My wife and I really like this vehicle. She has a passion for yard saling and this car is great for those stop/start situations. Great fuel economy for an SUV. The oddest feature of the vehicle is the feeling that you're sitting in a truck because the driver's seat sits higher than you would expect. Not a bad feature, just takes getting used to. Impressive amount of cargo space, especially with the back seats laid down. Insulation from road noise could be improved, but the radio easily covers the sound.

Best of the first gen Ford Escape Hybrids! We had one totaled in a horrific accident, and the car protected us well. So much so that we replaces it with an identical car!

This is a great car for the money-- it has excellent gas mileage (If you're willing to alter you're driving a bit, it's possible to get close to 40mpg in the city!) and plenty of space for people and stuff. Add AWD, and it's even good in the snow.

Don't believe those who say they wont pay for themselves. This little SUV AVERAGES 32 mpg. I have yet to get less than 27 mpg. Solid as a rock, Incredible quality and low maintenance. Plenty of power.

This car gets the best gas mileage out of any other AWD car I've seen. The hybrid makes this a very economical SUV with AWD/4WD. Nice ride and very few problems. I have loved this car! Lots of space for a family.
