Is the P 1,720,000 ticket price worth purchasing to get a piece of Philippine elitism?  The bottom line is—no.  If this is their idea of elitism, they can shove it up their behinds.  The Expedition is a vehicle that’s a great performer with lots of great faults.  Although it has great and plush ride, a comfortable interior and powerful engine; it is outweighed by the fact that the third row is unusable, it handles like a tractor on ice and it costs a bundle to maintain.  The Expedition is a toy for the rich and the famous—and with the faults I just mentioned, it is clear why they will stay that way.

motioncars.com would like to thank
