Great value

Car is perfect for our needs. Has all the features we were looking for in a smaller SUV. Will make a great vehicle for short or long trips.

Great car

The Escape came with a top safety rating. It drove extremely well. We didn't have a problem with it but only got to drive it for a little over 30,000 miles because we needed something bigger for our family. I enjoyed driving it and felt it was reliable when I had it.

Very happy!

I've only owned this car for two days but I'm smitten with it. Comfortable with a great quality feel and all sorts of bells and whistles to play with. Looking forward to many happy miles in my Escape!

Worst one yet

This suv was the worst car I have ever owned. Constant navigation issues that dealer could not fix. Engine was a big concern as at 11000 miles the engine had to have a small block replaced. Ford does have an issue with the 1.5 turbo engine. Vehicle was out of service for a month while repairs were made an NO vehicle was provided to me at all. Dealer did not care and neither did Ford Motor! I was so disgusted with this vehicle as soon as I got it back from the dealer I got rid of it! Sorry to say I will never own a Ford product again! Do your homework and stay away from these vehicles.

One of my favorite vehicles for everyday driving

Comfortable and runs well. The 1.5L has all the power needed to handle all situations. Interior is plain Jane, all wheel drive goes amazing in the snow. Great overall vehicle

Great Car

This car has a lot of legroom, very bright headlights, a lot of USB ports, and it's fuel-efficient. The tech in the car is easy to learn and I can connect my phone!

SO FAR..... SO GOOD

I LOVE the color. I love the added extras - large screen, navigation on the screen, phone contacts installed in the car, blue tooth, Sirius Radio. I haven't even driven 1000 miles yet and so far I have no complaints. I miss some of the additives from my trade-in but the new color outweighs those things!

STOPPED in the middle of the intersate

I was test driving a used 2018 Titanium and the car STOPPED dead in it's tracks going 70 mph on a busy interstate highway. No power whatsoever. Total shutdown. Thank goodness, there was no one tailgating me, and I was able to get to the shoulder. Can you imagine the trauma if an 18-wheeler were behind me and couldn't stop !!!
