2007 Ford Explorer Review: A Bad Year Buyers Should Avoid With Expensive Mechanical Problems

Alex Showalter

Jul 15, 2022

The 2007 Ford Explorer lasts around 150,000 to 200,000 miles transmission and engine issues. At $5,315 to $6,731 it’s cheap, but not worth it with the high ownership costs.

The Good

Suspension is smooth, there’s more interior space than many rivals and the transmission shifts well between gears.

The Bad

The steering feel is very heavy, they lose value quickly and even the V8 engine is relatively weak.

Is the 2007 Ford Explorer a Good Used SUV?

No, 2007 is a bad year for the Explorer. Owner reviews complain about a noisy cabin, expensive ownership costs, and difficulty parking in cities.
Interior materials are very cheap for the cost of the SUV with a lot of low-grade plastics and cloth, but the infotainment system was just updated.
Reliability ratings are below average. Avoid models from 2004-2007, and go with a 2009–2010 model with fewer issues.
Performance is poor from the V6, but a bit better with the upgraded V8.
The Explorer is reasonably safe, getting 4 out of 5 stars in government crash tests.
Fuel economy is poor, at only 16 MPG combined.

Positive Owner Reviews

Carol B

Only has 35,000 miles on it because we only use it to shop and go to church.

The big red machine. Takes up where we want to go and has space for lots of items when we go shopping.

Kevin M

The basics of how it works.

Drives and runs well. In great condition.

Mary M

07 Ford Explorer! Great, powerful, fun, and reliable. It is a great vehicle.

I do not have any problems. The performance it is great especially 4×4, heated seats, sunroof, and CD player. My Ford Explorer is very reliable. The heated seats are great for snowy weather. Sunroof is great for a date on a starry night. 4×4 is great for mudding and pulling vehicles and stuff like trees.

Tonya R

It's comfortable, stylish, sporty, family oriented.

I like the sporty style. I like the internal features. I like the color.

Yula W

I take care of my car like if it was one of my children. Don't sit in my car thinking that you can have your feet up in the seat treat it like you would treat your own child with care and love.

In my car I can sit 6 people in it not including myself, therefore it never limits me. I love my car it is very roomy. The one thing I can honestly say that I don't like about it is that it's a gas guzzler so, other than that I really do love my car.

Johnny G

Straight very nice 2007 Ford Explorer low mileage.

2007 Ford Explorer (1) owner with 80, 000 miles has had excellent 3, 000 mile oil changes and inspections, has sun roof and top cargo rails, body is straight has a few door dings. Has leather seats, driver's seat is electric/w electric mirrors/windows/doors. Seats (7) a must see.

Valerie P

SUVs are top heavy and in extreme winds it could roll.

No complaints, drives great, I love the 4 wheel drive. It performs well in mud and snow. It has a smooth quiet ride for an older car.

susan W

It's a compact truck, 4 doors, good for passengers, and big enough to haul the things I need to. Gas mileage is not the greatest, but it's better than having 2 vehicles

It big enough to haul small items which is about all I can handle anyway.

Negative Owner Reviews

Dominique D

It is better than people think - the value you get for the price is unmatchable.

I only like it because it is available for me to use when permitted by my roommate. I like it because it is an SUV to carry a lot of items. I do not like it because my roommate does not upkeep it. I do not like it because it consumes too much gas, which is expensive.

Candice A

Looks great inside and out, it is also roomy and comfortable.

The vehicle is a 3 row truck, very spacious if you have a lot of children. It is soft leather inside and very comfortable for long drives out of state. I have been having trouble with driving up hill with mine and Ford thinks it might be a recall on the truck. Until further notice do not quote me yet.

Taylor A

2007 Ford Explorer, old, loud, huge.

It's very old. It also looks like a bus, it is very hard to maneuver in parking lots or tight spaces. The air conditioning barely blows, it's extremely loud. The radio is very staticy if turned up too high. Overall it is the worst vehicle I have ever owned.

Jessica T

Don't buy a ford. It's my third ford and I've never had good luck.

Car was purchased used after our other vehicle was stolen. Within the first year of owning it we had to have transmission replaced. Currently check engine light is on for emissions. I will not purchase another ford.

