I bought the 2004 Aviator brand new, almost 9 years ago. It has been the most reliable of any car I've ever had (and I've had many). It feels luxurious on the inside, even after all of this time. Lincoln got the fit/finish on this one right. It has been such a gem to own. I will drive it until it dies. I really wish Lincoln still made them. I would buy another after this one is done. That's how much I love it. I've owned many other SUV's and never had one this dreamy and reliable. Can't say enough good stuff about it.

I HATE THIS VEHICLE

Purchased this vehicle used about a year and a half ago. Never really liked it but it was in our price range and had all the amenitied that we required. We owned a Chevy Tahoe prior to this but it did not have a 3rd row seat which is what we needed. Here are the things that I dispise about this car. 1. Even though we have owned this vehicle for over a year still can't get used to the window controls in the center console and the seat controls on the door 2. Even though we've owned this vehicle for over a year still haven't gotten used the fact that is doesn't automatically unlock all the doors when you turn it off, I curse this vehicle everyday for this very reason!!!!!!!!!!!

AFTER PAYING $1800.00, BROKE 5 MORE TIME IN 10 DAYS.

I bought a 2004 Lincoln Aviator in June the Front differential broke in September. Repaired in November and I paid $1800.00 on December 1,2011. Picked up car on 1st. it broke on the 2nd. Picked up car on the 6th and on the 8th it started licking fluid. returned it and they said that it was fine. Then on the 12th it Broke again. On the 16th I picked it Up and drove it 30 mins. and smelled burning, took it back at 4 pm they said that it was the old smell burning off. At 7pm it broke on the hwy. Several times me and My small kids has broken down on the Road. The car is really unsafe. Thanking God that We got to Safety all these times. and the Car is still in the Shop. My God. What to Do I ask.

We purchased this beautiful SUV because of it's mid size and appeal. It was fine until it hit 75K miles, the engine froze up, & had to be replaced. FORD was not willing to talk to us, and very rude, the AC hardly blows cool air, the radiator cracked, it is constantly in and out of the repair shop. FORD has no interest in customer service, never will we buy another FORD product.

Poor Quality: Cylinder, Transmission and AC Problems

I bought a brand new Lincoln Aviator in November 2004 and it now has 82K miles. The quality of teh venhicle in general has been bad after he cross 60K miles. In general the engine pings and the check engine light comes and off and when we come to a stop light, the AC starts blowing hot air. The check engine light came steady on at 78K miles and when I took it to the dealer, it was diagnosed that left side cylinder head and transmission needs to be replaced and there is no warranty and I was given an estimation of $5500 for the cylinder head and $3500 for transmission. I called Ford customer care but they said that they cannot help or cover for these costs. Don't buy Ford!!

When i first saw this vehicle i liked it right off the bat. The amazing exterior design of this SUV caught my eye in an instant. I drive this car every day and it never fails to impress me. The 302 horsepower really gives you power and makes you feel like you are driving a sports car. With this SUV you get the best of both worlds. You get the features of a luxury SUV and the features of a sports car with its amazing handling. Very good buy. I definitely recommend it.

I will never buy a lincoln again

I bought this vehicle brand new in Oct 2004. When I bought it I was impressed with the styling more then anything else, but that quickly faded when the mechanical problems started soon after. I kept up on all required maintenance since I bought it. The problems started early on. From the climate control to the spark plug coils going out on me continuously. The gear shift leaver broke when I was putting it into park from drive. On the back tail gate there is a crack right below the back widow. I was told that it is a trend on these vehicles. I will never own another Ford/Lincoln product as long as I live. After all said and done, the dealership goes out of business. How ironic is that

I've had the car for almost 6 yrs. This is the 3rd time that the applique on the back of car has cracked. Also, my extended warranty just expired. Now car is at dealer with oil leak and thermostat problem. In the past had to have transmission repaired, the driving gear fixed. Air conditioner problems. Not happy right now. Third row is useless. Small space. Also when third row up, now trunk space. Have 3 kids so it's a problem, because not roomy.

40,000 and a few more problems

Still a fine performer, but have experienced a few more issues. New starter, left rear window stopped working both fixed under warranty. Now the ABS light came on and the cruise control stopped working. I guess we will see the value of the extended warranty next. Still, nothing comes close on the highway.

