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
-
LOL, the only thing I want to do to it is paint it pink... so its never given them any probs? Do you know what model they have? XLT perhaps? Thanx

it'll cost you the double in fuel
-
I know... I dont know if this is worth it... keeping my car could save me 100's of $ from gas but I fucken hate driving it. Its not even safe... ::)
-
if i was you i would keep the civic a couple years, put some cash in bank and buy a brand new explorer hybrid in 2-3 years. Stay the fuck away from used cars
-
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...