Cassandra B

2007 Ford Explorer has 250k miles and still running smoothly.

The car is old, but still runs pretty well. A few things are a bit goofy about it, as I stated before, it is quite old. It has over 250k miles and just recently had the brakes fixed. The back door needs to be wrestled open and the oil was just changed. The car itself is a strong and reliable vehicle. The seats are cushioned rather than being leather. Speaker system is really nice however speakers in the back no longer work. The volume button is touchy. Heating and cooling still works inside. The car is not loud and it's easy to drive. The car is automatic. And uses a lot of gas. However, despite the negatives of this vehicle, it still is able to store quite a bit and haul quite a good amount of weight. It's a nice family friendly vehicle. I personally would rate it a 3.5 out of 5.

Miriam P

The amount of gas it uses and the dollar amount it cost

I dislike the amount of gas it uses. I like the way it has held up after all the mileage

Suzi W

I should have went with the dodge Dakota!

I had to more money into it before it is first payment. It is a gas guzzler, and the oil has to be changed more often than any other vehicle I have ever had. My rear locks have never worked. The cow catcher that came with it was ridiculously gaudy, and you bounce on every bump.

Luke Q

07 Eddie Bauer explorer overall.

The vehicle has been pretty maintenance free other that an recent coolant system replacement and alternator. The engine seems to be a little undersized and the towing capacity is not very good for a larger vehicle. The features are nice for a vehicle firm this time period, but that is not much.

What Do Critics Say About the Explorer?

Consumer Reports says the 2007 Explorer is behind the times, with lower owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the 2007 Explorer a 4.5/5 liking the passenger room, but disliking the weaker than average engines.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Explorer 4.3/5 and enjoy the high towing capacity, but don’t like how quickly it loses value.

What Common Problems Does the 2007 Ford Explorer Have?

The most common problems found on the 2007 Explorer include transmission failures, stalling engines, and leaking radiators.

Transmission failures are the most serious problem mentioned by owners at around 75,000 miles. Some owners rebuild the transmission for around $2,000, and others have replaced the entire unit costing over $3,500.

Stalling engines are another issue that shows up on a lot of Explorers at roughly 100,000 miles. The source of the problem is usually the throttle body, which costs around $1,000 to swap out.

Radiator leaks are another frequent complaint from owners in the first 70,000 miles. Replacing the radiator fixes the problem, but costs roughly $800 depending on local labor rates.

There are 3 recalls, with the most serious one covering the steering gear assembly, which increases the risk of an accident if it breaks.

How Long Will the 2007 Ford Explorer Last?

A well-maintained 2007 Ford Explorer should be able to last around 150,000 to 200,000 miles, which is 100,000 miles less than top competitors like the Chevy Tahoe. Regular annual maintenance costs are very high, according to Repair Pal, at $557 per year.

Most 2007 Explorer models will have over 100,000 miles, so buyers should be prepared to replace the timing chain tensioner for $1,000, the alternator costing $550, and the steering knuckle which costs $500.

Alex M

It is reliable. One of the only issues I've ran into with the vehicle is the sound system, the speakers are not the best. It is difficult to listen to music or even radio shows due to low quality.

Sharon F

As I stated in my last answer. I have had my air conditioning fixed and need to have my radiator looked at. But for a 12 year old car with over 97,000 miles on it. I feel it is very reliable.

James V

Yes the air conditioner is broken and is apparently 600 dollars to fix. So I will have to drive around this winter cold.

Caleb S

It has many problems, many parts in the engine and on board computer had to be replaced over the time I have owned the vehicle.

Janet O

It has been very reliable. Starts every time. A few years ago the battery keeps running down. Replaced it and it kept happening. Finally, it was discovered there was a short in the radio, which didn't interfere with using the radio. Once it was replaced, never have had a problem with the battery again.

Carol C

There is a tendency to have a lurching feeling at times. Am thinking there may be a transmission problem. Brakes have been repaired in its life twice. Feel this is normal wear and tear.

Krista H

The transmission solenoid is starting to go bad but the previous owner has put a lot of money and work into it and stated to me before I purchased it that it has been a good vehicle to her.

Erica D

It does have a problem with the engine, but I know what needs to be replaced. I just do not have the funds now but great car for the miles and year it is.

How Much Is the 2007 Ford Explorer Worth?

