Author's Review
Alright, so you're interested in buying a sport utility vehicle. Time to look around.
The Ford Explorer -- a great car. Size is not too big and not too small. Huge trunk size. Design is flawless; especially the 1996 model. Now, four door or two door? The difference in price is certainly one factor, but, let us look at the other factors.
My qualms about the two door:
The back seat passangers have very little room.
It's really no bigger than a regular car and gets ten times worse gas millege.
Basically, two door cars are just a big pain to deal with, from my standpoint.
Pay the extra cash for the four door. It's easier, nicer and just, overall, more convenient.
It makes driving enjoyable when everyone riding in the car is comfortable and happy.
If you are shopping around for sport utilities, also consider the Toyota 4Runner (my personal pick), the Niessan Pathfinder and, for a smaller variety, the Honda CRV (which, in actuality, is not small by any means -- I test drove one a few months ago and was extremely impressed with not only the size, but also all of the special features that come even on some of the most stripped down models).
Happy shopping and drive safely.
