Ford Escape Hybrid - Any info?

[treehug]

Hi... anyone have any information (personal experience, etc...) about the Ford Escape Hybrid vs. other Suv's or even just vs. the regular Ford Escape. I'm thinking about it... but not quite sure and the information on Ford's website doesn't seem to be enough for me.

Ford Escape Hybrid is good . It saves on gas alot. You don't have to change the oil every 3,000 miles. The manual says every 10,000. It takes time to get used to the electric mode, it sounds like the car died but that's when it switches from gas to electric. I would recommend it.

Well the Ford Escape 07 is a full hybrid, so you can expect good performance. However, the navigation and audio system isn't too great.

It's good for a city driver, and the price is dropping so if you wait a bit longer, you can get it at a cheaper price.

However, next year's model will probably be a significant improvement so you might want to wait for that..

According to me the "Ford Escape Hybrid" is much better then the common one.the main advantage of the ford escape hybrid is less cost and less pollution.

Yeah and the less pollution factor is the most important one, although price does matter too.

I mean the companies should strive to make the hybrids cheaper than the standard versions to get people to buy them, since if hybrids are too expensive people won't be able to afford them, and thus they are put to waste as the pollution creating vehicles will be the ones on the road instead.
