Agent 001 had a chance to test the 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and was pleasantly surprised.
True 30+ MPG obviously is the highlight but add onto that good looks, a nice nimble drive, compact and easy to maneuver/park, plus great cargo flexibility and an affordable $27k sticker makes this one of the best around town grocery getter's than you can buy today.
Believe it or not, I like driving it better than Edge I had as a rental.
The Edge felt heavy and awkward to drive compared to the Escape.
Now if Ford could just get the recalls to stop and the Explorer's to stop igniting themselves due to faulty wiring (Recalls have been issued and people have been notified), more and more people would buy their products.
The Spies say great job Ford on this new Escape.
