I was hesitant about buying the Escape because I've always had smaller cars. But as our family was expanding, our car needed to keep us. I love that the Escape drives and handles very easily and has several features that make it seem more compact; the blind spot mirrors are great, as is the three way adjustable seat so my short 5 feet frame can drive and be comfortable just as much as my 6 foot 6 inch husband. I love the gas mileage, which was better than my smaller car, and it is roomy enough for two adults, two carseats, and our two dogs in the back. One of the best parts of owning the vehicle was the purchasing experiences. Our Ford dealership was absolutely delightful.

I love my 2008 Ford Escape. This is the 2nd Ford Escape I have purchased. The size is ideal, not too big not too small. It's perfect considering I live in the country and travel a lot of bumpy dirt roads that a car just doesn't handle well. The vehicle performs very well on the dirt roads, and also handles very well on the highway. I love the fact that the seats fold down flat in the back, creating plenty of room. Seats five people comfortably. Plenty of room for storage. Love the big center console and the 4 cup holders. The chrome wheels where my favorite. Good turning radius. Very easy to maneuver in tight spaces and easier to park. Sensitive, but responsive steering. Power windows and mirrors, remote central locking, leather covered tilt adjustable steering wheel, remote audio and cruise control buttons, removable roof racks, front fog lamps and power antenna were awesome. good all round visibility and It’s also surprisingly quiet for an SUV. All around good vehicle for price.
