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.

The Explorer is a good car overall. However, as it gets older, it seems like there is always a problem under the hood. I do not like that the interior. It is literally falling apart along with some accessories. I love that it has been big and taller than sedans; it makes me feel a little bigger on the road too. I also love that it has so much space and can drive in ruff conditions.

Story

My favorite fun memory with this vehicle I remember is driving to the lake to go fishing and then getting ice cream with my family on a hot summer day.

Pros

My favorite features are that it makes me feel tall and intimidating to other drivers, like they will think twice about cutting me off. I also love that the third- and second-row seats collapse if needed for extra room.

Cons

Negative things in my opinion are that the interior is held up by thumb tacks after only six years, the CD player quit working out of the blue about four years ago, and the windows quit working (again out of the blue) about two years ago. Everything except the interior was able to be fixed, but like I said, it just seems like one thing after another with this car, especially under the hood. First it was the timing belt, then a few months later it was the radiator and the thermostat housing, then it was the A/C leak...
