2003 Ford Escape review
M brother bought a 03 7 years ago- he just upgraded for something a little bigger. But this escape is my starter car now! It needs some frame and body work. But mechanically it’s been very reliable! It’s got 215k miles and still going g strong. And my brother beat the CRAP out of this escape.he never maintained well and he drove like an idiot.only problems we’ve had is the power steering pump and alternator hood g bad but being a 20 year old car stuff like that is gonna happen. Very comfortable,very reliable and it’s a nice looking car!

2003 Ford Escape review
My experience with this 2003 Ford Escape XLS 3.0 L has been very faithful to me until now. I only have 127,000 miles on this vehicle. This vehicle were given to me as a gift from my mom. Now I am having trouble with my catalytic converters and O2 sensors and O1 sensors and the EVAP, HRT, EGR. Can somebody help me.

2003 Ford Escape review
I bought this car used with 170,000 miles on it. I needed a car to drive out to the desert to visit family, and for short rides to school and back. The previous owner did not take car of it at all but I still bought it for $1.2k. I decided to give the car a second chance, I replaced the transmission, a bunch of hoses that were feeling rough, changed all the fluids bc the previous owner never did any work to it. The car was fine before, but after putting in fresh stuff it was 100x better. I'm currently at 250,000 miles and shes still going strong. This car is super comfortable and easy to handle. I've taken road trips and never had any issues. At some point I had an oil leak I wasnt aware of and had only about a quart and a half left (out of the 5.5 that's needed)but she kept going. It had been in a few accidents before I bought it, and then a few more with me, and she can take a hit. Theres plenty of room under the hood for DIY repairs. Super easy to work on and as a college student, most the parts have been mostly affordable, so that a plus for the wallet. This car has good power in the engine as well, picks up speed without a fight. Can easily fly 110mph out in desert freeways and again, handles nicely. Given the proper car from the start this car could probably last a lifetime, definitely gonna pass her down to younger siblings.