Blue book values range from $5,315 to $6,731, which makes the Explorer thousands cheaper than a Toyota Sequoia or Chevy Suburban. When new, the price range was $25,370 to $35,365. Depreciation is similar to other SUVs, losing about 10% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Explorer?

There are three models of the 2007 Explorer available. The stereo system was just updated for 2007, with an optional SYNC infotainment system added in 2008.

XLT is the entry-level model with:

16-Inch Alloy Wheels
Cloth Seating
Cruise Control
AM/FM/CD Stereo System With 3.5mm AUX Input

What Engines Come In the Explorer?

The base engine is a weak 4.0L V6 which makes 210 horsepower and gets up to 16 MPG combined.
An available upgrade is the average 4.6L V8, which offers 292 horsepower and also gets up to 16 MPG combined. The towing capacity is great at up to 7,300 pounds with this engine.

What Colors Does the Explorer Come In?

How Big Is the Explorer?

The 2007 Ford Explorer is larger than most midsize SUVs like the Toyota Highlander, but smaller than some of the full size rivals including the Ford Expedition, placing it in a class of its own. Passenger room is great throughout the cabin, but the third row is a bit small for adults.

Cargo space is similar to full size SUVs with 13.6 cubic feet of room behind the third row, 45.1 cubic feet behind the second, and up to 85.8 cubic feet with the seats folded flat. There’s enough room for 6 people and their luggage.

How Does the Explorer Compare to the Competition?

The Chevy Tahoe is a rival costing about $3,000 more. The passenger space is a bit better in the Tahoe, but the Explorer has a higher towing capacity with the V8. We recommend the Tahoe since there are fewer complaints for the 2007 model year, but it’s closer in other years.

The Honda Pilot is another competitor, which is around $1,500 more. Technology is more up-to-date in the Pilot, but the Explorer offers more cargo room. We recommend going with the Pilot since they last much longer and have lower ownership costs.

Do Owners Recommend the Ford Explorer?

Alex M

Yes, other than the sound system, the features of the vehicle are good. It is also really great for all seasons and is nice to have for the winter as it works well even in the snow.

Sharon F

Yes, I have had no major problems with it. I had to fix the air conditioning and I believe I have a radiator issue. I will be bringing it to the dealership to look at it. I feel these issues are not bad for over 97,000 miles.

James V

Yes I love it, however it is not gas efficient. I also wish I had got the Eddie Bauer edition because it adds a touch of luxury.

Caleb S

It is not a very reliable vehicle, the transmission had to be replaced 4 years after owning it along with other smaller parts such as the starter.

Janet O

It has been the best, most reliable vehicle. Has almost 200,000 miles on it. The only issue is the speed control stopped working a few months ago. Everything has been changed including the buttons and it still will not work. Other than that, it is perfect.

Carol C

It has been exceptional so far. No major problems or repairs. Brakes have needed repair, but within the normal realm of expectation.

Krista H

I just recently purchased it due to totalling my other vehicle but it has been a good vehicle until recently it has started having transmission issues.

Mike T

Yes, it an older model, but in good condition. I have had the vehicle for two years, with standard maintenance it runs great

A Reliable work horse

I bought my 2007 V8 4 x 4 Ford Explorer in 2014 with 80,000 miles on it. I have 170,000 miles on it and all I have to say is that it’s been a great truck have never had any major issues other than regular maintenance like replacing radiator hoses, the serpentine belt, tires, brakes, regular engine oil change every 4000 miles transmission oil change every 40,000 miles. Front wheel hub at 95,000 and again at 165,000 miles . Love the 3 row seating, roof rack, front and rear air conditioners,very durable leather interior, safety features and the comfortable ride this truck delivers.

Gerald C on March 22, 2021

It is mine and it is beautiful and comfortable with leg room

Big enough to fit people comfortable. A lot of legroom. Don't like that air doesn't work.

Melissa A on March 15, 2021

Research may be required to get around money racket fords.

Even though this is an older model Ford Explorer, it has been reliable. The most major thing we have had to replace has been the radiator. The biggest problem with that was figuring out how to attach a hose to the radiator. Ford required a special tool to do it. Ford does this kind of thing a lot to make people think they can't fix it on their own, have to take it to a mechanic where you have to pay someone else to fix it. Just a money racket by a greedy company!

Barbara K on March 8, 2021

The car has enough room for 8 adults to sit comfortably.

