change was to switch the air bags to actual suspensions. Besides that I've had no problems with this vehicle.

It is a great spacious vehicle.
I like that it is very spacious and has a lot of seats. It comes with luxury. I dislike the amount of gas it goes through on a weekly basis. Also the parts to this vehicle are very expensive.
accountCircle Krystal D
Its comfortable and reliable.
Its comfortable to drive. I like that the car is big enough to fit my family but not to big and bulky to drive. The only thing I would change is update GPS.
accountCircle Debby Z
It's not as expensive a car as people think when it's bought used
It is too big of a vehicle for me. I'm short so it's hard to get in and out of. It's not a luxury one so it's not very comfortable . It has bad gas mileage
accountCircle Christy H
My car is an okay car with issues
Trustworthy dependable car. The charging system does have problems as well as the air suspension. We have replaced it multiple times
