This is my Second Escape, My 2008 saved my life.
Source: Cars.com

..."These Escapes are realy solidly put togeter. They have a full frame giving a feeling you are in a truck.
I am realy thankful for this because I had a 2008 that was in a major accident.
Whithout question, the Escape saved my life. I walked away with no injurys. I have now bought a 2010 and enjoy it immensly pulling a trailer that is 3500 lbs without any trouble."...

Best SUV ever
Source: Cars.com

...I found my '05 escape limited and fell in love with it. Love the leather interior, the reverse warning system. It handles like a dream. Not big and bulky like a full size suv more like a tall car. Very roomy and comfortable. This is my first ford, I usually buy imports but by far one of the best vehicles I have every owned. Will be keeping this until a new body style comes out for the escape and then I will buy another one. If you are looking for a great compact suv then this is the one for you. Can't wait for the snow. Bring it on, me and my escape are ready. :)"...

Escape With Sport Appearance Package and Sync
Source: Cars.com

..."What can I say! This Escape is black with black and silver wheels.
It is so hot! The Sport Appearance Package really gives it an aggressive look.
The Sync feature is so awesome too. It can play your Ipod or answer your phone and you don't have to take your hands off the wheel. You just tell it what to do and it's done!"...

Not Bad, Body Style Getting Stale ( Time For Redesign )
Source: CarGurus

...vehicle drive train two wheel / all wheel drive,unlike my 2004 which is all wheel drive / locked four wheel drive.
240 hp 3.0 v6 quite peppy. not sure i like the six speed auto trans and shifter only allows drive and low positions.
i do not think i will bring this on the beach. redesigned engine intake and a lot more chrome on this car over my 2004, body style and size the same as my 2004.
MAIN PROBLEM IS VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THAT DEVELOPED RESENTLY...

Our Escape
Source: MSN Autos

...There really is much we don't like. It is great little vehicle and will most likely get another when the time comes. Cons: Seats could be a little more comfy Overall: This was a one owner vehicle with mostly highway miles. We purchased it with a 129K on it and people who look at it and drive with us can't believe it has that many miles. Our son drives it back and forth to college and it is performing well. We have only had it a few months and are pushing 135k right now. My son has informed me that when the time comes to upgrade he wants the Escape. Great mileage, good size, fun to drive, way...

I can't wait to buy another escape
Source: Cars.com

..."I owned my Escape for 4 years and can only say good things about it.
We only changed over to a minivan to fit more people, but once I'm done with that car I plan to go back to another Escape.
The power was great, the all wheel drive got us out of a lot of issues, probably more than we were aware of. My newer Corolla (with fewer miles) had more costlier repairs than my Escape had."...

Great buy
Source: Cars.com

...I have taken it off roading and it felt like I was on a road with a few bumps, even though it was on back roads and fields in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. My fuel efficiency right now is about 25.5 miles per gallon. After going on a few trips with me in mine, a couple of my friends went out and got one for themselves. No complaints from them on thier Escape purchases yet. Mine has been used for commuting, family drives, towing, off-roading, and even helping a friend move. The back seats fold down completely flat and created an area about 6' long by 4' wide by 3' high. Like having a pickup...

A great American vehicle
Source: Cars.com

..."I love my new (used) Escape. Although it is not perfect, it is a great option for those wanting to buy American.
I lost 4,000 on another brand of small SUV because it was a poor decision on my part.
As poor as that decision was, my Escape decision was just the opposite.
I paid $10,600 for this vehicle with 53,000 miles, 4WD, Sunroof (no hitch/towing package) and it was the best of all of the alternatives.
I did look at some 'dogs' as I was searching for this vehicle so make sure you do your research before accepting one.
This one as the others does have an unknown...

Luxury SUV for Little Money
Source: Cars.com

...It's very comfortable seating, stylish and has great features in the Limited Edition. I didn't want anything other than the limited because of the additional features it offered such as leather seats, "bun warmers", chrome detailing, ambience interior lighting, fog lights, active sync for hands free phone operation, exterior pin striping, sun roof, and more. I love having the audio controls on the steering wheel. That's a great feature. All the luxuries that normally come with a higher priced vehicle. It rides smooth and has a lot of get up when on the freeway. Never thought I'd like the...

Why should I also consider these?

Don't get penned in by the Escape's conservative look; it competes head-on with a variety of compact crossovers, some of which are sleek and rakish.

One of those is the Nissan Rogue.

The Rogue doesn't even pretend to be tough or off-road-worthy; it's a tall wagon, with space for five, good ride quality, and a fuel-efficient four-cylinder powertrain.

The Hyundai Tucson looks a little more carlike than the Escape, but it's one of the least refined in the group; it's due for a complete redesign later this year.

The Honda CR-V is one of our all-time favorites, if you only look at the driving experience, but some people have a hard time getting past the SUV's styling and the lack of optional V-6 power.

Subaru's Forester became significantly larger for 2009, and it's now a roomier alternative to the Escape, with a nice, smooth ride and responsive handling.

Finally, the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox has been redesigned and is now a much better vehicle than before, with a vastly improved interior, plus a smooth, economical four-cylinder base engine and six-speed automatic transmission.

 
2009 Chevrolet Equinox
With mediocre handling and fuel economy, the 2009 Chevrolet Equinox isn’t that appealing, but it still offers superior cabin space.
 
2009 Subaru Forester
It’s significantly improved this year, but the 2009 Subaru Forester remains a unique all-wheel-drive crossover with less power and fewer features, but better carlike handling, than its competition.
 
2008 Honda CR-V
The 2008 Honda CR-V doesn't have hip style or performance on tap, but it has the security, utility, and frugality that many sensible moms want.
 
2008 Hyundai Tucson
The 2008 Hyundai Tucson no longer stands out in its class for performance or safety, but it’s still a great value.
 
2008 Nissan Rogue
With the 2009 Nissan Rogue, the crossover market gets another right-sized entry that’s just a little tighter inside than the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.
