 Detailed review:
If you are searching for a well-made 4WD vehicle, you can do better for a little more money. I found the Escape interior cheap and the handling loose. The exhaust pipe just stuck out from the side of the car with no consideration for appearance. Who shifts on the column!?! My shopping list included 200hp+, sunroof, leather & 4wd. I purchased the Subaru Forester turbo. I love my Ford Mustang GT and F250, however the Escape is a cheap alternative to the Explorer.

 Also considered:
2004 Volvo S60
2004 Land Rover Freelander
