Will a fresh new look be enough to help Ford’s compact SUV stay ahead of the pack?
Since arriving in 2001, the Ford Escape has been a stalwart among compact crossovers and SUVs. This year, Ford refreshes the trucklet’s design with a chrome grille, taller beltline, and less (but more heavily styled) plastic cladding the running boards. But with the same set of engines and bones underneath, will the new-look Escape be able to keep up with a rapidly improving class?

(60 reviews)Rust over the rear wheels, Passenger side rear door does not work. I did not drive it
120,000 miles and only two days in the shop. Once for a manufacturer's recall on the radiator and another for a worn pulley. With regular maintenance, this SUV has served me well as a daily driver, emergency response vehicle, and equipment hauler for just about everything. It's great in the snow and ice, and drives smoothly for long days on the road. I would highly recommend the V6 as it doesn't leave you wanting for more on the highway and pulls your average trailer with ease.
I have three right now, ranging 2008 to 2012. I have owned many escapes with this year range. I love them, great gas mileage, very simple. Lots of room. Will continue to buy.
The 2008 Ford Escape has been the best vehicle that I have ever owned.
I've driven this car just under 12 months, and still love it. It looks great, is very comfortable to ride in and handles well. My fuel economy is as good or slightly better than that of the '04 Honda CRV - which was a 4 cyl. - and the Escape is a 6 cyl. The only repair that has been done was to have the rear struts modified by a mechanic to fix a design flaw which caused undesirable wear on the rear tires. Seems that Ford could have rectified this by now, but apparently, the struts are positioned to help with the 'roll over' issue... never mind that it causes undue wear of the rear tires. Unless things change drastically, my next vehicle may very well be another Escape. Oh, and the repair costs are lower than for the Honda... a good thing when 'issues' arise.
