1998 Ford Explorer Sport review from North America

Radio display went out at 42000 miles. (previous owner)

replaced tires and shocks at 68000 miles. (routine)

No other problems.

I love this car. It is very reliable and runs like a top. I had to replace the tires and shocks because of usual Michigan wear and tear. I was surprised at the performance level of the car when I bought it. It is very fast and could probably smoke a stock mustang v-6 off the line. The seats are comfortable and the cabin is very roomy for being a smaller SUV. I was also impressed with the optional stereo system that came with the premium package. I have, but one complaint-the radio display lights went out and go off and on sometimes. I don't want to take it to the dealer because ill probably get ripped off. Anyway, it isn't really a huge bother to me, and it doesn't affect the sound quality. For a powerhouse of an SUV it is, I can't really complain about the mileage-it comes with the territory. All in all, my Ford Explorer Sport is a great car so far with plenty off power and cargo room for my needs and when this one wears out, I would definitely consider buying another one -maybe a 4-door.
