2006 Ford Escape 4X4 HYBRID review from North America
"The best SUV ever made!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!!!
General comments?
I sold my 2001 ford explorer, because it was a v8, and I really didn't need all that power, and the gasoline prices are getting so high, so I decided to get one of those new hybrid suv's and so far, The SUV has been impressive!! great mpg
it gets almost 32 in highway, probably the price is high, but considering the government deductions it's a great choice!
Its got all the amenities you would expect from a luxury car, like gps, 6 disc cds changer,, leather seats, sunroof.
The only lil complain that I have is that the A/C doesn't do well in stop 'n go traffic when the electric motor is on. it improves when the gasoline motor kicks in. (just being picky, that's it).
If you can afford one, go and get it, you wouldn't regret it, it gets better mpg than toyota's hybrid suv. I considered both, before buying it.
