Has all the right features

If you get the Titanium trim level with four wheel drive and the 2.0L engine with 245 hp you will have a fun daily driver to get you through all seasons.

Ride is a dream!

Truly more spacious than it looks! Very sleek in design. Features included are incredible with the price. Very smooth, quiet ride. Mileage is AMAZING! Living "in the sticks" am amazed at how easily it tackles these hills. AND a 4wd to boot!!! IN LOVE WITH MY NEW RIDE!

Good vehicle

So far, seems like a good vehicle. It is a little difficult to get the seating and tilt steering in a good position, but no big deal.

Best car I have ever owned

This SUV more than meets my needs. It is roomy with a huge cargo area, has a stylish interior and exterior and has a really zippy engine. I was surprised at the amount of power from a 4 cylinder engine. I previously has a Hyundai Tucson, which also had a 4 cylinder engine, and compared to the Escape, the Tucson engine felt that it was really dogging it whenever I had to accelerate. Most importantly, I feel very safe in this SUV. Great value for the price, too. Good job, Ford!

My Dream Car

We owned a 2001 Ford Escape for 16 & 1/2 years. We unfortunately lost it to a recent rear end collision. We really wanted another wonderful & reliable Escape, so we got a 2017. It is truly an amazing CAR! We are so surprised that the 4 cylinder turbo charged engine is just as powerful as our previous V6 engine was. The Titanium model is so luxuriously appointed. We now can take those few 7 hour road trips a year, to visit the grandchildren, in comfort and style. ...the gas mileage is great too! We LOVE our wonderful new ESCAPE!

This is my second Escape

Ive only had the new car 2 weeks, but so far very satisfied . Its a great size, love being able to fold down seat, to be able to transport things. The 8 in screen and back up camera is great.

Good Ride and Value

The 2017 Ford Escape S was a great car to test out. It is stylish and comes with some great standard features like the backup camera. The ride was smooth and the vehicle has great acceleration. I felt like I was too low to the ground and too close to the front of the car although I would not say it is uncomfortable. I would not recommend this car for people over 6ft tall. There was decent cargo space but not a lot of storage space inside otherwise. This small SUV was a great contender.

Fantastic Ride

Needed to get a car easier to get in and out of then my Ford Focus. The Ford Escape fit the bill. The first thing I noticed was the comfort of the seats. The cloth seats felt very comfortable and the height of the compartment gave me excellent vision of road front and back. Instrumentation was equal to Focus so learning curve was no problem. Leg room is also excellent. As a replacement I give the Escape 5 stars.
