Got a great deal then had them add running boards before I would sign. This is a very nice auto. The sage exterior and camel interior are excelent. Has every option but GPS and trailer hitch. Wife had to have heated seats, she is happy. Sirius radio and Sync are a lot of fun. Handles very well and enough power for me. From Ohio and looking forward to 4x4 feature.

Has been an awesome vehicle! Purchased new in Feb 2009 and has served me very well! Very Comfortable and roomy! At 160,000 miles (yep - 160.000) I had to replace my front brakes! At 190,000 the back brakes had to Be replaced as was the battery! Other then oil changes my cost of operation has been very low! Today the vehicle has 195,246 miles. Within the last 100 miles I noticed some clutch slippage and it appears that a new clutch will need to be installed! In calling around it sounds like a simple, reasonable cost repair! Has been a great car and I am looking forward to reaching 300,000 miles! Highly recommend the 2009 2.5 l xls Manual Ford Escape!

I wanted something like a station wagon, that I did not have to step down into, and did not want all wheel drive. So far the vehicle has performed well, achieving 30 miles to the Cdn. gallon city, and 40 Cdn. Hwy. Five spd a little tricky at first,a taller 5th gear would be appreciated (2500 Rpm at 60 mph). Clutch is a tad heavy, black interior hard to keep clean. Growls during acceleration but quiets down. Some wind noise at hwy speeds or cross winds.I wish they would seal the seams on the body work like Toyota does to prevent salt accumulation. Wife loves it.

A week after I drove it off the lot, I noted the steering wheel vibrated quite a bit while idling at red lights. Once it got hot and I started running the A/C, the vibration spread to the entire dash. My passengers could feel it. It was getting worse and the dealer said all the V4's did it, and they wouldn't do anything to fix it. "The car operates in the manner in which it was designed" was what the service reps and all the Ford reps said. Eventually the vibration got so bad that the antenna on the passenger side OUTSIDE the car would vibrate with the inside of the car. Ford said that was normal. I gave up and traded it in for a Mazda.
