#1 of 5 2008 Escape or 2008 Mariner by mable91367 Aug 22, 2007 (11:37 pm)
I am trying to decide between a 2008 Escape Limited or a 2008 Mariner Premier. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: kam108 (Aug 28, 2007 5:25 am)

Replying to: mable91367 (Aug 22, 2007 11:37 pm) I went with the Escape over the Mariner mainly because I thought the Escape looked sportier, and also because of the price difference. They're basically the same vehicle. Two things I would recommend tho. Compare the softness of the seats. The Escape's aren't very soft. Also be sure to buy one made after June 6 because the crash ratings go from 3star to 4 star for the driver/front. I'd basically go with whichever one you like the looks of better. There also may be better QC with the Mariner.

Price advantage. Can't figure out why.   Mark.
#4 of 5 Smoke or Steam from front of 2008 Escape by kam108 Nov 05, 2007 (5:37 pm)
Has anyone else noticed ALOT of smoke or steam coming from the front of their Escape after going through a carwash? There is quite a bit of it, and I've never had this happen with other cars or suvs that I've driven. It looks like something you'd see coming out of a car that's pulled over in the summer from overheating! Also noticed this to a much lesser extent on cold mornings. It goes away after a couple of minutes. It's noticeable by other people too. I've seen many looking at it. I did call my service dept. They said it's normal!

Replying to: kam108 (Nov 05, 2007 5:37 pm) I get that too. It's "WAY" too much smoking after a carwash. It's embarressing that if the dealership doesn't fix it, I will not use the carwash again. I'll wash it by hand. I'm very dissappointed in this. I go to the dealership after X-mas. I opened the hood after a wash, The smoke is coming from the radiator area, no water hit the engine it was dry.
