New to Ford and to the Escape

Just bought a Ford Escape and wanted to see if theres any warnings about them,What kind of gas mileage,Are they good Mini SUV's? Thanks

If you look at the "Curious about reliability" forum you can see the history of my Escape. They are either very reliable compared to others, or not many of those with problems know about this forum to post their complaints. Just make sure all the recalls are taken care of and that it has the replacement brake reservoir cap.

Not as trouble free as our Toyota, but far less trouble that our Jeeps.
01 Mazda Tribute...bought new, now 69K...recalls for the egr. Tires go fast and brakes and rotor need changing. Two sets of these all ready.
