Our Escape is fun, nimble, roomy & cute. With the second row of seats folded down there is tremendous room to haul cargo, plus it has a 3,500lb towing capacity.

This is my second Ford Escape. I am a musician and camper so I appreciate the interior space. I find it quite comfortable and easy to handle. It does however have some road noise and isn't the "smoothest" ride, but after all, it is an SUV. I have the XL package with 4 wheel drive which I have never had to use but feel it's worth it just in case. I would buy another unless the price goes too huigh for what it offers.

I like it, I came from driving a 04 4dr turbo diesel dualy to this and it is soooo much fun. It's little and easy to get around in but I don't feel like I'm gonna get completely squashed by other vehicles. It was great for gettin' around a college town where drivers are crazy.

This has been the all around best car. I do not have to worry about going out of town and having any problems with it, or waking up and it not starting. I know that this will be like every other Ford that my family has owned, a 200,000 mile+ car.
Ford Escape Hybrid is a Plus

I purchased the Ford Escape Hybrid one month ago and the mpg has been about what Ford said it would be. 33 on the highway and about 37 mpg in the city. It handles well and is a pleasure to drive. As gas prices continue to soar, my decision to purchase the Hybrid looks better and better!
ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT!

I am so thrilled with my new 2005 Escape Limied. This is my first suv and I can't get over how easy it is to drive. The pick up is great, the ride is smooth, the sounds system is fantastic. Ford obviously spent a lot of time designing the interior as well as the exterior beucase everything is in an intutive and comfortable place!
So far so good...

This is our second Ford Escape, our 2001 Escape was totalled by a drunk driver. The changes, inside and out, for the 2005 Escape are wonderful. A great buy for what you get! Great acceleration, comfortable, We love our Escape.
