Stiffest riding car and many issues!

Very rough ride, only 30k miles and everyone who rides in my car complains, you feel the road very well. Also the trans has a jerk and is not smooth, it's so bad it got me slapped because my fiance thought I was doing it. And third it rattles, I drive it on rough roads and gravel and the front end rattles so bad I have turn my music to 15 to drowned it out. Ford knows my issues and refuses to fix them.

Awesome SUV for the money

The Escape is like the SUV version of the Ford Focus. I own one of each and I absolutely love the way both drive and handle.

2014 Ford escape

This car is quieter than my 2014 escape, but gas mileage not as good and the ford pass isn't the most reliable thing. Next year I'll install a regular auto start. The 2l ecoboost is very reliable and smooth which is my reason to go with this second one. Also the cruise control was easier to use than in this one. In my opinion the 2014 had better features than the 2017. They were both SE.

Nice size SUV

Love the shape color and all the options. Handling is great. Very quiet and solid. The panoramic roof is definitely a good option to get. The extra storage at the spare tire is a goo idea.

Good Performance but lots of minor problems

I have owned the 2017 Ford Escape 2.0T for 1 year now. Its surprising fast and has enough room for the average family. But with the performance it never gets the MPG as advertised even when I am trying to baby it. The interior is very well designed but there are a lot of minor problems with the electronics. IE the auto shutoff function, and when outside temps r low the trans is sluggish to get into reverse. Hopefully Ford fixes the minor issues bc for the class it is enjoyable.

Stylish, Economical and Fit my needs

This Compact SUV fit all my needs. Very spacious, as I am 6'4" and fit comfortably in all seats. The interiorer is very nicely laid out and looks good. I have the two tone charcoal. The 1.5 EcoBoost is nice and snappy, and pulls my small trailer well.
