1999 Lincoln Navigator

The 1999 Lincoln Navigator is surprisingly easy to drive.Turning and accelerating pose no problem for even the most reticent of drivers. It has that "driving on air" feel of big American-made cars. On the inside, these behemoths are far less intimidating. The real difference comes in the Navigator's use of two bucket seats behind the driver which aim at making driving seem more like sitting in your living room.

The controls permitting back seat passengers to fiddle with the radio are a mixed blessing for families with young kids...or teens. Their size and seating options give them much room. The automatic environmental system worked like a charm, and the sound and light systems were comfortable. Doors and the back hatch, lock automatically for safety purposes. The '99 Navigator comes equipped with a third bench seat, which can easily accommodate three adults. Unfortunately, when this seat is installed, storage space is limited, well, only enough for five grocery bags. Folding the back seat up doesn't make it any better. In order to free up some real room, either the backbench or the second row seats must be removed.
