Ford Explorer 4.0 5d Auto (1997/P) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Great value for money as it is equipped with so many extras such as electric leather seats, CD autochanger and air conditioning.
Costs
Extremely thirsty but well worth it as it looks great!

On the road
Driving
Effortless driving with an excellent driving position that gives a good clear view of the road. Even possible to drive with right leg in plaster as the pedals are not too close together!
Performance
Considering it's size it has plenty of power and acceleration whilst still being very quiet.

Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down and always starts first time - just perfect.
Image
Looks great and definately turns heads as you do not see many on our roads.
Comfort
Fantastic on long hauls, just like being in your armchair. Greatly loved by Ben & Roxy - my two dogs!

Security and Service
Security
Standard immobiliser and very loud alarm. Remote locking can cause problems near high radio emmisions.
Service
Difficult to find a garage to service this vehicle apart from a main Ford dealer.
