2000 Lincoln Navigator - Comfort and luxury
I was initially drawn to this vehicle because I had a very small car years ago and I really like the safe feeling of a large and in charge vehicle. I certainly do feel safe in this vehicle. I can easily see above the cars and the views can't be beat. I can easily see if someone is approaching me from all directions. I like the viewpoint that I have when I am driving and I feel very secure. I know if I got into an accident I would be just fine in this vehicle. The handling of this vehicle does take some getting used to. It is so much bigger than a car and it almost has the sense of driving a small truck. It maneuvers well and easily but it does feel extremely heavy and just a little bit clumsy while I am driving tit. I do like the amount of space inside. At first I thought it would be t... (more)
Story
I remember traveling to Disneyworld in this vehicle with our family, It was a very different kind of trip than we were used to. We sang, played games and generally had wonderful family talks that we never would have been able to do on an airplane. We also had a few traveling days to talk about our trip on the way back.
Pros
I feel very safe and secure and I know my family does too. I like the weight of the vehicle and it is very reliable mechanically. The space inside is a big asset and it provides us a means of transportation that we have not had access to before as we can vacation with it when we would have normally taken a plane to a destination.
Cons
Can be big and a little overly clumsy. Very difficult to park in more traditional small spaces in shopping malls and grocery store parking lots. Sometimes I just want to drive a regular car.
2007 Lincoln Navigator - Disappointed
I currently own a Lincoln Navigator that my husband purchased for me sometime ago. I also previously owned a black Navigator so I feel pretty well versed in this department. Although I have owned two, this is my last purchase in the Lincoln family. The vehicle is nice looking and it appears to be in great condition with relatively low mileage. However, it runs differently. Some of the problems that I have experienced are common problems amongst owners of the Navigator, which leads me to believe that these are manufacturers problems that have not been resolved by the company. In addition, once the problem was discovered, it appears that the company made little effort to rectify it. One my major problems is with the air compressor, which is supposed to raise the car up when the car cuts ... (more)
Story
We have taken my oldest to college and some other minor road trips in this vehicle. It fit my family, luggage and cooler in it. And allowed for them to be comfortable while we traveled.
Pros
The car is a three row vehicle which seats my family comfortably with ample space. When the kids were little we did a lot of carpooling to sports events. The vehicle allowed me to seat 8 people comfortably in the car. The car is also in great outer condition and gives ample room but much more stylish than a mini-van
Cons
As I specified previously, the air compressor and suspension continue to be my biggest problems. I feel like the car should be in better condition especially since I don't use it that often. I also replaced the compressor in the first Navigator however, I didn't realize that it was an ongoing problem until I had already purchased the second vehicle.
2007 Lincoln Navigator - I love my Lincoln.
Four-wheel drive I can get out of my driveway. Third row seating -- plenty of room for my family. Seats seven passengers. I can haul my kids -- plus some. Plenty of storage in way back for family vacations or sporting events. Sun roof very nice in the summer time. DVD Player with wireless head phones. Tow package. I can haul a trailer or small camper. It gets around very nice and drives down the road very smooth. I feel like I am driving an F-150 pickup, but I have the extra room inside. Being that it's a big SUV, I don't get the best gas mileage. So for driving
back and forth a lot, it costs me more money than I'd like, but I feel like it's worth it with the room I have. I also have the big 20" tires, so it's not the cheapest to replace the tires, but then again, I can go almost anyw... (more)
Story
My whole family will pile in this vehicle to go camping. We are packed to the brim but we fit!!
Pros
This vehicle gets around fabulous in the winter. I have room to haul my family and all of our necessities especially on a trip or taking my children to sporting events.
Cons
Probably it's big, and I need to find a good parking spot.
