Looked far and wide for a 4 cyl/5 speed FWD. This is a great drivetrain. Have gotten 31 MPG several times. Overall I get 28+MPG on my mostly highway commute. Snow is no problem with FWD. I run good snow tires and have had no problems even in deep snow. Not as good as my old jeep but never got stuck. Get the 05 and up vs the 04 if you can. Much better interior design and the bigger 2.3 motor gives better performance and fuel milage. Looked at the Toyota and Honda, but were much more expensive and much smaller. My son is 6'3" and fits in the back with no problems. Also no $300-500 timing belt to worry about on these cars. Has been very reliable. 60,000 miles and no problems what so ever.
LOVE THIS CAR

Have had Escape '05 Limited for 3 days; test drove about 9 months ago and last week when a tree finished off my '97 RAV4 I knew it was time. This car is fabulous. The leather seats are worth every penny (you will be sorry if you settle for cloth). It drives effortlessly, comfortably with little road noise, good stereo, beautiful interior. I have read all reviews on Edmunds for Tribute, CR-V, RAV4 and more people than any other car agree about the Escape - it is FUN! See CR-V complaints about noise, few standard options, RAV4 about comfort and power, and Tribute for just plain boring exterior. Mariner is supposed to be equal car but not many people are buying it or have rated it.

Smoothest ride of any SUV-type vehicle I've been in. Very stable with solid feel to road while driving. My St. Bernard dog loves riding in it and enjoys the side step for getting in/out. Cannot imagine having any other vehicle.
GREAT CAR

I just got the Ford excape and I really enjoy driving it. It has a stunning look and drives very smooth while having a decent size engine. I suggest test driving this vehicle to understand the kind of performance and power it has. GO BUY ONE
Great for the money

I shopped around for an SUV for a few months, visinting all the major competitors and I think I got the best deal with the Escape. It's comparable to the other SUVs out there and more reasonably priced.
