2006 Ford Escape Hybrid 4dr SUV Review
ProsGreat gas milieage, nice handling, good acceleration, roomy. ConsThe feel of the powertrain and the regenerative brakes is a little awkward sometimes. The car is not sold in Italy, where I live.

Frugal Daily Driver — Since my other car was sporty, a gas guzzler, and not good to load cargo or to park up on curbs, or do anything other than go fast and look awesome, I needed something more practical to be a daily driver. The Ford Escape was one of the earlier vehicles to offer a hybrid powertrainl, and so it could be had on the used market cheapest. It is practical, gets awesome gas mileage, and actually handles quite nicely. And since the engine was designed to compete with the 6 cylinder model, it actually accelerates decently, too.

I Have Had No Major Problems With This Car, Its Easy To Drive For Shorter Persons — I like that the seats are high enough for a person of short stature can see over the hood. I am not the best driver in the world, but the car is still in very good shape. I fully enjoy this vehicle, and love that its a hybrid. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

I Will Seriously Consider Buying Another One In Five Or Six Years! — I've never taken it off-road, but the acceleraton, braking and handling are great for city and highway driving. Turns on a dime! I keep up the maintenance...no major repair issues with the Hybrid...now if I could avoid flat tires... Not too flashy inside or out, but easy on the eyes, especially when it's clean! I estimate the hybrid saves me about 25% on my yearly gas costs...I can get up to 31mpg during ideal conditions and regularly get 28 or 29mpg with everyday driving...sometimes a little less when it's really cold outside...I enjoy sitting up a little higher than traditional sedans...better view of the road and traffic. Love the heated seats and I can sit comfortably for long drives. It allso offers great hauling flexibility with fold-down rear seats...I've gotten TWO six foot bookcases in it at one time. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Great Vehicle — 4 wheel drive, And the computer adjust the power delivered to each tire over 200 times a second. Oh yea and they can put out up to 155hp which is better than the v6 escape that puts out 200 hp. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||
