Used 2011 Ford Escape Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Amazing Vehicle
I've owned the FEH for about 4 months now and driven over 7000 miles. The FEH has been a dream come true! My only complaint is the extreme drop in mileage during a cold Wisconsin winter - which is to be expected (and I've seen) with any vehicle. But overall the excitement of driving the 09 FEH is something unmatched. The AWD kicks in without any change in how the ride feels. Great handling overall for the vehicle. My wife who has a Civic loves to drive it and feels that the car is a decent size.
Enjoying new Escape
After owning '97 and '03 Explorer XLT's I downsized to an Escape and upgraded to a Limted with Nav and auto park. I'm happy with the choice. I do notice less cargo room, but I've adapted. AWD is like having the Explorers in 4WD high all the time. No slipping then gripping. Sync and Nav is still fun after a couple of months. Mileage has been great aroung 30mpg. I mostly do around town driving. The tires were filled with nitrogen. I don't know if the dealer did that or the factory.

Fantastic, luxurious, fun to drive
I couldn't be happier with my new Escape Hybrid. Even during the break-in period, during which MPG is slightly less, the efficiency is stunning. As a city driver, getting 34 mpg in the city in a beautiful, luxurious, peppy SUV is a dream come true. The pick up makes it feel more like a V6 than a 4-cylinder. The interior of the Limited edition is second-to-none, and the Sync feature is incredibly convenient. The car handles wonderfully, the steering and braking are responsive (which is an improvement from 2008, where braking was somewhat problematic, I understand). Could not be happier.
Unstoppable hybrid that's cheap as chips
I picked up my 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid in 2018 with only 65K km on it. I've had zero mechanical issues (other than some rust, but the car came from Alberta, so that's to be expected). The 4WD is capable in the backcountry and the CVT transmission hasn't given me any grief in the mountains or offroading, even rock-crawling decommissioned logging roads. City or country, this 4wd hybrid is perfectly comfortable in either, and it costs pennies to run compared to traditional ICE SUVs.
An awesome car overall - love it!
I got this car about a month ago and have been thoroughly impressed so far! I went with the limited edition one and I'm very happy I did--the navigation is one of the best in the industry, not to mention to helpful fuel economy screen and Sirius information. I believe I'm on my 4th tank of gas, and my last one got 31.5 MPG overall. You can cruise to 40 MPH on electric if you don't accelerate too hard, and the Econ AC is a huge plus. One problem is the interior design--the doors are made of cheap looking plastic material that gets scuffed easily. But don't let this fool you, the car is amazing, and if you hurry you can still get a pretty nice tax credit that helps offset the hybrid premium.
