EditorialLincoln has improved its reliability profile as Ford's premium brand. The Navigator and Aviator perform well in safety ratings. Electronic air suspension systems on Navigator can be expensive to repair out of warranty. The MKZ shares platform with the Ford Fusion and benefits from that model's reliability record.
