  LOVE IT - 2003 Ford Escape
  By denise wong - March 1 - 6:10 pm

  I not only have 4 kids, but a dog too, My sons love to borrow it to go skiing, daughter just recently learned to drive in it. I have a screen repair business and with the seats down there so much room I can even haul the big screen doors. The comfort is great I take my dog to work each morning and he loves all the room. I get a lot of compliments on how it looks. I plan on keeping it for a long time. I totally think its an awesome vehicle. I have recommended it to several family members and friends. I love my Ford Escape.

  You usually get a few pits with cherries - 2003 Ford Escape
  By newsuvdriverman - January 14 - 7:45 am

  Recent purchase. Im (initially) very favorably impressed with the package. Good power (I dont remember the 89 Sables 3.0V6 having this much OOMPH to it -- or dual cams/24 valves either). Steady ride, smooth handling, and good braking. So far, the gas mileage seems A-ok. This vehicle is just the right height for ease of entry, exit without any strain, or backache. The seat adjusts very well for the driver. This has a "throaty" sound that feedbacks through the cabin to let you know that youre driving a SUV thats got some zip potential. The turning radius is good, and visibility is very good. The vehicle looks very good, and sits very well. Options are all very nice. I strongly recommend it.

  0000 - 2003 Ford Escape
  By mildred funk - January 3 - 10:13 pm

  So far this suv drives well. Handles well behind the wheel. Im short, so its easy for me to get in an out of. Gets good gas mileage. I dont like the wiper control by the shift bar at all. Love the power it has. Gets up an go. I love opening the doors, with ease. Stops on a dime.

  Only one complaint - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Dan - January 2 - 2:33 pm

  I have had no problems with the car except that it is not that great in the snow with the original tires. I recently put on all terrain tires and now it is great in the snow. I have put about 50,000 miles on it in two years and I have not had a single problem!

  A Fun SUV - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Thedriver - December 26 - 10:00 am

  The Ford Escape has lived up to my expectations and has been a great vehicle. The engine is powerful enough to climb the grapevine at 70 MPH, leaving the large behemouth SUV class behind. The AWD transmission is solid.

  2002 Ford Escape - 2003 Ford Escape
  By pipelineguy - October 18 - 2:00 am

  Interior could use less plastic - needs padded arm rests/door panels. Overall a fun vehicle to drive. Gas mileage is decent. The only problem Ive had in 7000 miles is a faulty wiper arm.

  Best Car I ever leased. I could not be happier. I read other peoples reviews and test drove the escape. It rides even better then I thought it would.
