Used 2006 Ford Escape Consumer Reviews
Great first car
Great car. It does have a small gas tank. However, it is engaging compared to most new SUVs. It is dependable and has ample passing power. A few detriments are an unrefined transmission, the brake pedal has noticeable take up before it will noticeably slow down, and the doors feel cheap when closed.It does stop fairly well and all around is a good car. For the price it is definitely recommended. The chassis could be rigid and the dampers allow unwanted movements during rough roads. The final thing is the steering wheel vibrates while driving fast.

Great to Drive
Very agile, peppy 4 cylinder, well designed interior & dash, lots of room and passenger friendly & comfortable.
Why didn't I buy one sooner?
I have been driving a Chevy Silverado 4x4 wit 6 inch lift and 36 inch mud tires that averaged 9-11 mpg on the highway. after years of that I decided to buy an Escape XLS and have been 100% satisfied with it. The 4 cylinder with the five speed manual tranny actually as decent acceleration and its fuel mileage is amazing. Everything about the macine is easy to use and functions very well.
Serious Value, Hard to Beat
Bought new 7/06, 0% financing on $20K. Get 25mpg with the 4, sit up high for safety, park in compact spaces, room for all kinds of toys and junk. Have slept in it more than once. Dependable and faultless performance. No, it's not for towing big boats or taking turns at 50. I have had it over 100 in the desert and it holds steady. I have owned 50 cars and this is in the top 5. Used car buyers - ALWAYS check for body and frame damage, NEVER buy a car that has been wrecked, they WILL NOT run right ever again, trust me.
