2006 Ford Escape Hybrid review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Ford Escape Hybrid is uncomfortable and has a bumpy ride. Furthermore, the mileage I've been getting is below their estimates. My mileage is 24.8 mpg versus the 30 + Ford boasts about.
General comments?
The car does not handle well in rain or snow. I've had numerous occasions where the back of the car has dove-tailed.
