2010 Ford Escape Hybrid - Ford Hybrid SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
Where else can you get 30 mpg in the city in a four-wheel-drive SUV for $30,000?

I'm generally a fan of small SUVs -- like the Ford Escape and numerous others -- that have enough ground clearance to handle most Michigan snowfalls, enough people-and-cargo space for a long weekend trip or a big shopping hoist, and enough substance to tow a smallish trailer. The problem with such vehicles is that they're usually poor on gas compared with traditional mid-size sedans (which many of the cute-utes are based on).inline_mediumwraptextright25807970/green/reviews/0911_2010_ford_escape_hybrid0911_02_z+2010_ford_escape_hybrid+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
