Used 2008 Ford Escape XLT V6 FWD for Sale near Des Moines, IA

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.

Great car and perfect for Moms! Handles great and is almost as nice as my former BMW X3. Holds a lot and believe me, I have tested its capacity! Love the sunroof and all of the room and features too!

Performance wise for the 3.0l V6 is ok at 205hp but could use a little more umph. Ford should have gone with a 5 speed on this one whcih would have helped out a lot with fuel economy. Otherwise I love the truck and how it handles.

The V6 engine is a strong accelerator. Handals well. Never needed repair. The new styling is better than the previous model. It gets great gas milage, usually 22 MPG. It is a fun suv to drive if a bigger one is out of reach.

Good cargo space. Decent gas mileage. Great looks.
