"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.

It doesn't feel top heavy?

Check the roll-over ratings of the Escape.

It's pretty bad.

I agree!! the best small suv ever made, its incredible, powerful, and full of amenities, it's an a+, I have a 2001 xls with 120,000 miles, and its been great, no problems so far, just regular maintenance, same transmission, shifting as smooth, as it did when new. recommended!

Well as far as roll over, any car/truck/suv can roll over if you don't drive responsibly. Living in Dallas you can just about see any type of vehicle on its roof at one time or another.
