woah, this is the first ford base model walkaround video ive seen on youtube that has a manual. and this is a SUV, i havent even seen a base focus with a manual on youtube. good video. the new escape's interior dash layout looks like the one in the new 2014 impala. i would like to see how the new impala drives.

I bought the XLT 4cyl 2012 6 spd auto. I had a 8 hour trip, at 75 it was doing 27mpg! for a boxed car this is impressive! In city driving I get between 20-21 mph with normal acceleration and sticking to speed limits. Yeah its very plasticy inside but armrest is nice and soft and s nice leather warped wheel, very comfy cloth seats. I knew 2013 had new body since I saw it but it looks more like a focus rather an SUV. And the back seats don't fold FLAT like the 2nd gen does.

Good video! Your observations are spot on! I just picked one up (a 2010 light gold model) and I can attest that the 2.5L I4/5-speed manual make a great combination, and the gas mileage IS better than what the sticker says (getting 28 mpg in pretty spirited mixed driving). Too bad they're next to impossible to find with the stick. I'm in the burbs of Chicago and I was only able to find 3 of them, including the one I bought, in a 200(!) mile radius (2 Escapes and 1 Tribute with no cruise control).

It's a shame that Ford doesn't offer the Escape XLS with the nice features of the XLT, Limited and the Hybrid. They delivered to the market the most basic and featureless model with the manual transmission. Why? Why?!! Shame on you, Ford engineers! And shame on you Ford designers for the 2013 version of the Escape. You actually killed the Escape spirit with that sissies' car. RIP Ford Escape, 2001-2012.

The 2013 Mazda CX-5 Sport has a 6-speed manual transmission with a shorter shift throws, although it comes with a 2.0 Liter Skyactive-G 4-cylinder engine. The Mazda Tribute and the Tribute Hybrid is based on the old Escape, but the sales were disappointing. The CX-5 is a great replacement to the Tribute.

Honestly I could care less if the dash board is hard or soft plastic. All I care about is the armrest, the touch points really. Ex: 12 CR-V has a hard touch dash and so does every small SUV in this class, even the Sportage. I like the new Escape but it's going to be too expensive and the CR-V will no doubt outsell it. People liked this escape because of its SUV look, and now it looks like a tall Focus lol no regrets buying our CR-V yet.

I know a lot of people like the looks of traditional SUVs but not me, this car looks way boxy and just bland to me. It's not an ugly car, but nothing exciting about it either. But I agree, if you have to get this car, get it with a manual to at least make it a bit more fun

True, but the problem with offering premium features on a rather inexpensive car is that the price gets raised too much. Now your paying 35 grand for a Ford that isn't worth that much. I'd save some money and buy a Q5 or RDX. I like what Ford is doing but they are becoming way overpriced. That's why we bought our CR-V. The features that were better on other cars in the class we not worth the extra premium, especially because the Honda was the quietest, most comfortable and most spacious car we

Because 98% of people just don't care about LED lights etc. In fact, I don't even care. If I wanted LED lights I'd buy an Audi, not an Escape. The CR-V is rated at 30 MPG, but we get 33-35.
