  Jeannes Review - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Jeanne1971 - January 24 - 10:00 am

  Just 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 am

  I 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 am

  I 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 = ).

  Good Choice - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Turnerpj - January 24 - 10:00 am

  This is a great vehicle for a young family. We have enough room for small children, plus all the cargo we have to hall around with them! In addition, since it is a smaller SUV it is great for parking and easy to handle. It is a really sturdy vehicle though. The only aspect I would change is to make the doors a bit more solid. They are safe, but very light and sometimes you have to really slam them to get them to click. Overall though, a great purchase for us!

  Ford Escape, a good buy? - 2003 Ford Escape
  By HeatherC - January 24 - 10:00 am

  I bought my Escape after having my daughter. I needed a bigger car & a car that was good in the snow. I liked the look of the Escape so I looked into it & ended up buying one. I am pleased with my purchase. I did however have some problems with it. A couple months after buying it, the gears wouldnt shift properly. I brought it in & the computer needed to be updated. Then my tires needed to be replaced. Overall, the Escape is a nice, reliable car, but if you are looking for a car that is great on gas, this may not be the car for you.

  LOVE MY ESCAPE - 2003 Ford Escape
  By JANET - January 24 - 10:00 am

  I 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 am

  We 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!
