I have an 07 escape that I bought after my Jeep Cherokee was totaled. I had a lot of reservations about the escape not being a "real" 4wd. My worries were unwarranted.
We are experiencing some of the worst snow and ice conditions in quite a few years here in the pacific northwest. Tonight I came out of the movie theatres to a blizzard that dumped about a foot of snow in 2 hours. On the drive home I passed numerous cars high centered in 2-3 foot snow drifts or slid off to the side of the road. A couple of times I thought I wasnt going to make it through and had to backup and then gun it. The escape performed great. As far as snow and ice I dont think the Escape is any less capable than my old Cherokee

Allow me to comment on this. I also live in the Pacific NW and on a 300 foot hill to boot. We've had 19" of snow and two 1/2" thick layers of ice here in the last 5-6 days. It is raining now and thawing out but for a while there, only my '84 F250 4x4 and the neighbor across the street were moving. His ride? A 2007 Ford Escape 4x4. Lots of Toyota vans, Subarus, and other "SUVs", some WITH chains, are still sitting beside the road. If I ever get another car, it will definitely be a 4-cyl. Escape.

Our 96 Explorer was good in snow, 03 Aviator is good, but so far the 09 Escape is better then both.
Very stable and really goes great. The bonus is the wife loves it.
