Best SUV out there.

This car is not only nice to look at, but very comfortable to drive. I live in ND so winters can be brutal. Last winter the Ford Escape got around on snowy and icy streets and roads better than my F-25 4-wheel drive. Great vehicle. Ford financed and I got $3500 rebate, o% interest and a lifetime warranty. How could I not buy it.

Sharp looking. Easy/fun to drive.

This is the perfect SUV for me. It drives like a car. The decal (straight black stripe along length of car) really sets it off.

Perfect Car for ALL Occasions.

I love this car for so many reasons. It is spacious, reliable, and extremely comfortable. Also, the front windshield allows for a perfect view out of the car and leaves. This being said, I don't believe I would recommend it to any one who has a sensitive back or hip since it s a bit of a bouncy drive.

Very Impressed with the quality of the Ford Escape

This car met most of the need of a vehicle that I was looking for. Small yet powerful engine, Excellent gas mileage and very comfortable for interior. I am a large male yet I fit in it very comfortably

Love this car!!!

My husband and I had actually just purchased this vehicle as my every day car and I love It! It drives smoothly and so comfortable. I went on a trip for 8 hours and it was the most comfortable ride ever and the car handled very well! I will continue to stick with the Ford Escape for sure!

The Great Escape

The longer I have it, the better I like it. Soooo many years since Ive had a Ford, there was quite a learning curve. Plus, my love of older cars, made the Escape more of a change for me. However, it's steadily won me over to like & enjoy it more & more.

Think Twice: Road noise, wind noise, and BAD TIRES

Three things ruined my experience. All stars were reduced as a result. My Escape is loud. You can hear a lot of road noise and bumps. I also get a wind noise from the windshield when traveling greater than 60 mph. I have had it in three times now for the wind noise. My Escape only has 36k miles and the tires are shot. I am a good driver and had the tires rotated and balanced all the time. I was told by dealer that the Escapes come with really cheap tires. WHAT? Had I know that I would have either negotiated different tires, or not have purchased it in the first place.

worst car we've ever owned

Bought new , engine went out at 20,000 miles, ford installed new engine and it overheated on hills, had to continually lost coolant, always adding coolant. Sync Microsoft info system never worked well. Traded it off before warranty ran out. Went back to Toyota . Last Ford I will ever buy!
