The Ford escape is a reliable and economical small sized SUV. In the 2.5 years I've owned it, I haven't had a single issue with it. It gets okay gas mileage and drives well. I especially like how I can open my trunk with just a click of a button on my key.

I bought this car because my mother in law recommended it to me. I was originally interested because it was less than 25k brand new and highly reviewed. It is easy to drive and a cute car (although I am seeing them everywhere now). It drives smoothly and is easy to maneuver. I bought an Escape that included the nav touch screen system, which I have liked.
