This car has been one of our favorite vehicles. We purchased this car used, and it has been a very reliable form of transportation. It rides and drives really well and hasn't been in the shop other than for routine maintenance. My car is loaded with features that I don't usually purchase, so that makes me feel kind of luxurious without the cost of luxuriousness, and who doesn't like that? The air continues to blow cold, and the heated seats are awesome! This is my daily driver, and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for reliable transportation that doesn't need adult room in the backseat.

I got this car as first car ever that I had purchased on my own. Within a couple months the entire outside started to rust bad. I don't know of it was the make that year or what but a lot of the 2008 2009 year models of the escape were really rusty. The back windshield the holders completely rusted off. The transmission cylinder rusted and it finally just hit the bucket. I don't know how the other Escapes are built now but the 2008 model I wouldn't recommend.
