This year Ford Escape isn't especially good at anything. But it's not especially bad at anything, either. Reliability has been so-so. In it's favor, it's much cheaper than a Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4 of the same age. They are more reliable, but they are also much more expensive as used cars.
The same amount of money can buy a more reliable, newer Ford Focus or Ford Fusion, but they're sedans, not SUVs.

Thanks for the responce. I wanted to go Honda CRV or Toyota Rav4 but were expensive as compared to the Ford Escape. I didnt need a sedan because i just sold my 2006 pontiac Vibe so i can go for a bigger car. i bought the Ford Escape in the first week of January and i hope i am going enjoy it inspite of the reliability slur cast on it. i believe in routine maintenance so i know it will serve me well.

Most likely it'll be fine, and you'll be happy with it. Differences in reliability are rarely night and day, the probabilities of a good car or a bad car just vary.
