I love my ST all except for seating.
I love my ST all except for seating. I’m just not a fan of European style seating soo we had an upholstery shop up grade them. Sooo much fun to drive! Great gas mileage considering I’m a lead foot. And when needed you can put a full 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back.

I often drive to the Michigan upper pennisula in the winter. This SUV has never disappointed me. One time I was driving up to Sault Ste Marie early in the morning. The road was slippery with blowing snow. The outside air temp was MINUS 41. i was alone with hardly ever seeing another vehicle. I kept thinking "trust this vehicle" because my life literally depended on it. I had no problems. And everything was on high - the defroster, rear defrost, heated steering wheel, heated seat, radio and keeping my phone charger plugged in. And in case you wonder why I would venture out in these conditions - I was called for jury duty and made it on time !! It has also gotten me out of deep snow.

I came in and was seen at my appointment time. I was impressed with the video that showed my car during the maintenance process. I was also happy to see what the 52 checkpoints were, and that my vehicle passed everything. Customer service was top notch. My overall experience was a happy one.
Explorer GREAT design!
The ford explorer is an outstanding suv. The new design in 2020 is stylish and the rear wheel drive/4 wheel drive option is state of the art. The ecoboost engines are economical and extremely powerful. Ford dealers are everywhere! Ford parts are common and easy to obtain! I looked at the competitors. Front wheel drive is not suitable for trucks in my opinion. The handling of a rear wheel drive vehicle is outstanding. I actually have a 2022 platinum with the 3.0 v6 and this 2021 base with the 2.3 4 cylinder. Happy with each!!!

Great experience with this dealership.
Great experience with this dealership. My sales agent Zach K made the whole process very easy. Very knowledgeable and always on top of getting back to me in a timely manner.
love the Ride
First time Explorer owner, had an Expedition that I loved but it was too high for my wife, so it went to our son. The Explorer Limited is lower, but still higher than a crossover or sedan which helps my visability. Love the electronics but concerned that they will have problems later on so I purchased a dealer extended warranty (bumper to bumper) that is 10 years 125,000 additional miles for piece of mind. Car drives like a dream, is VERY comfortable, has more than enough power even with the 4cyl (used to V8's). Gas mileage even with 4WD is great (23 city and almost 29 highway) not climbing hills. We will see how it does when we go north.

Buying a new car can sometimes be stressful and hectic.
Buying a new car can sometimes be stressful and hectic. However, at Jim Ellis Mazda Marietta, you'll enjoy professionalism, honesty, and a pleasant experience from the moment you walk through its doors. Sales Representative, Noel Bernard provided me with a professional and pleasant experience that exceeded my expectations. The impression you receive from him is one of great personality, he is extremely knowledgeable, and he takes the time to ensure that your experience is one you will never forget. Noel was always available to speak with me, and when he was not available, he would always call me back within an hour. I was impressed by how attentive Noel was to the details of the vehicle I purchased, down to the smallest of details. As a company that provides high levels of quality and excellence, Jim Ellis Mazda Marietta stands out from the competition. Having won the prestigious Mazda President's Club in 2023, you owe it to yourself to enjoy a luxurious experience with them.

Well scheduled appointment.
Well scheduled appointment. Easy to change online if needed. Everything went as planned. Very nice waiting room with tv's, restrooms, and drink station (best I've ever seen for an automotive service). Mark Tye did a great job of keeping me informed and explained the details of the work done very well. I will be returning to Toyota Hernando for future service needs. Was impressed with the whole experience.
