really?..it can actually fly?..i should get one of these..

LOL!

Transmission needs to be confirmed or verified. Someone already posted that Select Shift is not a DCG. So a clarification is really in order.

It would be odd that the Escape loses the DCG but all their lineup, including the Fiesta has DCG. But I would understand why if the DCG issues can't be resolved as it is not compatible with our driving conditions (extreme crawling traffic)

Escape uses a 6-speed SelectShift (torque converter) automatic just like its big brother, the Explorer.

The Getrag-Ford dry-clutch DCT (PowerShift) for gasoline-engined small Ford vehicles was not designed for high-torque.

Hindi ah. Usually may sariling family na ang bumibili nito. Ang explorer yung kadalasan ginagamit ng mga rich kids. Tignan mo, halos lahat ng may ari ng explorer nagpabili lang sa dad nila.

Minsan pa nga dalawang sasakyan isang year. Ganyan talaga ang mga rich kids, demanding. Akala mo kung mga sino.

Oo nga. Nakakasawa na yang monkey crap ng troll na yan. Paulit ulit na lang. Retarded ata. Tapos mamaya sasabihin niya: "this repetitive moron is blah blah better than you". Walang ibang masabi.

The Rav4 might've been left out because it's one of the least sulit in this category. All these models are very competitive in terms of features/toys and value for money.

I agree, your money is not worth it

Kung resale value ang paguusapan, Honda CRV ang panalo.

Personally, I really don't get the question why resale value is important as I think deciding on vehicle purchases should be til it breaks almost or can't serve its purpose/is to hard/expensive in terms of upkeep/maintenance.

So I believe the better question is can it last more than 5 years from regular ownership/use?

I think it losing a DCT as mentioned would be a better guarantee against it and the only real question would be the Ecoboost engine issue which is related to build up inside the cylinder (you can check this out on YT happening in the states).

So I am unsure whether they have resolved that design issue.

Because some people like to change cars after X years (in the case of the one who asked the question, 5 years). For whatever reason. It could be because they don't want to shoulder the expensive and time-consuming maintenance that's bound to happen after 5 years, or they get the car through a company car plan, or they simply think a 5-year old car is old, and they want a new one. So to some, resale value is important. To others, no. It really depends on one's situation and/or mindset.

Let me guess.. Mazda fanboy ka no? At yang sasabihin mong mas magandang itsura, cx-5 na naman yan.

HINDI ako mazda fanboy..(I have 2 personal cars..one bold H and the other one italic H)..at aminin na natin it does not look cool and yes cx5 looks better..

At ano naman ang hyundai at honda mong good looking?

I have my good old '09 vera cruz at pinalitan ko na yung '03 altis ko ng bagong jazz, and I personally own those cars.

What?! Seriously? If you consider the vera cruz to be good looking and the new ford escape to be hideous, should have your eyes checked, pronto.

You're making me laugh kid. Consider the year the vera cruz was designed and how did the escape looked at that time.

You didn't understand. What I was referring to was this all-new escape vs your vera cruz and how you described it as hideous. You have no right to say that the escape is hideous since you own a vera cruz. By owning a vera cruz, I already know that you have bad taste and you saying that the escape is hideous means that its actually good looking.

Oh, even before, the escape already looked better than the weird and disfigured abomination called the vera cruz. Its actually one of the ugliest cars to have ever existed.

You really know how to make people laugh...lol! Sorry but I still find this car HIDEOUS compared to; santa fe, cx5, xv, sportage, xtrail. If its the ford edge, I would have agreed with you then.

Its okay, laugh as loud as you can. At least I can afford a Vera Cruz.

You can't afford good taste though.

Hmm, this other guy is implying he has good taste. May we know the cars you own?

One does not have to be a genius to figure that you have bad taste.. Its universally accepted that the hyundai vera cruz is one ugly mofo.. And it passed your standards. That says a lot about your taste.

I just want to try something new kaya VC ang kinuha ko, at buti na lang VC ang kinuha ko at hindi yung matakaw na cx9. Tama nga naman yung nagsabi na sinasabi mo na may good taste ka, pero matanong ko, ANO BA ANG SASAKYAN NG TATAY MO? LOL! And by the way, nung sinabi ko na hideous ang escape, ang ibig ko'ng sabihin e, pangit siya kung ikukumpara mo sa una; cx5, at ikalawa; sa santa fe. At siguro I really have a bad taste, kasi ang na sa isip ko na ipapalit ko sa VC, e dodge durango imbis na yung poging explorer. And I honestly can't afford german CUVs. HOW ABOUT YOU?

I'm not the same person as Mr. Veracruz here if it's not too obvious to you, you idiot. I'm not even a fan of the Veracruz. So what's your ride, tasteful guy?

Guys, why does it have to be a pissing contest everytime in the comment sections with the lot of you?

There should be nothing wrong whether you like the Veracruz or Escape. You will prefer one over another. You rarely have the chance/opportunity to pick both or, heck, all vehicles on the market just so you can say you own it to shut everyone up.

It's a subjective preference anyway so why should it matter to you what someone else picked to be their ride?

And with the issue of the Veracruz, just to be fair, that was before this generation Escape was launched, and at a time when it was positioned with more premium that the Sta Fe back then.

Someone started with the "HIDEOUS" comment which if you don't agree with it, then just skip it.

To each his own.

I recently bought a civic fd, 2nd hand but at least it looks way better than a freaking vera cruz.

friend, you used a very offensive word in describing a car or any matter.
hideous means exceedingly ugly, morally offensive, shocking... next time try to use a more palatable word. you will surely be flamed in doing so.. You might be right in your own term, but expressing it in public forums will backfire against you... take this as a learning.

Lesson learned then. Thanks a lot. Peace.

Woah!!! what a fight

If I have read this thread earlier, I would have nominated my Ssangyong Stavic as the best looking of them all! You hurt my feelings by saying that my taste and choice of car is wrong huhuhu

Well at least I'm not one of the herd crowd....

Parking sensors cost about P2K or more depending on how many. The default is usually 2 sensors, but last time I inquired online you can specify the OEM style 3 or 4 sensor systems similar to the higher trim models. Those would probably cost more though.

Nope, Previous gen Focus MT. Rides well, handles well, has good NVH, perfect successor to our previous British Fords. We skipped the Laser and Lynx.
