  • Best of the SUVs for the money - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    Looked at everything else and kept coming back to the Sport for the price and looks. Perfect for a couple who never hauls kids. Drives well on the road with much more response than the 4 door due to 600 lbs of less wt. Same engine and tranny as the 4door. Quiet on the road.

  • Good Vehicle - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport

    I bought this car a year ago and have almost 30,000 miles on it. It has been a very good car and I take it everywhere. Will definitely drive it until it cant be driven anymore.

  • Happy about my Explorer!! - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport

    I purchased my vehicle 3 months ago and I am very happy with my Explorer. I love the interior and exterior design. It is a comfortable ride, but it is a little noisy.

  • hoping for the best - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    I bought my explorer sport used about a month ago. Its beautiful, it has every option available, i love the sun roof leather, and the strong motor. ive out almost 1500 miles on it in that time cuz i cant stop driving it ill drive it just to kill time. But i am a little nervouse have noticed a few minor prob.s one it hesitates on some shifts, and jerks into others not all the time but sometimes. And once it did not want to start in the morning, but it was cold so who knows.

  • Best small SUV - 2003 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    I received my 03 Explorer Sport XLT Premium on 4/30/03 as my high school graduation gift. I used to drive a 95 Explorer XLT. This new one is much better. The power of the engine is remarkable compared to the old OHV V6. The gas mileage is a bit better than my old Explorer too. Definately a great vehicle!! It is worth the extra money for the XLT Premium!

  • Great value for the price - 2003 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    This is a very roomy SUV. I purchased the 5 speed model and am very impressed with the pick-up power it has off the line and passing power on the highway.The feul economy is not everything i would like it to be, but this also isnt a small vehicle. The design is very sporty and i get compliments on its appearance all the time. Overall im very happy with ford on this one.

  • Creating a convert - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    I have always been a Ford fan, but my husband was a Chevy fan. After my 93 Mustang finally started dying after 120,000 miles and through no fault of its own he was changing his mind. After we got the Explorer Sport he has totally changed his mind and now loves Fords. Its my truck and I hardly even get to drive it. Being chauffered isnt so bad after all. We live in the country so we put ALOT of miles on our vehicles and we have had no major problems yet. Kim

  • Disappointed. - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    Im very disappointed with my Explorer. It handles terribly, even dangerously, and wants to veer off to the right and left when it hits potholes that for other cars that would be inconsequential. The interior also has a very cheap feel.

  • Overall Pleased - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    For the most part, I have been very pleased with my Sport. It is very nice looking inside and out. GREAT transmission/engine combination. Acceptable fuel economy (avg. ~17mpg in combo driving). Handles great for a SUV, but rides pretty bad - mostly due to the short wheelbase I am sure. Fairly capable offroad. I have three main complaints: too many rattles, too much body flex, and terrible resale value.
