2007 Pontiac G5 or 2005 Ford Escape?

I have to choose between two cars, a grey 2007 pontiac G5 (car) or a 2005 Ford Escape (SUV).

Ford Escape: breaks will need to be replaced and it has higher milage. It is estimated to last about two more years.

Pontiac: being recalled due to a problem with ignition. It has no air conditioning and no electric locks. I'm just graduating as a social worker and may need to drive clients or do a lot of travelling in the car. Has randomly stopped before and left the owner stranded. It is thought that this has to do with the problem that the car is being recalled for. It did not happen again. The key gets stuck in the ignition as well, and you have to push a button under the steering wheel to get the key out.

Which would you choose?

I have a escape. I love my escape. I would get the Pontiac.

  • Is a 2008 pontiac grand prix a good first car? Hi I'm 13 and I don't want a junk car. I looked into chevy, ford, dodge, etc. But I can't find a good car. Would a this car be good?
  • Pontiac G6 or 2010 Ford fusion? I'm looking to buy either one of these types, the Ford fusion I'm looking to buy needs a motor but is good other than that. Weighing out my options is that I'd probably need to take the car to a shop if it was the g6 for problems since it's a foreign car but the fusion I know a couple mechanics who can always fix the car for cheaper if anything. Anybody have any input on this, which would be better in the long run? Which is a better car?
  • Ford Fusion vs Pontiac G6? I would like to know the pros and cons of each car. The 2010 Ford Fusion (base model) vs 2009 Pontiac G6 (loaded with a v6). Its a stupid question but I want to know which car has a smoother and more comfortable ride. I know neither car will win races but which car has more kick to it? What if the fusion had a v6?
  • Should I get a Pontiac Grand AM GT or a Ford Focus? I found a 2003 grand am with no issues as I can tell and a 2003 focus zx3 hatchback with no issues as well. Which do you think would be the better deal since they are both around $3k?
