Any one has any experience with it? Is it reliable or does it require too much maintenance? It would be my only car so I cannot afford it to be in the shop all the time...

We looked at the 2008 escape all models and we ended up deciding the 4cyl was the better choice as opposed to the extra cost of the hybrid for minimal gain.

Just go check them out, do the math on the highway vs. city miles you'd drive and determine on your own if the extra cost is worth it.

There are a lot of NYC taxi cabs that are Escape Hybrids, so the cabbies like them!
