"My Ford Escape Limited has a beautiful Tuxedo Black Metallic exterior & a Camel Tan Leather interior--very striking! Very smooth ride, very easy handling & very roomy. I love the ambient lighting, heated seats, & blind-spot side mirrors. It gets great gas mileage. We are a "Ford Family" & this vehicle lives up to what we expect & get from Ford. I would buy another Ford Escape Limited in a heartbeat. I love my 2011 Black Ford Escape Limited. Oh--her name is Raven."

"The Escap that we purchased is an excellent smal SUV. The back deck is roomy and easy to store in. The seats fold flat so there is no awkward leaning of items. The vlaue for the money is excellent. We got the six Cyl. and it is snappy. The only compaint I have is the comfort. Everything was above average but the car is rated by me as good."

"Bought a 2011 Escape XLS 4WD in April 2011 and completly satisfied. Great gas mileage, smoot ride, safe, and great handling. However, the four cylinder is a little underpowered in this vehicle, I live in the hills of Maryland and the truck does struggle at times. Also, the seats are a little hard. I do wish Ford still made these in manual 4WD instead of automatic 4WD. Gas mileage is great for a 4WD in the area I drive in averaging around 22-24mpg. Overall, I am very pleased with this vehicle."

"I test drove the Escape along with some other smaller SUV type vehicles. It drives well though I still ended up buying another car. My problem with the Escape was, for the mileage, the overall interior space is a bit cramped. Folding the seats is a chore. What unsold me was the exposed spare tire under the body, a tight back seat and the low fuel tank capacity. The car was too over-economized for my purposes, even if it has one of the lowest purchase prices for its class. The estimated ownership costs outweighed the purchase savings for me. It is a great car for those who mainly haul small loads around town and take an occasional trip to the country. To compete with the foreign automakers, the Escape needs a longer driving range between fill-ups, better cargo space management and some kind of spare tire cover as standard equipment. The winter road salt could make a mess if the spare tire was needed during that time."

"I researched mid-size & small SUVs,Vans and Minivans for the past year. Shopped at Honda,Toyota,Kia and Ford. We've had the Escape 4 months now and are perfectly satisfied. It's attractive, comfy,has cargo room, rides quietly and smoothly, handles well, and is great on gas. Love the Michelin tires. And its a safer vehicle."

"I got this car in Florida for two weeks. Never drove a Ford, so I said why not. The car was one of the two options at the time. The car is verty underpowered for a SUV. Transmission is terible. The car jolts most of the time when changing gear. The cabin is very noisy, poorly designed and the plastic used of very poor quality. Once you go over 75 mph you can hear wind draft. I got 24 mpg going mostly on highways at 80 mph. By the way, car was almost new with only 6,000 miles on. And who in the world is still using a three feet antena sticking on the side of the car? Positives: seats we confortable enough. Elecrtic seats adjustments and automated lights were nice on a rental. Also the handling was fine and one the car got to the crusing speed it seems to be in its zone. Not sure what some people found so nice about this car to give a four or five stars, but my old Chrysler Concorde '99 is shear luxury compared to this car."
