"My second Escape. Love the small truck performance, styling, 4 WD, everything. Dependable and reliable. will keep forever or until Ford goes back to SUV style. 2013 model is a sissy car--little mini van."

"I had been considering buying this model for two years. When they cahnged the 2013 body style to look like an egg on wheels, I knew I had to find a 2012 before they were all gone. The vechicle is everything I wanted. Excellent handling and gas mileage. No road noise inside the cab. LOVE the Sync!!!!"

"I have been driving cars with V-6 or V-8 so it is a step down to a 4cyl. The 4cyl engines have a lot more exceleration and power than 4cyl of 10 -15 years ago. I am really notice when my trips to the gas station are fewer times a month. For city driving it is great. I have not taken a road trip yet. The road tests on web sites are not demanding enough for this car for testing. I want to test the performance by driving from Phoenix to Flagstaff Arizona,- going from about 900 feet above sea level to over 10,000 feet in a couple of hours. I expect to crawl on two large hill climbs, but I am hopeful automatic shifting down will do the job. The suv is quiet, comfortable and good visability. Great for women to handle with children and shopping. Good storage behind second seat."

"The 6 cyclinder has plenty of power. I do not race SUVs and 240 HP is actually more than enough. This is a true SUV so it has a high profile so you cannot corner as fast as some of the newer stationwagon looking SUVs. The interior looks great on the Limited I cannot speak to the lesser models."

"Absolutely gutless! When you hit the accelerator the engine screams and nothing really happens. Fuel economy is low. Too "springy" of a ride. Transmission will jump and clunk when braking then accelerating quickly. However, I did get a lot of features for a decent payment. I still can't wait to end my lease and get a Toyota."

"No Power, Gas milage not great, Bumpy ride, suspension sucks, Hard to get in and out of vehicle, it is a 4 cylinder front wheel drive, overpriced for what you get, all models of Vehicle should become all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, can't comment on driving in snow because not enough snow to write about, only took a two year lease of vehicle and glad I did."
