2009 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic AWD		 My price paid was much smaller than Toyota and Honda similar models I researched.
2008 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 The price was within budget
2008 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic AWD		 Compared to Honda, Toyota and GM, much more "bang for the buck"!
2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 lower than the mazda
2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Reasonable price for 1 year old lease return
2007 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 Not much. Pricey for what you get.
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 Part of the deal was getting top dollar on my trade in.
2006 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4

Price of the Ford Escape: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 Hybrid was quite a premium over the V6.
2007 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 It is not economical when comparing standard engine vs. hybrid engine. You have to do it because you want a hybrid for the environment. However, it is 10K cheeper than Toyota Highlander Hybrid, but it is a lighter car too. Tow capacity is 1000 vs 3000.
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 As a hybrid, expect to pay a premium price.
