Subaru Forester vs Ford Escape Design Comparison
The design of the Subaru Forester and that of the new Ford Escape is well done with sleek and modern looks but it doesn't take long to notice some substantial differences. For instance, you and your passengers will have over 10 cubic feet more room to stretch out in when you choose the Subaru Forester. Despite all of this extra passenger space, you will also enjoy slightly more interior cargo space in a new Subaru Forester and, unlike the Ford Escape, the new Subaru Forester comes standard with roof rails on all but the entry-level model. It's pretty clear that the additional money you would spend on the Ford Escape certainly isn't affording you better room and convenience.

Subaru Forester vs Ford Escape Performance Comparison
Take a look at the performance numbers for the new Subaru Forester and Ford Escape and you find that the higher price tag of the entry-level Ford Escape doesn't provide a higher level of performance. In fact, the Subaru Boxer engine that comes standard with the new Subaru Forester provides slightly more power and since it is a flat engine with horizontally opposed cylinders, it also enhances handling with its low center of gravity. When equipped with a manual transmission at the entry level, the Subaru Forester gains roughly the same fuel economy as the entry-level Ford Escape which is only available with an automatic transmission. Of course, whether your traveling on slick winter roads or exploring off the beaten path, the standard Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive will far outperform the standard front wheel drive of the Ford Escape. Spending even more money to get a new Ford Escape equipped with 4-wheel drive still won't provide better capability than what is found in the legendary Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive system.
