Overview & Reviews

Additional standard equipment makes the 2002 Ford Escape an even better value. XLS models get a dual-media cassette/CD stereo, while XLT adds a V6 engine, privacy glass, power driver seat and an in-dash six-CD changer. New Sport packages also debut. The XLS Sport includes 15-inch alloy wheels with larger tires, side-step bars, Sport-embroidered floor mats and dark tinted privacy glass. The XLT Sport, new for 2002, provides, in addition to XLS Sport equipment, a special No Boundaries roof rack system and unique 16-inch alloy wheels with meatier rubber. Four new colors are also available.

• Strong V6 engine, comfortable cabin, plenty of cargo space, car-like road manners.

• Lacks the off-road capability of a truck-based SUV, barely adequate base engine, shoddy build quality, unimpressive interior materials.

  Love my - 2002 Ford Escape
  By gravesa94 - April 29 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle lives up to every promise Ford makes. The handling is excellant, power is more than sufficient, options are wonderful. Never had a problem with it. the construction is very solid, as when a gentleman opened up his VERY large oldsmobile door on the right side of the vehicle, my passengers and I did not even feel a bump. I went all out with the options and extras, and am very glad I did. It is a very fun truck to drive, but doesnt feel at all like you are driving a truck...handles just like a car.

  ford escape fun to drive - 2002 Ford Escape
  By gsegna - April 24 - 2:00 am

  I decided to purchase the 6 cylinder 2002 ford escape after one trial ride. It is comfortable, has quick aceleration, a smooth ride, and handled very well in a couple of scary situations. I like my vehicles to have all the accessories.The price I paid ffor this vehicle would have cost me hungreds of dollars more in the Honda crv and the Rav4, the only other suvs I was interested in.

  More for your Money - 2002 Ford Escape
  By Tatjana - April 17 - 2:00 am

  This car is more than what you are bargaining for - the price is right. You will not be disappointed in this car (rated best SUV for 2002). Its fun and yields about 300 mi per tank in the city. Very reliable and fun. Easy to drive due to its midsize shape. Its outer design is modern, simple and sporty. The car for those young professionals that want to make a good investment ....

  By tabouelle - March 5 - 2:00 am

  I was impressed by its good behavior on the road, even at speed around 90-100 mph. It does much better than the other SUVs I have driven. Inside fabrics and materials looks good and solid.

  New to 4 wheel drive - 2002 Ford Escape
  By LeoH - November 10 - 10:00 am

  Moving from a Taurus SHO to this little SUV was a learning experience. It runs well and is quick. It pulls the trailer well also. Having to pull the headrests out to drop the back seat is a pain (Where do I store the head rests). It is a little bouncy on rough roads but otherwise rides well. "There aint nuthin rong with the radio."

  Best Small SUV - 2002 Ford Escape
  By RYAN2525 - July 4 - 2:00 am

  After test driving many small to medium suvs I was compelled to purchase the Ford Escape. Everything from the styling to the ride was above par and beat out the competition. As a college student the escape makes the perfect vehicle to transport friends and luggage.

  Good ride! - 2002 Ford Escape
  By Paul Sander - March 6 - 10:13 am

  I traded my explorer for the Escape. I couldnt be more satisfied. Better mileage, more reliable and fun to drive. V6 is a must. Front wheel drive makes the 4x4 a luxury. Has as much interior room as the explorer. You do lose soom space in the back cargo area. Very good value.
