Review 1 of 278

Price Paid:  $26000.00

Year / Model Reviewed:
2008 Ford Escape XLT

Summary:
Love this truck!! I had a 3rd seat Explorer for 6 years and loved that. This new truck is amazing - handles sooo smooth. Get the audiophile - it is sharp and the sun and satellite package is a must.

Year / Model Reviewed:
2008 Ford Escape XLT

Summary:
This is the first car I have actually purchased (making payments of course) on my own. I received the A-Plan discount so I got a great deal. To put it plain I love my car. I have installed 2 cerwin vega strokers and 2 4000W mono block amps in the back along with a tv in the dash coming this week. The ride is so smooth and it does better on gas than any car I have ever had. The gloss black paint looks super sharp after I clean it. Rims are coming next and after that I will never want to get out of this car. I have nothing but good things to say about this car!

Strengths:
Everything about it, wonderful car!

Weaknesses:
The black gets dirty easy (but what black car doesnt?)

Year / Model Reviewed:
2008 Ford Escape XLT

Summary:
Ford Escape XLT w/Sun & Satellite, 17" Mag Wheels, Leather Package, Comfort & Convenience Package, Roof Rack, 6CD Changer w/AUX input, Cargo Package, 4wd V6 3.1cylinder

Overall a very nice vehicle, I definitely would opt for the leather interior and the mag wheels, it gives it a little more class as the cloth interior is a bit tacky. Easy controls, nicely placed for driver & passenger access ... tons of room and not as clunky & plasticy as I thought the interior would be ... I definitely recommend it for folks who want a nice smaller SUV, that is subtle but classy, and handles tight.

You can easily baegin this vehicle down from MSRP and even invoice price, my XLT was listed at 23,400 base, 28,600 with the upgrades and I got them down to 24,500 with invoice at 25,000 as equipped.

Ford has a 2000 cash back incentive which with about 3,000 of my own cash down the payments via Ford are around 450 at 7.9% obviously you can refinance at a lower rate later.

Strengths:
Sun & Satellite Package, Leather Interior, handles smoothly on a truck chassis to avoid the awkward "feel like I'm about to roll over" feel you get in other SUVs, 12mo sirius membership, aux in for ipod

Weaknesses:
Mats are a bit lacking in size and quality, but I just purchase 45 dollar all weather mats -- I don't have many complaints yet it's a great car at a great price

Price Paid:  $24600.00

Year / Model Reviewed:
2008 escape

Summary:
Ecellent! Ford got it right on this one. It's a great 4x4 at a great price. I was concidering a few other s.u.v but we're happy with our chouice and the price was outstanding (alot of bang for the buck) this is the third one I've owned so far.

Strengths:
great appointments and more car for the money. never a problem just routine maintanance.

Weaknesses:
Could use more cargo room, but i guess thats the charm of this vehicle. It's size I didnt want a full size truck.

Similar Products Used:
I looked at the rav 4 the kia and the crv. The rav 4 and the crv are way over rated just not a good value.In my oppinion the Escape was a much better buy.

Review 5 of 278

Price Paid:  $27000.00 from Fourlane Ford

Year / Model Reviewed:
2008 Ford Escape, LTD, 4x4

Summary:
Great vehicle. Love the leather, and sirrius radio. Good gas mileage. Increadible traction in snow, and great off road ablility while maintaining good on road handling. This little SUV gives the feel of a big rig, until you get into tight spaces such as a parking lot, then it turns on a dime and makes parking in tight spaces a breeze. The V6 makes good power (200 hp) but I tow a 16ft camper trailer, and could use a bit more power. The 2009 have 220 HP, and that should solve the horse power concern. The only other complaint I have is with the after market parts. There are very few places to purchase after market parts, such as Cat Back Exhaust, chrome door handles etc. maybe they just need time to catch up. This is a great vehicle, much better than I expected

Strengths:
Style, comfort, gas mileage, traction, comfort.

Weaknesses:
poor after market support.
