You Had Me at 4WD

This is my fourth Escape. I cannot say enough about the reliability, safety features, and the ease of learning it’s technology aspects. The Escape has safely gotten me through many Maine winters.

My first NEW car

perfect for me, great size, love the look of it. have had many compliments. I live in Canada and it gets really cold here, so the seat warmers come in really handy. :)

2018 Ford Escape

Very impressed so far. Finally drove on some bad roads and the 4wd is really good. Engine has lots of power. Overall car drives very nice. It is the Titanium model which has a lot of features!

Very nice car to drive and very roomy

Very easy car to drive. Some newer cars today have a boxed in feeling. This car feels very roomy and open. Large windows to see out of.

Poor on fuel efficiency and loud engine

I wanted a Ford because I drive an Explorer for work. I bought the Escape thinking it would handle as well and be as smooth. Instead, the engine is loud when accelerating and the fuel efficiency is poor. I'm filling up every 3 days just to commute to work. I was completely disappointed in my purchase.

First New Car Purchase

I was looking to purchase a used vehicle but after test driving the Escape, I decided to get it. The main reason was the gas savings for me and the nice color.

Completely surprised me

I hadn't planned to get this vehicle, but it was a great deal and great warranty. I've become fond of it, it's a great ride, good on gas, and does well in the winter snow. Lots of room and storage. I'm definitely Happy.

First new car in a long time. We love it

Good visibility, great light features. Didn't purchase one with power lift gate. Rear access is difficult because it goes up so high and is very heavy to close.

Love my new Escape!!

This SUV is great for getting around on our winter conditions. The gas mileage is very affordable so I drive this most of the time and drive my F-150 when I need to.

Absolutely Awesome!

This is our third Escape and by far the best one yet! We love the power of the 2.0 Ecoboost, very impressive. The interior is very comfortable and we'll thought out. The ride is good and interior noise is very quiet. We highly recommend this SUV to anyone. We have always bought Ford products and put hundreds of thousands of miles on them without any issues (our entire family now drive Ford) and expect this one to be the same. Overall: Awesome vehicle!
