Absolutely love it!

Had a minivan for years and was looking for something smaller yet large enough for my family, my dogs, and my equestrian supplies. This SUV is absolutely perfect. It is stylish and roomy. Gas mileage is fantastic. I could not be happier.

Good performance compact SUV

The 2013 Escape was the first year of the Escape redesign. The car has performed well and has never left me stranded. My Ford dealer has done all of the maintenance and has done a good job at notifying me when there is recall work to be done. Maintenance every 5000 miles is a little more than I was used to paying for other vehicles, but at 100,000 miles I feel like the car has another 100,000 in it, which is why I bought it in the first place. The car has great pickup and averages around 25 miles/gallon with mixed highway and city driving. I have very satisfied to have the power to work my way through difficult traffic when I need to and the wheel is reliable in bad weather conditions. The cargo bay is big enough to handle most of the chores I use it for, and when I need to moving bigger loads, the 2.0L engine is more and enough to pull a small to medium sized trailer. I especially like the sporty styling with this generation of Escape. I am sad that they put a big hairy chrome grill on the new generation that just came out this year. Fortunately, I am not in the market for another for the next five years :)

Great car

These cars were not very attractive up to 2012 but when they changed the entire styling and the way the car handles and with the 2.0 eco boost engine it?s a powerful engine that gives you enough passing power or when merging on the freeway

Awful

Awful!!!! The coolant system is shot and it's a newer vehicle. I can't believe all of the issues I've had with a "new" vehicle. Junk!!!!!

Just bought this car. So far we love it.

So far so good. I had a Ford Escape 2008 previously and loved it, I was definitely buying another one. I?m hoping this 2013 is as good if not better than my 2008. So far it rides nicer. I am happy right now.

Pleasantly surprised how much I?m enjoying my Ford

After owning several top of line foreign vehicles, this is my first Ford...and I?m enjoying it. Good gas mileage, pleasant interior and exterior- and pleasant ride. I have rented a few while out of town and my wife talked me into buying... and I?m glad.

Small, but reliable

Loved the 2.0L eco boost engine. Great fuel efficiency and very zippy! The panoramic moonroof was a wonderful feature. Very nice vehicle, but too small for my family.

Best vehicle I?ve ever bought!

After totaling my previous car (Ford Fusion) I wanted a Ford but I wanted a safe and reliable car that I could trust and I wanted more room. The Escape is everything that I have wanted in a vehicle. It?s incredibly comfortable and spacious without being too large. It?s a quiet and smooth ride, and I feel safe when I travel. I especially love the Bluetooth capabilities that the Escape offers. Overall, this is my favorite vehicle I have ever owned.

First Ford I've Owned In Awhile

This car has everything I need in a automobile, plenty of leg room as well as all the bells and whistles. The 2.0 liter engine has power and shifts seamlessly. I get compliments on my Escape all the time.
