Hey everyone, I'm looking at 2011 Escapes and am most interested in a manual transmission. These are pretty tough vehicles to find. I was able to find one about an hour away to drive and it seemed pretty easy to stall, and sort of tough to find 1st and 2nd gears while cold. Might just be that I'm used to driving a 5-spd truck that is hard to stall. Does anyone have an opinion on these? I'm interested in any thoughts on how the 5-spd handles with hill starts, snow, and heavy city traffic. Thank you for any input.

I'll second the dificulty in finding one, I had to look quite a while and also found one an hour away. Easy to stall - these things are pretty high geared, you have to start out in 1st or have a lot of rpms up to keep from stalling. I agree it feels nothing like a truck and takes a little getting used to - especially the short throw, but once you're used to it you can really fly through the gears. When it's warm though it's really smooth. I'm guessing that's just the fluid? Maybe a synthetic would help, I don't know - but it's honestly not that big of a deal. Hill starts - Never been an issue for me- might need a few more rpm's if you want to take off at any kind of speed though. Snow - This is one place I'll have to mark it down. Mine's only a 2wd so your milage may vary, but taking off in 1st is a waste of time, you'll spin way to much - you keep moving forward, but it takes a while and you'll tick off anyone behind you. Taking off in 2nd seems to cure that though, you need a few more rpm's but you don't spin near as bad. As for actual driving in snow it's fine - the front wheel drive really seems to grip pretty well. Stopping is the same as any other vehicle. I've never tried a hill start when it was really slick - I think that might be a challenge but I'm not sure. As long as there's some sand or something down it's no problem, but fresh ice or slick snow might pose a problem. City driving - I live in a fairly rural area but I have driven it in larger cities and it's really not that big a deal. It does get old if there's a light or stop sign every block though. But for just average city driving I've never had a problem and am used to it now. It is a bit of a pain if you're on the phone and have to shift a lot... Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for the replies, that helps alot. I'm interested in the manual because I do enjoy them over an auto, I think? I'll have a better chance to hit the mpg ratings, and I like the durability of a 5-spd over the automatics. The constant gear changing and high rpm's of the automatic with a 4-cylinder drive me a little crazy as well. Yeah the Wrangler I drive is geared so low that I actually can't stall it even if I don't give it any gas. So when I stalled the Escape several times I guess it spooked me a little bit and didn't have time to get used to it on the test drive. If the darn thing wasn't so far away I'd go do a test drive again sooner. Do you have to run at a high rpm 3-4 just to take off in 1st gear? You will get hang of smooth starts quick. We can get those numbers. In summer highway trips at 65mph have hit 31mpg. Drive over 70mph and mpg starts to drop like a rock. Have to remember you are driving a box.
