We recently bought a 2001 Ford Explorer, used with only 3500 miles on it. It has the leather package, AM/FM CD and Cassette, upgraded speakers, and power everything! Yet after all this negative hype from the media, we still wanted to purchase it. We love it just as much we thought we would. Compared to the Chevy Blazer which we also test drove extensively, the Ford was the best bet for the money. Although we paid $3000 more than we would have paid for the Chevy, the Ford came with options that made it well worth it. The interior is very roomy, and since we're starting a family, we needed the back seat which ample adult seating and leg room. The leather makes it nice because it's easy to keep clean and since I'm a little short, I can slide right in once I hop up high enough. It hardly feels "too big" to drive and it's very easy to park. I love it!
