It has been a great car.

I have had my FEH for almost ten years. It has so far been completely reliable. I have taken good care of it, and it has taken good care of me. I've never had a problem, I get the rated gas mileage. It has been just the car I needed for the purposes I bought it for. I'd buy another if Ford still made them, especially if they made a plug-in hybrid.

Solid car

I still love this car. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the newer ones do now days, but she is a dependable, comfortable auto.

best automobile I've ever owned

233,000 km. Most of the repairs I've had done is regular wear and tear. Only problem is the body was subject to some rust even though I had bought the protection package. I've owned mainly Ford products for the past 43 years and their cars have always been good to me.

perfect size

I went from a RAV4 to a Ford Escape and would buy another one, maybe not a new one as they are not as roomy. I was told For Escapes are a little noisy, this is true but not enough to not want to buy one.

2008 Ford Escape

I have owned several Ford Escapes (2005, 2007, 2008, 2013) and they have all been reliable vehicles even at high mileage. I make sure to perform the required services but just as specified/needed. All of mine have gone well beyond 250,000 miles before something has become serious enough for me to retire the vehicle. (I live in Michigan so the oldest actually succumbed to rust out that would have been too costly to repair.) I really like the sure footedness of the road feel, great visibility of the road, easy in-and-out access, comfortable seating and good fuel economy. If I could change one thing, it would be adding a larger fuel tank to increase driving range.

2008 Hybrid

I have had this car since 28,000 Miles and now it is closing in on 150,000. Yes it is showing its age and requiring more repair. It will be a sad day when I finally have to part with it. I can honestly say this has been the best vehicle I have owned.

I love my 2008 Ford Escape that was handed down to me by my son. When my daughter was in need of a vehicle I gave her my car and then purchased a 2009 Ford Escape. My car only has 60,000 miles and my daughter’s car has 77,000. We hope to enjoy our vehicles for many more miles ahead.

Love this car!

My escape has been an awesome little car. I drove it for 8 years and my daughter has been driving it for the past 3 years. It has ran perfectly until recently needed its hybrid battery replaced after 12 years. Still a great car!

Love My 2008 Ford Escape!

I love my 2008 Ford Escape! Bought it used with over 100,000 miles (when my previous van died unexpectedly). Admittedly, I was a little scared of what might be involved w/ a 10-year-old vehicle & wondered if it might just be an “in between” car. It’s done extremely well, & I’ve liked it so much that my mother got one & I also bought a newer model Escape for my teenage daughter (her first car). I hope to have mine for another 100,000 miles! ?

2008 Ford Escape

The 2008 Ford Escape has been a good vehicle with minimal problems and it gets decent fuel mileage. Vehicle is used as a tow vehicle behind an RV and is one of only a few vehicles that can be towed all four wheels down without modifications.

I’m Keepin’ this Baby!

I am the original owner of a 2008 Escape Limited. I originally leased it then bought it 3 years later. It has needed som odd repairs in the time I’ve owned it. Since I change the oil religiously and I love this car, I’m determined to keep it for many more years. It is a good design & handles well. I love it’s look, it’s size & convenience of its controls.

Quite possibly, unknowingly, "My DREAM Car!"

I traded in my 2000 Dodge Stratus (which, by the way, was a great car for me !), because I needed something bigger that was NOT a mini-van. I had NO idea of what to even look for. After 4 months of searching, a friend told me about the Ford Escape. I ended up purchasing a (very slightly used...10,000 miles) vehicle that had all the "bells and whistles" (for that time) on it. I have enjoyed the vehicle IMMENSELY.

Ford Escape

I had always owned Chrysler products before (except a disastrous 3-wk stint w/ a used Chevy), and they are very reliable, sturdy cars, with the exception of some recurring starter and electronic issues. My lone Ford has stood me well, overall, but has struggled with transmission issues, This may have more to do with me overloading it, but that’s been the case with all the cars I’ve had, so I’m disappointed that it’s not quite as sturdy as my Chryslers, Plymouths and Dodges have been. It’s also not quite as comfortable. I figured a vehicle (that I call a “baby SUV”) labeled as a “truck” on the registration, would have no problem being treated like a truck!

2008 Ford Escape

Really like the vehicle for the purpose we bought it for. Reasonable gas mileage and towable behind the motor home without doing anything but putting it in neutral. Sometimes the repairs are somewhat more complicated because it's a hybrid.

2008 Ford Escape

I love my Ford Escape. We did buy it 2Nd handed with alot of problems with it. Were getting them fixed little by little. Main thing is transmission. Which I've heard from other customers they to have had transmission problems with their 2008. Over all though. I love my SUV.
