  i cant believe I made it over 120,000 - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
  By nicoleot - October 13 - 7:26 am

  I purchased this car brand new in August 2002. Still driving it. Have put a lot of highway miles. Things replaced, at 60K needed a new transmission. 70k needed a new a/c compresser. Changed brakes 2x. 2 fuel filters. The truck is not great on miles, but still runs. Yeah, the ride is bumpy but I plan to ride it to the ground. Hoping to get 150k on it. I did get better tires for it. Michel..LTX and that improved the ride. Very good with snow. If you own this car keep it. If you dont, I wouldnt go buy a new one. After 50K everything falls apart.

  Not Happy at all! - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Laurie - October 2 - 11:43 am

  Ive owned my Explorer and ever since I had it I was unhappy with it. I had to replace the front end, brakes, shocks, tires since Ive owned it, most within the first year of purchase. The thing I hate the most is its unstability in snow, The vehicle takes off on its own without warning leaving you in the ditch even in 4wd. I just dont feel safe in this vehicle and I am looking for something better.

  A good car at a good price - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Bull_no_1 - August 21 - 10:00 am

  In one year havent found any problems at all. Still looks and drives as if just out of the dealership. Good amount of standard features like ABS, CD player, power windows and locks. If anybody is not into SUVS that much and wants to buy SUV just once in the lifetime without shelling out huge amount of money... this is a right vehicle.

  My Review - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
  By matt96b - July 23 - 10:00 am

  The vehicle has performed quite well. I wish that it got a little better gas mileage, but it is an SUV and I get better gas mileage than I expected.

  Great if you dont have kids - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
  By airforcebrat - February 13 - 2:00 am

  I really like my Explorer Sport. I have to agree tho it wouldnt be too great if I had a kid who needed to be put into a car seat. Ive hauled around my 4 year old nephew and he has to have a car seat and its doggone inconvenient to put him into it. Otherwise, I have no complaints about this vehicle. Its roomy; it drives well; I feel safe in it.

  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.

  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.

  I like It - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
  By carpeni - April 17 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my exploror for 2 yaers now and like it a lot. Have had only 2 problems with it. A leaking rear shock after a year, which took the dealer 6 months to order and replace. And a transmission leak where the motor and transmission mate. The dealership has yet to return my calls on the transmission leak. (maybee because they saw its still under warrenty). Oh and the milege sucks around town (16mpg) but is awesome on the highway (25mpg).

  Best of the SUVs for the money - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
  By hazle - February 17 - 12:16 pm

  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.
