2004 Ford Escape XLT review from North America
"The Perfect SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, except someone or something broke out my foglight : (
General comments?
This SUV is a 40 mile daily driver and has been taken on several trips across the state.
It has a lot of power for a V-6 and is surprisingly roomy. It handles very well and does not feel top heavy, like some SUV's.
I have the XLT package with the sunroof, MACH 6 Disc, and running boards.
I love the new look of the interior for 2005 and the shifter placement.
The exterior is also, more appealing and it looks like a top dollar SUV.
I would recommend this SUV to anyone. The value is good and it has been extremely reliable.
