Love this car. Sporty, plenty of power for traffic

Like this car a lot. First escape. Sporty, and lots of options. Leather interior is great when you have grandkids! The eco boost is the way to go.

Great car!

This is my second Escape and it's great. I loved my 2010 and shopped across several brands to replace it last year. It came down to a Hyundai Tuscon or the new Escape. The Escape is just a little nicer and the price was the tipping point. I have an SE with the Sport Package and Sync3. It's an improvement over the older Escape because of improved view out and level of technology. The new Ford Pass app is a huge plus, that includes Remote Start for free!

Ford Escape Great mid size suv for money

Vehicle has many standard options and good power and torque. Good Options on the SE model. Only thing that could be better is the layout and lighting for video screen, the icons need to be bigger and shift lever panel isn’t lighted. Everything else in the interior is great.

Value, quality for the cost.

Nice design for a practical, reliable, affordable vehicle. Find average Ford product can last with minimal maintenance to 6 years. Would recommend the Escape for those who like a mid-size SUV.

Best Car I've owned yet

I previously owned an Equinox. When I test drove the Escape I was completely blown away. It was a great ride and I loved the various features. My only complaint is the head rests, they seem to be in the way of sitting comfortably, I'm always hunched forward to avoid them. I have adjusted them, yet it's still annoying. Otherwise the car would get all 5 stars from me.

Best buy for the money.

It fits all our needs. We use it to travel and it is great on the road. The gas mileage is what was shown on the window sticker. HWY 28 City 24 I'm pleased with the mileage.

Love my New Ford Escape

I love the way this car rides. It drives so smooth. I especially like the bluetooth capabilities and the sync features. I am very happy with my purchase. I haven't had an American car in years. I look forward to keeping this one for a long time. :)
