I owned one for about 8 months. I loved it. It goes in the snow like no other car I have ever driven. It was roomy, and comfy. I had it decked out, but I would not recommend the running boards for it, as they get your pants dirty. I had to sell it because of a realtionship gone bad. But I miss driving it. I think Ford did a fine job on this car. The auto 4x4 is awesome!! I was shocked on how it kicks in as needed. 3 people in my family own these and they too love them.I have a new loaded 4x4 ford truck that cannot campare to this car.

Ford Escape, a good buy?

I bought my Escape after having my daughter. I needed a bigger car & a car that was good in the snow. I liked the look of the Escape so I looked into it & ended up buying one. I am pleased with my purchase. I did however have some problems with it. A couple months after buying it, the gears wouldn't shift properly. I brought it in & the computer needed to be updated. Then my tires needed to be replaced. Overall, the Escape is a nice, reliable car, but if you are looking for a car that is great on gas, this may not be the car for you.

I love how the Ford Escape drives. It is very spaceous and its adjustable seats are very accomodating. The SUV runs smoothly. However..I have had to take it to the dealer twice already under its warranty. The first time due to the check engine light coming on for no apparent reason and the other because it stalled on me while driving on a city street. Even with these experiences I am still satisfied with the vehicle = ).

Escape (FUN)

The escape is the perfect "SUV" for a family of 5. My personal vehicle is a F150 Harley-Davidson...so I take this thing out for fun. The 3.0 V6 and it's small size make it fun to drive.
