Very smooth ride

It is little smaller than I thought before I bought it but over all am enjoying it but I wish the seats are not comfortable as I thought.

Super excited about my purchase

I just bought this one. I drove an 2018 Chevy Equinox and the rod of the Escape was far better. I got the Escape with the 2.0 engine and it rocks. The Equinox interior and infotainment was much better (Appleplay) but the Escape felt so much better to drive and it was cheaper. The next day I bought it and it snowed and it rocked in the snow.

Love Ford Escapes

I like this vehicle because it's a nice sized SUV for me. It's easy for me to get in and out of and comfortable to drive. This is my 3rd Escape and I like the improvements made in styling, motors and technology over the years. It is competitively priced with other SUVs in it's class.

Wonderful vehicle to drive and view

I love everything about it. It drives great. The Sport selection on the transmission is helpful in hilly Pittsburgh. The Escape looks great and has many great features.

Most reliable car I have owned

This car has larger doors, higher, better ride and more room than the Cadillac we traded in. Better engineering and dependability than the cadillac as well. Love fords engineering so I also bought an F150 lariat due to reliabilty, ford's free oil changes and drive train for life policy. Can't go wrong. Much better than any GM product I have owned.

2nd Escape and both had motors to blow

First escape mother blew at 90k. Loved the first one and thought well I will try again. Wrong!!!!! Brand new 2018 motor blew and it has 21 k miles. Ford is having to rebuild the motor completely. Will never own another one and would not recommend this car at all.

Luv the escape

Had an escape prior to this one. It is a smaller suv, but i love the size and the ride. The car handles so good. Can see out of it all the way around. It is a pleasure to drive. No problems with the car.

Beautiful classy and jazzy

This car is cute, classy, and jazzy. Its fast and built tough. I like how it save on energy by turning off the engine or idling down when you're stopped at a stoplight or stop sign.