I am so disappointed in my 2004 Lincoln Aviator. I really wanted a Lincoln Navigator and when I went on the lot and saw the Aviator, I thought I was getting a deal. My warranty ended last year, 4 years came first and 56,000 miles at this point and I have a burnt valve inside the head. $3,000 is the estimated price quote to repair this problem. I have had nice luxury cars all my life and this is my first and last Lincoln. I am so disappointed. I have a 1995 Nissan Maxima with 160,000 miles no problem, I have had a Honda with 200,000 miles and no problems. My first car was a Hyundai and I had a 100,000 + miles and no problems. I think I'll stick with foreign cars in the future.

High Class. Low Price.

This SUV is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have 90000 miles on it and its suspension still holds tight. No leaks. I am very pleased with my purchase. Even with gas over $4.50 a gallon the space and comfort is well worth it.

I've never had a 300hp engine in my control before. I bought my wife this used lincoln aviator and now I drive it half the time! The interior is flawless, the engine is quiet but powerful. The controls are all within distance. I truely believe mpg is more reflective on the driver rather then the vehicle. My wife and I get 17.5 MPG average! We recently learned that driving within a certain speed helps MPG(read the manual) So I dont think the MPG too bad, just try not to be tempted by that 300hp engine. Exterior is decent, looks a bit better then the Mercury or the Explorer. I expected us to buy a Mountaineer, glad I didn't!

Great SUV untill the warranty expires!

the dealer said once I drive it it would be hard to go back, I owned two escape before going to the aviator, he was right, I liked it from the git go, still fun to drive, no plan on getting rid of it even if its a discontinued model, one of the side curtain sensors failed fully covered, otherwise no problems, would I buy it again you bet.

I did not plan on buying this kind of car when I first wanted to get a car, but when I saw it, I fell in love right away. Amazing design for inside and outside. Lots of power, just like a sport car. If you thinking SUV then this should be your 1st option. It handels the road like it owns it. This SUV get lots of attention and I love it...

i love driving this suv. i actually enjoy driving to work now because the aviator is such a joy to drive. the stereo is fantastic, and the ride is so smooth that is feels like you are flying. the steering is easy and smooth as well. the HID lights are a big plus at night as well. the aviator is loaded with all kinds of gadgits and i love gadgits. over all, i love the vehicle. it has a few problems, but since most of the aviators are discounted right now, you can get a brand new one for 20,000 less than a bmw or mb.

This car is beautiful on the inside and out. It's classy interior design makes you feel like you are in the best of the best. With 300 hp you don't even feel like you're driving a big vehicle, it feels more like a sports car when it comes to acceleration. The gas mileage isn't to brag about, but either is a Camaro's which was my last car.

I'm in love with this car

this car is amazing. it handles like a sports car at 105 mph. its amazing. i drive it hard and it can handle it. ive gotten it to 125 mph and the thing handles like im going 0 mph. its amazing. i was on my cell phone even and i had complete control. the 0-60 is amazingly fast too, this cars got major tourque, it just ripps down the road. i would reccoment it to anyone who wants performance of a sports car with luxury of a mercedes s-class. anyways, if you want an suv, this is it. it can be compared to the range rover its so nice, but you can buy it for tons less. it never gives me trouble either.

This truck amazes me every single day. The engine is remarkable, handling is precise (especially for its weight and size), and it's extremely comfortable. Towing capacity is great--eclipsing most other SUVs in its class. Gas mileage is actually pretty good for the engine and weight of the vehicle.

Poor seat design

Front seats are very uncomfortable. Lincoln should have copied the seat design from it's big brother the Navigator. Rear cargo area is not flat when the third seat is layed down. Poor fuel economy.

6200 miles since Dec 1 mostly during harsh,cold(-50F)rough road trips. This vehicle handles OK on ice & snow,tracks well & stops better than 2003 4Runner. But it rides rough at -20 and below, maybe due to monotube shocks and tires. Had the driver's heated seat go out; replaced unitis intermittent.Great power going through the mountains.Leg and hip room are a little tight in the cockpit. Instruments are well lit, easy to read,and laid out smart. The tranny is smooth; accelerates on demand. Leg room in the 2nd row quad chairs is lacking; on an 800 mile/23hr roundtrip hr 1 passenger was so uncomfortable he had to crawl into the rear benchseat to stretch out;2nd row needs to move back 3 inches!

Looks wonderful, better than my last two Navigators which I loved. Drives great, much better than my last two Naavigators. Build quality???? So far, a dissappointment. My dealer has been wonderful in quality and timely warranty repair, but too much has needed repair. 5,000 miles and needed: new differential, new radio, 3 trim pieces, and the front brake discs were warped, and drivers seat has a little slop in the track. All is well now, but - - - Not a great start.

