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.

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.

Hybrid SUV -- Feels Like Cheating

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.

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!

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.
