FORD ESCAPE/MAZDA TRIBUTE The Ford Escape and its Mazda clone, the Tribute, are mechanically identical unibodied SUVs with a relatively low curb weight, decent fuel economy, and plentiful power. Both debuted in 2001 and remain essentially unchanged this year but for trim changes and the addition of a luxury Limited model at Ford. These are fundamentally front-drive vehicles, with an independent suspension at both ends. These small sport-utes come with a standard 127-horsepower, 2.0-liter four, and a 201-hp, 3.0-liter Duratec V-6 is optional. The four-banger comes only with front drive and takes 11 seconds to hit 60 mph, but the V-6 drops that to a spry 8.5—even with four-wheel drive. The steering is quick and tactile, and both versions are fun to drive, but each feels less substantial than a Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4. And although they top the sport list in their class, they get ordinary marks in utility.
