Motor Trend got it wrong!

I bought the 2017 Ford Escape SE 4WD with Ecoboost. It goes from 0mph-50mph in 2 seconds. Not a rough ride at all-comfortable, smooth, and safe. I bought this vehicle because of the safety features and it is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. After purchasing and driving many different makes and models according to Motor Trend reviews, I have no complaints about this SUV. They got it wrong in the past, and they definitely got it wrong with the 2017 Ford Escape.

Nicest Car I have owned

after driving the Escape I had to buy one. I fit perfectly in the car and the ride is terrific. I really enjoy all of the features especially, hands free and ecoboost.

Better than expected

Wasn't sure what to expect when I drove the Escape. But after driving other brands in the same category the Escape met and exceeded my needs.

First SUV I have ever owned.

Of all the vehicles I have ever driven, this is by far the most comfortable. I feel safe driving it and will enjoy using it in the winter.

Reliable car.

The test drive was very comfortable, in the driver's and passenger seat. It is a real beauty and we are very proud to own it.

I've only had it for 3 weeks and I love it!

It's a great vehicle. I'm actually looking forward to drive in the snow with the automatic 4wd feature

Like the Ford Escape

I have owned an Escape since 2005 so I replaced my older one with a new 2017 this weekend. I have only had my new Escape SE for a few days and I am very pleased!

Great Family Car

This car met all my needs very perfectly. I would recommend this car to anyone any day. Not too big not too small. Just right.

Great value for dollar

Can definitely recommend this car. I got the larger engine (2.0L Ecoboost) and it never fails to deliver power on acceleration or quick passing on the freeway. Handling is responsive without making the car feel wobbly. The fit and finish of the interior is good, and there are plenty of conveniences in the cabin. SYNC 3 is intuitive, and the gauge cluster, while not the most elegant, is actually wonderfully simple. Sitting high on the road is nice, and you feel like king of the road with all the glass around you.
