Got My Money's Worth - No regrets

By One (FL) on Wednesday, April 10, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 145,000

Pros: "Comfortable, low maintenance"

Cons: "Poor gas mileage"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"I bought this vehicle brand new and have had it for over ten years. Only minus is the poor gas mileage. It was very reliable - no major problems with it. Very comfortable for long distance road trips. Lots of storage room in the cab but still comfortable for backseat passengers. Great visibility too because of its height. If Ford would make something similar but with better gas mileage, I'd be first in line to buy it."

Owned for 12 years

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 67,000

Pros: "Great value; terrific snow car"

Cons: "Can be bouncy on rough roads; gas mileage"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I bought this car new in October 2000. It has been a terrific vehicle - no issues of any kind other than some rusting on the running boards and it is kind of a bouncy, squirrely ride at times. I've been considering selling it and buying a new car, but why? It's perfect for the dog with the back seats down, hauls a ton of stuff, and is a great snow car with the 4WD. Gas mileage is not so great, but for as little as I drive it, it's OK. If you can get one in good condition, snap it up!"
