Nice looking, functional crossover

I had a Nissan Sentra before and wanted something bigger. The Escape gives me the SUV feel without being too drastic a change from what I was used to. Great gas mileage and roomier than it looks from the outside.

Awesome car.

Very roomy and drives great. I have not had any issues with the car after 45,000 miles. Other than the routine oil change and tire rotation I have not had any other repairs made to the car.

Best SUV for the price

The Ford Escape is the best deal. The engine has the pick up when power is needed. I was surprised how much room there was inside.

Very happy with this vehicle

Smooth riding, comfortable. Lots of space inside . My wife and I enjoy driving this automobile . I would buy another. Huntington Ford Great is the best auto dealer I?ve been to in a long time.

Good small SUV. Comfortable and stylish.

Front vents are a little awkward and regret that there is no sunroof. Miss my v-6 but this one has good pick up. Interior is nice except there should be a small co partner to hold key fob or a comb. Center console is small and too deep. Only good for sunglasses.

Bad gas mileage/ uncomfortable driver seat

It?s ok. 2016 Escape. I bought it used 6 months ago. gas mileage is no where near the average stated for highway even on a 6 hour trip. The front seat leans on the left side as if all the padding is damaged. I?m really disappointed in this vehicle. I would not recommend.

So far so good

I've only owned this Escape for 2 weeks, but so far it's everything I read about in the reviews. I took the advice of many reviews and made sure I got the model with the 2.0L engine. It's very quiet and comfortable, has more toys than I'll ever use, and has averaged 27 mpg so far through 3 tanks. I don't like how Ford charges $150 to update the maps in the onboard navigation...I'll just keep using my phone.

Comfortable SUV

Especially like the seating. 10-way passenger seat sold the car, as my passenger is short! Also like the power lift tailgate and the keyless ignition.

One of the best that I have driven and owned

Good value for the money, would buy another in a few years. The equipment provided easy to use! It is good to be able to buy American made.

Very comfortable car to drive.

My husband is over six ft tall and the Ford Escape is the first small suv he has been able to drive with lots of leg room. We love the classic look of the car and absolutely love the large backup screen.