Have nothing but good things to say about truck. Lots of power and super handling. Love the third row seat which is standard on the Aviator. The HID lights and the heated and A/C seats are also nice touches. Now the bad - the dealership has not been able to fix the squeak in steering column. The rear end humms and also needs replaced. Still love the truck, will be looking a new dealership the next time.

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

It is a rare instance in which my wife raves about a vehicle. She is in love with the Aviator and can't understand why Lincoln hasn't done a better job marketing. I own a Explorer Ltd.V8 and let me tell you...this ain't no Explorer. The ride is smooth and tight with none of the harshness of other SUV's I have owned. The engine is strong and smooth. Plus you an interior that gets stares at the car wash. In all, a very positve experience, this is somewhat of a surprise, since my wife picked it out. Linclon has dropped the ball in regard to marketing this thing.

Drove an Explorer for years, looked at Pilot, Highlander, and Explorer to replace. Drove an Aviator on a whim, the family loved it! Fun to drive, pulled a trailer with no effort, ride is great, there was no comparison to other vehicles test driven. Handling is solid, seats very comfortable, even during several hour uninterrupted stretches of driving. Everyone I have had as a passenger has really liked the ride and internal comfort. Buying experience was the best I had ever experienced!

I've had my Aviator for a little more than six months. It's making a wind whistle at high speed and the gas door has caused a crease in the side panel. It's a beautiful car, but not economical. 14.5 mpg most of the time. Had a fuel line problem which the dealer fixed in a weeks time. Does not inspire confidence w/reliability.

I was looking for another Explorer to purchase or maybe going to a Navigator. There had been no signifigant changes in the Explorer so the loan officer at the dealership suggested I take a look at the Aviator. There was one on the lot and we took it home for a test drive. I told my husband I had never driven a vehicle like it before. I liked it immediately. Two main features of a car I look for are a good stereo system and the color inside and out. My husband checks out the rest.

I bought this car 6 months ago and I have been at the mecanic 9 times for enigine problems. This car is to big and handles just okay. The only thing good about it is it's a smooth ride and it has AWD. I awlways buy BMW's and Honda's. My wife still has an 1987 Honda Accord and she also has a BMW 5 series from 1997. Both cars had only 1 problem each. I just sold my 1981 Honda accord for $700 with $300,000 miles on it and one problem in 1990 and one in 2001. Next year I am going to buy myself a new Toyota Avalon.

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.

After driving Volvo's for the last 20 years due to atrocious domestic build quality and service, I was very pleasantly surprised by the high level of quality in both build and service. My fuel economy, while dismal in the city, actually compares favorably with the 6 cyl Volvo on the highway (19.2 vs. 23 with the Volvo) I have gone from hood badge to tailgate badge, tires to roof rack both inside and out looking for assembly defects and could not find a significant one. It looks nice, it drives nice and I would heartily recommend this vehicle to anyone whose needs require luxury travel with the ability to tow relatively large trailers.

With the birth of our first child six months ago, our Inifinit G35 (which we loved) just wasn't cutting it in space department. My wife has always loved sports cars and was aghast at the idea of a Mini Van, so it had to be an SUV with as she says "a lot of bells and whistles". We drove all of the imports and domestics and found this to be the best for the money. Virtually all other vehicles had much more of a truck ride (including the imports suprisingly) while the independent rear suspension of the Aviator really makes for a solid ride. I race cars for fun and if there was an SUV racing class, I'd start with this vehicle.

Awesome!

Vechicle seems to have excessive wind noise above 55 mph for vechile of this price. It appears to possibly be the side mirrors which are oblong and vertical,which I like , but they should have been set to an angle similar to the windshield to reduce the air turbulence.

My beef is not with the vehicle, but with Lincoln itself. Their customer service is deplorable. I paid $2,000 for an upgrade with Navigational System. The Navigational system is extremely poor and inaccurate. My husband's portable Garmin works better. I called for a new disc to see if the new one was improved. Customer Service said they are not responsible for it because they bought it from another company. If I want a new one I can call this company and get one for $169. They didn't mind taking my money the first time, but don't call them with a complaint. My Durango was a better value overall and far more comfortable.