The car is easy to drive comfortable and has been free of issues. The only complaint is the override that occurs when we back up a hill.

Filip B on March 4, 2021

2007 Ford Explorer Sports Trac Review

Overall, my vehicle has performed well. However, lately despite performing regular maintenance I have had multiple issues with my radiator and radiator hoses. I have had my car engine overheat on me several times despite having proper mai gent performed.

Richard S on March 1, 2021

The four door camping truck

My vehicle is very reliable and comfortable. It's a four door, gray in color with a luggage rack on the roof. It has cruise control, power brakes and air conditioning works very well and needed badly living in Florida. Very comfortable for camping as all items can be stored in bed.

daniel c on February 17, 2021

It is a ford and that is all that's needed to say. They only car manufacturer i will buy

Love the room, horsepower, driveability. Comfortable seating for all. Fuel economy is decent for the type of vehicle, no complaints

Stefanie R on February 10, 2021

Our Ford Explorer has been great for our road tripping family.

I love that my Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition (with 7 seats) is big enough for the whole family plus any out of town guests we might have. Living on the other side of the country from family and friends, we often do have guests and it is nice to be able to take one vehicle to go out and about. The DVD player has been a life saver for to keep the kids occupied on long road trips, and even shorter ones too.

Logan A on February 6, 2021

07 Ford Explorer sport review.

I really like my vehicle for something to have to drive, but it is not the most reliable. It is an old car and drives like an old car so it makes getting around a lot harder. I also drive a 2 door vehicle, and with the nanny I did and driving siblings to and from school, sports, and activities, the size of the car is not ideal. Comfort is my favorite thing about the car. It is not small at all and the backseat and trunk are huge, which is nice when needed. It does not drive as smooth as I had hoped for so you can feel every bump in the road. Gas is always cheap for me and I really do love my car, but it is good for a first time car, not an everyday car.

Ashley L on January 31, 2021

Comfort & Function meets Sleek & Bold

I love my explorer, it is very reliable, functional, and comfortable for my family and extended family. The kids love to be able to control their own A/C and watch DVD's in the back. I love how my explorer sounds and looks, powerful but sleek and bold.

Sarah H on January 28, 2021

Its reliable. I never have to worry about breaking down.

I have 3 active boys and the room in our explorer is perfect. We sometimes travel out of state for games and are able to fit everything we need and be comfortable. With kids comes friends and it's nice being able to bring their friends with us places. I also have 2 dogs that the rear seat fold down to accommodate them. Plan on buying another one in the near future.

Dominique S on January 25, 2021

Very strong and powerful car. It will last for a while.

I like my car because it is very big which makes me feel safe and allows me to drive a lot of people. I dislike my car because its a gas guzzler and gets empty very quickly.

Andrea O on January 16, 2021

That is a reasonable family car.

I really have not had any major problems with it while I have had it. I have had to charge the spark plug, and other routine maintained. It is comfortable to ride in, we have drove it from pa to oh, several times since we brought it. I love that it has 4 wheel drive, it has everything that we wanted and still needed at the time that we brought. I love the power seats that it has easy in/out where the driver seat moves back and forth. How the rearview mirror darkens when there is a car behind you at night, so their lights are not shining in your eyes while you are driving. I love it!!

Michael C on January 13, 2021

With it's low, mid, and hi 4x4 settings and it's V8 engine plus the ground clearance this SUV can drive through a winter storm or a mud hole with little louse.

I like that it gets great gas mileage driving highway speeds. It's great for winter weather driving; plus it's V8 engine gives me the power when I need it. On the flip side it's a gas hog when in stop & go traffic. It doesn't have the room you'd expect to get in an explorer. The interior design is a little wonky.

Anne G on January 12, 2021

It is great for transporting big loads and good in the winter.

For me it is too big. I like how it had 4 wheel drive but the air conditioner needs to be recharged every spring. I do like the third row seating and having the option of folding it down. We're able to transport everything for my husband's business in the back. It does use a lot of gas however.

matt c on January 7, 2021

My truck is great, not sure what u mean??

I like the truck alot for the price i got it for, comfort is great. It drives great, the front end id the only problem i had on it.

Billy R on January 5, 2021

Gas aver and ac blow good.

They both good running cars on got more room and other on is a gas saver I love them both they was giving to you for a gift I would give either one if them up.

