2010 Ford Escape consumer reviews

This is a great vehicle, Just the right size SUV for us and our large dog. The 6 cyl has more than enough power and gets great gas milage. The visibility is outstanding. Ford keeps me buying American.

I was looking for AWD and decent mileage as my main goals. Expected tiny and underpowered. Very surprised. Much bigger than I thought. 2.5 liter engine accelerates very nicely on ramps. 22 mpg avg. 26 mpg on highway. Did amazingly well during the last big snowstorm with traction and control. Pros: Plenty of room for 5. Ballistic nylon seats. Very good AWD. Mileage. Additional lower headlights for wide angle, great for dark streets around here. Only cons: Back seats do not fold down completely flat for cargo. Low towing capacity (I have another vehicle that can tow, so not a problem).

I purchased this vehicle because I have owned Fords for the last 19 Years. I have owned Expeditions and Explorers and the Escape gets better gas milage. It is a good riding car and gets great gas milage

I'm happy with the Escape. I love the backup camera and the Sync System. It would be nice if the heated seats had at least two temperature settings, but its great to have them on cold mornings. It handles very well and is comfortable to travel in.

This is the 3rd one of these we've had since 2004. The 1st one was "stripped" (4 banger, no options) for one of our daughters going to college. It made it through that, her brief golf pro career, a new marriage and now a banking job. 2nd one held up for another daughter finishing college and teaching inner-city for 3 or 4 years (she bought that one, loaded, when she got married). The new one is loaded and we love it - 9000 miles in 3 months with a trip to Oregon (from AZ), 2 trips to California and much Phoenix running around. Love the extra power this year, much quieter than the '04 or '06 and the Sync stuff is cool (even if I don't "get it" all).

Trying to be practical, I purchased the Ford Escape - one with a moon/sun roof was not in my budget but I really like the SUV....I would have preferred to have a convertible automobile because I am a convertible enthusiast...but my Escape has been a great little car so far....gas mileage is good and performance is good and is very roomy....

Have driven this incredible car for almost four months, and still love my new Escape. It has lots of storage, practicality, and good design, but also a great deal of fun! I bought the "Limited" trim package, and got everything I was looking for. Even though I wanted the 6 cylinder, I ended up getting a 4 cylinder, and still get a good bit of fire from the engine. No, it won't keep up with a Ferrari off the line, but I also won't have to refill in twenty miles either! The only draw back is how much Microsoft's Sync fights against my Apple iPod Touch. Sync is still a wonderful feature that I wouldn't give up, but I recommend getting a Microsoft-friendly or Windows Media driven device instead!

I absolutley LOVE this vehicle! I've never had a problem with it at all. Perfect size for a myriad of duties - e.g. I've camped in it, hauled a trek bike in the back, assisted during a move, and carried all my friends around town. It's got great MPG! I've average 21 MPG with mostly city driving and some highway miles. One negative is the highway noise is a little higher than normal, but I've gotten use to it. I've recommended this vehicle to all my friends and family!!

At the time of review, I have only owned my 2010 Ford Escape Limited for four weeks. Overall I am very pleased with Ford's Escape. Although I do think the power of the 3.0 Liter Duratec V6 Engine does not quite match the weight of the overall vehicle, it can still compete quite well to the competition. Handling is very impressive, especially while driving on unpaved roads in rural areas. There is some outside noise while driving, but not enough for the average driver to be bothered by it. Interior space is plentiful, and the interior design is noticiable in a good way all over. The Microsoft SYNC system is a breeze to use, and I always feel safe using it while driving, because of the fact that is is all hand's free. I do have one knock off, and that is the Ford Escape's Premium Sterio. I have heard better sound quality out of my father's 2008 Chevrolet Silverado LT, which does not contain GM's premium sound package. In the end, the Ford Escape is always ready to work for you when the time calls.

Even tho we've had our 2010 Ford Escape for three months, we have less than 700 miles on it so far. So while we are very happy w/ the features that caused us to choose this model, mileage, spaciousness, and appearance, we'll check back in about 5 yrs and tell you what we've learned about reliability. We plan to drive this car for at least 20 yrs., so looking forward to reporting back then, to say that she met our expectations.
