Neither the Toyota [RAV4] nor the Honda [CR-V] offers an optional V-6, and the Escape's V-6, mated exclusively to an automatic transmission, is much livelier than the [Nissan] Xterra's.
Liked Most
The Escape handles incredibly well, with none of the steering vagueness and ride tippiness that characterize so many SUVs, and its brakes are unusually strong.

Comparison
...faster [0-60 mph] than... the Honda Civic EX coupe, Kia Sportage, Nissan Xterra, Saab 9-5 wagon and Lexus RX 300.
Liked Most
Escape is two inches shorter than the [Ford] Focus sedan, but inside has... nearly as much interior room as an [Ford] Explorer.
AutoWeek
Liked Most
I found the Escape's handling to be stable, predictable, and the driving experience to be enjoyable.
Canadian Driver
Comparison
First place (tie) [with the Mazda Tribute in 11-vehicle comparison].
Car and Driver
One Liner
...if we just had to have one more SUV, this is the one to welcome with open arms....likely to be the equal of the Chrysler P/T Cruiser as the darling of journalists and buyers alike.
Cars Everything
Liked Most
Being able to see the leading edge of the hood from the driver's seat makes the Escape easier to maneuver in tight places, whether you're deep in the woods or (more likely) in a tight big-city garage.
Comparison
Ford Escape and the nearly identical Mazda Tribute may be the best small sport-utility vehicles sold today....the Honda CR-V... looks dainty and dated by comparison.
Liked Most
The Ford Escape offers agile handling on both paved and unpaved roads. It rides smoothly and gets strong acceleration performance from an optional V6.
New Car Test Drive
Liked Most
...the easy-to-fold rear seatbacks, which can be lowered and raised one-handed...
Popular Mechanics
One Liner
If you want boxy, buy an Escape or a Mazda Tribute.
The Detroit News
Comparison
CR-V has only a four-cylinder engine." [Jeep] Cherokee has an optional six-cylinder with less horsepower but more torque.
One Liner
Perversely, but typically for Ford, expensive leather upholstery was less comfortable than cloth.
