Used 2005 Ford Escape Consumer Reviews
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.
Escape
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.
Best of those tested
This SUV is everything it's advertized. It handles like a car, has visibality of a pickup, and the exceleration of a sportscar. The ride is excellent, and it's FUN to drive. The headlight system exceeds anything I ever owned, visability at night is excellent. The only drawback is, as mentioned in other reviews, the small gas tank and limited range. So, I have to refill the tank more often -- no big deal.
