I love my Ford Escape. She rides like a charm. Comfortable too. My only downfall about this vehicle is the gas mileage on her. 250 miles to a tank.

This is an outstanding vehicle. Handling and comfort is great for this type of vehicle. All controls are at fingertip reach. Locking system locks all locks at the turn of a key or the press of a button.

Big SUV feel in Smaller Size

The 2004 Escape XLT has a solid feel on the road. After driving several other SUVs such as the CRV, I noticed it sits higher off the ground than other smaller SUVs. It has the optional setting so you can set it on 4WD all the time or set it on the sensor. Its 6 cyclinder engine gives it better pick up and power. The Escape also feels roomier inside than other smaller SUVs. My Escape is running about 23.5 mpg, which is a couple of mpg less than the CRV, but mine is a 6 cyl vs. the CRV's 4 cly. My final price also was a few thousand less than what the Honda dealers wanted for the CRV.

2004 Ford Escape Limited 4WD 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

Traded in a 99 Explorer. Big difference! The ride of the Escape is much better than the old style Explorer and I think a little better than the new ones. The Escape has a little more road noise. My wife and I could not justify the $ differance when compared to the Mercedes, BMW, Lexus or Toyota. We test drove all and almost went with the ML320 but she changed her mind when we went back to retest drive an Explorer and she saw the Escape Limited on the lot and asked to drive it. The Escape just fit.
