"My first car was a 1997 Kia Sportage, after having that car die and missing the comfortableness of the little SUV i looked around for another SUV. I found the 2005 Ford Escape XLT Sport Utility at a used dealership and bought it about 2 weeks ago. I absolutely love it. It gets me from point a to point b and I've already put 743 miles on it. This car gets decent gas millage about 16 city and 20hwy, probably more cause it varies. But for a V6 that's not bad. Its roomy, lots of storage space, and nice. Defiantly a good buy!"

"I have enjoyed my Ford Escape. It has been the most reliable vehicle I have owned with few mechanical problems, mostly normal wear and tear. For an SUV it gets very good gas mileage, even still being over 10 years old. I will most likely buy another other one once this one has seen its better days. I recommend this vehicle if you are looking for a small, yet versitile SUV."

"I have owned this vehicle for almost 7 years, put over 200,000 miles on her and have not had major issues! Largest expense was a new alternator (approx. $450). Other than that it has been all routine maintance: oil changes, and tires. It even gets decent gas mileage, ranging on average for me at 22-24 MPG. I have moved several times in the past, and other than large pieces of furniture can fit just about everything in the vehicle, when folding the back seats, great size trunk in general too!"
