Review
This is my first Explorer sport. I
love the style on the outside, and the
interior is nice, and is exactly the
same since the '95 model in a lot of
ways. the only thing i dont like is
the handles in the interior, the paint
chips off of the handles.

I've only been driving the Explorer
Sport for a month but must admit that
it seems well built. I do miss the
roominess of my '98 F-150 XLT extended
cab. The Explorer feels more like a
cockpit-does make it easier to clean
though! It is simply wonderful in snow
conditions. I've never driven an SUV
and am disappointed in the gas
mileage. Since the car is so new, I'm
hoping that will get better as it gets
broken in.

I really like my Explorer Sport. I
have to agree tho it wouldn't be too
great if I had a kid who needed to be
put into a car seat.
I've hauled around my 4 year old nephew
and he has to have a car seat and it's
doggone inconvenient to put him into it.
Otherwise, I have no complaints about
this vehicle. It's roomy; it drives
well; I feel safe in it.

Overall, a great value for the money.
Roomy enough for 4 people, 5 people is
a squeeze. Solid interior build. Have
had no problems in over 1 year of
ownership.

making this vehicle after 2003.

In one year haven't found any problems
at all. Still looks and drives as if
just out of the dealership. Good
amount of standard features like ABS,
CD player, power windows and locks. If
anybody is not into SUVS that much and
wants to buy SUV just once in the
lifetime without shelling out huge
amount of money... this is a right
vehicle.

Traded in a 2001 Ford Ranger for this
little gem. The ride is great,
compared to the Ranger and almost as
smooth as the Mazda Tribute. My wife
and I have a baby that's six-months old
and it's fairly easy to get her into
the back seat. The passenger seat
slides out of the way a good bit, but
nothing beats a four-door auto. A good
SUV for those who can't afford the four-
door Explorer.

Even thought the look haven't change
much in a couple of year the small
changes that had been made are nice.
Ford have put more into the Quality the
expolorer which I myself love I would
like to have more Quality then added
looks. The wider base and a more bold
look it very nice. If you have child I
highly recommed that you get a four
door not just in a SUV but in any car
you buy it's always hard to put someone
in the backseat of any car.

I never considered a Ford until I test
drove this Explorer two years ago. I
have not had one problem with it since
I bought it. I drove it cross country
(Seattle to Orlando) and the seats
proved to be extremely comfortable. I
have the version with side airbags and
wished the front seats had head rests
though. There is also a rattle in the
trunk from the plastic loose. I can't
seem to make it go away. The truck is
very powerful and beats many cars off
the line while it pegs you to the back
of the seat on acceleration. I might
consider another Ford next year, but
they are going to have to get more
refined before I buy over a foreign
model.

I was very excited now disgruntled. The
car has slow reaction to manuevering
around, I find it to be poor. The back
of the car is light and is a big
problem when it's windy. The door knobs
inside the car are in a odd place.
These are the negatives of the car. The
positives are, very comfortable, rather
quiet ride, no problems yet with the
engine. The stereo system is fantastic.
Overall, I wouldn't buy it again, not
the car to have if you live in the snow
or a windy area but if you stay within
a community and don't do much
traveling, maybe you want to think
about it. I'll probably get rid of mine
soon and purchase another ford vehcile.
