Miles Overview
The 2003 Ford Escape is a compact SUV that slots below the Explorer in Ford's lineup, offering car-like handling in a small package. It drives more like a car than a truck, with easy steering and brakes that feel natural underfoot. The cabin is roomy for four, with decent cargo space, though the interior materials feel basic and wear over time. Owners praise its reliability for daily driving, but some report issues with the engine computer around 100,000 miles. The XLT gives you the stronger 3.0L V6 over the base Escape with the smaller engine, but you'll pay more at the pump. Its 3.0L V6 makes 201 horsepower and pairs with an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, giving it real traction in snow or mud. Expect fuel economy of 18 mpg combined, which is the trade for the SUV's light, car-like feel on the road.
