  Escape Review - 2003 Ford Escape

  Best Car I ever leased. I could not be happier. I read other peoples reviews and test drove the escape. It rides even better then I thought it would.

  THE NEW BABY! - 2003 Ford Escape
  By JTCM56 - May 2 - 10:00 am

  VERY SATISFIED WITH VEHICLE. SOLID AFTER 2 MONTHS. LOCAL AND LONG TRIPS MADE WITH NO PROBLEMS. AS REPORTED, JUST A TOUCH NOISY ON THE INTERSTATE BUT IT HANDLES LIKE A GERMAN CAR. SUPER PICKUP AND MUCH BETTER BRAKING THAN MY F150!

  Love it! - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Rai2003 - April 14 - 10:00 am

  I love my Escape! It has a peppy engine that makes driving fun. For a SUV, it gets great gas mileage. It has great cargo space, but it is not a huge SUV, so its easy to drive. Handles like a car! With all the rain and flooding lately, I have tried out the 4WD and I felt secure. It hugs the road!

  I am about to switch to a hybrid - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Claudia Schumacker - March 13 - 3:58 am

  My husband and I have traveled some fun retirement miles in our Escape Limited. I love the heated leather seats. We are ready to make the big switch to the hybrid. Gas prices are awful and I hear really good things about this Escape. The car is loaded and very comfortable on our long trips. The only remotely negative feature is the stiff bumpy ride and its a little too noisy. But, I wouldnt trade it for any other SUV.

  So far... so good! - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Kleinzle - March 3 - 6:52 pm

  Went from an Acura Sedan to the Escape because I really wanted a 4 wheel drive. Definitely fun to drive and I love sitting high up now! Husband complains about the hard leather but I think its pretty comfy. I finally am looking forward to a good snow storm!

  This Thang Aint No Joke - 2003 Ford Escape
  By Cherbox - January 24 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle Sept 2000 when they first came out. I have driven in the snow, but the snowstorm of 2003 proved to me "This Thang Aint No Joke". I had no problem pulling out of piles of snow and I have to drive on the prkwy and I put this sucker into 4x4 and made it safely home.

  A good little SUV - 2003 Ford Escape
  By jaychuk - January 24 - 2:00 am

  I have had this vehicle for a bout a month now, and I still love driving it. We also have a GMC Jimmy in the family and I like driving the Escape even better. It handles great on ice and snow (which is very important here in the Great White NOrth).
