Excellent mid size SUV

Decent performance and fuel economy, handles turns like a car, very quiet inside and the ride comfort is great

Motor Trend got it wrong!

I bought the 2017 Ford Escape SE 4WD with Ecoboost. It goes from 0mph-50mph in 2 seconds. Not a rough ride at all-comfortable, smooth, and safe. I bought this vehicle because of the safety features and it is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. After purchasing and driving many different makes and models according to Motor Trend reviews, I have no complaints about this SUV. They got it wrong in the past, and they definitely got it wrong with the 2017 Ford Escape.

Nicest Car I have owned

after driving the Escape I had to buy one. I fit perfectly in the car and the ride is terrific. I really enjoy all of the features especially, hands free and ecoboost.

Better than expected

Wasn't sure what to expect when I drove the Escape. But after driving other brands in the same category the Escape met and exceeded my needs.

First SUV I have ever owned.

Of all the vehicles I have ever driven, this is by far the most comfortable. I feel safe driving it and will enjoy using it in the winter.

Reliable car.

The test drive was very comfortable, in the driver's and passenger seat. It is a real beauty and we are very proud to own it.

I've only had it for 3 weeks and I love it!

It's a great vehicle. I'm actually looking forward to drive in the snow with the automatic 4wd feature

Like the Ford Escape

I have owned an Escape since 2005 so I replaced my older one with a new 2017 this weekend. I have only had my new Escape SE for a few days and I am very pleased!

Great Family Car

This car met all my needs very perfectly. I would recommend this car to anyone any day. Not too big not too small. Just right.
