I only had the car for 1 day

This car is great. I needed something that would get to work in all kinds of weather and this car should do it for me.

Most reliable care I've owned

This car is great on gas, reliable, and a perfect fit for my son and I. Also great for traveling, we took the car for a 13hr drive and made it without any complications. Usb ports to the space for luggage was great.

I Love It!

The car is very comfortable, clean and has enough room to be used for our needs. I hope to enjoy this vehicle for a long time to come.

this is the worse SUV I've owned

So many problems with less than 25000 miles. Engine blew up, had to get an entire new block. Then axl went a month later. Never ever will I buy a Ford again.

This car is a LEMON!!!

I have had nothing but problems for the last 6 months. The check engine light is blinking and the car is riding very rough. I have taken it into the dealership twice and they told me they were going to replace the short block of the engine. After two weeks, they only replaced a spark plug. My car is now doing the same thing

Nice used vehicle

I haven't owned an Escape before but it had good reviews. So I contacted LuAnn Campbell atJack Kain Ford in Versailles, KY. Would recommend them to everyone I know.

Engine trouble

Very disappointed. This is our 3rd escape and never had trouble with the others. Right now I'm shop for over 2 weeks to have a brand new engine with 30,000 miles on it. Not happy since I am a retired Fordworker for 30 years!!!!

A great value, for a small spot utility.

I am very happy with my new car. The 2.0 is peppy enough to give you the assurance to merge right into traffic. The sync system is nice, talking hands free for the first time was great. I am no longer distracted by the phone.

Needs bigger gas tank.

Really, my only complaints about this car is that for a small SUV it probably gets the lowest gas mileage of all of them and the gas tank is not very big. Since it's used for commuting, this is a problem. It's very comfortable to drive, and has plenty of room for traveling and hauling things. I have the Titanium model with from the bells and whistle standpoint it meets all my expectations. This one has the 2.0 liter turbocharged I-4 and has plenty of acceleration for passing. Even with the gas mileage issue, I recommend this car.
