Considering its size, the Lincoln Navigator is remarkably agile. It's easy to manage and actually fun on a twisting, winding highway. There's little body lean and it's possible to drive fairly quickly without upsetting passengers. Power rack-and-pinion steering transforms the Navigator's handling dynamics. Lincoln worked hard on the steering system and the Navigator turns in quickly for corners, moving almost instantly once the steering wheel starts to turn. The independent rear suspension keeps the wheels firmly on the ground with no axle tramping over bumps or undulations. Anybody who enjoys driving a European car would be happy with the steering on the Navigator. On the other hand, we can imagine some loyal Lincoln buyers having a little difficulty adapting to a steering system that reacts to a driver's input with precision. The 2004 Lincoln Navigator combines the towing and hauling capabilities you'd expect from a full-size SUV with the smooth and pleasant driving experience you'd want in a luxury sedan. Its interior is modern and stylish and, thanks to its independent rear suspension, it has third-row seating space comparable to that of the much longer Chevy Suburban and Cadillac Escalade ESV. That should make Navigator exactly the right choice for a large number of buyers.
