It's a piggyback engine computer that can retune your engine for more power and more economy. About 30k brand new, including installation and tuning... there are a few secondhand ones for sale at http://forum.fordclubph.com
Not really worth it for the economy... but for the power? Yesssss....![]()

70,000 km is peachy if the maintenance is good. Many Pinoys grossly underestimate how reliable engines are nowadays.
I wouldn't take the odometer kilometreage against the CR-V because it tells only part of the car's story. I'd certainly prefer a well-maintained, well-run-in CR-V vs. a pristine Escape that's had skipped maintenance stops. Here's where a complete, detailed maintenance record comes in handy. Yes it's boring reading, and it's not as easy as a peek at the odometer, but it'll save used-car buyers headaches in the long run.
That said...it's a toss-up as far as I'm concerned. The Escape has slightly more punch, but the CR-V has a more usable interior. Neither is really a deal-breaker.
Maintenance at Honda stopped at 5Tkms. But according to the owner, she had it serviced periodically at outside shops. The Escape has complete service records with Ford since it only has a few miles on it.
To be honest though, all things being equal, I'd choose the CRV in a heartbeat. Although the difference in price is quite hard to ignore though and will probably be the deciding factor in case I do make up my mind.
kung ako lang pipili at bibili scape kukunin kosyempre ikaw pa din ang may desisyon sir..70.000km vs 12.000km..kung ano gusto ng puso at isipan mo yun ang kunin mo

I don't know about the new Escape but my 2004 Escape already has 96,000km already and so far it's still ok.
to the TS, i am selling my 2008 CRV 4x2 A/T with 19k mileage on the odometer. Tamper proof sir. pm me for details.![]()
Mechanically speaking, apart from the engine changes and variants (2.0L I4, 3.0L V6, 2.3L I4), the Escape has always been the same vehicle. All it's had are essentially facelifts.
That's good to know. This bodes well for an Escape purchase.What engine do you run in yours?
I'd steer clear of the 3.0L V6 as its reputation for gas guzzling is justified. My aunt drives one she got second-hand, and the thing swills unleaded faster than a drunkard at happy hour...and for all its thirst it's not all that powerful either.
Ask the owner for receipts to back up her claim.
I'm no fan of Honda dealerships when it comes to servicing either; I usually have maintenance work done elsewhere after warranty period ends. But it's really important that the receipts be tracked and recorded, regardless of where it's been maintained.
Just to update you guys.
Decided to get the 2009 Escape na lang. At the end of the day, the price difference was too substantial to ignore. Haven't done any Fuel mileage measurements yet, but so far, happy with the car.

Oh, by the way, mileage on the Escape was actually only 4t kms. and hindi pala 14tkms as I previously thought so it's basically like a brand new car
