Perfect Fit

I'm a 76 year old granny who still has a lot of living to do, so I chose the Ford Escape. The controls are easy to use for an old brain, getting in and out is easy for old knees, the power-lift tail gate is easy for an old back, the back up camera and other safety features give me confidence to keep on traveling, the navigation system assures I will always be able to find my way home and the view from the cockpit is great for old eyes. Above all, the quality inside and out makes ME LOOK GOOD !

Love my new SUV

This SUV is very comfortable and reliable!!! It works wonderfully in the snow. Very spacious with plenty of room for my needs. Spacious enough to comfortably fit 5 adults.

Great Little SUV

I bought an Escape with the 2.0 liter EcoBoost engine, with AWD and the Cold Weather Package. It came with so many nice features standard, like the back-up camera, SiriusXM for 6 months, power front seat, paddle shifters and I could go on and on. I had previously had a beautiful Fusion and was concerned that I wouldn't be as happy with the difference in style. But living on a dirt road, with a long hill to climb to get home, an SUV was really the better choice, especially in winter. The Escape has plenty of power, the paddle shifters are fun and helpful when going down hill, and it feels as roomy as the Fusion. It is also nice to be up high again. It is too soon to judge the mileage or the reliability, but based on my Fusion, Ford cars are pretty reliable. The ride is very comfortable, and the engine is quiet, so cabin noise is minimal. The auto stop/start is new to me, but it works flawlessly. At a full stop, with foot on the brake, the engine shuts off. As soon as the light turns green and I take my foot off the brake, the engine comes to life in a second and off we go. I'm not sure how much gas that will save, but every bit helps. If you are in the market for an SUV, this one is wonderful. I've had CRV's and this Escape is just as good, in my opinon.

Great Car

Our third one, have had nothing but positive experiences with the Escape models. Great car for a family, great in the snow (4 wheel drive) and other than routine maintenance, needs nothing.
