2009 Ford Escape Hybrid User Reviews

Pros

Cons

The engine is noisy under high acceleration

Purchased As Used

I looked at these for some time. I was driving a 2003 Ranger and I would constantly hit my head any time the road got bumpy. I wanted something that got better mileage and had more head room. The only things I could find with enough head room were a full size pickup, van or a VW Beetle. The trucks and vans got worse mileage than the Ranger and the Beetle is just too small if I have to move anything.

In March of 08 I found a used 07 for sale in my price range. With the 6 way adjustable seat I can get good head room in this. I have moved Lumber (by putting down the back seats and moving forward the passenger seat I have carried 8 foot boards inside with all the windows and doors shut. ) and bicycles in side with me. Since I got it I have driven about 14000 miles and over that I have averaged a little over 37mpg. Better in warm weather and worse in cold.

I highly recommend this vehicle.