Hannah W on December 28, 2020

The trunk is so big. It really comes in handy when traveling.

I don't really have any problems with my car. I love the way it drives and how smooth it feels on the road. I also like how many seats there are and how much room is in the car.

Lisa F on December 26, 2020

Blue oval love' . I absolutely love every ford that I have owned since 1978.

I really like the 4.0 v6 as it has plenty of horsepower and performs great with the towing package and a capacity up to 3500 pounds. The 4x4 handles great in the rain and snow. The Eddie Bauer edition includes leather heated seats and in the cold Minnesota winters that is a very nice feature.

Karina L on December 16, 2020

You can fit a lot in the back of it.

It's a good, safe car. It allows me to feel safe on the road especially when I'm driving my son. The gas mileage isn't the greatest.

Tina F on December 6, 2020

6 passengers comfortably. Storage for tools & containers.

At first it was a really good car. I have always kept my car maintenance up but in the past year there has been more issues. The parts for my car is really expensive. Of all the cars I have owned this one has been the most expensive for parts. I have had to replace all the sensors in all 4 tires. The links that attach to the arms of the tires. The thermostat for the heater I have replaced twice this year.

Janna H on December 5, 2020

Ford Explorer great for Minnesota

The car is wonderful for the snow in Minnesota. Great cargo space for traveling to the lake, or to events.

Andrew R on November 28, 2020

Don't jump to conclusions always double check the car dealers

It gets me around but my rack and pinion keep going out and the censors plus brakes but other than that it's a good SUV to have and it wasn't a lot to own but I see why when I got it off the lot not even 6 months later the transmission went out but that was on the dealer

Jeffrey J on November 24, 2020

That it has 4 wheel driver and that there is a decent amount of storage space.

I like that it is has 4 wheel drive and that it has room for me. I am 6'6 and weigh 300lbs. There also plenty of room to store stuff in the back. What I dislike are the occasional overheating episodes I deal with.

Dawn J on November 24, 2020

The best family vehicle on the market!

It's a very reliable vehicle that me and my family love. Spacious up front and in the back, a great family vehicle. It's comfortable and its never let me down!

Jacob W on November 22, 2020

My Ford Explorer has been the perfect car for me

The electricity started to go but I have had the car for a long time not. Probably just time to get it replaced. The sound system in the car has always been fantastic. There's an aux cord outlet and an area to plug in a car charger. It seats 8 people which has always been really helpful with driving my friends and my siblings friends.

Deb C on November 21, 2020

Rides great and it's comfortable for 4 or more people

It is comfortable, roomy, great for long trips and comfortable fits a group the only drawback is the miles per gallon for gas

Max B on November 9, 2020

It is not the most fuel efficient, but it requires low maintenance.

It is great for carrying bigger items like suitcases, hardware, ladders, but it is too big for just driving around the town without cargo.

Amanda B on November 8, 2020

It is a six passenger SUV and good with gas mileage.

I like that it fits all of my family and it is easy to drive. I also like that it is good on gas. I dislike that fact that it is old and does not have enough trunk space.

Carol C on November 7, 2020

I believe it to be very safe.

Comfortable, seat adjusts perfectly for my back. It is, roomy and has been reliable. Do not like the low mileage per gallon.

Bernadette M on November 7, 2020

Ford Explorer reviews of a everyday user, not a soccer mom.

I like the ability to see when sitting higher, the windows are large enough to see from. I also like the turning radius, the Explorer turns like a car, fantastic for tight spots. If enough storage space in the back. The ever back seat is a little hard for large people to sit there.

Josh C on November 2, 2020

Reliable and dependable. No problems ever

Never had any problems Ford Explorer has been reliable form day one. It's been through hell and back. Great SUV. Still drives as good as it did in 2007. Love my car and would recommend to anyone looking in the market today. Would consider buying a new Ford Explorer

James R on October 16, 2020

Good girls truck. It is to wimpy for real work.

The truck is too small. Performance is good. Reliability has been outstanding. Comfort is very good. It would be fine for a suburban setting. I do not like government mandated electronics at all. Computers have ruined cars and trucks. The fuel mileage is fine but not an issue to me.

Liv M on October 16, 2020

Spacious, leather seats and a lot of trunk room.

Overall the vehicle has been good. It was previously owned so it had a few rust spots here and there. The car runs smoothly and the only downside is a little gas does not get you that far. Other than that, I recommend it for someone who needs a car on short notice.

