2002 Ford Escape

Pros: Good looking, comfort, finish, nice stereo, dark window tinting and fun engine.

Cons: Poorly designed hood release, road noise at speed, bad stock tires.

The Bottom Line: This is a buy, the combination of looks, price, utility and compactness make this a nice family car. I only wish we'd been able to wait and get the hybrid.

Review: We did quite alot of research into the smaller SUV's before deciding to get the Escape. It combined all of the features we needed and had a very nice price as well.

The Escape's a good little ride. We got the XLT 2 wheel drive model with...

Pros: Horsepower, ride, handling, price, looks, upgrades, towing capacity.

Cons: Leather seats are hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Electrical gremlins.

The Bottom Line: This SUV is truly best in it's class. I could have picked any SUV, including luxury, and I loved the Escape the most.

Review: I purchased my 2002 Ford Escape XLT in Oct 2001. It is yellow with leather seats, tow package, sun/moon roof and the upgrade Mach stereo with the 6 disk in dash CD. I absolutely love this vehicle.

Reasons for buying: I test drove a PT...

Review: I traded in my Lexus - so I'm new to SUV's and American made vehicles. But I was looking for something that would give me more flexibility and was fun to drive the 2002 Escape fit the bill.

I first test drove the sister-SUV the Mazda...

Review: My wife and I are starting a family and we wanted a car that gave us the 4 doors and space in the back. A natural choice was the SUV. I have always liked ford trucks and was very happy with the one I had. However, a child seat doesn't fit well into...

Pros: V6 engine, looks, price, XLT version

Cons: Base model slow and boring

The Bottom Line: Great price for an SUV that fits in your garage and also carries everything you need.

Review: I don't actually own an escape, but I still drive them everyday. I work for Hertz Rent-A-Car and we have had the escapes now for almost a year.
When we first got the Escape's I tried them out all the time an have grown to really like the XLT...

Pros: Fantastic V6, Fun to Drive, Versatile for the City

Cons: Brake dust, Loud engine and interior, Engine 'knocking', No full-sized spare.

The Bottom Line: A lot of SUV and features with some annoying cons, but with pros that outweigh these short-comings.

Review: Well first off, my previous automobile was a used 1990 Toyota Camry, a gift at age 16. What a difference between the two. Many seasoned SUV owners probably don't realize just how much more interior space an SUV has versus the typical mid-sized...

Pros: love the size, not too big or small, cozy, alright on gas

Cons: alternators get expensive after the 4th one....

Review: We bought it new and everything was great for a while. then the alternator messed up in 04, no biggie it was under warranty so ford 'fixed' it. same thing in 06... no warranty, and it isnt easy to change the alternator the front end has to be taken...

Review: I ordered my 2002 Escape XLT in advance of the showroom opening, so i waited with great anticipation for 4 months for it's arrival. I had to special order to get the XLT WITHOUT LEATHER SEATS but still get the sunroof and the power seat controls. I...

Pros: Ford - Versatile, Great Customer Service, and Attractive

Cons: New Wardrobe Will Need to be purchased!

The Bottom Line: The vehicle is #1 purchasing reason. Next are customer service & incentives. Ford, a company believing customers should come first, definitely trains its people well. FORD ESCAPE equals customer's satisfaction.

Review: Enough has been written for FORD Escape especially in consumer reports (www.consumerreports.org) and auto magazines, so I won t bore you with technical and testing details. Consumer Reports classifies Ford Escape as a very good vehicle to have.
