Fuel: 22-24 MPG

Purchased a 2009 Escape a few months ago.....It has been so far the best deal ever....quiet ride with 17 inch michs all around. The SYNC system is great!!! no need for a ear bluetooth anymore...the system even response to voice dialing......Capless fuel system, and auto dimming rear mirror, 6 speed auto transmission can gear down like a stick-shift if you wish.....the V6 takes of like a rocket!!..Better hold on to something!!!..this is a great Ford SUV........I will buy another when this one hits about 300,000 miles!!!!!!...Dont believe the bad reviews....BUY THIS SUV!!!!!!!!!...read morehide

Pros

hummmm compared to other ccars, none

Cons

don't buy one

Purchased As New

it's ok until the warranty runs out then take out a loan. a tune up cost 950 dollars and to add insult to injury my dealer didn't replace the parts he said he did and of course charged for the labor he didn't do. is it no wonder people go to honda and toyota ?

Pros

Excellent design and apparence

Cons

Still needs better fuel economy

Purchased As Not Purchased

I love the Ford Escape design and I generally like Ford. We own two - the newer F150 and an older Escort. We want to buy the great looking Escape but just can't do it yet. Why won't Ford put in a small diesel engine such as the 2.0L TDI used in the VW 2009 Sportwagon, It has only 140 HP but a wopping 236 ft-lbs of torgue. That's more than the Escape with the V6 and both the Ford and VW are in the range of 3250 lbs curb wt.

I expect such an engine put in the Escape could boost its mileage up to 40 mpg. Let's all write to Ford -- they are doing great but could be even better!!...read morehide

Pros

great handling & roomy

Cons

Contential tires

Purchased As New

Bought new a little over a year ago I heard loud noise from the tire and I thought it was the wheel baring going bad, however I was told by a Ford Mechanic that the Contential tires that are on all new Ford Escapes do not work well with the escapes heavier frame. It wears the tire unevenly and your stuck with annoying tire noise and load tire noise. Very load drive and the enterior is very basic. Could have put more design into it. Also cheap seat can feel the seats pop from seat....read morehide

Pros

great suv for the size, excellent gas mileage, saftey rating was a big factor

Cons

rides a liitle rough

Purchased As New

I bought a 2009 Fusion and 3 months later totaled it. I had an Expediton before that. I bought the Escape due to the fact that my family has only known me to drive SUVs and when I bought the car they missed the Suv room. I didn't want anything as big as the Expedition so I chose the Escape. I love it! I get the SUV feel without the big gas tag and the feel of parking a tank. I would highly recommend it. Also, due to my accident, the safety rating was a factor as well. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED my fusion and I walked away with only 2 bruises, but the family wanted the SUV....read morehide

Cons

Just a little noisy when accelerating

Purchased As New

I purchased this vehicle in January 2009 and it has been a fun and enjoyable experience. I love to drive again, especially weekend trips. The rear area is very spacious for a compact SUV.

Pros

Outstanding car****American Company!****

Cons

So far, everything has been superb!

Purchased As New

If you are looking for a tremendous automobile with plenty of room, fuel efficiency, and an array of great features, then you need to drive the Ford Escape! The imporvements are well noted and I believe it is one of the finest vehicles on the road----and at a very affordable price. It is great to see an American company producing such a fine automobile at such a good cost to the consumer. We have had the car for four months without any negative incidents. Great vehicle!...read morehide

Pros

Rides great and gas mileage is right at 24mpg

Cons

none

Purchased As New

Love this suv so far. Bought it brand new about a month ago and its powerful and rides smooth. Comes with satellite radio for 6 months and its great. Bluetooth for your cell is awesome feature as it will read out loud your text messages while you're driving so you don't have to read them.

Pros

Great styling, comfort, fuel economy& power-at reasonable price

Cons

none

Purchased As New

It is a great relief that there is still one american car company cranking out good cars. The Escape was a great fit for me and my family of three, I bought it earlier this year when Ford was offering the employee discounts. I give this car high marks on it's styling and comfort. I get 22+ average MPGs in mostly suburbia driving, while still providing plenty of power to satisfy my macho husbands need for power. At this point it has gone to the dealer once for an improperly installed air conditioning hose- no air conditioning-it took a couple of days to get the part from the factory. The interior is hansome and the SYNC feature is nice, I would really recommend this car....read morehide
