Snow? No Problem!

I purchased my 2004 Ford Escape in August of 2007.  I've never regreted that purchase!  I traded in my Chevy Venture extended van.  I wanted something smaller, but still wanted to have the cargo room.  I've not missed my extended van once.  I've hauled an interior door from Lowes, packed up a family of 5 to head to Myrtle Beach for a week, and brought home 2 weeks worth of groceries with plenty of room in my Escape!  The seats lay flat to create more room for hauling.  I love not having to remove the seats like I did in my van!  When I compared the cargo room to the similar Honda CRV the Ford Escape had more cargo room.

My most favorite part of my Ford Escape is it's ability to drive through the snow!  I HATE to drive on the snow!!  I've always been scared to death to drive on snow covered roads. After my first winter with my Escape I knew I'd never drive anything else.  My Escape has 4 wheel drive and it is just awesome in the snow!!  At one point I was going around a curve and could feel the SUV start to slide and instantly I felt the 4 WD kick in and the slide stopped immediately!!  I'm not so scared any more to drive in the snow!

The gas mileage I guess could be better, but for an SUV I don't think it is too bad.  The gas tank though is small, and I do find myself stopping at the gas station more often.

I strongly recommend my 2004 Ford Escape to anyone looking for something with cargo room, good on winter roads, and a nice stylish look.
