2002 Ford Escape LTX review from Thailand
"Good all round tough car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hazard lights don't work, I press the button, but it doesn't lock and flash.
Throttle seems too responsive, seems to take off to easily, driven other Escapes that seem to have softer throttle response.
General comments?
Only just bought this car, used. Fantastic car for the rough roads you get in Thailand, get engine, plenty of power, but the throttle needs looking at, too responsive. The remote central locking only opens the driver's door and I have to press the button on the inside door panel to open the other doors, Ford tell me that's normal which seems odd!
Don't really like the rear seats, seem uncomfortable, fortunately I won't be sitting back there often!
Great value for money considering what other equivilent 3.0L SUVs cost in Bangkok. All in all a great car, with a few teething problems. Love the cruise control.
