2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Limited review by cnet.com

[@Dominion-1]

The $32k pluse price was in 2009, today 2015 they are going for less than $13K. With an average of 30 mpg that is the best used SUV on the market.

[@04dram04]

I think you forgot about the Toyota Hylander Hybrid.....

[@mr.2cents.846]

I'm in love. I think I'm gonna get one. There is something about these 2nd gen Escapes that makes me happy. They have their own charm.

[@kennybrooks8374]

I absolutely love my 2008 Mercury Mariner hybrid; it gets 35 miles per gallon combined with conservative driving ❣️

[@mr.2cents.846]

You said it right there. Feel Good SUV. ❤ Am dreaming of a 2010-12 Limited (Hybrid) for years.

[@ChristopherCerta]

Nice review of the radio. Now about the mechanics? 2:16

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

If you want to use ac while parking does the engine turn on and off to recharge the Battery ? Or does the engine have to run anytime the ac is on ? I want a camper I want to take most of the seats out. I would have to get a great deal if I got one replacement battery is

[@wanderlostrvr2582]

It drives like my Ranger apparently. Im looking at it as a good option: roomy suv and of course the mpg

[@lshplayer90]

This was a great constructive review about the Hybrid. Very informative, as well.

[@sbistr1019]

Npc

[@johnpali5894]

What is the life time of the battery??

[@chadsoandso]

Am I right or wrong I don't have to change my transmission fluid. Because the engine & transmission use the same fluid so when change engine oil it takes care of the transmission too?

[@matthewvasquez9278]

Nope, transmission fluid is for the transmission

[@Adeline9418]

I drive an 05 Escape Hybrid. Nice vehicle.

[@tomsnyder6955]

2009 Ford Escape Hybrid is a good vehicle. I drive one

[@AlexSilva-ir5ct]

I'm thinking about buying an SUV in 2022 worth close to $7,000. Would it be crazy to like a 2009/2010 Ford Escape Hybrid? is it a good buy or is it risky?

[@cjspooner4603]

Same but in 2023. Did you get it?

[@stevenmartinez9688]

Soopp did u guys get em? I'm looking at one only has 25k miles on it

[@rsxzx6r]

@tnguyen318 true...but i didnt refer 2 wiki in the first place...dont kno where u got that from....CVT is continuous transmission (no gears)....vvt is valve timing..for the engine...both US and asian cars have their versions of both...nissan is very popular for using CVT transmissions...with VVT engines..lol

[@zacharycoltrane3128]

Is the Ford Escape a good first car?

[@flashchrome640]

Yes

[@flashchrome640]

They're really roomy, the ride VERY smooth, gas mileage is great if you get the I4 but speed is lacking (I recommend the V6), also build quality is surprising good even with all the plastic. Nothing rattles or flaps around on the plastic panels which is almost unheard at this period of American cars. Anyway, if you buy one you will love it and not wanna let it go. 👍

[@zacharycoltrane3128]

Flash Chrome 👌🏾👌🏾

[@mr.2cents.846]

I drove one once. Had a nice surge to it.

[@mr.2cents.846]

Hybrids are fun. Feel good SUV. That's exactly right.

[@mr.2cents.846]

It's true The Hybrids have a nice surge when you punch it.

[@gary_beniford]

not a bad looking car similar to the old Toyota 4runners in style

[@rsxzx6r]

@tnguyen318 i kno...which was my original statement....that CVT and VVT are different....dont kno why u are comparing one, which is transmission....to the other, which is engine related...

[@MasterJim2020]

I think Ford should make a Hybrid version of the newer Escape. I wonder why they don’t do that anymore. 😅

[@sorrowfulsatchel679]

Oof

[@tnguyen318]

LOL. How come Wikepedia defined CV-T as Continuos Valve Timing when its transmission?? Because Wikepedia still is about 30% error. And thats a lot when it comes to health, medicinal cures, the Universe, etc.

[@tnguyen318]

Did I say it was Variable Valve Timing? I said CV-T wins this one.

[@gerardgoucher5821]

and the garage goes down.

[@rsxzx6r]

@tnguyen318 lol...yes u did...read ur first post...."cvt wins"...ur comparing CVT to VVTi.....u also said CVT is american...which is false as well...

[@fleahead95]

took a quiz nd it sed i shud get dis car

[@tnguyen318]

LOL. How come Wikepedia defined CV-T as Continuos Valve Timing when its transmission?? Because Wikepedia still is about 30% error. And thats a lot when it comes to health, cures, the Universe, etc.

[@rsxzx6r]

@tnguyen318 uh...u sure...lol....nissan uses CVT transmission for their automatics....VVT is different (engine related, not transmission related)...do ur homework.

[@MrTONYTONYM]

You can get an Audi Q5 with a little extra money

[@rsxzx6r]

@tnguyen318 lol....look again...wiki says its "continuously variable transmission"....u might need glasses man...

[@tnguyen318]

Wikepedia is information entered by people. They log-in and change it every time.

[@tnguyen318]

CVT is American. Variable Valve Timing is Japanese. CV-T wins this one.

[@johnwood4109]

This guy talks about the radio not the car bad review

[@JohnSmith-tz4on]

I don't know why unless it's his cheesy trying too hard delivery, but I instantly dislike this guy.
