Used 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid for Sale

This is a great small family vehicle that feels more like a car than a large SUV and yet feels roomy inside. I just wish that it didn't have problems with the rear door window hinge, the leather tear, and the air conditioner quitting.

For someone who does not have kids, the size of the vehicle is perfect. Anyone with a family, it would be too small. The leg room in the backseat is pretty tight as well. Hooking up a child's car seat is a little tricky, so that could be a problem. The gas mileage is good, but newer cars of the same size that are not hybrids get about equal gas mileage. I purchased the car because of its safety rating, and generally speaking, I do feel safe. The only time I don't is if it is raining hard because the car sometimes hydroplanes (front-wheel drive). The pick-up is pretty good when accelerating from a stop. The only problem I have had is with a motor fan, which was recalled, but I had it replaced by the dealership. Everything else has just been normal wear and tear. I had a small fender-bender, and the car that I hit had their bumper dented in pretty bad, but the damage on my car was very minimal. The headlights could be a little brighter, but it is probably because it is an older car and newer bulbs are made better. The car has been very dependable with minimal problems. It has a navigation screen, but it is very small. The sound quality of the speakers are surprisingly good.
