Fun to drive and easy to park - 2006 Ford Escape
By camguy - July 15 - 8:02 pmThis small SUV is by far my favorite vehicle. I always liked the Mercury version (Mariner) but decided to look at the Escape since it was basically the same with a slightly different look and was a few grand less. Well I loved the ride. Cant say anything bad about the car.

Sweet Ride - 2006 Ford Escape
By rich - July 14 - 9:46 pmGreat family hauler. Switching from 2 door Explorer. Wanted convenience of 4 doors. Handles like a car and looks like a truck. Comfortable seating and attractive interior. Acceptable gas mileage. Much cooler than the Honda CR-V. Great ride so far. My wife and I both love to drive it.

......good for the money - 2006 Ford Escape
By teendriver - June 25 - 1:38 amI have driven the Jeep Liberty and the Escape cant even compare to the Jeep. The Escape seems more...finished and sturdy. it is easy to drive and I dont feel like Im going to top over every time I turn. Get the upgraded sound package because it sounds great! The moonroof makes driving even more fun. Compared to other suvs I guess its good on gas but I put $85 already in this week so its not great. i dont suggest the 4 cylinder...it could use little more pep!

ESCAPER - 2006 Ford Escape
By Greg - May 27 - 7:05 pmLots of fun to drive. My wife loves it. The only fault I can find is the comfort of the drivers seat and limited movement of the tilt wheel.

Ford Escape - 2006 Ford Escape
By Ford Escape - May 4 - 1:00 pmWe really like our Escape. It is fun to drive. We would like it better if it were just a little bit bigger. At least big enough so five people could ride in it and be comfortable. We could get five people in it but the one in the middle of the back seat wouldnt be really comfortable. Also we would like it better if the doors locked automatically when the vehicle is started. This is a feature that we think should be added. Overall we are pleased with our Escape. Of course we havent had it long enough or driven it enough miles to encounter any major problems. I hope it is reliable enough that we never have any major problems with it. Time will tell.

Fun SUVette - 2006 Ford Escape
By HA - April 18 - 8:30 pmLooked at several of the smaller SUVs and got this one based on the FORD name, safety packages and mileage. It came with the leather package and the sun and sound package for free, I am assuming in response to the many complaints of inferior interior design. The better stereo is great and the sunroof is nice too. Do not like the center console and cup holder placement though. Engine is surprisingly responsive considering it is only a 4 cylinder.

Great SUV - 2006 Ford Escape
By Lorie Styles - April 8 - 6:25 amI purchased this truck because of the quality I heard from friends. It is a compact SUV with lots of room and such a smooth ride. My mother has health problems and it was easy for her to enter and exit the vehicle with little effort!
