i live where its snowy and icy for like 6-7 months out of the year and i get my license next december or november and i need a car (im 14 btw) and i was looking at either a 2001 or 2002 ford escape and i was wondering are they good cars? will the insurance be high for it? what kind of gas mileage do they get? and also can you suggest a car for me? i dont want a small car i want an SUV or a truck because of the weather where i live, thanks
 
yes they are very good cars

insurance will be higher if you have a sunroof in it as to if you got one without the sunroof

gas mileage can go from about 16 to 25 miles/gallon. just depending on the engine size and if its a 4x4 or 2x4

if you can't find one you like try a ford ranger, explorer, expedition, f-150, f-250, f-350
 
First off, answering 20 different times is not a smart thing to do. Someone might report you for spamming. I see that your questions are private now, but I answered one of them last night.

Anyways, YES, it is a great car. The Escape is the class leader in gas mileage (the best being 28 mpg hwy). They're also a lot of fun to drive. The insurance shouldn't be too bad at all since the car is like 6 or 7 years old. Plus making you a female lowers the cost and if your parents place it as a PLPD vehicle, then it will be cheaper still (don't worry about what that means).

If you live in a snowy region, then I'd recommend the 4x4 package. If this doesn't automatically come with a V6 engine, then don't worry about getting that. I'm assuming that you won't be pulling any light trailers, so the V6 will basically just cost you more money in the first place and continue to cost more money with the lessened gas mileage.
 
Ford escape is not a good vehicle. try a 4wd subaru, that would be better.

You are only 14 and you can drive? You must be in South Dakota?
 
get a honda pilot!! more reliable, are you financing? cash? trust me if you will finance cars are a lot more with interest now adays so if you will get something, get what you llike and search search seearch.
