We are thinking about purchasing a Ford. We like the roominess of the new Escape...but also the gas mileage of the Taurus hatchback. Any thoughts?

(Yes, we KNOW about the problems, which we expect will be fixed, on the Escape.)

We bought a 2012 Fusion and like it a lot.

Check out the 2013 Shelby GT500.

Focus hatchback?

No such thing as a Taurus hatch/wagon currently.

Be sure to check out the Escape Eco-Boost.

P.s. we have four Fords in the driveway.

F-150
Expedition
Fusion
Fiesta

Traded in a 1997 Mustang and 2001 Ford Escape to buy the F-150 ;-)

I have a 2005 Escape with 278,000+ miles. I had the transmission rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago, but hey, how many transmissions last that long? No other major problems and very, very few minor problems. The engines seems bullet proof. I’ve been completely satisfied with it, my first Ford.

I’m in the market for a new vehicle and I’m trying to reconsider my needs but I keep coming back to an Escape. Will probably buy a new one.
