Owner

Perfect !!!!!!! Fits all my needs and my dog just loves it. He rides in the back and bark at all the cars that go by. He is telling them that they need to buy a new Escape at Walker Ford.

Enjoying our first SUV

Reviewed and test drove six other competitor SUVs before settling on 2017 Escape SE 2.0L AWD. Was concerned about AWD and mileage - especially after reading some reviews and websites - however the poorest mileage on a tank of gas was the initial one - 24 mpg (imperial gallons) mixed driving and just returned from a lengthy trip - got just over 33 mpg to the tank for highway driving (70 mph/ 110 kmh with AC on full blast) - and we found it as comfortable as the previous Fusion we owned. Love the instant pickup when you press down on the accelerator - if you are concerned about passing etc. or pulling a trailer or boat definitely go with the 2.0L engine - from chatting with owners who selected the smaller Escape engine the mileage difference is very minimal - well worth the trade off. The Escape is my first SUV - just turned 8 000 km - and we are really enjoying it. My only complaint is the engine shutting down at a stop - I question how that saves gas and wonder how quickly the starter will need replacement if it has to start up repeatedly during each shopping trip - although you just have to remember to press button on dash to disable this "fuel saving" feature.

Love The Escape!

This Ford Escape has many great new features. We like the back up color camera,and heated electric front seats,and ease and handling to drive it. Also the seats are comfortable and has plenty leg room.

Great car to drive and it handles great The looks

I can't say anything bad about this car. This car has great pickup when you hit the gas and for a 2.0 liter engine that is great

Great suv!

Had this SUV and my daughter had a bad accident in it. She came out with only cuts and bruises thanks to this car. We leased another because we love it and I know it will protect her. Happy to have had this car and happy to be leasing another. Great job Escape!

Best as first new car

This is the first new car I ever have and I really love it. It is worth for the money and it will be financially an even better as the 2018 model comes out. It has an excellent view of road compare to sedan and some SUV I have tried. Its acceleration is another characteristic that attracts me, 245hp means something!
