Used Ford Escape Hybrid for Sale

At the time I bought it in 2006, this vehicle gave the best mileage for the amount of gear you could stow in it. I have variously loaded this vehicle with kayaks, bicycles, a topcase, and tons of scuba and camping gear, and the mileage doesn't really falter. Generally the mileage averages out to just a little north of 25 mpg. The handling seems smooth to me and I am pretty comfortable driving it. I have never had a serious mechanical problem with this car. It is a little strange when the hybrid engine shuts itself off and on again, and sometimes I am not sure if ignition is on...!

It's extremely reliable so far. The dashboard is very simple and easy to use. The car isn't complicated and doesn't have endless feature, which can be nice. It is decently fast when needed. It could ride a little bit better as sometimes it gets sort of bumpy. The headlights are sort of dim, which can be frustrating. It has plenty of cup holders, and the seat is easy to recline and adjust. All the mirrors are adjustable so that's nice. So far it's performed really well at almost 40K miles. I'd certainly recommend it to people who are looking for an easy car to drive. It isn't flashy or anything. The A/C in the car works really well. Plenty of leg space in the car. It has five seats total in the vehicle. It has lots of room for luggage in the back of the car. You can also use that space to haul stuff around. The car is tall enough to see very well while driving for the most part. You never feel too low to the ground, which is nice. I'd probably recommend it to anyone. It seems pretty safe so far. It isn't large or anything so you won't have too much trouble parking it.

I really enjoy my Ford Escape Hybrid. I bought it from a small dealer after my last car was totaled when a tree fell on it. At first I was worried after reading that the batteries in hybrids can go out leaving you out of luck. Fortunately for me the car is now over ten years old and is still running smooth. It had one recall when I first bought it, but Ford fixed the issue for free. It has all of the perks of a large SUV without the huge carbon footprint. I can fit all of my camping and outdoor gear in the back or even sleep in it if I don't feel like pitching a tent. The miles per gallon is reasonable considering its size. Since it's a hybrid though, the car struggles going up hills and does not speed up very quickly. Speeding up quickly makes you feel like you're putting too much work on the car. Also, the inside is made of mostly plastic so sometimes it rattles.
