No hot rod, but plenty of pickup for a 4 cylinder. The ride is slightly firm but very comfortable. Handles much better than the '08 and the interior is very quiet. The 6 speed transmission is very smooth. Getting great mileage already. The Sync and nav system are fun and the stereo is killer. Very roomy. Sits high and has great visibility all the way around. I've looked over every inch I can think of and the fit and finish seem flawless. I have read some criticism about the front disk, rear drum brakes and you would think it has disks all around with the very effective braking I have experienced. It's not a sports car but it is great for a small SUV.

I bought my hybrid used in very very good condition. I have driven it for 60,000 miles and still in excellent condition. New tires when I bought it and now it needs a second set. Very good mileage on the tires. The SUV has held up quite well. Only regular maintenance and one minor glitchy rear seat problem. I have just replaced it with a late 2018 Escape. I had a 1984 Bronco II- 115,000. Followed by 4 Explorers. Changed to Escape Hybrid for the better MPG.

We bought a 2009 Ford Escape Limited AWD with a 4 Cyl great on Gas very dependable never had an issue. There have been 3 recalls all just minor things. But no issues. We now have 54,500 miles on it. We also bought a 2013 Ford Escape I truly think the Old body style was better looking but the 2013 is slightly bigger on the in side. We have 80,000 mikes on this one. Just sold it to our Daughter and we bought a Ford Explorer XLT 4X4 I’ll review that one later.

Donn't buy an 08. The 09 has a bigger engine, 4 wheel anti lock brakes, a 6 speed automatic trans. The steering is smooth, easy, and I can turn shorter than my 2000 Focus. The ride is quiet, smooth,and the bucket seats are very comfortable. I bought the white suede with camel interior. The car has everything on it except Navigation, heated seats, and outside mirror. I just had reverse sensors added yesterday. Oh yes I have the leather seating too. Sirius radio is great and not that expensive when the free radio expires.
American Quality?

Bought American to support my country and UAW after years of Asian vehicles. Engine runs/idles louder/rougher than comparable imports and SUV has been into dealer 3 times for over 3 weeks. Mysterious clunking in rear (Ford engineer called in), leaky transmission, transmission shifting problems (recall to reprogram control module solved them). Overall, I like the vehicle but have been a little disappointed with the overall quality and experience of owning it. Certainly makes me question the contention that domestic vehicles are equal to and exceeding imports. And, it seems like every other car on the road is an Escape!
