    Ford Escape

    The Ford Escape was Ford's mid-sized SUV rival to models such as the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5 and Hyundai Tucson. It combined a roomy cabin, European-developed dynamics and the choice of petrol and plug-in hybrid power during its later Australian run. The Escape is no longer sold new locally, leaving Ford without a conventional mid-sized SUV in its current range. Existing examples remain appealing for buyers who want a practical family SUV with sharper steering and stronger performance than many mainstream alternatives. Its challenge was always buyer attention, not ability: the Escape drove well, offered useful space and brought a more polished road feel than its sales numbers suggested.

    2023 Ford Escape St-Line owner review

    Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it? No. Have you had to make any warranty claims? Yes. Only real issue I've had with the warranty is a rattle inside the driver's side pillar. They found it to be a clip inside broken and had to be replaced. It took four goes to get it fixed. The rattle isn't overly loud and luckily only rattled on the highway. Problem is I drive on the highway heaps, and the rattle is right in my eye. Ha ha. Luckily, they were…