I am very disappointed in my 2004 Aviator and the sales experience was horrific. I have had the vehicle two weeks and it has already been in the shop for two days. The ride is nice but the wind noise is unacceptable in a vehicle of this price. The Aviator hesitates when punched getting on the freeways of Houston which has almost caused an accident several times. It drinks gas worse than my son drinks soda. The storage compartments are numerous but small. The leg room in the back seats is tight and not comfortable for the passengers I have taken for a ride. There is more room in my Mountaineer, which is a better buy for the money.

Nice vehicle, but multiple small problems which have taken several visits per problem to resolve. In cold climate, the climate control system is horrendous. When heating, blows cold air on side windows and windshield and very warm air at feet. Makes for very uncomfortable passenger compartment, and also difficult to keep windows defrosted. This results in safety concern. Lincoln says this is "normal" and "within spec". Customer service after the sale is horrible, and don't expect anything when you call the Customer Service Center. Too bad for such an expensive vehicle.

This is the best SUV you can buy for the money. While some complain that gas mileage is poor, it is even poorer in the $60,000 plus crowd. So, if you want cruise with the best vehicles made you have to spend money for gas. Ask anyone who owns/owned a range rover.

I have had my new 2004 Lincoln Aviator for one month now. I love the new comfort,ease of driving and all the great features.The interior looks very classy with its burl walnut accents and satin nickel chrome.My new Aviator is wider and longer than my previous Mountaineer and also has the advance trac and roll stability control, along with side impact airbags and speed sensitive front airbags.The only drawback is that it does take premium gas and the milage is not as good as a small car. However, with the Lincoln Name and Luxury I am getting a Fantastic SUV that is a pleasure to drive and a pleasure to look at.

We had recently purchased a Chevy Suburban as we are a family of 6---4 kids (3 are teens) & 2 adults...well, after owning it for several months we felt it was not for us--too 'bus-like' hard to park, terrible fuel mileage, etc...We had purchased a Lincoln LS in December & loved it, so we looked into the Aviator--what an excellent choice-- we were SOLD!! The dealership bought the Suburban from us & gave us a smokin' deal on the Aviator--everyone fits comfortably & no trouble parking it! It's 'zippy' & fun to drive too!! We're definitely a Lincoln family-thank you!

Having leased two Mountaineers, in the recent past, the Aviator is a huge step up in terms of luxury, performance, ride, and overall enjoyment. Recently dropped into my dealership for an oil change on my Mercury Monterey, saw a white, loaded, Aviator on the showroom floor . . . turned in my Lincoln LS (leased) a couple of months early and drove away in the Aviator. No regrets, really love the vehicle.

The vehicle seems ok with the same style as a Ford Explorer. But once you get in, the comfort level is minimal. The layout of the dash is fine, but the flip down cover for the stereo is kind of cheesy. The seats are the most uncomfortable I have ever sat in. The sides are hard and hit right in the thigh. No matter how I turned, I was not able to find a comfirtable position. For a luxury SUV, they did not put a good effort into the seating. There is also a hesitation when stepping on the gas to get on a freeway which could be improved (1 to 1 1/2 seconds)

It's real nice all around, inside and out. There's nothing like it in it's 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 SUV's that seat 7 or 8. I hope mileage improves after break-in. It's our first SUV and easy transition from Mercedes E320 though the MB is slightly superior in every aspect but $20k more.

I test drove just about every SUV out there before purchasing this vehicle, and the choice was crystal-clear for me. The engine has a "snarl" to it, combining great pick-up with a smooth ride. The Aviator handles exceptionally well. The quality and material are luxurious, yet also practical. No feature is over-the-top, or ostentatious. The overall product is elegant, sporty, classy, and functional.

Really like the vehicle, but the 2004 seems to have a fundamental design flaw in the climate control that allows frigid air to flow from the side window demisters. Temperature difference from demisters to floor exceeds 60 degrees, causing the vehicle to be unable to control thermal comfort for the passengers and driver. Really a shame as it is a great truck in all other respects. Factory denies the issue, but it has been verified as a problem in cold climates on all 2004 vehicles tested by the dealer.

Wife has driven Lincoln Town cars for years, but this unit has quickly become her favorite. Fits well in the garage, handles great, plenty of power, and it's more comfortable than the 2000 Town car we traded for this SUV. We haven't taken any trips yet, but are looking forward to doing a 500 mile trip soon. I had wanted a Navigator, but the size was too large for us. Without a doubt, this is the best vehicle we have owned.

Although we've only owned our Aviator three weeks and 1100 miles, it is a marvelous vehicle. We have a 2001 Explorer V8 AWD which we love, and this Lincoln is a big step upward.

