Jim,
We've got a 2010 and really like it. No problems, thus far.

Re: Your experience with a Ford Escape ?
Jimmy, my Mom & Dad have had a new one for just under a year now and love it. It gets great gas milage so I might be pulling in your driveway with it about mid October.
I've worked on many of them at our shop and there a good car, I can't think of anything to kick them about.

Re: Your experience with a Ford Escape ?
We bought one in Feb of last year and have slightly over 12k on it. 4 cylinder auto with 4wd.get 27 mpg on the highway. Really like the traction control and stability system. The only problem we have had is that we live half mile down a dirt road and if you don't open the tailgate glass and clean around the edges every few weeks it will leak in the rain or when washing.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
you are part of the problem!!!

John,
Ain't it fun living 1/2 mile down a dirt road. Ahh, the dust and the mud.

Re: Your experience with a Ford Escape ?
We have had an '09 since Christmas '08, bought her new. Four cylinder, two wheel drive. We really like it. You have to wind it up pretty tight to get it up to speed quickly (after all it's a four cylinder) but once you're up to cruising speed it just hums right along and the mileage has been good-around 28-29mpg.

Re: Your experience with a Ford Escape ?
My wife drives a 07 Escape. 4 cylinder, 2 wheel drive, around 28 mpg highway. Bought it in 08 with around 15,000 on it. It now has 95,000. The only thing that has happened is the paint is coming off the front plastic bumper. An easy fix just has not made it to the top of the list yet.

Re: Your experience with a Ford Escape ?
Hey Jim,
I can't speak to the mechanics on the Ford Escape, (and I'm not a Ford fan anyway), but I can tell you these little things are build pretty tough from a crash safety standpoint. A few years ago I rear-ended a stopped Escape at 50 mph, and both drivers--me and the driver of the Escape--walked away without a scratch or a bruise. Even though both vehicles were totalled, (I was driving a 6-month old Toyota Matrix), and it was smashed in the front all the way to the fire wall. The Escape was crumpled in the back, but otherwise the driver's compartment was completely intact.
For what it's worth.....see you soon!

I found this old Cub, Forgotten and Forlorn,
With pistons and valves frozen and worn.
Help from my buddies on Farmallcub.com,
And an engine from Ralph, (37’s the one),
Now ole Corky is running and back to life,
Much to the surprise of my dear, dear wife!
