Most beautiful car I have owned in years. ?

I feel very comfortable in this car. I like the style both inside and out and everything else about it. The seats are very comfortable and there?s lots of leg room. Everything is easy to operate

My 2017 Escape

This car is exactly what I wanted, no special perks. Rides nice, looks nice and is good on gas. The Escape 1.5 eco boost engine is quite powerful..

Economical and very roomy!

The color attracted me to it! Then I test drove it! My car looks small from the outside but when you get in and sit down, oh my gosh! I just love everything about it! The comfort, storage places, instrument panel assess ability of everything and the backup camera is great! Can?t say enough great things about this vehicle!

No Major Issues After 50,000 KM

Bad news first ... Negatives: Road noise is kind of loud with this car. Also not great gas mileage, but ok. The stop/start feature is a bit annoying. (The default should be "off", not "on".) My passenger fabric seat is wearing out already. Positives: The SE model with manual seats has a very low EMF (ElectroMagnetic Field) when tested with my gaussmeter. Love that. I don't want to drive in a microwave. I'd buy this car just for this reason alone. Most cars "fry" the drivers and passengers. Also love that this car/model doesn't have radar. I know how to drive safely. I don't need the health risks of onboard radar systems. Overall really fun car to drive; gets you where you need to go and in style. Kudo's Ford. Looks like a home run. (You have gone from Fix Or Repair Daily to Fantastic On Road Daily) Note: If you buy this vehicle, get the 4x4 or AWD model. The Front Wheel drive model feels like it loses control when you accelerate quickly. Also, it was not great in the snow, but I only had summer tires on. (I am going to try winter tires this year.)

Great car!

I purchased the 2017 Ford Escape not only for the great gas mileage and appearance, but also the cargo space! Working with physically disabled, I need space to easily get a wheelchair in and out to transport patients and the Ford Escape has been perfect for my needs! It is extremely comfortable to travel in as well, which was also a must since I travel for work. Great features!

Fantastic SUV for Family and Fun

This 2017 Ford Escape has plenty of leg room for those of us who are tall and large people. Plus, it has a large space in back for beach gear & luggage. The back seats lay down to make even more room for larger items. Most importantly, this 2017 Ford Escape has a Government 5-star Safety Ratings.

2017 ford esca p se

This car has been a knight mare it was to be a retirement car . We figured it would be a nice car but it is not it is one of worst car i have ever had. The rear end need couch played replaced every 10,000 mile the escape only has 32000 miles on it so for life of the car this problem will on going. And the drivers door had to be realign.
