  Great 2Dr SUV - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
  By PMR - February 26 - 2:00 am

  Overall, a great value for the money. Roomy enough for 4 people, 5 people is a squeeze. Solid interior build. Have had no problems in over 1 year of ownership.

  Overall Good SUV - 2003 Ford Explorer Sport
  By wbjeffers - January 12 - 6:30 am

  I have owned my explorer sport for almost a year now and have put 15,000 miles on it thus far. For a V6 with only 200 horsepower it moves when you punch it. The only complaint I have is that I kinda regret not getting the 4 doors for the added convenience but I am happy with it. Its been reliable and fun to drive. I average 20 mpg with combined city/highway driving. The 6-CD player works great and have had no mechanical problems at all. Ford does make a good SUV.

  2001 Explorer Sport - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Doug A. - January 9 - 2:00 am

  This thing rattles and squeaks like its 30 years old. I previously owned a 98 Explorer Sport, which influenced my decision to purchase this vehicle. The 2001 has a more powerful engine and handles a little bit better, but every other part of this vehicle has made a turn for the worse.

  Tuff little truck, couldnt be happier! - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Liz - December 23 - 2:56 pm

  I love this truck! Only problem so far was covered by warrenty. Size is perfect for someone like me, no kids, 2 dogs, unmarried. Handles like a dream in the snow and carries 4 snow boards, 4 people and all the gear without any trouble or feeling weighed down. Surf board fits on top and running boards make it easy enough to strap the board on top. This truck has been very cheap to own and so far has only required maintenance to keep running; it has over 125k miles on it! Cant say enough good things about it and I will drive it until it wont start anymore. Switched out the stock shocks for Monroe and couldnt be happier. Its the only mod I made and I will never go back to stock shocks.

  Great car so far - 2003 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Dan from Denver - December 23 - 10:00 am

  Im a Ford fan, and still own a Bronco, Bronco II and just sold my Lincoln. Test drove Toyota and Honda - no comparison. Sport has power, good handling, tight construction, nimble steering, good extras. Dealer gave a great price. Dont need 4 dr anymore. Im having fun with it. A little clunky to look at but so are all the other SUVs. Can tell mine from a mile away and thats a plus.

  Love this thing! - 2003 Ford Explorer Sport
  By nissianjeff - November 22 - 5:13 am

  I got the 5 speed model. Love it! So much fun to drive. Bit bumpy tho in town. Wish it had a bigger tank. gettin right at 15MPH. Good stereo and speakers, ice cold AC too! Power windows, locks, etc. Its black and I decked it out with a lot of crome options, step bars, mirrows, outside door handles, fuel door cover, etc. Looks great! Get lots of compliments on it all the time. Added the windows awnings, bug sheild too. Its quite a looker! I wouldnt have liked it near as much with the auto tranny tho, Im sure! Love the 5 speed!

  Damn Ball Joints - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By big c - November 21 - 2:00 am

  Overall its been good, Only issues are squeaky brakes whenever I brake between the speeds of 35mph to 50mph since day one Took the truck in 3 times regarding this...never could find anything they replaced the brake pads only once. EGR sensor failed. And 2 replaced ball joints in 2 years. I dont off-road either. But its been dependable.

  A great car! - 2003 Ford Explorer Sport
  By xpoyzenivx - November 4 - 2:00 am

  I love my Explorer! I will keep buying them as long as they keep making them. A very reasonable buy for what you get; lots of great low-priced extras such as power seats, etc. Very comfortable! Doesnt handle as well as it could though.

  I think I made a HUGE mistake! - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By togobackintime - October 10 - 2:00 am

  This was, unfortunately an Impulse buy. Ill NEVER do that again! Rides as if you are riding on solid rubber tires. The rattles are unbelievable! If you test drive one of these, take it over just the littliest bit of road imperfections, ouch! Gas mileage is shameful! Got a Big Wallet?..youll need it! 5 Years to go & dreading it!
