2008 Escape ? Cosmetic Surgery for the Aging Diva

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2007
The Bottom Line: A rapidly aging product, which cannot be fixed by cosmetics. Look elsewhere unless you're getting a great deal.
Review: The Top Line

I drove a 2001 Escape for over five years and 110,000 miles – and I loved it. Of course, there were a few things about the vehicle that can drive you crazy – more later. Every year I rent a current model for business travel...

2008 Ford Escape: enough of an upgrade?

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2007
The Bottom Line: Merely adequate, by design.
Review: There was a time, not terribly long ago, when it seemed Ford could do no wrong. It had the best-selling car, the best-selling truck, and three other models in the top ten. When it entered the compact car-based SUV fray back in 2000--years ahead of...

On A Hybrid High, Baby!

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2007
The Bottom Line: I recommend the Escape Hybrid to anyone who wants the flexibility of an SUV and wants to save on gas as well.
Review: I just purchased an '08 Escape Hybrid and it is a cool little SUV. Quiet as a mouse on the road and if you're not a leadfoot, it will get you 34 mpg puttering in stop and go in town (that was my first tank). I am on my third tank of gas and I am...

Great car, if you can get your hands on one

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2008
The Bottom Line: Buying one is hard enough that I wonder whether Ford wants to sell this vehicle at all. Which is concerning, considering how good the Ford Escape Hybrid really is.
Review: My wife picked up here Ford Escape Hybrid in November. It's the FWD version with leather interior.

Driving experience:
The FEH is a nicely sized vehicle for four and cargo. It's definitely taller than a crossover SUV, so on entry it's...

2008 Escape Hybrid: A Great Car - So Far

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: I think I made a smart choice when balancing economy, price, reliability, and style. In five years, I hope I feel the same.
Review: I feel like I'm taking a risk with this car, because Ford has not always had great long term reliability or high quality fit/finish. But the CR reliability reviews over the last couple years have been positive on the Escape Hybrid, so I made the...

2008 Ford Escape- A great buy

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: I recommend this vehicle if you're wanting an SUV but don't really need the space or the gas guzzling of the larger models.
Review: I fell in love with this vehicle 6 months ago and bought it that day. I am still loving it everyday. It is a big step up as far as looks go compared to the later models. The interior looks very modern and feels durable. The exterior looks more like...

2008 Ford Escape XLS FWD Manual

Date of Review:  Jun 17, 2009
The Bottom Line: Great fuel-efficient SUV for the money.  I would probably buy another one.
Review: I have owned the XLS Front wheel drive version for 18 months now.  It is fuel efficient on the highway.  It has a 2.3L 4-cylinder with 5 speed manual transmission.  Since the XLS version does not have fuel economy display, I have to check it using...

2nd Limited

Date of Review:  Jun 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: Good SUV, plenty of space for us and good towing for our use. Great purchase.
Review: This is my 2nd Escape limited. The first was the 2005 which we leased. At the time we had reviewed everything available on the market and really felt comfortable in this one. Visibility was great, super easy to park (work parking is extremely...

Great SUV For The Price

Date of Review:  May 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for an affordable SUV with good gas mileage checkout the Escape.
Review: My husband and I purchased ours last year and June and we have been extremely pleased with our Escape. We chose the 4 cylinder XLT model. It gets great gas mileage-about 24 to 27 on the open highway and about 19 to 23 in city traffic driving.

Great car for the family.

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2008
The Bottom Line:

This is a car you can be confident in driving, know it's safe for your children.

Review: I had looked at the Escape when the 2005 model was coming out and couldn't find a competant sales person so ended up with a Jeep Grand Cherokee. With the new lease I didn't bother looking at the Escape until my husband asked me to humor him. It's a...
