I absolutely love my 2005 Ford Escape! This is a very dependable, economic car that has a lot of room both to travel feeling comfortable in the seats and room for many family members, and also a lot of room for hauling things. It has great fuel economy and we have never had any problems mechanically with it really. We live on a farm, so I always use my car to haul unusual things, like hay and lumber and anything else we need. Also we have packed it full for moving two times, and it has so much room. I love the color, I have purple/blue and I feel it is a cute car. I love the CD player and stereo. Very practical, reliable car.

Have owned this car for four years now and still find it a pleasure to drive. Am the second owner and have only had it in the shop for routine oil changes and one problem with a leak in the rear window gasket. It is 4-wheel drive which is a tremendous help in the hilly mountainous area I live. It preforms well in the rain or snow as well as dry sunny days. Have driven many, many miles on gravel roads and even through shallow flooding areas without any issues. It is easy to attach my kayak to the roof racket and head for the nearby lakes to go paddling. It is small enough to be easy to park in cities, yet roomy enough to really be able to carry lots of feed sacks or moving boxes.
