I purchased this vehicle used from my regular mechanic, so I knew it was a solid buy. It had a new, replacement transmission, which was a problem for this model year. For a ten year old vehicle, it was very clean with no rust and only minor plastic fading. Since it was pre-owned, it did have some stickers that were not removed. It also had very low miles for it's age, under 80,000 miles. It is roomy, with a third row seat you can fold down for extra storage. It also has the NSX sport package with running boards, 18" alloy wheels, a roof rack, extra trim and a premium sound system. It has a 4'3 liter V6 engine and automatic 4 wheel drive. It came with new tires, suited for on or off road use. They are a little noisy, but no more than a normal truck. It also has some interior noise, to be expected for an SUV. Although other reviews report engine problems, I have had none to date. Many of the parts the mechanic replaced before sale have a lifetime warranty, such as the brakes. Even though it is over 10 years old, when detailed, it still looks good. I get compliments on it often. Even though I came from a long line of GM purchases, I can't complain about it at all. It is not very fuel efficient, as could be expected for a mid-sized SUV. The pluses outweigh the drawback by a wide margin, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid used vehicle in this class.

This vehicle has been one of my all time favorite vehicles I've owned. It is a midsize SUV, has plenty of room for hauling around what you need while still getting great MPG (usually 25mpg). While many SUVs feel top heavy and unstable during travel, the Ford Explorer Sport is tight and easy to drive. It has a comfortable interior, great get up and go when you need it (6 cylinder) and is always one of the best looking vehicles in the lot! The A/C keeps the vehicle cool all the way to the back and the rear seats lay flat to give even more options for hauling etc.

I love my Ford Explorer. There is plenty of room inside the vehicle and it looks very sleek from the outside. I have only had to replace a few parts since I bought the vehicle. I am at approximately 140,000 miles and everything on the frame is still holding together well. It is a very quiet vehicle with a great sound system, so the luxury level is very high. The seats hold up well, and so does the back hatch. It comfortably fits 7-8 people in the car with no complaints. I love the look of the vehicle – it’s not too boxy looking. It gets great gas mileage driving on the freeway, driving on country back roads, and driving in the city. I would definitely recommend buying a Ford Explorer if you are looking for a car or SUV. The seats fold down very easily to convert the vehicle from a 7-8 person car into a car with a large storage space in the back. The only thing I dislike about the vehicle is the fact that it is low to the ground.
