Both my wife and enjoy this car more than any other we have owned. We would purchase a new one if they still made the Escape hybrid. We have over 150,000 miles on this car and it is still going strong.
UPDATE: We now have 200,000 miles on the Escape and just keeps running! However, we recently purchased a 2012 Prius Plug-In Hybrid and have been spoiled by the 75 mpg we get with that car. The Escape Hybrid's low 30 mpg pales in comparison. So the Escape doesn't get driven as much anymore. However it is still a great utility vehicle and we are reluctant to get rid of it until the wheels fall off.Aug 09, 2014

Ford Escape Hybrid AWD is a real nice family suv great for running errands around town and a terrific winter car in the snow. We use it to take our dogs to the park every day and they both fit in the back quite nicely. Seats fold down if you need more room for bigger items. Took a bunch of antique furniture to Ohio in it a year ago. Very comfortable for long drives prefer it to my Lexus.Jul 18, 2013

I think this car is a good family car. Runs good saves a lot on gas and you can see everything good as you drive. Has good trunk space for your shopping needs. I also love the color very much.Apr 15, 2013

Love that its a family car that doesn't look like a minivan. I can fit three car seats side by side in backseat. Acceptable cargo space. Really loud on inside the cab on the highway. Gas mileage not what I would have hoped forJun 11, 2012

Breaks on 2005 ford excape hybrid
Purcased with 23000 miles on vehicle in aug 2011 one week later service brake light was on took to ford they found cracked master cylinder and replaced. A week later same light was on found ground fault wiring service bulletin and repaired. Since that time the service break light has continued to come on and has been back for service 5 more times last week they replaced the master cylinder for the 2nd time thinking that the sensor was bad in the master cylinder. After driving the vehicle for 2 miles after picking up the vehicle the service brake system light is back on again and will be taking it back to the shop on monday has anyone else had issue with the break light?
