Title: Ford explorer sport or Honda Civic?
Post by: Floydness on January 30, 2006, 07:13:07 PM
Hey guys... need a little car help. I have a 2004 Honda Civic and im sick of it. I want to sell it and buy a used Ford explorer sport. The thing is, I know so little about this car. I dont want to get fucked over with a car that needs repairing every monday and thursday so to speak. Do you guys know anything about the explorer sport. Any real advice would be appreaciated. Thanx :)

ford explorers are really good cars, my girlfriend and my cousin both have one, for a little SUV that 5.0 engine it has in it is a good one


if you plan on customizing it though it's going to be a pain cuz they don't make that many parts for em, and to repair them can be pricy i know, so if you wanna go that rout just stick with your rice rocket .  but do what you wanna do

Don't buy an SUV unless you're ok with the gas price and a larger tank to fill up.

Fuel capacity 22.5 gallons x $2.50(AVG) = $56.25

EPA est. mpg: 15 city/21 hwy  ;D


Just trade up to a CR-V.

dont buy crv, i mean, its a good car, but def not sexy..

being that you are a girl, get either an Rsx, toyota cellica, or a jetta (least reliable of the 3).. or just pimp out your civic, i WOULD NOT get hte ford, i hate american cars, its a gas guzzler, not reliable.

I don't really trust American cars as far as reliability.  Although I really wanna get a H2 lol.  I think Ford makes the best looking trucks, but from what I've heard, Toyota makes the best product.  4Runners seem to hold thier value pretty good.  I don't know tho, do whatever the fuck you want.  Go look at some consumer reports.

I agree, Civics will drive until the god damn wheels come off of it, I woudl do that and save for a new one - that way you know where it's coming from, you won't get sucked into expensive repairs...

I'm always weary of trading in something you know for a unknown used, though Explorers do hold their driving value well = last a long time.  More a question fo where your'e going to get it from I guess...
