Bless you my guy. Leave them with their Toyota propaganda. They think the whole world must drive a Toyota. I've told Op that I drive one, I even went as far as dropping my number for him to call me and if possible book an appointment to have a look at it. I have driven it for 2yrs now and still counting without visiting a mechanic. I'm NOT selling it, just to buttress my point if need be. Interior is ok for a car of that price. Fuel consumption is superb. No issues at ALL. Quiet engine, still looks as clean as a fresh toks despite driving it for 2 yrs. The body is rugged and I MUST say I'm really impressed with FORD.

Na wah mehn. Seem some cannot just explain or debate in a civil way. Not every debate should have a "winner". We can all talk about the merit of what we perceived as a " better car" but at the end of the day, we aren't the ones paying for it but the OP. All these insults and bickering back and forth isn't the way. OP, I tend to go for a test drive here before I buy a car. I understand that this may be difficult in naija but what do you have to lose to pick up the offer of @pato405 and have a look. You have nothing to lose. Also if anyone is offering for you to have a look at other brand, it is worth doing so. 2 Likes |

Ill be blunt: toyotas are more reliable than fords: on average. But you guys make ford look like a piston throwing, oil leaking rusty orgasm of a car, which is not the case! Ive been driving an '03 Ford focus for almost 4 years now and the problems that ive had can be all related to me foolishly buying a locally used 'tropicalized' car-and even those are few! So op, if you do go for that escape..id recommend a non locally used one.... oh...and some trivia.....My neighbour owns a Toyota Avensis and its been hell for him? How do I know? He joins me almost everyday to work! ![]() Ps: I really cant see how a '15 camry looks better than a '15 fusion! most consumers sites seem to agree....but then opinions are like noses; everybody has one!! 4 Likes |

We understand that some have used a couple of Toyota, Honda but upgrading is sometimes being bored with the cat after a couple of months and people do that with Toyota a lot if it's not a car that you really liked or fit your personality you will sell it soon buy eat YOU really like. Those who have never owned other brands might feel strong about the only your of cat they know but those who have tried or driven several might v feel different. Toyota and Honda have good resale value because they are the only brands the third world know Americans do not consider the third world as as a market that is why you don't see dealerships in Nigeria go to China and see the competition what the numbers really count.Arguing about 13 years old cars does not change the status of our market OP go test drive your options 1 Like |

If you like blow the whole grammar wey you know or copy the little english tenses from your cheap android phone, its does not make the price of the camry and the ford focus/escape the same price. Now, back to the alma matter, is the camry a good car......yes! is ford escape/focus a good car/.....hell yeah, I repeat, except its a brand new ford or the OP's status/ Official car , he should avoid the Ford. 2 Likes |

Re: Is Ford Escape A Good Car by sultaan(m): 9:56pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
kingreign: The trend in the auto industry is affected by the price of gas. The Japanese started selling more car because American makers were focused on trucks and big cars.Until Ford and GM started their eco boost the smallest engine for their compact was the 2.0 when Toyota was using a 2.2 in the Camry note the American cars were compared to the 1.7 Corolla, civic. Models bigger than that had v6 .Now they have more midsize and compact in the market things are getting interesting.If you know what is in the market now then you'll understand.Most Nigerians are working from the view of 8 years ago start comparing cars from 2009 CAFE standard I'd forcing smaller engines. Impalas and Taurus now have a 2.0T option fusions, kia don't have v6 anymore |

billy187: Don't get me wrong, my Escape was a dream ride to drive but when the issues started kicking in I felt like someone was spiritually draining my pockets through the devilish car... cars like women have different temperaments and where one model could be bliss to one man, it can be hell to another... But on the average ford escape is a difficult car to maintain and even harder to keep in prime condition once it starts acting up |

Fulaman198:If I could switch from an Infiniti QX4 to a Toyota Highlander, and a year later I bought an RX330 (which is still a Highlander) and I haven't replaced any thing, and none of the Cars (Lexus and Toyota) had slept at a workshop or developed fault despite my heavy usage of the Highlander which will be 4 years in February with just one brake pad change since I bought it apart from normal scheduled oil change, then no one can stop me from singing about the wonders of toyota. My aunt switched from a Carina ii, to a Camry 2001 2.2l i4, and now uses an RX300 yet none of these cars had disappointed her. My uncle used a pencil light before it was snatched at gun point in Mararaba, a year later, he bought 2005 CAMRY 2.4l i4 and yes its still going strong.

Re: Is Ford Escape A Good Car by kingreign(m): 11:07pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
Fulaman198:To even start with, the fabric upholstery and interior of my 2003 highlander still looks pristine as we are speaking, same applies to my rx330 charcoal black leather and dashboard. Everything is still as clean as I bought it. Engine steams with vapour in morning, gear changes are smooth, the shocks are still good (I used my highlander for lots of offloading and carrying of cement and site materials when I had site works after which I clean it thoroughly) Compared to my Infiniti whose leather started to rip apart at the driver's seat bolster area, and the wooden cover of the cup holder in the centre on sole broke apart and had to be glued permanently. |
Re: Is Ford Escape A Good Car by Fulaman198(m): 11:13pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
kingreign: I know, Toyota uses premium materials and their interiors stay intact for many years. An example is compare the leather interior of a Camry XLE/Lexus ES300 from 1993 to the leather interior of a 1993 Volvo 850. You will find that the Toyota interiors never wear and tear. Only the people who drink Toyota Haterade would tell you that Toyotas utilise cheaper parts. If that is the case, why do their cars rank #1 in longevity and reliability. It's as if people don't use their brains, or the Toyota Haterade has gone to their already ossifying brains. |
Re: Is Ford Escape A Good Car by sultaan(m): 1:44am On Sep 23, 2015 |
There is the number one car maker in the world then there is number two, three etc they all have competing models but not all of their models is number one in its category so if someone recommended the number two or four model in its category will you consider such recommendations evil or could it just be that it it what that individual likes.The best car in the world is not necessarily the best for every individual. I could tell OP to buy a Chevy Equinox which is more popular that the RAV4 now. If OP can only afford the Escape but not the RAV4 why can't he buy one 3 Likes |
