2003 Ford Explorer Sport - Ford Explorer Sport

My car has been very good to me the past four years that I have had it. I have had very few problems with this car. The quality of it is alright for being a 2003, but I believe there are plenty of nicer cars that were most likely better taken care of that were made in 2003. My door handle broke and that was fixed, after that, it broke again and is currently broke.

Story

When my friend and I were in the big city and raced a few trucks while we were driving.

Pros

The qualities I enjoyed the most out of this vehicle is that it sits up pretty high, and I like that because I am able to see where I am going better and see cars my height a lot better too. I also like that the tires and shocks seem to hold up pretty great, because I tend to go over a lot of curbs and nothing has been wrong with my car so far when it comes to the shocks and tires.

Cons

The things I hated the most about this car include: the lack of power, how easily the center console breaks and how easy the handles break. The lack of power really gets me. I know that it is probably not because of Ford, but the owner before didn't take care of it, so when getting on the highway, it takes forever. The center console is very loose, and therefore, it was simple to break. The handles on all of my doors seem to break extremely easy for what I think they should.

2003 Ford Explorer Sport - 150,000 miles

I bought this vehicle used, and it only have 50,000 miles on it. Living in snowy areas, this car has been a complete boon and made it so easy to drive in the snow. It has 4-wheel drive and is perfectly weighted that I never feel like I'm going to slide.

Story

When nobody else could drive in the snow, I had a blast driving around in the parking lots with the four-wheel drive. I never have any issues getting where I want to go, weather or not!

Pros

It has a good amount of space. The seats pull down all the way, and you can get a lot more than you would think in there. It has great handling (see in snow), and even though some SUVs can be a little top heavy, this feels like the weight is really well distributed. I never feel like I'm going to blow over.

Cons

Two doors do not work well with 2 daughters. It can be a pain to get everybody in and out multiple times in an outing. The two doors also make it so that the windows don't actually roll down, which is nice for making sure pets and kids don't fall out!
