    If you are looking for a tremendous automobile with plenty of room, fuel efficiency, and an array of great features, then you need to drive the Ford Escape XLS 4WD AT! The imporvements are well noted and I believe it is one of the finest vehicles on the road—-and at a very affordable price. It is great to see an American company producing such a fine automobile at such a good cost to the consumer. We have had the car for four months without any negative incidents. Great vehicle!

    Love this suv XLT 4WD V6 so far. Bought it brand new about a month ago and its powerful and rides smooth. Comes with satellite radio for 6 months and its great. Bluetooth for your cell is awesome feature as it will read out loud your text messages while you’re driving so you don’t have to read them.

    the XLT FWD V6 is a great relief that there is still one american car company cranking out good cars. The Escape was a great fit for me and my family of three, I bought it earlier this year when Ford was offering the employee discounts. I give this car high marks on it’s styling and comfort. I get 22+ average MPGs in mostly suburbia driving, while still providing plenty of power to satisfy my macho husbands need for power. At this point it has gone to the dealer once for an improperly installed air conditioning hose- no air conditioning-it took a couple of days to get the part from the factory. The interior is hansome and the SYNC feature is nice, I would really recommend this car.
