2nd 2007 Escape Hybrid, going strong

Background: Bought a used 2007 Escape Hybrid at a dealership still under warranty and it was an excellent purchase. Great Gas mileage, excellent handling, roomy, good use of storage. Sadly, it was totaled in wreck caused by driver not paying attention while on a cell phone. I turned around and bought the same model, same year Escape Hybrid because I loved it. Both vehicles have been excellent for me throughout the years and besides the maintenance costs, I've had minimal costs except for a pricey emissions sensor that went out on me recently. I've taken care of it and its taken care of me.

Better than expected

I've been driving this car for over four months now and it has outperformed my expectations. Gas mileage is at 29.6, and I drive all highway miles. It handles like a foreign car, is incredibly smooth, and looks sharp (appearance package). Acceleration leaves something to be desired, but I find myself driving in a safer, more fuel efficient manner when the ability to peel off the line is no longer an option. All in all this car has performed far better than I anticipated.

The perfect vehicle

I've had my Escape Hybrid now for 2 months and I couldn't think of a better vehicle to own. It is a jack of all trades. I can tow my 15 foot fishing boat, haul the kids and, all our gear, all while getting 30 mpg avg. fuel economy. My wife loves the high seating position; she would rather drive the Escape then her Jaguar. She also likes the fact that it handles more like a car then a suv. Build quality is first rate even though some of the materials are second rate (dash plastic is hard). The engine runs smooth, and the hybrid system is almost transparent (better then all the Toyota Prius I have driven), acceleration is strong up to 70mph (it will outrun a 200 hp v6 Escape to 50 mph).

Little frustrations, large value

I have owned my used 2007 FEH for a bit over a month now and have been very happy with it! The average MPG is 30.2 over five fill-ups and the battery gives a good stable acceleration from stops. I'm enjoying the visibility and general comfort of the drive with a few annoyances that I've had to fix: the sunroof sometimes rattles and squeaks with the road vibrations, the door sensor reliably faults in the mid afternoon triggering the door open alarm when driving or the theft alarm when parked.

After 5000 miles

I decided upon this as it met my needs for room, mileage and price. I've had others say that Toyota makes 3 hybrids and that they are better. In all honesty 20 years ago that was true, but not now. I did my research and could not justify the extra $$ difference. So far I have not regretted my decision.
