Pros: Runs like a dream
Cons: Could use more room in the back

Last June my husband and I were in the market for a new vehicle. We had bought a mini van 3 yrs prior.(A 1991 Ford Areostar). I loved our van and didn't really think we needed a new one, except that the air conditioner never worked and it was starting to...

Pros: Great color, multi-tasking vehicle, wonderful on the highway, city streets and lakeshores. Carries lots of fishing equipment! Also has easy-to-clean interior.
Cons: Lessened control on rough terrain at speeds over 30 mph. The Sport model only has 3 doors, so when you have passengers in the back seat, it is slightly more troublesome to enter and exit the vehicle.

I recently leased an Explorer and it is great so far; handles well, smooth ride, plenty of power even in the V-6 version. Split seats in back fold down for transporting large items and the back door can be fully opened or just partially opened at the...

Pros: versatility, comfort, style, 4 wheel drive, power
Cons: needs better fuel economy

When I was sixteen, my folks bought me my first car. It was a used Grand Torino...a real piece of junk! Never stayed out of the shop for more than 2-months at a stretch. My second car was a new Chevy Cavalier Z-28. Let's just say that after the...
