2002 Ford Escape XLT review from North America
"Good little SUV for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have not had any serious problems yet. Small thing are a bit bothersome. Rubber molding around passenger door is inadequate causing passenger to experience wind noise. Important information sticker that was glued to plastic radiator shroud under the hood fell of. Am experiencing not so good fuel mileage. (16 mpg) (13.5 mpg in winter conditions).
General comments?
V6 Escape has awesome power.
Comfortable for a 6 ft. person on long trips.
Plenty of cargo space unless you are hauling lumber over 8 ft lengths.
Gas mileage could be better.
