The Explorer, overall, is a pretty mediocre vehicle. It does have quite a bit of seating, and even for a tall person like me, it seats very comfortably. I really enjoy driving it around, because even though it is an older vehicle, it still has the looks of a newer one. I wish that the gas mileage were better however.

The car has performed well since I bought it. Only one somewhat major issue that was caught by a mechanic I've trusted. I was looking for a comfortable car because we take road trips very often and I also wanted something that handled well in bad weather. My previous car was terrible in snow and rain. This car does great in bad weather. I feel confident driving and I like being higher up as well. It makes me feel safe driving this car.
