As a mother of two, I was looking for a vehicle that could haul kids and stuff with decent gas mileage for all the driving I do. However, I wanted a car I could be excited about. The Ford Explorer was just that! It definitely isn't a "mom" vehicle. I love the look of it and its presence. The car runs well and has good gas mileage for a large vehicle (the i4 cylinder engine improves the gas mileage). It was everything I wanted in a car.

My car has tons of room. It is a great vehicle for a family with three rows of seats. The radio has an option to connect a Bluetooth device which really allows me to connect and listen to anything that I want to. It gets good gas mileage at about twenty five miles per gallon on the interstate. I also get mileage at about twenty miles per gallon in town. I usually drive about fifteen miles to work one way. This vehicle has been a lifesaver. The explorer also has an option to put the third row seats down which helps to put anything in the back. I have often carried the full capacity in the car and it has not had a problem. I do not like that sometimes it shifts hard when going up hills. It also has a recall on some part, but I do not remember which. I have driven the car over 90,000 miles. It has taken me across most of the United States without hesitation. Their is ample leg room. It handles very well especially in the rain. It has great computer settings. The car will tell you when you need an oil change, when you have a low pressure tire, it has a reverse sensor. I like that it does not have a gas cap since there is not one to loose. I can always carry everything that I need to, but I also have a nice car when I don't need to fill it up.
