Pros: Reliable, sturdy, good-lookin' SUV
Cons: Not so great gas mileage, not so easy to-get-into rear seats
Summary: Okay...I have to admit...this is my first Ford. Up until 1997 when I bought my Ford Explorer Sport new, I had always been a Volkswagen girl. I LOVE the way Volkswagens handle and look...but I spent more time gettin' them repaired then driving 'em!

Pros: Handling, room on the inside, plenty of accessories to add for more beauty
Cons: Price could be lower.
Summary: If you like a vehicle with room, comfort, good gas mileage, easy handling, and can choose from hundreds of accessories, then the Ford Explorer is for you. I wanted a truck but didn't care to much to have the open bed in the back. I also want 4 doors ... read more
