My wife also wants a Ford Escape Hybrid, thus I have been doing a little research myself. We are a family who have been very loyal to both Ford and Honda. (Past: '87 Honda Accord LXi, '96 Ford Mustang GT, '99 Ford Explorer XLT, '00 Honda Accord LX. Currently: '04 Honda Odyssey EXL, and '04 Ford F150 FX4 Super Crew.) I like the looks of the '08 Escape Hybrid, but I hear that the power is somewhat lacking and that the actual MPG is less than advertised. We recently went and looked into the Toyota Highlander Hybrid and like size of the Toyota compared to the Escape (got to be able to fit 2 kids, dog and all our stuff.) Getting the Hybrid would make the environmentalists happier, but I am not quite sure if you would be saving as much money in the long run. Hopefully some of my babbling is helpful, as far as capacity, we are now considering the Honda Accord Hybrid. Would be nice if they would make an Expedition Hybrid... maybe someday. Good luck!

Yes, by my opinion the Ford Escape is an excellant vehicle. I drove for 18 years in the field and when I test drove the escape it was very nice. The driver has a panaramic view of the road by sitting higher than usual. The seats sort of wrap around the driver. The braking system is very good, good steering and roll recovery.Comes in v4 or v6, I prefer the v6 as it has more pep. Sunroff,6 cd changer optional. Go test drive one for free.

My sources say that the Escape is a pretty good car. I think it has one of the best reliability reports out of all the Ford models. (Especially the Hybrid) I don't think that the original Escape has horrible fuel economy, but I think that the Hybrid has pretty good fuel economy.

My Ford Escape never gave me any trouble up to the time I sold it. It's pretty good.
