Good vehicle for today's gas prices

Traded in my truck as we are expecting our first child. I needed something cheaper on insurance, payments and fuel and this vehicle delivered all three of those in spades. I have Sciatica so I needed comfortable seats that would allow me to drive and feel minimal pain, this car also gave me that comfort. I recommend this vehicle to anyone looking to save money.

Good vehicle. Not the best I have had.

This vehicle meets all my needs and has been very reliable so far. The only real issue has been a continuous issue with the power lift gate. It will not latch completely when the Windows are up and the doors are closed. Seems to be very airtight, to much so. Been in the shop more than three times for this issue. Still not fixed.

Very nice daily driver and much more.

This car fit the bill of a commuter car, and so much more. It?s such a pleasure to drive. Fuel economy is fantastic. Seats are comfortable, and enough power to get me around. IMO, this is all I need to go in style.

Great vehicle!

I'm very happy with my 2017 Escape Titanium. Had an issue immediately after purchase with a faulty wiring harness for the driver's side airbag, but the dealership fixed it quickly and I've had no problems since. Only things I would improve are the size/comfort of the back seats (they are short and not very comfortable), and I'm not thrilled with the rate of acceleration of the 1.5L EcoBoost. Otherwise, excellent vehicle!

Fun ride

I expected it to be sluggish and strain to get going but i was wrong. Being a front wheel drive with the 2.0 turbo you better hold onto the steering wheel. Only problem so far will be for whom ever sits in the middle of the backseat which is not as comfortable as the others. All together though it is fun to drive and plenty of options.

Best suv ever!

love ?? this suv. This is my 3rd one. Great mileage, comfortable to drive and great in the winter weather. We have lots of snow in Waterford. I lease the vehicle. I have found this to be the best for me
