It is a safe vehicle. Gas mileage is good for an SUV. Handles like a small car.

I bought my black 2011 Ford Expedition to be able to fit my entire family of 5 in at the same time without giving up a sleek and sophisticated design. Though large in size, this SUV handled well and never made me feel like I was out of control of the vehicle. The interior material holds up well against a few years of general wear and tear, and feels soft. There is plenty of room for seating, and 5 full size adults could fit comfortably. It does burn fuel faster than I would like, but that is to be expected for an SUV. The trunk is wide enough to fit in all sorts of tools and equipment (maybe not quite large enough to help someone move, but close). It has been in the shop once for a standard oil change, but otherwise I have not experienced any problems with it.
