Overview & Reviews
Changes are minor on the 2007 Ford Escape. There's a new Silver Appearance Package that provides a variety of silver metallic exterior accents. Besides that, the XLT Sport model switches from two-tone to monochromatic exterior paint and keypad entry is standard on XLT Sport and Limited models. Finally, Ford has increased its powertrain warranty coverage to five years/60,000 miles for all '07 models.
- Comfortable seating front and rear, ample cargo capacity, handsome styling.
- So-so acceleration with either engine, disappointing fuel economy with V6, choppy ride quality, no stability control.

Little blue rocks - 2007 Ford Escape
By Grant - December 20 - 10:34 pmThis is my first new car and so far I love it, its so smooth and so easy to drive its unreal after all it is an SUV. Ive tested many small utes Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, etc. - its the best of the bunch - not quite as many features as the Tucson but the Escape is quick and zippy and gets just as good gas mileage as the rest. The inside is simple could be better but works for me. The only weird thing so far is when turning it turns great in big turns but in really shallow turns its kind of hard on your wrist.

Fun Car - 2007 Ford Escape
By Jenn - December 16 - 9:50 amI love my 2007 Escape. Its fun to drive, looks sharp and I get a lot of comments on it. The only thing I would change is the dashboard. I prefer digital info on the radio, such as temp, fuel range, etc. but that is not an option on mine. I would also put more numbers on the speedometer. Its a little difficult to tell if I am driving 65 or 70 because of the limited numbers listed.. Other than that, I am very happy with my vehicle.

fun car to own - 2007 Ford Escape
By jas1230 - December 8 - 7:22 pmI got this car because I needed an suv to haul horse feed and my lab around in. The Escape fits my needs and is a great on gas mileage. Has plenty of cargo space for 300 pounds of feed and a 95 pound dog and still handles great and has plenty of get up and go left in it.

Better Than the Explorer Sport - 2007 Ford Escape
By steve - December 3 - 7:32 pmI got rid of my Explorer Sport and replaced it with the Escape Sport. Love to drive it. Great pick up. The air conditioner could be a little bit more powerful. All other Fords I have owned had great air. Live in Texas and cold air is a must. Great little SUV. Hope it holds up to the 100 round trip commute I have daily.

Escape from low MPG BIG SUV - 2007 Ford Escape
By Jamel - November 29 - 6:49 pmBought new Escape for my wife since we just had a baby girl. Sold my 2003 Ford Focus and 1996 V6 Mustang to get it. Gets great MPG for an suv 25mpg overall so far with only 500 miles on it. Shifts great. Ride is nice and high for only having 15 inch wheels. Love this car makes me want to trade in my 06 Ranger and get a matching Escape. Great SUV love it.

Smart Purchase - 2007 Ford Escape
By John - October 13 - 11:57 amPurchased my Escape under protest. Traded in my Dodge Quad Cab 4x4 Hemi to shut up my wife. Got tired of hearing about the high cost of ownership. Well, I should listen to my wife more often. Not as macho as a hemi but cut my expenses in half (payment, gas, insurance). Fun to drive and easier to park. I bought it with a stick shift to spite my wife. Didnt work. She thinks its fun to drive too. If gas hits $5 a gallon, Im ready.

I love My New Escape - 2007 Ford Escape
By Anglea - September 26 - 6:08 pmI had a 2005 Escape 4 cylinder and wasnt as satisfied. The 2007 6 cylinder is a much smoother ride and quieter engine. I also like the darker tint on the windows and the 6 CD sound system. So far, I am very happy with my vehicle and I am still excited about the service that I received at my dealership. There doesnt seem to be as much brake dust build up.

I really like it! - 2007 Ford Escape
By First time Ford - September 1 - 9:06 amThis is my first Ford so I was a little apprehensive and I also went from a V6 to a 4 cylinder, but it has more power than I expected and Im enjoying the gas mileage. Its quite roomy for a compact SUV and the new warranty made the sale. I really like the styling and I like that it handles like a car, but youre riding up high like a truck. As a single person its what I need - the look and feel of an SUV without the enormous price of one.

Great small SUV - 2007 Ford Escape
By Jerry R - August 30 - 6:38 amThe Escape is a relatively inexpensive, fun-to-drive small SUV that also happens to get pretty decent gas mileage. It has more cargo room than I had anticipated which has been a very welcome surprise.
