Pros: Electric-only cruising (stealth mode)! Excellent SUV mileage. Good performance/acceleration. Unique vehicle (for now).
Cons: Price. No sunroof option. ICE has to run when on defrost due to A/C compressor.
Bottom Line:
Recommended based on 4-month/6,000 km driving experience to date. Excellent performance and mileage for an SUV; stealth (electric-only) mode is wonderful and meets/exceeds Ford's advertised performance. Read More

Pros: Agile handling, smooth ride, great V6, easy entry/exit, lots of room, trip computer, sound system
Cons: Smallish fuel tank, no manual transmission option with the V6 (STILL), Limited's limited color selection
Bottom Line:
The Escape's combination of comfort, handling, utility, and substantial feel still make it the top choice in the small SUV category. Read More

Pros: Looks better than 2004, feels solid/safe, decent gas mileage.
Cons: Gauge cluster ugly, stereo controls confusing, ultra-cheap floor mats, scary fuel gauge.
Bottom Line:
We thought all SUVs were evil until we met the Escape, now we know that some SUVs are of a good useful size without having to be environmental nightmares. Read More
