All you Ford Escape Hybrid drivers…can you give me a review?
Gas mileage good? Roomy? Engine noise? Maintenance? Drive? Issues?
The Ford Hybrid Escape is the most fuel efficient SUV on the planet!
(http://www.fordvehicles.com/suvs/escapehybrid/ )
It also happens to be extremely reliable, as this article proves:
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/ford-escape-hybrid-taxis-demonstrate-durability-on-new-york-stre/
(keep in mind that this article is over a year old (!) and they are still running strong)
I had the distinct pleasure of driving one last year for 3 weeks & it handled great! It also got TWICE as many miles-per-gallon as my previous 'demo' ( a non-hybrid Escape).
It qualifies for THE largest federal tax incentive available for a Hybrid vehicle. (providing that you are the FIRST owner)
Some states & local municipalities also offer incentives.
The maintenance costs are actually LESS than a non-Hybrid Escape. (oil changes are only required once a year or every 10,000 miles…whichever comes first) And ALL the "Hybrid-componants" are warranteed for 8 years/100,000miles.
The resale value is extremely high, IF you can find a pre-owned one… I've only seen 2 pre-owned for sale in my dealership in the last 4 years and we specifically go in search for them!
The ONLY drawback to owning a Ford Hybrid Escape…….is finding one for sale!
There is a 6 month waiting list to order one from a dealer, and every one that comes in….sells FAST.
Movement.
