Miles Overview
The 2005 Escape is Ford's small SUV, sized to park easily in the city but with enough room for four passengers and a surprising amount of cargo. It handles well on snow and ice, and the steering is light enough to make backing into tight spots easy. The interior uses durable materials that hold up well, though owners note the back seat doesn't fold completely flat. Some owners have had the engine computer fail around 100,000 miles, which can cause misfires and costly repairs. The XLT skips the base model's four-cylinder for the 3.0L V6 and adds standard air conditioning and a CD player, but you'll pay a few thousand more. With 200 horsepower from the 3.0L V6 and all-wheel drive, the Escape feels eager around town and planted on loose surfaces, though the four-speed automatic can hunt for gears on hills.
