Reviews of the 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Limited

CNET Review
The Good: The 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Limited gets excellent city and highway fuel mileage. Standard Sync system is among the best voice-command systems around. Hard-drive-based navigation option features traffic data and other useful info supplied by Sirius Travel Link.
The Bad: The Escape's ponderous handling and high level of road and wind noise made highway driving a chore. Low-rolling resistance tires offer very little grip in wet conditions.
The Bottom Line: Urban dwellers will love the 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Limited's great fuel economy and awesome Sync-based tech package, but freeway commuters will find its high-speed manners unsettling.
