The dealer ship was great ! But this will be my last Ford My wife picked up our 2005 Escape she did not notice the paint on the hood had a mark by both windshield squirters looked like water marks. They do not come off ! look its a new car and already has to have body work. You can leave the key in and no alarm (makes it easy to lock your keys in the ESCAPE) doors do not lock when you put it in drive this is a safty issue if you have small children.

I was pleasantly surprised by the new 2005 Escape...it has good pickup and a newly revised, high quality interior. I would definitely recommend it to those in the market for a compact SUV.
Very Nice

It is a very nice looking vehicle and drives very comfortable. The interior is comfortable and is user friendly. I also like the intelligent 4WD system.

I simply love my Escape Hybrid. I have all the room I need for the wife, 2 kids, and the dog in the back, and yet I regularly get fuel economy close to 30 mpg average per tank.
Enjoyable driving!!

Keep up the great quality that you put into your new units. The best thing you can do is to test drive a new Escape and enjoy all the great features the SUV has!
Great Escape (2005)

I have owned my '05 Escape for just over 2 months and have already logged 3,500 miles. I did my homework on the competition before buying and found the Escape the best choice over all. Not one single problem to date. Rides & drives great, V6 power and good fuel economy. City/hwy mileage consistently between 23 & 25 mpg. Excellent seating position and visibility. Not too crazy about the step bars, but on the plus side, may help protect against door dings while in the parking lots. Over all, I'm a satisfied customer.

I've been looking at purchasing this vehicle for a few years, and did a lot of a research. Great vehicle - my first NEW vehicle. I don't think I will ever want to drive a car again.
Fun in Wheels

I've had my Escape for a short time, but I love it! It has great room inside, compared to other suv's in its class. The ride is awsome, and its a quiet car. THE V-6 engine is responsive. I've previously owned toyotas, so I was surprised that the interior quality is every bit as good as japanes cars. The escape handles very well and you always feel in control. Anyone who's looking for a small suv , would be silly not to check out this american gem!
Glad I waited

My first SUV. Went for the 4 cylinder. Great on gas, over 22 mpg average. Extremely comfortable ride, easy to manage in traffic. Interior well designed, a real joy to drive. All the creature comforts of a sedan with the storage and security of a 4 wheel drive. Lots of leg room in the back. Really hugs the wet and snowy roads. Best vehicle I ever owned in 41 years of driving.
