  Great SUV - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Superfueler - October 17 - 10:00 am

  I bought the Ford Escape as a replacement for my 96 VW Golf. I wanted something that was a bit bigger on the inside, was better in the snow, and was more truck-like. The Escape was the perfect match. It has awesome power with the V6, goes great in the snow, has awesome brakes, roomy in the inside, and looks more macho than the RAV-4 or CRV. It also rides more like a car than a truck, unlike the Explorer.

  I think this car is really great. It has good mileage and is very comfy. I like the way it is built and I am sure you will like it and its price.

  By Bite me, Chevy boy - April 30 - 2:00 am

  This is our first SUV, and were extremely pleased with it so far. Weve had it three months, and have nearly 6,000 miles already. Its a blast to drive because of its willing engine and capable handling. We love how it sounds, how it smells, how it feels, and how it looks. We highly recommend this vehicle (especially with the Appearance Package).

  real escape review - 2003 Ford Escape
  By KWR71839 - April 18 - 10:00 am

  Having an escape as my first car, i was a little skeptical at first. But getting behind the wheel makes me feel safe and in control. With the engine of a large SUV and the size of a compact, this car has some definite power if you know how to use it. Not a difficult ride, smooth and enjoyable. The escape is a definite recommendation for a test drive.

  Unbelievably Powerful - 2003 Ford Escape
  By SUV MMan - March 12 - 10:00 am

  I came out of a 1997 Isuzu Trooper and I could not be happier. The Escape combines a great interior with outstanding handling and performance. I looked at a Jeep Liberty and I could not believe how cheap the vehicle was made. I still have headaches thinking about the shoddy workmanship with the plastic trim that is glued onto the body.

  I LOVE IT! - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Pprecious - March 7 - 10:00 am

  This SUV is awesome. It does not feel top heavy. It drives like the perfect car, with enough room to haul what I need. Would not trade it for anything.

  By Angela23456 - March 7 - 10:00 am

  Teh Ford Escape has been a wonderful car to drive. It gets fairly good gas mileage and handles very well in all driving situations. Was very comfortable for my fiance and I along with our beagle to make a drive to Atlanta. I highly recommend this SUV for anyone that wants a small car that can hold its own with the big guys.

  Jamies Review of Ford Escape - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Brayah - March 7 - 10:00 am

  This small SUV has been perfect for me and my new son. My husband has his man truck and I have my cute little "truck". I would recommend the Ford Escape to any potential vehicle buyer who is looking for a small SUV.
