Overview & Reviews
The 2009 Ford Escape receives under-the-skin changes that complement last year's cosmetic makeover. There's more power underhood and a tweaked suspension for improved handling and ride dynamics. Ford has also added its Sync MP3 player and cell phone interface.
- Comfortable interior, peppy performance, Sync voice-control system, impressive safety scores.
- Lackluster braking compared to rivals, folding down second seat needlessly complex.
