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...

Awesome car, Definitely your money's worth

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2005
Review: SUV handles great! I bought this vehicle wanting something that was a little higher off the ground since it seems like everyone else in TX is, and also for the room. Rides great!

I have the 2005 Escape XLT Automatic 3.0L V6.

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...

A really good car!

Date of Review:  Sep 21, 2004
Review: I wanted to get a dependable car for bad weather since I was getting a new job and increasing my commute time to 40 minutes. I checked out some of the other SUV's on the market but something about the Ford Escape kept drawing me back to it.

Zippy 4 Cylinder ~ Don't Get (or keep) the Cloth Seats

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: It will be a good fit for some - maybe too small for some. Avoid the cloth seats!
Review: I traded in my 2000 Ford Ranger V-6 manual transmission for a new 2005 Ford Escape 4 cylinder automatic. (Just so you have an idea of where I'm coming from.)

My biggest concern was that the Escape would not be zippy enough, especially...

LOVE IT

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2005
Review: Traded my 2003 Explorer Sprt XLT 2WD for my 2005 Escape Limited 4x4. I've had it for 5 months now and put 13,000 miles including a 1500 mile trip from Virginia (where I bought it) to Texas (where I live). I LOVE the ride. It handles MUCH better than...

2005 Ford Escape Limited

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2004
The Bottom Line: The Escape's combination of comfort, handling, utility, and substantial feel still make it the top choice in the small SUV category.
Review: My 2002 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer's lease was going to be up soon, and my Ford dealer was after me to trade it in early. With gas prices soaring in June of 2004, I thought it would be a good time to look around at other SUVs and SUV-type vehicles. I...

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...

Pleasantly Surprised and Happy With Escape XLT, A Woman's Opinion

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Best Buy for the money. Not too big and not to small. Sharp but practical. Look forward to driving it!
Review: I am not as skilled as some people as it pertains to general auto knowledge, but I believe I have some important things to note when shopping for your next SUV if you are considering the Escape.

As a single woman I always drove a Mustang...