Gina B on October 8, 2020

It's good with highway miles. If you take care of it, it will take care of you.

I like that it is roomy inside, rides smooth and is great on gas during our frequent road trips

Teresa B on September 28, 2020

It drives well when traveling long distances!

Love the easy parking when shopping! Love the ability to put on movies when I have the grandchildren! No dislikes!

Sharon L on September 26, 2020

Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition SUV

Iij love my Explorer because it is higher than a car, making it easier to get in and out of. I like that it can seat 6 with 2 third row seats that can be put up in the back, but in my vehicle the motors to put those seats up don't work so that is frustrating. Also the gas mileage is not that great because it is a v8.

Joseph M on September 14, 2020

Ford vehicles, and how dependable they are.

Everything runs good on the truck, I keep my oil changed regularly. No major issues with the truck. If I had to get another ford vehicle I definitely would. They are very dependable truck/cars. Many people in my family owns a ford vehicle. I am looking forward to getting a newer model.

Gayle K on September 8, 2020

Car is reliable, roomy, everything that was said before.

Has been a really good vehicle. Reliable, great pickup, , decent on gas, has 3rd row seats, roomy, heated seats, heater/air in back, 2 way sunroof, dual temperature controls, auto lights. Would buy another one.

Sabrina M on September 8, 2020

It has a touch screen radio with Bluetooth, a navigation system, and a sunroof.

This car is very nice because it is a three row seater and has plenty of space, especially if you are like my fiancé and I because we travel. For example, the one we have has a touch screen radio with Bluetooth and a navigation system, along with power windows, power door locks, and a sunroof. It is definitely a family friendly vehicle.

Blanche S on September 7, 2020

My car is paid for and generally gets me where I am going.

I like that is it is paid for. I like that is it is a SUV. I like that it has a 3rd row seat.. I do not like that is it is old. I do not like that it has over 122,000 miles. I do not like that it has needed expensive repairs.

Robin M on September 7, 2020

It's a great family vehicle.

Its roomy. There is a fold down 3rd row seating. I like the feature of knowing if the tires are low and also letting me know when the gas gets low with how many miles left.

Mary H on September 2, 2020

Ford Explorer excellent performance.

Very good performance, very comfortable seats, like sitting up high for good views, handles well, good turning radius, we drive mountain roads so brakes are important and they perform well and have not had to replace, we had to replace the radiator due to a. Leak. We have just over 100, 000 miles and performance has been great. We have it serviced regularly. The paint job has performed well and it remains shiny with good cleaning and waxing. The ride is very good, but bumps are a bit more noticeable compared to the Lincoln. The interior has held up well. We like the ease of operating the seats. It has lots of room to haul things. Recently, we hauled a fireplace mantel which was 100 inches- no problem! All in all it has been an excellent car for us.

Angela R on September 2, 2020

It's 4 wheel drive, and has 3rd row seating. No complaints.

I like the way it handles. The room it has. I like the options it has.

Lisa W on August 31, 2020

Ford Explorer Sport Trac is amazing

My vehicle is an Explorer Sport-Trac, and unfortunately, they do not make them anymore. This is the second one that I've owned and I am keeping it because I can't find anything I like better. If you can find a used one, consider trying it out.

Amy C on August 29, 2020

How much leg room and head room and comfortable it is.

Four people can fit comfortably in the truck. Has a lot of head room. Radio doesn't work the way it should

Jamie H on August 21, 2020

It is very spacious! I can fit my kids, all our stuff, and a giant double stroller if needed.

I love that it's safe and provides enough room for my family. It's gets relatively good gas mileage for a vehicle of its size, and I think it's a good looking vehicle.

Suzi W on August 21, 2020

I should have went with the dodge Dakota!

Rae B on August 21, 2020

It has a keyless remote so that you will never ever lock yourself out.

I love my sport trac! There is nothing I dislike about it. If I could change anything, I would make sure it had an auxiliary port.

Great for adventures and going on road trips with friends

This is a great car. I have lots of positive things to say about it. Great for road trips and off roading. Only bad thing is that it's not great on gas mileage.

The left window sometimes does not work.

I like the space of the front of the car. I do not like that there is not much room in the back. I do not like that the car does not cool down quick.
