ProsAWD system, cargo space, and dependability. ConsEngine power, mileage, back seat room and air flow.

A Dependable Car — It lacks desired horsepower, but makes up for it with its spectacular AWD system. It is probably the most bad weather dependable car my family has ever driven. It can take the worst winter road conditions and plow through them without missing a beat. It has ample room in the back end for luggage, and plenty of leg room in the front seats. The back seat lacks much leg room, and is not very comfortable for extended road trips. Its gas mileage leaves much to be desired as well as its engine power. The Escape, like almost all small SUV's in its class, lacks proper ventilation for the back seats. It is either freezing cold or boiling hot in the back while the front seat passengers must either freeze or burn up in order to get the air movement necessary to maintain comfortable temperatures in the back. It doesn't have the best sound system, but it doesn't lack quality. Overall, it is a good car if you need to go anywhere or get through anything. As a practical family car, or as a around the city car, it is not the best choice, but on those snowy and stormy days you'll be glad you have it.

Pros0-60, easy revving engine, and ability to activate fog lights with parking lights. ConsLong gears, which leads to slower acceleration, handling, noisy tires, loss of power above 75 mph when put to the floor.

An All-around, Quick And Durable Suv, Perfect For College! — The exterior is very clean, with little excess crap to take away from it. The only downside is the tall plastic cladding on the bumpers and sides of the vehicle. The interior is also clean, with cloth seats. The dash is kind of tacky, made of plastic. The visibility is average SUV, with typical blind spots, though they are not too large. Performance wise, this is a quick SUV for it's class. Under 10 seconds to 60 and well spirited enough for passing. Handling is only average. This is due to the fact that it IS an SUV, but the Continental tires are noisy around corners, love to squeal, and are just not that great. | ||

ProsComfortable ride, perfect height, good fuel mileage, plenty of pep ConsGas gauge and pump cut-off are both wonky: gauge shows only 3/4 tank when full, cut-off shuts off gas flow before tank is full 
35
Small, Sporty, And Fun — Only complaints about this car so far are relatively minor ones: the stereo/CD player doesn't have an auxiliary input for MP3 devices, the gas gauge is off, gas pumps keep shutting off while fueling, and there are a few scratches in the interior paneling. I also miss the ability to make "Jeep turns". Otherwise, I LOVE this car so far... peppy, responsive, smooth ride, and good fuel economy. Both of my parents have ridden in the car with me now, and each is now considering making an Escape their next car! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsEconomical and AMERICAN made - support workers in our country. ConsHarder for older people to get in and out of.

Runs Great, Very Few Repairs, If I Was In The Market For An Suv This Is The One I'd Recommend. — Rides good for an SUV, pretty good on gas mileage. Not as comfortable as a luxury car but it will do. Only drawback is having to climb into the car rather than settling down into a nice seat. Back area is big enough to hold 4 sets of golf clubs without taking the big drivers out of the bags like I had to in my Taurus Wagon. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Love This Vehicle! — Great car. In very good shape. low miles, like new tires. Good interior. 4 cylinder has plenty of pick up and gets great gas mileage.

Suv — Great family Vehicle. Awesome on gas. Comfy road trip seats. I drive this SUV when the trucks not around and it gets me where I want to go fine, its just more of a girly SUV. I would've preferred a Dogde Durango :P or a Jeep cherokee/liberty. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||
