2003 Lincoln Navigator

Pros: Quiet cabin, Good ride and handling, Strong V-8, many options
Cons: Third Row bench seat not to comfortable for adults

The 2003 Lincoln Navigator is completely redesigned. It comes with a powerful V-8 engine. It has fully independent suspension. The cabin of the SUV is very quiet. The ride and handling are better then the previous model years. Inside you will be amazed at how nice this SUV really is. It has a great Navigation System. Where many luxury SUV's take premium fuel the Navigator takes regular. It is better than average on snowy roads.

Pros: Elegant styling,lots of awesome features,easy navigation system
Cons: FUEL Economy is TERRIBLE!

This SUV is truly the king of the Road. After owning an Escalade 2002 for about 2 years I traded it in for the Navigator. The Navigator feels a lot heavier than the Escalade but in my opinion the steering is tighter in the Nav. The interior is much nicer in the Navigator as well, however if you are looking for MPG forget it....I average only 10 or 11 mpg...and thats on a good day. I have had a few problems...rear end noise...shaking front end...and a few other misc problems...but overall it's been very reliable...and most of all I feel safe driving it.

Pros: 1) FOLD DOWN REAR SEATS 2) AUTOMATIC LIFT GATE 3) BETTER TIRES
Cons: 1)NOISY CABIN 2)RUSTY UNDERCARRIAGE 3)NO ELBOW RESTS 4)NO CASSETTE 5)EASILY SCRATCHING INTERIOR 6)CHEAP LEATHER

Just purchased a 2003 Navigator after trading in my 1998. Firstly, the 1998 Navigator was one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. Other than a spark plug issue at the beginning, Bad factory tires (Continental) and some suspension problems this vehicle was a 10!

As for the 2003 model: *Purchased from Ford Canada to save the depreciation ($51,000cdn vs $74,000cdn with 26,000kms)

We purchased this model basically because of the "Power controlled fold down seat option" (all the back seats fold down) as the '98 had very awkward seats that were hard to remove (back) and the front seats did not fold. As for the 2003 (already had to repair the air conditioning unit) I must say I am very surprised with the pros vs. the cons...NEXT TIME IN WILL BE THE LEXUS LX470 MORE MONEY BUT THE QUALITY AND VALUE IS NOT IN THE LINCOLN.