We bought this car last September. Had trouble initially with the fit and finish -- many of the panels were not installed very well, resulting in a disturbing squeak from the rear lift glass. The dealership was great however, and now my car is perfect. We just drove it over the mountains in the snow and loved every minute. Very quiet, very comfortable, very powerful, and most important--very safe. Even my wife felt comfortable driving it in a snow storm--and she really hates driving in the snow. Great performance on the highway, and a snap to maneuver downtown with the boosted power steering. It handles like a much smaller vehicle.

Nice features abound in this car, however the inside space is compromised a bit. The seats are luxurious as long as you are not very large in the derrier. Car performance is excellent - the AWD gets over any snowy or icy conditions. Not much space for hauling cargo even with the 3 row seat folded down. More of a luxury ride than a utility vehicle.

I love my Aviator! It's fun to drive and attractive to look at. The interior of the Aviator is posh, comfortable, and the controls are conventienly located. The exterior is glamorous and eloquent and visibly expressive of emotion.

it works !

I have owned my Aviator for nearly six months and have taken it to the shop four times. When I bought it there was black glue on the headliner, it was replaced but now I am stuck with fingerprints all over it. The rainguards were installed improperly, they replaced them now they are falling off again. Now the vehicle is in the shop because it overheated to the point that I couldn't drive it and I was stranded by the side of the highway. For the price that I paid for the vehicle none of these problems should have happened in the first six months of ownership. Very unhappy.

The top of the line in SUV'S.

We tried the BMW, Denali, Yukon and Volvo before settling with our Aviator. The BMW and Volvo were just too small for traveling plus rear seat room for persons my size (6'2" 240lbs) was really uncomfortable. The ride wasn't acceptable. The Yukon & Denali were a close 2nd. The mileage was very acceptable for this vehicle. On a trip to Maine from Florida (5100 miles) average mileage of 22.8 per gallon. Air was increased in the tires however to 34 Lbs. to achieve as a dealer Friend had advised. City driving averages 17.5- 19.0 depending on how much is stop & go.

great stuff

This is the first time that grandma has had an SUV for a vehicle. The grandchildren love it, her co-workers love it, and her sidekick (grandpa) loves it. The Aviator makes her want to take a trip but so far it has been used primarily for traveling to work. However, lunches with the gals from the office allow her to show off her new wheels. But the best is having the grandchildren with her and going to places to eat and the movies. Yep, she loves it best of all.

Excellent SUV

A joy to drive and a huge step up from my Explorer. I have had "zero" problems with the Aviator and it's stability, handling, and acceleration are excellent. The internal "creature comforts" are excellent too(dual climate controls, excellent radi/CD, DVD player, cool or warm seat controls for driver and passenger, controls on steering wheel for radio/cd, cruise control).

Love it! It is really a great vehicle. I traded, reluctantly, my Acura MDX, now I am thrilled!

Love my Aviator!

After driving a Suburban for eight years, the Aviator feels like a sports car! This SUV truly drives like a car. It is very responsive and fun to drive. Turning radius is awesome.

Great truck

My wife was driving an Explorer and wanted something that was a bit more on the luxury side. This vehicle fit the bill. This is the first vehicle that I got her that she really enjoys.

This suv has the most power i've experienced in a SUV and I've had a tahoe and an explorer. The ride is smooth but the engine occcassionally revs very high with noise to match. Middle row is tight but the overall appearance and luxury feeeling surpass the comfort of passengers.

I've 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 son's friends in comfort while they watch a DVD or listen to music. The ride is very smooth. A++

I haven't ever been as satisfied with any vehicle i've purchased as I am with the aviator! I own a 2003 awd fully loaded edition(no other options available) and I must say I can't think of anything else this suv should/can have. The cooled seats is an option even other suv's in the higher price range don't have. It's 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!!

I could have done better!

Interior less user friendly than earlier models. Dome lights don't shine where you need them to. Analog clock, now really...it could at least be readable. Flimsy console. Clumsy info center. Armrests gone! These are only the things that distract you from driving. Overall I think I could have presented a better design inside and outside. They took more steps backwards than they took forward.

I don't like to drive SUV'S. I'm a "stick" sporty car driver. My wife has driven two Jeep grand Cherokee's and a Lexus rx300. I only drove those when I had to, but now I can't wait for an oportunity to drive this SUV. It handles well, fast and sooo comfortable. My 22 year old son leaves his Musrang covertable in the driveway if he gets a chance to drive the Aviator. I highly recommend this vehicle.
