  • My Review - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    This vehicle can take a beating. I have driven it on off-road, interstate highway, country roads, and city roads and it has performed quite well.

    Even thought the look havent 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 its always hard to put someone in the backseat of any car.

    I love my Explorer, when I first got it the transmission went out, but it was under warranty, no big deal and they gave me a loaner. The car runs very smooth for an SUV, its pretty quiet, seats are comfortable and anyone can fix it.

  • Awesome Vehicle - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport

    This truck rides like a car. The acceleration is incredible. The ride is very smooth compared to my 93 Exp. Sport.Instrument cluster has a great look to it and the exterior looks rough and ready.

    Have not had a problem with this Explorer. IM driving it to work daily and through the snowiest of conditions in the Upper Peninsula of Mighigan.

  • Best looking Suv out there ! - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    I have had my 2002 Explorer Sport for 8 months now and am very pleased with it. The handling is very good and compared to my 93 Explorer Sport it feels like a sports car. The power is very good. There is no comparison between my new sport and my old one on the freeway. I have yet to find anything wrong with it so far except for a few rattles.

    Great car for those who want an affordable SUV that drives and rides extremely well. Very satisfied with my purchase. The interior looks very sporty and also is very comfortable.

  • Good but miss my F-150 - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    Ive 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. Ive never driven an SUV and am disappointed in the gas mileage. Since the car is so new, Im hoping that will get better as it gets broken in.

  • Unsatisfied - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    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 its 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 wouldnt 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 dont do much traveling, maybe you want to think about it. Ill probably get rid of mine soon and purchase another ford vehcile.

  • Great SUV - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    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 cant 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.
