Ford Escape XLS A quality Used Vehicle, Auto 2006-07  

 

 

Ford Escape Yes I had one,  purchased Feb 07 was mainly doing the Kms city  with some motorway work. As yet I never tried the 4x4 aspect but did lock the diff going through very deep water on a trip into NSW

Briefly its a Mazda 4 cylinder109KW engine  .

Oh and for the record I now own a 2011 ZD Escape

How I saw the Ford Escape in 2006.

 Seating wise just right for Mum, Daughter 4 and son 5 (both in restraints) I have the reason for the vasectomy now as a third would mean a quick trip back to the car dealer for something bigger, in the back not bad .plenty of space for the cricket set, picnic blanket, portable ice box  and kids stuff. Child restraints are in the top of the roof in the rear . Back seat for the kids just great maybe a wee bit tight for anyone over the age of 12.

Performance you say, well I have had my little baby through its paces within the law of course and yes it goes , it does go sort of just . It does worry me when you need that kick . Motorway driving seems to be the place for that little bit of response needed when changing lanes or keeping up with a fast moving interstate trucks trying to get to the Woolworths depot before 4.30.Response  keep in mind its a 2.3 four cyl. its no V8 race car.

 

 

Fuel wise I cannot say I measure it but my thoughts are for the style of driving I do fuel usage for the Ford Escape is on the heavy side.

Please note for Australian purchases that the Ford road side assist program is not available on escape 4x4.

Tank size is 58 litres and currently I am using only Shell 10% ethanol. Fuel costs and in my opinion performance has not altered even using 98 unleaded .

I like the visibility factor , just nice clearance, ABS,  sound system and twin airbags. Things that are grating on my nerves is the uncomfortable seating position. (Just been told by the doctor that a tendon complaint in my fore arm could be due to driver seating position),  constant dirty rear window, lack of sun tint on front windscreen and a clunk on full lock that's been there since new Oh and I don't feel 100% with the brakes although they seem to be doing all expected of them.

Summary of the Ford Escape 4x4

Overall in the Auto the Ford Escape is not a speed machine but not bad for the money either. In 50000 kms I would give it a 7/10. New tyres  front at 40000 kms

Have a drive , put the kids and the weekly groceries in it and take it for a run up some hills and make your own mind up.

Servicing is every 10000 kms

As a note back to that year use of air-cond does severely increase the fuel But I am finding that also on the 2011 ford escape
