End Of The World Doomsday explains doomsday predictions like galactic alignment, solar flares, nostradamus and other end of the world doomsday theories. Used Ford Escape 2. Overall rating: October 1. Ford Escape. The Escape is one of the few small SUVs that still looks like a truck. Its square shape provides excellent all- around visibility and interior space. The Escape comes with a 4- cylinder or V6 engine, in a front- or all- wheel drive configuration. It drives comfortably and is very practical inside, which is probably why it was the best selling small SUV for many years. The interior is not luxurious but simple and functional. Seats are comfortable and tall driving position offers commanding view of the road. The rear liftgate glass opens separately, making grocery loading easy. Rear seats fold flat providing plenty of cargo space.
The reliability is not flawless, but a used Ford Escape is priced a few thousand dollars cheaper than the same age Honda CR- V or Toyota RAV4. Should used car buyers take advantage of the lower price? What are the common problems and how expensive are the repairs? What model is better, 4- cylinder or V6? We've done our research and will try to answer these questions in the review. Ford Escape 2. 01.

Ford Escape was developed in association with Mazda and runs on a front- wheel drive platform with optional all- wheel drive. It has electric power steering and independent suspension at all 4 wheels, with struts in the front and coil springs in the back. In all non- hybrid models, rear brakes are drums. Both, the 2. 3. L and 2. L inline- 4 are Mazda- sourced engines. Both are proven very durable and mostly trouble- free. The 3. 0. L Ford V6 is also mechanically- solid. There were some issues with VCT solenoids in 2. V6 models, but other than that, it's a good engine. All three Escape engines have a timing chain, there is no timing belt. The Escape drives very comfortably. Visibility is excellent and even the 4- cylinder engine feels quite peppy. The only minus is a fair amount of road and engine noise. The Escape's 4. WD system is helpful on snowy roads, but it's not something you can use on an off- road trail. Ford Escape EPA Fuel Economy: MPGcity/hwy. L/1. 00 kmcity/hwy. FWD 4- cyl auto. 21/2.

V6 Escapes, as there were some expensive flaws with the VCT solenoids that were resolved in later models. Another disadvantage of the V6 is that sometimes one of the ignition coils could fail and it could be quite expensive to replace coils and spark plugs on the rear cylinder bank in a V6. The 4- cylinder engine is cheaper to maintain and requires less repairs. The Escape's AWD system is simple and mostly trouble- free.
