Comments
Favorite feature:	275 HP Inline 6 Cyl.
Least favorite feature:	Front Seat Restaints
Advice to buyer:	Opt for package that includes Steering Wheel Controls
Detailed review:	I test drove both a 2002 (used 18,000 mi.), and the 2003, to see what differences in handling, power, etc. I could expect in a year or so. Both performed equally in all aspects. Some of the features are clumsy and ackwardly positioned ie: Front Seat (belts)Restraints, Cruise, Power Mirror Adjuster to name a few. But, Steering Wheel mounted feature would eliminate the Cruise aspect. I mainly do city driving and felt it was an un-needed expense. I've been a Ford TRUCK fan for years. But, the 275 HP Inline 6 was main selling point. All reviews I read had it besting Explorers V8. At about a $4000+ savings off base Explorer V8 package. And every lot I checked had several used Explorers sitting there. Thus hoping these factors would increase resale or trade-in value later down the road. I'm happy with ride and performance thus far, time will tell.
