Escape in your Escape

The 2017 Ford Escape is a cool car. I was amazed at how much it had changed from the 2014 Escape I traded in. Technology is awesome.

A pleasure to drive!

The vehicle was well thought out, from the dashboard layout to the hatch area and the storage space. The 1.5L Ecoboost engine with the turbocharger has the power of a V6 engine! Great exterior design, smooth lines, great looks!

Love our new car

After a month of test driving similar models on the small SUV market, we decided on the Ford a we decided on the Ford Escape. We love how it handles, the knobs, switches etc. just felt a lot more sturdy than other models. It has the auto stop feature, which kills the motor at stop lights etc. i've heard people complain that the air conditioning weakens when this happens, but you can easily switch this function off when you are out and about in really hot weather. I do wish that roof racks came standard, but all in all we are very happy with our purchase.

Perfect SUV

I am extremely happy with my new Ford Escape Titanium. The ride is smooth, visibility is great, and the EcoBoost engine has the right amount of pickup to it! I especially love all the technology features - the touch screen, voice activation, etc. and it is easy to use. I am retired with 1 grandson and 3 dogs, so this is the perfect vehicle for taking my little family anywhere. The foot activated lift gate in the back is EXTREMELY convenient when loading groceries. Great Product!!!

Love the Car not the MPG

Ive driven this car for a few months now and once I got the right sitting position (my dealer called it finding the sweet spot) which took some work for me, I find this car a real pleasure to drive. Gas mileage though, well, if that is a top consideration, I'd have to say one would be disappointed. Im averaging about 18 MPG in city/highway traffic using Regular 87 Octane gas, which despite the premium recommendation is all this 2.0 Liter AWD baby needs. But for me, I am willing to pay the extra price (for now) on gas. I enjoy the premium quality sound system, the ride is very comfortable and thats important on pot-holed streets like we have in NY. It takes bumps very well.

Feel like we've stepped up in class

First Ford I've owned in several years. For the price we got more bells and whistles than we would of with Toyota or Chevy. Pleasure to drive, comfortable cabin, cannot complain

2017 Ford Escape S

The Ford Escape S which we purchased is the least costly of the Escape models and option levels i.e. steel wheels, thermoplastic wheel covers, fuel injected (non-turbo), etc. It's standard equipment, build quality, comfort and performance are impressive ! Job well done Ford !

My first NEW car

It was love at first sight. I didn't think I could afford a new vehicle, but the salesman, Mark Sutsko and the super staff at Sunbury Motors made me an deal too great to pass up. It has been a dream come true. Anyone in the market for a vehicle(new or used) should see the folks at Sunbury Motors. Tell 'em Nancy sent you.
