reliable vehicle

l bought this vehicle used good price and has been a reliable vehicle. Biggest problem with the ford escape is the back wheel wells rust out prematurely. mainly because of the plastic liner that allows salt and mosture to get in and trapped. l would definitely buy another one. comfortable ride

Great First car

I got the V6 XLT in blue for a great deal at an auction. It had 153,000 miles and it now has about 162,000. So far it’s been great, and although it isn’t a speed demon, I love how it looks and it drives adequately for my needs. Fuel economy isn’t the greatest and I get about 260 miles to the tank. I hooked up a Sony head unit and the sound system is great with the built in sub, overall a great compact SUV.

Reliable

Great suv. Spacious, reliable. Sporty. Off road vehicle. Great for outdoors and city driving. It has good handling capabilities also. It's not too small and not too big, spacious when needed and comfort with style.

Functional!

Great weekender car with a roaring engine. Different from what I’m used to in a smaller vehicle, but the functionality of the car is superb!

Love This Vehicle!

I really hate having to sell this truck, one of my best investments, only selling because of relocating. would recommend this vehicle to any friends or family. Needs a little TLC not much though...
