Fun to Drive!

Feels tight to the road. Very sporty and responsive for an L4. EcoBoost great help (I own 2.0L). Only downside for me personally is the slightly smaller trunk than the older models.

Bought a car for my wife

Bought the Titanium and it had everything my wife wanted as far as options. She loves it. I will come back when I?m ready for a new F350.

Very reliable vehicle. Smooth ride.

This vehicle meets all my expectations. First car I have ever had heated seats in. This has come in very handy over the past few weeks.

Great small Ford SUV. Good lucks and fun to drive.

Really like the looks of the Ford Escape both inside and outside. It drives like a car with good power from the 2.0 Ecoboost. I purchased a black Titanium with a few options keeping the car around my target price of $33,000 msrp before rebates. My story.. I was looking for sedans first, then small suv's. I was walking off the lot when my sales person ask me to try this, pointing at a black Escape. I had driven other brands, but was not impressed with most, and found their pricing high when adding on a few options I wanted. Well, I drove the car on what I call an extended test drive. A few hours later I was back and to my surprise, sold on this great little SUV. I should mention. I traded my 2015 Chyrsler 200S. I have some good and several bad things to say about that car, but a different story for a different time. If your thinking about a vehicle thats good looking, comfortable, handles extremely well, has peppy 4-cyl and has room to carry 3 or 4 additional people around with you. Oh by the way. Behind the second row seats, you'll find a Nice area for hauling suitcases, golfclubs, groceries, etc.. Need more hauling room, then kick out the 2nd roll passengers, recline those seat for room enough to haul a large size recliner. It's also a great vehicle on road trips. Unlike some other brands, the back seat is thick, comfortable and reclinable. My wife and I liked my Escape so much, that see purchased a new 2017 Edge Sport. Imagine that.

This car was design to vibrate over 80KM/h

I purchased a Ford Escape 2017 in June 2017. It vibrates over 80 km/h. Ford made several attempts to fix the vibration but was unable to fix it. Finally, the vehicle was examined by an independent consultant who concluded that, ?this symptom is a design feature and normal operating characteristic for the vehicle.? Unless you want a vehicle that vibrates you should not buy this vehicle.

A very nice car to own!

I always was a Chevy person, my husband has dementia and needed a car he could get into without any trouble and have plenty of comfort while traveling, this car suited all our needs. I am very pleased with our purchase of this Ford product!
