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.

    Great running, fun to drive. Plenty of room for cargo. Mileage is good as I beat it up and down the highway at 80 with the air on and get 23-24 miles per gallon. If stayed of the pedal Im sure I could get better. Great American car! I would highly recommend.

    Ive had my 2004 escape since last september. It drove very well through a lot of snow this past winter. I am a little disappointed with the gas milage gettin 18 mpg up until 10000 miles and now it seems to be staying at 20 mpg. This is with a lot of city driving. The only problem Ive had only happened a couple of times. When trying to start the car, if it did not start on the first key turn I had to pump the gas to get it started. Overall I am happy with the car. The drivers seat is very uncomfortable on long drives but it is used mostly to work and back and to shuttle the kids. My husband doesnt like riding in it because of the small size.

    Had a 2002 Escape. My daughter was broadsided, and the vehicle was totaled, but she had no injuries thanks to the side air bags. Loved the styling, dependability and price of the Escape, so we bought a 2004.

    We have had our Escape for less than a month. We purchased it basically after checking Consumers Guide, Edmunds, etc. So far, we are very happy with everything about this vehicle. We are getting about 25 mpg. on long distance driving. Ford always knows how to please the consumer.

  • love it! - 2004 Ford Escape

    I had a 95 4X4 blazer that had to go. I researched 16 different SUVs of this size and/or compatability. I really wanted bigger but needed to stay under 30K. I have 2boys and 2Labs so I needed a rugged vehicle that would wear well. The CRV, Xterra, Rodeo, Montero, and Blazer couldnt even compare. few flaws but Fordsll never be perfect, otherwise itd be a Dodge!
