Any Ford Escape drivers here? We're looking at an '08, but considering anything in the 06-09ish years.

Have test drove Ravs (too expensive unless we go back to 02-04ish), Matrixes, Escapes and a Tucsons. Not sure the other models in the similar class, but will be headed out again tonight to Mazda and Honda dealerships.

We're going to get rid of our 2008 Accord rather than our 2005 Escape when we upgrade. - David Jan 23, 13:53 1
- We're eyeing an Escape or a Mazda Tribute to replace our Mazda3 this year ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 23, 13:57
We have a 2005. I love that car. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 23, 13:47 10
- What's your milage on it? The '08 was heavy highway use and is at 141K kms already. I'm not worried, but Mrs. NWBR kinda is. (City girl) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 23, 13:53 9
  - Oh, it's only like 47,000. But we've had it for seven years with very little trouble. - Kim Pine Jan 23, 13:58 6
    - Oh, I forgot about the starter. She's right. -- nm - David Jan 23, 14:00 2

    - And mileage is okay, but with newer models it might be better. They did some things to boost it since then. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 23, 13:59 2
      - The '08 is supposedly rated for 24.5mpg in city, but if I get 20-22ish, I'm satisfied. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 23, 14:03 1
        
        We're on the side of a mountain so I'm sure our gas mileage is at the low end. -- nm - David Jan 23, 14:08
  - We have 45k miles on it and its mileage was 19 MPG last time I looked. - David Jan 23, 13:57 1
    - Excellent reviews. Hoping that car is still there after work to check out. (It was there last night.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 23, 13:58
