    My Third Navigator -- there will be more!

    This is the most comfortable and capable vehicle I've ever owned. Even now -- with almost 80K miles -- it looks and drives like new. It never fails to put a smile on my face!

    Great vehicle power and plush

    I have the L series, it fits 6 comfortably, has great performance, however gas mileage is not that great. But it does depend on how you drive.

    Love my Lincoln Navigator

    My Lincoln Navigator is a luxury car with all the bells and whistles. Very comfortable to ride. Love the remote 3rd seats that let down for extra room or let up for additional seating. The auto-technology is wonderful. I had checked consumer reviews and it measures up to everything that previous customers had to say about it.

    Great Investment!

    The features that come standard with this vehicle are better than some of the new vehicles coming out this year. I drive a lot of highway miles and so far the gas mileage is exceptional.

    Very comfortable and quiet ride.

    Most comfortable and quiet ride I've owned. First row room is good, second row could be better. Access to third row is difficult but the third row has not been used since I've owned it.

    Excellent driving experience.

    I enjoy driving my Navigator, yes that�s the word: Enjoy. This vehicle drives like a sedan and give me the feeling of been well protected and able to confront any road. I turn my sound system and drive like if I�m out of the chaos of the dominican transit.

    The Beast

    Our Bountiful Performance dealer brought our license plate to our home as we were leaving on a 2000 mile trip shortly. As the car is all black and is huge and comfortable, we call it The Beast. So comfortable. Drove 18 hours one days, varying speeds as still in breakin. Cannot say enough about the smooth ride. Did not feel crippled when getting out of the car as has been the case with every other vehicle I've owned. Rough roads no problem - smooth ride no matter what. We have room for two dog cages, hunting guns, suitcases, cooler, etc and room left over. This is a great car! If it is as reliable as it rides I'm a happy customer.
