Thinking of buying the 2006 Ford Escape?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2006 Ford Escape for sale by us right now. This page helps you judge the 2006 Ford Escape before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 720 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, vehicle speed control and power train. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Reading the spec sheet
The 2.3L 4-cylinder hybrid does the work, through an automatic (CVT). As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Plan on about 24 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.1 L/100 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $125.60. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Room inside
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the Escape on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the Escape for a week and see how it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2006 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.56 in fuel.
