2009 Lincoln Navigator
2009 Lincoln Navigator - Lincoln SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
Driving a Navigator feels like piloting your den down the highway.

This 2009 Lincoln Navigator feels a little old already. The non-telescoping wheel made it difficult to find a truly comfortable driving position. Sure, movable pedals may help shorter drivers fit better, but when you're over 6' tall and prefer to sit close to the wheel, there isn't much room for your legs. My complaint applies to pretty much all modern Ford products, but it felt especially cramped in this Navigator given its prodigious dimensions.
