Escape 2005 - Stronger, Sleeker and Quieter

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: Definitely worth a look for min-SUV seekers. probably not #1 in any single attribute , but a good all-round solid vehicle.
Review: The Top Line

I've been driving a 2001 Escape for the last couple of years – and I love it. Of course, there are a few things about the vehicle that can drive you crazy – more later. Last year I rented a 2003 model and noticed a lot of...

Great TALL Family Vehicle

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2009
The Bottom Line: Chances are you'll find a lot to like about a 2005 Ford Escape ... especially if you're a very TALL driver.
Review: It's My All-time Favorite

Yep, as wife of a very TALL man, I've tried a bunch of vehicles ... Jeep, Explorer, Tahoe, Ram, Silverado, even ragtops ... and this compact XLT SUV has given us THE maximum in interior space and visibility along...

With the competition stronger than ever, are the revisions for 2005 enough?

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: The least car-like of compact car-based SUVs, and I wouldn't want it any other way. What you see is what you get.
Review: Others entered the car-based SUV earlier, but Ford made the biggest splash when it introduced the Escape in the 2001 model year. The Escape seemed to have it all: the appearance of a real SUV, a V6 to give it the grunt of a real SUV, a spacious...

Amazing How Little 30 Grand Will Get You Nowadays

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: As a city car for daily commuting, it might work. For anything else, it's overpriced and under-contented.
Review: Ah, the joys of company cars. Currently in a 2004 Altima that I'm loving, the time is coming where I'll be able to pick a new car for work. The contenders? The aforementioned Altima S-Extra (this time a 2005), the Ford Five Hundred SE, the Ford...

2005 Ford Escape Hybrid

Date of Review:  Feb 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: Recommended based on 4-month/6,000 km driving experience to date. Excellent performance and mileage for an SUV; stealth (electric-only) mode is wonderful and meets/exceeds Ford's advertised performance.
Review: We looked at the Civic & Prius hybrids prior to the Ford Escape Hybrid (FEH) arriving and decided to wait. Finally got the chance to place our order at the start of July 2004 at Coastal Ford in Vancouver, B.C. -- selected an AWD in Titanium Green...

2005 Ford Escape Hybrid - WONDERFUL!!!

Date of Review:  Jun 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: Absolutely buy this car if you want a combination of great gas mileage and SUV capability and size. This car is fantastic!
Review: My first impression of this car was that it was so CUTE!!! When I told my husband this, he was not amused :) While on deployment, he ordered this car, sight unseen, from the Overseas Military Sales Corporation. He chose the Escape Hybrid because it...

2004 Good....2005 Bettter!

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: We thought all SUVs were evil until we met the Escape, now we know that some SUVs are of a good useful size without having to be environmental nightmares.
Review: We purchased our XLT Escape at Galpin Ford in Los Angeles through a friend at the dealer and got the car for $200 over dealer cost + 3.9% financing. We didn't have to do the wheeling and dealing either just said hi and he showed us the computer...

Cheap Build

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: Don't buy it. The questionable transmission is reason enough to stay away.
Review: I have a 2005 Escape XLS with a 4 cyl with about 2000 miles on it. I am not pleased with the over quality of this SUV.
The entire dash is plastic, thin plastic. The shifter is made of plastic and the silver back is plastic and it's hollow. I...

Great Little SUV

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: Test drive everything in this class that youll consider then go drive an Escape. I think youll wind up picking one just like I did.
Review: I first drove the Ford Escape when my company gave me a 6-Cyl XLS Popular version in the Spring of 2003. When I changed jobs and handed back the keys, I swore that when I was looking for another vehicle I would consider the Escape. Funny how things...

Versatile and fun to drive, I'll definitely be buying this one off lease!

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2004
The Bottom Line: I would lease this vehicle again in a heartbeat and definitely plan to buy it off lease. It is trouble-free, fun to drive, and offers outstanding value.
Review: In 1994 I bought a new Explorer and loved it so much I hated to give it up. Even though it was almost 11 years old I still liked it at least as much as anything new plus it was paid for. Enter an awesome lease deal on a 2005 Escape, and it was...
