I like my Escape but the only thing I don't like is the cheap interior. The fan knobs break easy and I think they should use a higher quality material.
Would buy another

Like the ease of loading and unloading groceries,golfclubs,and boxes from shopping trips. Vehicle is sound and secure and I like the way it handles like a car rather than a truck. The ride is very smooth on the freeway and with the sixteen inch tire upgrade it handle the bumps very well. Would recommend this vehicle to anyone. Ford has improved quality overall and I will continue to buy American as long as they continue to build quality vehicles.

I have had my Escape for almost a year and a half and I absolutely love it! I am a senior in college and it's everything and more I could want in a car! My previous vehicles were sedans and the Escape drives like a car, but I love sitting higher in traffic and would not trade this car for anything! I hit a deer a few months ago and I know that I would have been injured if I were in a sedan. It is so spacious. I am now the designated driver on road trips, but it's well worth it because all my friends love the car too and we all fit comfortably! I plan on graduating college and heading off into the real world in this vehicle!
OK but I don't love it

I had a '97 Explorer that I loved but wanted to move down in size. Only the Escape had the truck like feel of my Explorer. But I've been disappointed by poor design and functionality that I unfortunately didn't notice and/or had to sacrifice with going with the Escape. Where does Ford get the interior design engineers? I also have a CRV which has great storage concepts and interior space usage - Ford is horrible in this department. I like the drive of the Escape, and the exterior look - but that's about it. I likely will not be keeping this for 7 years as I did my Explorer.
Great little vehicle

We have two Escapes and this is the second "set" of them that we have purchased and we love them. They are a great small SUV and we can use them for just about anything. We are going to try the new hybrid model next year!
