Test drove and bought a new car!

I just got this car it’s an AWD so there’s no pressure for turning on 4x4 when needed. It’s got cruise control and a backup camera and heated seats.

Affordable basic SUV

The reason I bought this vehicle is the price I can afford and needed a SUV with very low mileage and that is what I got. It is noisy on bad roads and very quiet on nice roads. I used to own an old Lexus sedan which was quiet no matter what roads, so I just have to get used to it. The gas mileage is much better and needed space to haul stuff with since I was getting tired to call my friends to help. It is a nice vehicle but basic it is.

Love So -- Bought 2

Great vehicle. the all wheel drive adds a bit of weight to what would be considered a lighter feeling car. Love the pep of the EcoBoost.

Reliable

It’s okay for a smaller skinnier family folks Maybe where people are smaller ... looks good on the inside and outside it’s too small for big and tall folks

Unreliable car I have ever owned

This car needed a new engine in less than two years. Less than 15000 miles on it. The car dealer has had it for almost a month and just now taken it apart has to redo every thing. And he tells me at their dealership alone pugmiier ford they have had to replace 6 motors. And He Justin said is nation wide. I. Am so unhappy and they act like they dont even care.

One Thing After Another

I was VERY excited about this car when it was new because it had all the bells and whistles of safety features and had high safety ratings from the insurance industry. BUT, over the past 11 eleven months it has been one thing after another. The first problem was that the just plain STOPPED in the middle of traffic. Today I picked it up after being in the shop for 35 days and it has an entire new engine. Great to lease, but do NOT BUY IT!

My wife is very happy, so Im happy too.

We specifically wanted to add the back up warning feature and automatic rear gate opening. Physical issues made these features very much appreciated by my wife.

Great car for a college student

My son uses this car to go back and fourth to school. Has been a great vehicle for him! We will be buying another for our daughter as she departs in the fall!
