Review: I've had my Escape XLS V6 for 7,000 miles now. It's a company car, so I don't necessarily bear the weight of sticker shock, but it also gives me an opportunity to view it in a neutral mindset.

Review: 2002 Ford Escape

I have always been a Chevy pick-up kind of guy. I like old Chevy 4X4 s. They come with a small block 350 and any back yard mechanic can work on them. However Their just not practical for a family vehicle...

Pros: Sporty look, drives well, good price, powerful v-6 engine for its class

Cons: Wind and highway noise at higher speeds, seats not the most comfortable, leather cheap

Pros: Nice clean look. Good acceleration. Good handling

Cons: Small gas tank. Gas mileage less than it should be. Rough ride.

Review: HOW IT ALL STARTED
We had finally decided to join the horde of people buying SUV's (having finally gotten out of the minvan phase of our family's life) and so we faced the big decision: a full sized SUV, or some sort of hybrid/small SUV? We'd...

Pros: drives like a car great small suv

Cons: cargo room

The Bottom Line: Great small SUV. If you want an SUV that drives like a car, this is it!

Review: I really wanted an SUV but wanted something that drove like a car. We already had a full size SUV so the search was on. I had considered the Mazada and Kia equivalent to the Escape but they do not compare at all. I found a 2002 Ford Escape XLT. It...
