2011 Ford Escape consumer reviews

Averaging 23.6 mpg, not exactly the amount proclaimed on window sticker. I like the phone feature in the dash and I really like the sun roof.

Good overall small SUV; lot of get up & go. Only concern is the automatic shifting; tends to wind out in each gear vs. old Ford Escapes v6.

I downsized from an Explorer and am very happy with this car. It is all wheel drive but not that great in the snow.

My Ford Escape Limited has a beautiful Tuxedo Black Metallic exterior & a Camel Tan Leather interior--very striking! Very smooth ride, very easy handling & very roomy. I love the ambient lighting, heated seats, & blind-spot side mirrors. It gets great gas mileage. We are a "Ford Family" & this vehicle lives up to what we expect & get from Ford. I would buy another Ford Escape Limited in a heartbeat. I love my 2011 Black Ford Escape Limited. Oh--her name is Raven.

I convinced my daughters that we should get it and when i got it i puked.We couldent strech and i was driving i just dont think you would like it boo this car sucks.I felt like i was going somewhere but i wasnt i was steal; in the same place and it sound like a lawnmore when you drivve.

The Escap that we purchased is an excellent smal SUV. The back deck is roomy and easy to store in. The seats fold flat so there is no awkward leaning of items. The vlaue for the money is excellent. We got the six Cyl. and it is snappy. The only compaint I have is the comfort. Everything was above average but the car is rated by me as good.

Bought a 2011 Escape XLS 4WD in April 2011 and completly satisfied. Great gas mileage, smoot ride, safe, and great handling. However, the four cylinder is a little underpowered in this vehicle, I live in the hills of Maryland and the truck does struggle at times. Also, the seats are a little hard. I do wish Ford still made these in manual 4WD instead of automatic 4WD. Gas mileage is great for a 4WD in the area I drive in averaging around 22-24mpg. Overall, I am very pleased with this vehicle.

Solid good fitting doors. Ride is comfortable. Golf clubs fit well in back. Gas mileage is good even though is AWD and V6.

I test drove the Escape along with some other smaller SUV type vehicles. It drives well though I still ended up buying another car. My problem with the Escape was, for the mileage, the overall interior space is a bit cramped. Folding the seats is a chore. What unsold me was the exposed spare tire under the body, a tight back seat and the low fuel tank capacity. The car was too over-economized for my purposes, even if it has one of the lowest purchase prices for its class. The estimated ownership costs outweighed the purchase savings for me. It is a great car for those who mainly haul small loads around town and take an occasional trip to the country. To compete with the foreign automakers, the Escape needs a longer driving range between fill-ups, better cargo space management and some kind of spare tire cover as standard equipment. The winter road salt could make a mess if the spare tire was needed during that time.

I researched mid-size & small SUVs,Vans and Minivans for the past year. Shopped at Honda,Toyota,Kia and Ford. We've had the Escape 4 months now and are perfectly satisfied. It's attractive, comfy,has cargo room, rides quietly and smoothly, handles well, and is great on gas. Love the Michelin tires. And its a safer vehicle.
