In my family's continuing search for a new car, the generous people at Ford were nice enough to loan us a brand new Ford Escape! We took it over a weekend and really ran it all over town and even an impromptu trip to the snow. So impromptu we weren't dressed correctly. Brrrrr......
But back to the Escape. We were looking for a car that can fit the family, which sometimes includes my mother in law who has an electric wheel chair that breaks down for transport and needs to fit in the trunk. Other times it means our 2 dogs, one of whom is 125 pounds. The Escape can definitely handle all of that.
In our many adventures over the weekend we drove a fair bit of unpaved road and even my 8 year old daughter comment how smooth the ride was. The 4 wheel drive probably takes the credit there, but even on the paved road she noticed how much smoother it was. It really is a sweet ride.
Looking through the car info I found that you can program a key fob for each driver. I love that you can set things like, maximum speed, sound system volume, and nav screen interaction. My daughter is only 8 now but she'll be 16 before I know it. She can still have fun and feel the freedom of driving, and I'll be able to sleep nights.
I'm sad they no longer make the hybrid Escape.This new Escape has Eco boost which doesn't get as good mileage. It did still get about the same mileage as my PT cruiser which is pretty good for a car this much larger. This is really my only gripe with the car. Apart from that I loved it.

So this is what Ford Escape 2013 looks like. It looks very spacious from the outside, I hope it’s also as spacious on the inside. It'll work well with you guys, especially because you have kids. Nice car, by the way.

We loved it. I think it is great space wise inside, especially the trunk. My mother in law's electric wheel chair breaks down into odd shapes and I've had trouble getting it into others. The roof is high enough and the bed wide enough. It's not a pick up truck of course, but within it's class I'd say it's exceptionally roomy.
Hello there, Elise. Congratulations on your new loaned car. You know what? This car has a good mileage, which makes it no different than the other released vehicles of Ford. However, the engine is powerful, and it's combined with a spacious, comfy interior that's packed with one-of-a-kind technology. I'm sure that this would be the perfect car for you and your family.
No doubt, you loved it! A Ford is always a good kind of car. It’s like, if you can’t decide which to pick, point to the Ford car! How is the performance so far? I hope you’re not having problems with it this early. I look forward to seeing more post about your cars. Cheers!
