Thank you sir! Bibili din ako ng ganyang size pinag-iisipan ko kung pirelli scorpion atr o michelin latitude tour hp. Maganda ba un geolandar sir? Sa tirerack ok din ang ratings nyan eh. How much po ba sir? Kasi kung mas mura yan kesa sa 2 nabanggit ko yan na lng ang bibilhin ko. TIA

Samen din po sir. Sobrang nakakainis na nga eh. Date araw araw ko ng binubuksan ung window para makasingaw un amoy pero walang effect. Meron na di nakapagsabi samen amoy *** kame pagbaba. Dyahe talaga ung amoy ng damit lalo na kung long driving. Sana may solusyon dito haha.

We have a 2010 xls and hanggang ngayon dumidikit parin ung amoy sa damit. Lininis na ng casa ung aircon pero ganun parin. Binilad narin namin pero malakas parin ung amoy. Wala parin solusyon hanggang ngayon.
Check nyo din yung insulation sa likod sa ilalim ng carpet. Yung sa amin natunaw dahil its right above the muffler. Aside from those problems ok naman yung escape. Di kami nagsisisi. Tamang tama yung 2.3L for long drives and steep climbs. Hindi sya underpowered di tulad ng ibang 2L na suv.

Planning to buy an XLT in December. Nagtanong ako sa ford libis kung pwede 100K discount di pumalag yung SA. Ano ba pwede pang makuhang freebies? Thanks.

[zeepey]

any idea when's the all-new escape will be available here? Magkanu kaya entry-level variant? 2.0L or 2.3L base engine? I got my escape 2-years ago bnew was just 999k. Pwde na din for my long trips considering compact cars ngayon are mahal na din.

[beamer whacko]

i have both of them bro. 2005 2.3 and 2004 2.0 both cars are great! though siempre mas okay yung 2.3 kasi kayang kaya nya yung kaha and have better torque than the 2.0. downside lang ng escape is the a/c compressor other than that wala na. also i was selling my 2.0 just pm me nalang kung interested ka.l

[macsd]

ask ko lang mga bro, yung 2007 escape ko may kabig sa kanan.
kahit napalitan ko na shocks, tie rods, gulong, wheel balance & alignment.
after all those were done, konti na lang kabig nya.

what do you guys think i may have missed ?

TIA

[joydeanj]

Ok naman yung performance, medyo mahirap lang sa maintenance, but there's an alternative naman mga parts sa banawe

[harold13]

AFAIK, di ba di naman turbo ang escape?

yup walang turbo :D

Hi to all Escapeeps and fellow tsikoteers!

Our family had just got our first family car (only car) and we love our car.

Ask ko lang po sana kung meron kayo mare-recommend na casa or talyer na authorized ng Ford. Sa last na PMS kasi ng previous owner ng sasakyan, sa North American Automotive. Checking the mentioned casa's report, meron sila recommendations sa part to replace for: Fan Module, Engine Support #2 & Tensioner . Medyo may kalayuan kasi ang Pasig sa bahay namin sa Bacoor.

Thank you very much!
Okay naman sya, cool aircon, mabilis, though hindi ko pa nagagawa yung fuel economy checking, so far halos hindi sila nagkakalayo ng amount ng gas allowance ko sa vios na gamit ko dati.

[rossph]

Puwede sa Ford Cavite or Ford Alabang. Sa Ford Alabang ko pinapaservice yung Escape ko. Ok naman dun.

Hi Sir, thank you po sa reply. Nag check po ako sa ford alabang nung mga parts nakailangan ko, kaso lahat daw yung for order pa since hindi sila nag-i-stock ng ganung parts. Baka next week pumasyal ako sa MAZFORD sa Banawe.

Dear Escape owners,

Buying a used Escape bought by first owner in 2003 at Ford Libis..manual transmission.. 292k.. is this a good buy? Any advice, as this is my first Ford? Thank you and a Joyful Resurrection Day to all!

hi pinoy escape.....

i'm about to buy our own ford escape this week. i tried asking all the expert tsikoteers here and their comments were mostly positive. i'm buying a brand new 2.3L Escape. sabi nila yung unang labas na 2.0L, sobrang lakas sa gas. check if that is the engine of the vehicle you will buy.

pero based on your profile name.....i'm sure you have decided already

[GTi]

Yes, the only M/T variant Escape available locally came with the 2.0L engine. However, it's a lot better than the A/T variant both in terms of performance and fuel efficiency partly also due to the much lowered vehicle weight. The 2.0A/T, particularly the 4x4 variant is overweight and underpowered, the idiotic transmission makes it even worse.

*rockiee_s: Hello there! I see you're looking to buy a new car again! Is it here in the Philippines or in your workplace? The Escape 2.3 is indeed a really good car. We have a 2.3XLS in Taiwan, fast enough, and still gets around 9km/L city (Taiwanese traffic conditions of course)

[Pinoy Escape]

Thank you for the comments, rockee_s and GTi. I don't have any problems with it right now but in case the car needs fixing where should i have it seen? Puwede na ba ang mechanic sa kanto? What do you think about Rapide? Re: detailing, where is the best in MManila?

[rockiee_s]

hi GTi. oo, medyo nakantyawan ng mommy to buy her an SUV. and if ever, its gonna be our first SUV.

she wants it as a gift for her birthday.

it will be used in manila.

you think it is a good idea to wait for the release of the Mazda CX-5? medyo luma na nga kasi ang Escape. ilang years na rin ang current body nya.

No!

Don't be a guinea pig and buy a car that's newly released.

Who knows, baka marami sakit sa ulo. Like the Accent in particular, Hyundai has been very good with their cars ... then the new Accent came out.

Well... Its up to you. The Escape is old. The basic design and platform originated from 2003! And it is in fact a rebadged version (or the other way around, your pick ) of the CX5's predecessor. But then it is a solid car one that would take you to places without fuss. In fact this one can take you to places other CUVs, except for perhaps the Grand Vitara, cannot. I'd say it's like the Volvo of CUVs. Not exactly the most exciting but among the most well built and among the most comfortable.
