  Love my Escape! - 2003 Ford Escape
  By ccoccia - May 9 - 10:00 am

  Overall, the Ford Escape is a great buy for the money. After totalling my Explorer in 02, I was hesitant to go to a smaller vehicle but have been extremely happy for over a year now. I feel safe and confident in the Escape... sitting up higher in traffic than a car (for visibility reasons) with a lot of interior room.

  Escape is fun to drive - smooth riding, transmission is smooth, and has power in the 6cylinder.

  New Ownder - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Beth AA - March 7 - 10:00 am

  I just bought my Escape a few weeks ago. I did a lot of research before my purchase and am very happy with my decision. I took it on its first road trip and it did great! I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking to buy a Mini SUV.

  Escape (FUN) - 2003 Ford Escape
  By fusion4you - March 2 - 10:00 am

  The escape is the perfect "SUV" for a family of 5. My personal vehicle is a F150 Harley-Davidson...so I take this thing out for fun. The 3.0 V6 and its small size make it fun to drive.

  LOVE IT - 2003 Ford Escape
  By denise wong - March 1 - 6:10 pm

  I not only have 4 kids, but a dog too, My sons love to borrow it to go skiing, daughter just recently learned to drive in it. I have a screen repair business and with the seats down there so much room I can even haul the big screen doors. The comfort is great I take my dog to work each morning and he loves all the room. I get a lot of compliments on how it looks. I plan on keeping it for a long time. I totally think its an awesome vehicle. I have recommended it to several family members and friends. I love my Ford Escape.

  0000 - 2003 Ford Escape
  By mildred funk - January 3 - 10:13 pm

  So far this suv drives well. Handles well behind the wheel. Im short, so its easy for me to get in an out of. Gets good gas mileage. I dont like the wiper control by the shift bar at all. Love the power it has. Gets up an go. I love opening the doors, with ease. Stops on a dime.

  A Fun SUV - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Thedriver - December 26 - 10:00 am

  The Ford Escape has lived up to my expectations and has been a great vehicle. The engine is powerful enough to climb the grapevine at 70 MPH, leaving the large behemouth SUV class behind. The AWD transmission is solid.

  2002 Ford Escape - 2003 Ford Escape
  By pipelineguy - October 18 - 2:00 am

  Interior could use less plastic - needs padded arm rests/door panels. Overall a fun vehicle to drive. Gas mileage is decent. The only problem Ive had in 7000 miles is a faulty wiper arm.
