Great value for the price.

This was our first car in twelve years. Lots of new electronics to learn. The only thing I was surprise at was the gas mileage was a little low.Seems to be a little understated. I know this is a EPA rating but I would like a little higher.Right now it seem to be about 24 mpg whether your going 40 or 65 Mph. I have a Se Eco- Boost I.5 L and it performs excellent. The ride was good( I had a Grand Marquis before)so its hard to compare. Overall I think this car will serve us well being that we are both retired.

Tons of room, great price, and feels very safe. I think for the money, this small SUV is a winner! Love it!

Best First Car

I had driven my family's Escape to school and work while I was living at home and I loved it. So when I was asked if I wanted to lease a 2017 Escape, I jumped on the offer. I have the lowest end model available, so it doesn't have a rear sensor but it has the backup camera; it doesn't have navigation or sirius xm but it has a cd player and SYNC. I love my Escape, it gets me to and from school (about 3 hours away) safely. If you do a lot of driving just be prepared for higher gas station bills.

Awesome

This ford escape is a very nice vehicle. The fit, trim are very good, and bettet then most. 2.0 litter turbo engine seems bigger then what it is. The four wheel drive is also a big plus for Iowa driving. Very happy with both our ford escapes. 2016 and 2017.

Great suv for mountain road traveling

I have a house cleaning business and travel steep ,gravel and dirt roads. Never knowing what a raining season will do to these roads, the escape has not failed me . Super car for a long drive or a quick trip to the grocery. Have not had it on snow and ice as of yet, time and a change of season will tell.

One of the Best Vehicles I've Ever Owned

The new Escape is truly a superior vehicle. It's roomy, handles like a sports car, powerful yet fuel efficient engine, looks and feels great and fun to drive. I would recommend it most highly.

Great compact SUV

This small SUV has plenty of power thru its 2.0 Ecoboost engine. The ride and handling are very good for an SUV. Gas mileage is excellent at 30mpg on highway! Great value for the money

Best car I've ever owned!

This car meets all of my needs. I needed a mom car and this one was in my price range and was exactly what I was looking for. It has lots of room for my family and plenty of trunk space to fit a stroller and much more.
