2013 Ford Escape Titanium - it is a Hoot! 2013 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member4374 My wife felt that it was time to replace my Jeep Wrangler with something more "practical", so I got a (used 2013) Ford Escape Titanium. Mission Accomplished? Drivetrain: My Ford has the 2.0 Liter Turbo. At low RPMs it pulls very well for a 4 cylinder. When you crush... |

Not an SUV anymore 2013 Ford Escape Pros and Cons jrexplore The 2.0L turbo motor only develops power above 3000 rpm and is gutless at lower rpms. Using the manual shift feature on the 6 speed automatics helps a bit, but this car would be much better with a manual transmission to keep the engine in its power range. Most drivers... |

2014 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh On paper, the Tiguan R-Line (with the same engine as all other North American Tiguans) is down 40 horsepower compared to the Ford Escape, 200 vs. 240. In the real world, the difference in performance is not so large, with the Tiguan taking perhaps another third of a second to... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Escape |

2014 Subaru Forester XT Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Last year's Forester XT paired a 224-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-four-cylinder engine with an antiquated four-speed automatic. The 2014 has a smaller engine--a 2.0-liter--but it's good for 250 horsepower. Even better for performance and fuel economy, it's paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). With a conventional automatic, engine speed (and... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Escape |

A Pretty Decent Cute-Ute, All Things Considered 2012 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member4238 The little 2.5L four-cylinder offers decent power for its size, but idles very coarsely with the A/C on and in gear. Ford has issued a service notice for this problem, but it basically comes down to, "we know there are complaints, but resolving the issue isn't a priority for us." |

2013 GMC Terrain Denali V6 Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Even in the Denali, the GMC Terrain's base engine remains a 182-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder. Performance with this engine in typical suburban driving feels considerably better than the specs suggest it ought to. But anyone who must contend with steep grades or large loads, or who sometimes just wants to scoot,... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Escape |

2013 Mazda CX-5 Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh My evaluation of the CX-5's handling was likely colored by the performance (or lack thereof) of its powertrain. Mazda's new six-speed automatic does its job well, but simply can't compensate for the 155-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine's grunt deficit. Acceleration is merely adequate. Ford, Kia, and Volkswagen offer turbocharged 2.0-liter fours... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Escape |

2005 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member5556 Wife needed a car that could conquer snowy/icy roads/driveways for work. The AWD w/ 2.3L 4 cyl & 5-spd manual is rock solid, and gets great MPGs. |

2005 Ford Escape Pros and Cons A member in Illinois, United States The powertrain was flawless except for the clutch take-up in moist weather. The clutch chatter was unbearable and was ultimately why I traded it in. If I had the automatic, I probably would have kept the Escape. |
