Used Ford Escape Hybrid for Sale near Alberta

I love the fuel efficiency in this car combined with the spacious interiors and cavernous cargo area. I swapped a small Mazda Protege hatchback for this and upgraded our fuel economy, space, style and utility all at once. I have had this car for about 4 months after buying it used with 50K miles. We are more than ecstatic about how it performs on the road and obtains amazing fuel economy, well beyond EPA rated. We get 37-40 MPG highway and 32-35 mpg local. It certainly performs worse on really short trips (less than 3 miles) because it takes a couple miles to get the hybrid system warmed up and actively boosting the efficiency. If you keep highway speeds to 65 mph or less you can match the efficiency we are getting. When I drive it full out at 80 mph highway the fuel economy drops to about 27-28 mpg, which is still better than just about every SUV on the road. The trunk is huge and easily accessible. We love the rear glass open feature which allows you to just pop open the rear glass and reach in without lifting open the whole large tailgate door. This allows us to open and get to things while in a small 1 car garage with the garage door shut. I have a nice trailer hitch mounted bike rack that works wonderfully and avoids the need for a rooftop system which reduces fuel efficiency and increases the chance of having clearance issues. The roof rack is a great feature that can be used for added carrying capacity in a pinch, which makes this car a great road tripper or family car for any family of 5 or less. I did a lot of research to pick a family car that could cover our needs for space and utility along with fuel economy and style, the Ford Escape Hybrid is the only one that has it all!

It gets better gas mileage than toyota's highlander. It now has the Ford's SYNC technology and it is darn adorable.
