The Ford Escape Hybrid AWD system is not mechanical. I own a 2005 version that is fully computerized and requires no user input. As for gas mileage, I got almost 40 mpg going 60 miles per hour on the American Interstate Expressway System--402 miles using 10.3 gallons of gas.
As for reliability, no problems to speak of.
