2005 Ford Escape Hybrid Fwd 4dr SUV (2.3L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
The Escape Hybrid is excellent on gas, fun to drive, and awesome in snowy weather. Overall, I like the car's performance, and was surprised when I floored it how fast it accelerated. I bought the car and will have it for the next 5 years and will definitely buy the 2010 model.
I wish it would go faster on the electric battery only, just because I get unbelievable mileage. The SUV has a sharp look to it, especially after I had Ford put a brush guard and bug deflector on it. Also, the sound system is awesome.
I would like to see lighted vanity mirrors, a sunroof, and heated seats. I would also like arm rests (I am 5'5").
