What We Drove
Our black-on-black-on-black Escape weighed in at $30,910, including the $665 destination charge. Granted, that included $4,015 worth of options over the $25,330 base price, but even if you factor in the eventual barrage of Ford incentives, there are better buys. On paper we admit it sounds good: a $2,395 navigation/audiophile audio system, 17-inch chrome wheels for $695, a luxury package costing $795, and the Limited’s V-6 engine and all-wheel drive. However, the Escape is unfortunately less than the sum of its parts.
