  Good value for SUV - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By benny981 - December 8 - 10:00 am

  Looked at other smaller SUV like the Pathfinder and 4Runner. Based on performance/price. The smaller Explorer is a much better value if this is a used as a second car and you already have a Minivan or something else that will seat seven. As far as reliability, you may use the money you saved on the purchase to but an extended warranty (just in case). The Pathfinder with similar options is low-mid 30s., The 4Runner is a little lower, but at 183 HP and lower tourque, its a no-brainer. Im happy with my choice and I saved at least 7-8K on the purchase price.

  Think Twice - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By RMCass - October 25 - 2:00 am

  My husband and I purchased the SUV in March 2001. We previously owned a Chevrolet Tahoe and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. We decided to opt for a smaller SUV. Now, one year later, it has approximately 12000 miles on it and, basically, the truck is falling apart. The rear wiper works when it decides it wants to work, the interior control buttons for the windows, etc. are falling off, falling through the holes amd the car is already starting to stall at only a year old. The handling on it is horrible - when you hit a bump or pothole, the whole tale end "skips". Basically, the truck fish-tails when you hit a bump or pothole doing more than 20 MPH.

  Wishing I bought a 4 door Explorer... - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Mario - October 25 - 2:00 am

  For my lifestyle, I should have purchased a 4 door Explorer. Its a pain in the $#@! to put my child in the back seat. Dont even try putting an adult back there. Its tough. An adult will have a real difficult time climbing into the back seat. I like the engine and trans though. The vehicle is very peppy! Wind noise can be very loud when driving on a windy day however. Lastly, I dont like the fact that my new 2002 Sport looks like a 1991 Sport. The body hasnt really changed in 10 years! The Sport needs to be redesigned or discontinued from Fords line up. It is very outdated.

  Explorer Sport: A Great Truck - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By scotty M. - August 26 - 2:00 am

  The 2001 Eplorer Sport is a great truck, the new design makes it stand out and I really like the look of the flares, it gives it a more bulky look. The interior is really nice, except one flaw, the door handles are easliy scrathed and the paint flakes off the plastic.

  Best Little SUV Ever - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By FORDMAN - August 18 - 1:23 am

  Ive owned my 2001 Explorer sport since 2003 when I was in college. Since then Ive clocked more than 100000 miles in it. Aside from a trip to the dealer for a bad air flow sensor shes been good to me. Never let me down, always started, still runs like a champ. I love the interior layout, while small I always seem to find room for what Im hauling when I lay the seats flat. Sadly I will soon have to part with her as Im about to have a baby and will need to upgrade to another Explorer (this time the sport trac) to have 4 doors to fit the baby.

  Most efficient SUV for your money!!! - 2003 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Rafa - August 15 - 10:00 am

  The Explorer Sport is the kind of vehicle that will leave you with some extra cash on your wallet so you can go ahead and spend it on great outdoor activities you envisioned yourself prior to purchasing it. Fun to drive, strong engine, great looks, lots of room at a nice price tag.

  Ill never drive another small ride! - 2003 Ford Explorer Sport
  By tirofog - August 15 - 10:00 am

  For the size of this vehicle it is great! Good gas mileage and handles like a dream. I will never own another small car again. This is the way to go. Alot of room, even for backseat passengers. Also, I love having the space in the back to haul things and carry things as needed. It may have been around for awhile but it is still one of the best for the price and look.

  A review to read - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Car buyer - August 10 - 10:00 am

  I have had my Explorer a year and a half. Since the day I bought it I have had on going problems. All four of my brake pads were cracked when I got my Explorer. Secondly, the silver paint chipped off the radio and both door handles. Later this year my car wouldnt start due to a faulty part. I have had nothing but problems.
