Used Ford Escape for Sale in Norfolk, VA

I traded a 1999 Ford Expedition for this Escape. I loved the Expedition and was a little worried about downsizing so drastically but I am glad I did. Not only am I getting more than twice the fuel mileage but this little beast is a regular rocket ship when I do decide to put my foot down on the accelerator. After driving the car for a couple of weeks and routinely finding myself having to slow down I viewed a couple of YouTube reviews on the performance of the 2.0 liter turbo powered version I purchased and was not surprised to learn of the routine 0-60 and quarter mile performance figures quoted. The handling takes a bit of getting used to, especially the electric power steering which is very sensitive. The car has a surprising amount of room as I found out last week when we moved from our beach cottage into a house. Our 2 Labrador retrievers have more than enough room in the cargo area which was one of the reasons we wanted to stick with an SUV.

I love the fact that it sits up higher than cars, so you get a better view of the road ahead, especially with the large windshield. I love the hands-free phone system as well. My Escape gets terrific gas mileage as well. It drives well, but still has a bit of road noise.
