CarguidePH posted a comparison of specs between a few of the local CUV's against the new Escape.

The Toyota RAV4 doesn't look that good, there's something not right with the design. Ford Escape 1.6 looks promising with 7 airbags and better fuel economy in city driving.

Looks are always subjective per person.

I think the CR-V looks hideous, but it's still the 3rd best selling CUV so apparently others like it.

for me, when it come to looks Koreans CUV are well ahead. rav 4 and crv just doesn't look right. parang may mali sa exterior design.

My forester XT is decidedly boring with its CVT. The shift logic in manual mode makes no sense to me. Its bleh. Maybe the traditional automatic of the turbo titanium edition of this escape will make the driving experience feel better.

Kamusta ownership experience ng FXT? Is it really good ba?

Kasi currently my GF and I are torn between FXT and this upcoming Escape Titanium. The big question is.. Is the escape better than the FXT?

For me in terms of space FXT wins, it's A LOT spacious than my iX35 and almost same sa CRV gen 3.

Buti nalang hindi power shift ginamit dito sa new escape. Naka 6speed conventional AT daw as per topgear mag... 2.0 ecoboost is a monster on escape.

We will get our Ford Escape 2.0 later. I'll post my initial review sir.

Yes, both the 1.6 EcoBoost and 2.0 EcoBoost models sold here use a conventional torque converter automatic transmission.
I believe the Getrag-Ford dry-clutch Powershift DCT was not designed to handle high-torque engines.



PS: There's a rumor (reported in some Australian magazines/blogs) that the facelifted Thai-built Focus (they source their standard Focus moidels from Thailand too) could get a 1.5 EcoBoost in place of the current naturally aspirated 2.0, if this happens, it will most likely switch to a 6F35 torque converter automatic transmission.
