CONS: for a hybrid, lousy gas milage

REVIEW: After 1 year and 10000 miles I am getting rid of it. The only way you will get good gas mileage is, you have to totally drive different for the battery to kick in. Must drive correctly under 25 miles per hour and accerlate correctly to 25 miles per hour. more hype than what is worth if you do a ...

CONS: Weak acceleration entering a fwy-need 5K RPM! Squicks at back end. Weak heater-takes 5min!

REVIEW: I lyk my 2003 V6 Escape, but suddenly window switch broke-off and drove on da cold! So, Ford guys sold me 06 Hybrid instead of fixing the broken switch for free! I hate them! I like the comfort drive and brakes of 06 Hybrid compared to 03 V6. The 06 Hybrid is a nice car, but heavier and slower ...

CONS: Steering makes noise when making left turns. Right rear wheel well is noisy.

REVIEW: Lousy gas milage: 20.1 -23.2 at best. If I can get 14 MPG out of my v-10 I should be able to milk better MPG out of a Hybrid. Losing money with every fill up. ...

CONS: Towing capacity is tiny, but it's to be expected in such a high MPG vehicle.

REVIEW: Love it, love, it LOVE IT! Plenty of comfort with 4WD on demand for Rocky Mountain winters. Almost double the mileage of my '03 Tribute 4WD. ...

CONS: non

REVIEW: I have had my car a little over a year and am very happy with it. It is zippy, no hesitation when I step on the gas. The visual is very good, much better than a lot of the other vehicles I have owned. It fits my needs totally. In a year or so my daughter will get this one and I plan on ...

CONS: Only getting 28 MPG. AC stops when it is running on the battery.

REVIEW: Overall I love this SUV, it is one of Fords best products. I changed to the Hybrid from the 3.0 2002 version and I am very happy. OK I miss the acceleration of the 3.0 but it is not too bad at all. Beware of the rear carpet at the back of the car, it is a joke. It is not fixed down and it moves ...

CONS: The defroster does not work unless the engine is running.

REVIEW: This is a great SUV for those interested in doing their part to conserve gas, reduce pollution and have fun. This SUV has plenty of room. We took our 5 year old camping. We were able to carry our tent, sleeping bags, air mattresses. Plus our cooler, food and two duffle bags with clothes. Our trip ...

CONS: we want a stick shift!

REVIEW: -This car is a good efficient compromise between roominess and haul-ability on the one hand and fuel economy/ low emissions on the other. We generally average 30+ mpg (now that we know how to drive it and it is broken in), and we feel good driving it. -The tax rebates nearly paid for the cost of ...
