2002 Ford Explorer - Good car, bad gas mileage.
This car is fairly good. I've had it personally for at least 5 years, where it was passed down to me from my family and before that it was bought used. I've never had it break down and only once in those 5 years did I have to jump start it. Accidentally left the lights on. One thing that is important to note and which is why I would not buy it again is gas mileage. I get about 11-13 miles to the gallon, which is on the very low side compared to most cars on the market today. The A/C and radio have worked for years and have not needed replacement, which is a plus. I do however feel like I'm on the verge of a major electrical problem, as lights are not turning off when the car is turned off, and occasionally I have issues with the dash lights. The electrical outlets went out about 5 mont... (more)
Story
My fiancé and I took this car with us to Death Valley and it trucked with us out near the dunes and onto the back roads of the painted valleys. We were able to trust this car wouldn't break down in the desert.
Pros
Long lasting. Doesn't break down. Good on hills. Powers through those tough back roads.
Cons
Horrible gas mileage. Feels like the gas estimator is off most of the time. Hard to change oil filter on your own (difficult location). Expensive to repair.
1997 Ford Explorer - Best car I ever owned
Personally I believe the car was made with quality materials, I haven't had any problems with the car since I bought it in 2014 I bought it for $3000 cash payment I think it was a reasonable price for the quality of the car and
in all honesty I would make the purchase again because its a great used car for the price I bought it for also I think its great for going camping in because of the storage rack on top.
Story
I remember driving this car to lake pyro in California and it was a great experience because we were able to fit everything on top of the roof because it had a rack on top[ so we were able to have room inside the car
Pros
PROS:
is made with quality materials
price was reasonable
the interior looks and feels pretty high quality
have driven over 80,000 miles and it still runs smooth like the day I got it
it has a v8 engine
Cons
CONS:
the interior of the car particularly the seats are made of pleather so when its a hot day you sweat a lot from the seat witch is really gross
it is a gas guzzler so it costs more to drive then another car
also the exterior has been in an accident before so it does have some cosmetic issues like the bumper being cracked and one of the covers for the headlight was destroyed so I had to buy a new one
