This car has met my e very need in a vehicle. I wish I could afford another one.

For as old as my car is, it still runs good and is in great shape. I love the way it handles and rides. The only thing I could say against this car is I wish it was more quiet, even with the windows rolled up it's still too loud.

Ford Escape . . . another great product from Ford!!!

I drove my 2005 Ford Escape for 11 years and 241,000 miles. This vehicle was one of the best Ford vehicles I ever owned. Talk about getting your mileage out of a Ford!!! Now I have a 2015 Focus. Love this car, also. What a great ride. Worked at Ford, Chrysler and G.M. Hands down, I always wind up buying a Ford. The best company in the USA to buy a car. I only buy American cars and Ford is my favorite!!!

They've gotten smaller since 2005

Very solid vehicle. At 93000 mi it's had brakes replaced once and tires replaced once (and still plenty of meat on them. Newer Escapes are smaller....have "car tires"...our 2005 has "light truck " tires. Would definitely have to go to a different model on a replacement vehicle (which won't be any time soon)

Wouldn't trade it for another brand name car, even a Honda!

Great car. Had it for 9 years and the biggest thing fixed were the brakes due to normal wear & tear. Happy! Happy!

Still works like a charm!

Bought this vehicle used in 2008 with about 25K miles on it. Haven't had any major problem at all, except for brake repair and tire changes, which are from normal wear and tear. Great car: big but not too big. Just a perfect fit for grandma, grandpa, 3 grandkids, and 2 dogs!

Absolutely love mine. It’s time to replace her at 223,000 miles though. The body style on the new models are UGLY. So I’ll be going with the Ford EcoSport. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Everything I need

I love this car. It’s my first one, it’s comfortable and has everything I need. I take it everywhere with my friends. It’s a good college car as well, I am able to get home safe in it. I would like to have it a few more years.

The car-love of my life

I love my 2005 Escape — it’s still going strong at 207K miles, thanks to lifelong care by a terrific mechanic shop. I’ll drive it until the wheels fall off and my rear ended is dragging on the pavement!

Amazing vehicle

My Escape is 15 years old with 160,000 miles & still humming along. It is an incredible vehicle. I have aways been able to depend on it in any kind of weather & on bad roads. I would buy another one in a minute.

Great Car

Had it for 11 years and no major problems except brake pads that wore in the normal course of use. Have enough room in back to fit two 90 lbs. Shepherd mix dogs. Looks like this car will live on longer than me!

Great basic SUV

Got this as a cheap ride to work. Hybrid is great on gas, ultra reliable and cheap to repair. It's older so doesn't have modern features, but I have other cars for that. It gets me to work and back cheaply which is all I need it to do
