I'm surprised to find the Escape there. Mine (2001) served me very well; at 320k+ miles it finally crapped out (water jacket leaking BAD). But hey, over 320 thousand miles, with minimal maintenance?

Consumer Reports has just about the shittiest methods of determining reliability ever.
Toss that shit in the trash, and head over to True Delta.

Didn't consumer reports rank the Corvette Z06 lower then the two exotics it was up against despite having a far far lower price tag and beating the exotics in almost every objective test because IT DIDN'T HAVE CUP HOLDERS.
Yea, you read that right. They rated lower because a sports car didn't have cup holders. |

It looks like the Escape is the eco-boost version and the Taurus is the turbo version. No mention of the average run of the mill vehicle. My MIL has an Escape with about 100k on it and nothing done but tires and brakes. My son has an 06 Taurus that fixed for him when it had 30k on it. He has 130k on it now and other than Tires and brakes only a coil and two o2 sensors |

From our vac. cleaner, TV, blender, cars, truck, etc. I have found them to be very good at picking winners and losers. I don't mind what I pay for CR, I believe it has saved me much more and probably a ton in aggravation. AND, why the hell do I want to know about a cars reliability for at the age of 4 months?? What fucking car doesn't go 4 months without a problem? Stale data?? RIGHT?? ETA: Only once in my lifetime have I purchased a first year model. Don't do it..... wait until the next model year. Ford EcoBoost owners should have waited..... I'm not interested in being a test subject. OH, and just what kind of data can you report in 4 months? How many miles driven? |
