You should always research a used car before you buy it. Great job!
The 2010
Ford
Escape transmission has two options. You can find it as a 6-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual. Each version has pros and cons.The 6-speed automatic 2010 Ford Escape transmission is easier to drive, less work in heavy traffic, and better for hilly or mountainous areas. On the con side, driving an automatic means slightly less fuel efficiency and a higher cost to buy and maintain.
The 5-speed manual 2010 Ford Escape transmission offers more fuel efficiency, more control, a lower cost to buy and maintain, and a lower likelihood of theft (because fewer people know how to drive them).
Cons of a manual include the learning curve—you’ll need to learn to drive one if you don’t know how, and keep in mind that manuals are more difficult to drive on non-flat surfaces and more tiring on long drives or busy commutes.
