Great car.

If you can find one. We bought this one used. It for a sale on a lot in 2020. We had it for 3 years this pass July 2023. We’ll keep it until it can no longer run. I’ve been all over in this car. Love it.

Reliable

I bought mine used in 2014 with 65k miles and now it has 225k miles, original engine, transmission, and battery. No issues. Still going strong.

Wish I had another one!

I owned one for 10 years and I did NOT have to do anything except normal Maintenace until the tenth year. The heater/air-conditioning had a problem, they took the whole thing out, had the vehicle for 3 days, and when I picked it up there were two bolts in the center consul, and I decided it was time to move on, so I traded it in with 10 or 20 thousand miles on it for a Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid. All the time I owned the 2009 Escape I was pleased with it.

Dependable

I have several escape hybrids and they all are very reliable. One 08 has issue with tie rod end but it was easy to replace. Toyota hybrid has lots of battery issues but escape hybrid battery is very reliable. Escape hybrid has the largest hybrid battery pack. It also uses AC to cool the battery that was why escape hybrid almost have no battery issue. Escape hybrid can last over half million miles with no major repair.

36mpg SUV. No brainer.

AWD is a headache forcmaintenance and repair cost. CVT transmissions are amazingimg efficient and easy to maintain. So, a Fwd fird escape hybrid was a nombrainer for our growing family. We get the clearance of a SUV, the cargo capacity pf a SUV, the look and features of a SUV but with the fuel economy if a 4cyl small car. 36mpg combined and we have a tow hitch, to boot. This is the smartest family car we could buy.

Move more space for less gas

This has been a beauty of a car to own and use. No major issues in 8 years, and it's still in great shape. This car will run another 10 years easily. Great on gas and lots of room. Clean, fun & efficient.
