I HAVE HAD THIS ESCAPE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW, I BOUGHT IT USED AND REALLY WANTED AN SUV. I LIKE THAT IT IS A SMALLER SUV BUT STILL HAS ROOM FOR MY STUFF AND IF I GO ON A TRIP WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM TO RELAX. IT GETS GREAT GAS MILEAGE AND THE UP KEEP IS FAIRLY SIMPLE. IT SNOWS AND SLEETS A LOT IN THE WINTER WHERE I LIVE AND IT HANDLES VERY WELL IN THESE CONDITIONS. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THIS. THE SAFETY IS A BIG FACTOR FOR ME AND I HAD ONE ACCIDENT IN THIS, WHERE A DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND IT HELD UP GREAT, I DID HAVE SOME DAMAGE BUT IT WASNT COSTLY TO GET FIXED. I FINANCED MY VEHICLE AND THE PAYMENTS WERE RIGHT IN MY BUDGET AND I'M A SINGLE MOTHER SO THAT IS GREAT FOR ME.

My Ford Escape has over 95000 miles now, with no repairs to date. Except replacing tires, battery, and brake pads, and other normal maintenance. It is a good car, fun to drive and easy on gas.
