Used Ford Escape for Sale in San Diego, CA

My first experience with driving a Ford Escape, was when I had one as a rental car. I am bigger than average, and I fit into it comfortably (huge plus). Plus, I thought the dashboard was laid out well and I was able to find everything easily. So when my car was having problems, I went to the Ford Dealership and purchased a Ford Escape, for less than $16,000 in late 2006. This was so much cheaper than many other cars cost, and it satisfied my needs well. I sometimes have the need to carry things about, and the SUV gives you more storage than most. I like white, my car is white. The interior is fine, it may be a bit plain but that is OK with me. I have a stick shift which makes the car seem a bit sporty. I have a four cylinder engine, which provides plenty of pickup for me. I wouldn't have wanted the six, available then. The car has AC, power locks with remote, and a nice radio and CD player (minimum these days). After 81,000 miles AC still works well. I have done the suggested maintenance at the suggested times, always a good idea IMO. I have had no problems mechanically, just one incident with a rock coming up and cracking the windshield on a trip. So I claim the car is dependable. With better than average gas mileage, 26 to 28 (with my light foot). With the low running costs, low purchase price, and good dependability, I claim a Ford Escape is a great deal, great value for the money.

I like the drive assist features such as blind spot indicators, parking sensors, and rear camera to make driving safer. The size is a good size with ample storage room for all of our stuff on short and long trips. It was pleasant to drive for the first 50,000. The engine has had frequent issues and recalls including needing to be in the shop for months at a time more than once when under warranty. When it has had other issues, we have had difficulty getting appointments for service. Fuel efficiency is not even close to what was advertised which is one of the reasons we went with this model.
