2002 Ford Escape XLT review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great 4WD and on road vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
People say that its not a real 4WD, we took it on a 4WD course and it handled better, got up hills, cornered etc a lot better than all the Jeeps, Land Rovers etc with its superb power and size. All with road tires as well.
A lot of onroad noise, but that's expected.
Very comfy for long trips.
Great power for pulling the boat.
Only bad thing is the fact that it beeps at you for everything that you do, like lights on, keys in, door open, seat belt off, and many more,
