2011 4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
Price was high, dealer did not offer much of a discount or was willing to work with me on my trade-in
2011 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
A base RAV4 is quite inexpensive. Fully optioned, the price can balloon by a third.
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
No incentives
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
V6 more. Not a fair comparison.
2007 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
A bit more than the crv, didnt want to wait 3 monthes for a custom built one from toyo corp since brother works there.
2007 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
Too pricey compared to a Honda.
2007 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD
Almost $5000 more than a comparably equipped Santa Fe. Depreciation will be better, but I tend to keep cars long term so upfront pricing matters to me.
2006 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
Significantly higher price than comparable vehicles.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
The vehicle is somewhat expensive, but the value is high because it offers alot for that money.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Little more expensive than some competitors and no great financing rates either. I guess since the car is popular they know people will pay the extra.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
I have always thought that cars are way more expensive than they need to be. Toyota tends to be more expensive that most.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
The RAV4 was a bit more expensive than comparable cars.

The price was within budget
2008 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6

Compared to Honda, Toyota and GM, much more "bang for the buck"!

2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6

Reasonable price for 1 year old lease return

Not much. Pricey for what you get.
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid

Part of the deal was getting top dollar on my trade in.
2006 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4

At my purchase price of $15800 I think my Escape is an unmatched value.
2002 4dr SUV 127-horsepower 2.0L I4

Bought vehicle with low interest. And price of 19,600 was very reasonable. Especially by SUV standards
Price of the Ford Escape: Cons

2008 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid

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

As a hybrid, expect to pay a premium price.
