This Year's Model Updates:

The 2004 Ford Escape remains largely unchanged although the price has been lowered on the plush Limited model and certain appearance packages are now available on lower trim levels which, in effect, reduce the final price. Also, Chrome Yellow is no longer a color choice. To eliminate confusion, trim levels and option packages have been consolidated.

Pros:
  • Powerful V6, large cargo capacity, comfortable interior, carlike handling.
Cons:
  • Weak standard four-cylinder engine, bland interior design, small gas tank size limits range.

    I have had my Escape for the last six months with some 11000 milesw on the odometer. It is a very good car for two senior citizens. Easy to enter and quick on the freeway. We could just contain enough equipment for three months in Florida. We could easily climb western mountains in the rockies as well.Themilage on the west was 27 mpg.

  • Escape Limited is great - 2004 Ford Escape

    I have a 2004 Escape Limited FWD with Luxury Comfort Package(heated seats and mirrors, upgraded audio and reverse sensors) and Moonroof. This car is a blast to drive. When you floor it from a stop the tires squeal - its got plenty of power! Of course my driving style may be part of why the FE is not as good as I might like: Im getting just under 20MPG. I love the exterior looks and styling. I also drove the CRV, Santa Fe and Liberty and found none could compare to this combination of luxury and fun to drive.

    I love the way it looks and the way it handles. I feel very safe behind the wheel of my Escape and have been very pleased so far. The only problem I can think of, is that the gas tank is too small. I understand that SUVs arent that great on mileage, but if the tank was larger, I wouldnt feel like Im at the gas station every 3,4 days. Other than that...I LOVE IT!

    Picked up my 2004 Escape Limited (silver exterior, black interior) in Sept. 2003 and it has been a great vehicle thus far. The ride is smooth and I really feel connected to the road while I am driving. A nice, classy design to boot. The leather interior is top-notch, and the MACH stereo system is far and away better than my brothers stereo on his 2003 Eddie Bauer Explorer. Love the heated seats!

    I love my Ford Escape. I bought it 6 months ago. I am a Home Health Nurse and enjoy driving my SUV. Its comfort and realiability cant be beat. I have a 22 month old grandson and feel he is safe in the back seat with the lockdowns. I have plenty room for my nursing supplies in the back. It is the perfect vehicle for me
