Reliable, All styling, Quality

Terrific review, nice ride and a smooth handling compact suvs. This one u have is a SE model. It has a good reputation for small performance, towing, cargo space. Good on fuel mileage, plus it's low cost up keep. I, like the cargo space, and the top luggage rack. Seats are comfy, mine are both heated. These compact suvs hold there value really good.

Commuting, Good gas mileage

I, have been enjoying this suv for a few years now. It's been very reliable, easy going on fuel mileage. Nice body style, with towing hitch. Interior design is fancy, lot's of nice quality things. Stereo is pretty good, navigation plus other apps. I'm a happy owner and I'm going to keep cruising around.

Fun, Fun, Fun

The most reliable of the models is the 2.0 turbo engine and the Titanium body style 4WD This has been the most fun Ford I have had since my Explorer Sport in 1999

Do not recommend

Bought this car 2 years ago. The past year, nothing but problems. 2 fuel pumps replaced, coolant leaked into my engine which there is a ford bulliton on. Its not a recall because ford dont want to pay for recalls. I do not recommend anyone getting this car. #horrible. Check bullutons

Jonas

Bought Ford Escape in 2018. One month after warranty, coolant leaked into engine, so that had to be replaced $8300. Four months later steering assist went out for another $3100. Huge disappointment.
