"I wanted to try a 4WD hybrid but didn't want the cost of a new one. Found an '08 with 48K on it. It has been AMAZING. It's not as spunky as my sports car but can definitely move when you need it to. It handles nicely, even in snow or on black ice. I get 30.3 mpg most of the time. The interior is a little plain but the seat warmers are incredible and the moon roof is a nice option. The CD changer works well, although we aren't talking high-end sound. I am used to bigger vehicles for toting stuff around but so far have not been pinched by the space available inside. There is NOTHING about this vehicle that I would change. I would have zero qualms about buying another one - new or used."

"I have enjoyed driving the escape, I had to get use to not having a trunk butI now I am use to it. I am older and I have alittle trouble getting the back up and down but that is the only thing I can think of that is wrong with this car. It gets good gas mileage on the hiway, we have taken one trip in it and it was wonderful. We are leaving for a vacation soon and I am looking forward to the trip."

"Owned an Escape for 4 years and loved it. Had 60k miles on it and no issues. It got great gas mileage and was able to pull our trailer and jet skiis. It also drove in the snow great! We had to get rid of it to get more seating since it only seats 5."

"Have not yet tested this car (bought used) thru a New England Winter, but love the roomy interior and comfortable ride, except that it is a bit louder than I'd like. My main complaint is that the acceleration is below par; quite a surprise with a V6 engine!"

"I bought one used cert. with 2k miles, ran fine right untill I hit 71 k miles, the trasmission wouldnt go into reverse, and shifted badly and needs totally replaced. at 78 k miles the engine failed and needs replaced. I have done all the routine maintence one this vehicle and treated it like a baby, I am making payments for the next 4 years for garbage. Google the words ford escape problems and you'll see what garbage ford has truely put out there, they only hope you'll get through your warrenty period and then forget you! Tranny shops are full of escapes with the same terriable faulty transmissions and they have nothing but problems! If you buy/get one you better get the best extended longest warrenty money can buy because you'll need it! I would never in my life recommend ford to anyone, not my worst enemies, I want to warn all good people do not fall for the fancy commercials and marketing, they only want your money, but the old saying ford, fix it daily is TRUE! I'm sorry I ever bought this, as it has almost lead me to complete depression, and Ford could truely care less about you! We have 3 dealers in my area, and they are the worst, careless business, I cannot believe they've not been sued. Take your money elsewhere!!!! Do not buy a Ford!"

"I WAS UNDECIDED BETWEEN A TOYOTA TACOMA OR A FORD ESCAPE. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED HONDA'S SO THIS WAS A HARD STEP BUYING A FORD. I SEARCHED QUITE A LONG TIME TO GET ALL THE ACCESORIES TO FIT WITHIN MY BUDGET AND PURCHASED USED TO DO SO. I HAVE THE 2.3 ENGINE WHICH IS BETTER ON GAS MILEAGE AND ENOUGH POWER FOR MY NEEDS. THE SEAT COULD BE SOFTER FOR LONGER RIDES BUT FROM A TO B ITS WORKABLE. I DO NOT LIKE HAVING MANY COLORS IN THE INTERIOR-I'M GUESSING THEY GET A PART FROM HERE, GET A PART FROM THERE...."
