2005 Ford Escape Hybrid

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid?
I have 235000 miles on mine and the only mtc or repair required was new brakes at 130000! The vehicle still looks nice, rides smooth and has been wonderfully reliable for me.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid?
More cup holders.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid?
Good mpg compared to other SUV's. After 4 years, overall avg is 29 mpg.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid?
Have it made by a reliable, non-union Asian car company that produces quality, low maintenance/repair vehicles or that don't use shoddy, failure-prone components. At least if Ford is going to use cheap components they could increase their warranty from 3/36 to 5/60 or more. It was a complete rip-off to have to replace the front left bearing at 39,000 miles in 2 years (3000 miles out of warranty sir, please fork over $800), then one year later have to replace it again!

2005 Ford Escape Hybrid Review:
I've lost all the money I've saved on gas by replacing the front bearings twice ($700+/incident) and now the brake master cylinder ($1500). I've driven 5 other cars in 28 years of driving and have never had to replace a wheel bearing or a master cylinder. I've done this all in 4 years and 60,000 miles.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid?
