Jeannes Review - 2003 Ford Escape
By Jeanne1971 - January 24 - 10:00 amJust bought it, cant say too much other than so far so good. It handles well, sits up nice and high, has a kick A*S stereo, nice amount of room on the inside, and is just cute. Havent had to fill up yet, so couldnt tell ya much about the mileage, etc. Now days, small cars are expensive to fill up! I would recommend this to anyone who may be seeking more room inside the vehicle. Its bigger but not overly big.

I owned one - 2003 Ford Escape
By pete55 - January 24 - 10:00 amI owned one for about 8 months. I loved it. It goes in the snow like no other car I have ever driven. It was roomy, and comfy. I had it decked out, but I would not recommend the running boards for it, as they get your pants dirty. I had to sell it because of a realtionship gone bad. But I miss driving it. I think Ford did a fine job on this car. The auto 4x4 is awesome!! I was shocked on how it kicks in as needed. 3 people in my family own these and they too love them.I have a new loaded 4x4 ford truck that cannot campare to this car.

Love the car but... - 2003 Ford Escape
By AileenS - January 24 - 10:00 amI love how the Ford Escape drives. It is very spaceous and its adjustable seats are very accomodating. The SUV runs smoothly. However..I have had to take it to the dealer twice already under its warranty. The first time due to the check engine light coming on for no apparent reason and the other because it stalled on me while driving on a city street. Even with these experiences I am still satisfied with the vehicle = ).

LOVE MY ESCAPE - 2003 Ford Escape
By JANET - January 24 - 10:00 amI THINK THE ESCAPE IS THE PERFECT SUV. I ENJOY THE RIDE AS IT IS SMOOTH AND COMFORTABLE. IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE A TRUCK, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A TRUCK CAPACITY. MY PASSENGERS STATE THAT THE BACK SEAT IS ROOMY AND COMFORTABLE FOR THEM.

perfect for us - 2003 Ford Escape
By sunflowersteph - January 24 - 10:00 amWe love this smaller SUV. It handles great, the gas mileage is second to none when it comes to SUVs. For our family of 5, our Ford Escape, is a perfect car and would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a quality made car!

happy family drivers - 2003 Ford Escape
By IRISHFOUR - January 24 - 10:00 amWe had a mini van as a second car and our 21 year old son would not drive it!!! It is so nice now that we all will drive either car. Although now everyone prefers to drive the NEW ESCAPE.
