2018 Ford Escape consumer reviews

My whole family has or has driven a Ford vehicle and I've driven them all with no complaints. Whatever they've done to their vehicles since 2013 is atrocious. The brake and accelerator pedal positions have been changed making it impossible for the driver to get into a comfortable position. You'll find that the brake pedal is too close to you and adjusting the seat won't help at all. You'll find yourself in a seat position where you're too far from the accelerator or too close to the brake pedal. If you can't get the seat comfortable then anything great about the vehicle becomes useless. My leg hurts when I drive the escape or any Ford vehicle made after 2012. Beware if thinking about purchasing a Ford vehicle made after 2012!

I just purchased me second Ford Escape, but this one is a step up to the last one I owned. In 2015, I purchased a brand new Escape with Navigation, heated seats, but no leather or sun roof. I had traded in a loaded 2010 Ford fusion, so I was used to a luxury interior. The escape was a very reliable vehicle. Easy to drive, efficient on fuel and comfortable. I like to joke that I just bought a new Escape because my check engine light came on, but I realistically just wanted a lower monthly payment. I was DEAD set on getting a loaded Focus or Fusion, but after testing out both of them, I ultimately went with another Escape. The main reason being the horse power and how fast they could 'get up and go'. This one has very comfortable leather heated seats, a moon-roof, an excellent Navigation system and apple car play. I love it a lot more than I thought I would and in 4 years when my lease is up, I could definitely see myself getting into another Escape.

I love finally having automatic windows and locks. and the Slick look of this car is on point. The ride is smooth. It's very easy to figure out setting, and I love it.

We really like the Escape easy to drive, technology is great, drive is smooth and a joy. The interior is very comfortable and the trunk space is great. We love the versatility of being able to fold down back seats. Highly recommend this car.

I love this car. It feels like I'm driving a big car even though I can whip into small parking spaces and in and out of traffic.

Car is great. Safe, sturdy and loaded with safety features to help my teen drivers. Quality is perfect. Price is great given the options on the vehicle. We'll be buying another one!

We love the features and the ease of using our new Escape. You can do so much from the steering wheel and it feels comfortable while doing it. The Eco Boost engine has plenty of power for a compact SUV. We got the 4WD and the big difference is how traction is used off road. There are several places in Colorado that our AWD Subaru would do but had some struggles if the road was muddy, and the Escape just goes right along without any problems. Great for getting away in the mountains. NOT FOR JEEP trails, but definitely those 4 wheel drive dirt trails where a regular car won't work.

I like the vehicle. Rides nice and has plenty of features. A bit small but pretty comfortable. I am leasing the vehicle and it a sound investment. All the functions work well.

I am so so happy with this car. I got the perfect model as far as what I wanted, but it was hard to find this combo: 2018 Ford Escape SEL in Ingot Silver in 4WD with sport package (black wheels and accents), light stone interior, and panoramic moonroof. It's so awesome! I can start it from my phone in my house, or set it to start at a time the night before, as well as unlock and lock, check my fuel and oil levels all from my phone. It's peppy around town and adequate on the freeway. With the safe and sound, I have the adaptive cruise control, lane assist, blind spot and cross traffic alerts. The Sync 3 has all the features you could want when you're on bluetooth, including Apple and Android apps. The panoramic moonroof is really cool when its raining or nighttime. The hard part was finding the sport package with that color AND the SEL with the moonroof but it was so worth the wait. I'll put it this way, this is the least I've ever spent on a car and the most compliments I've ever gotten on one! It just feels right when I get in it every morning and drive to work. As a Realtor, the car I drive is an important part of my image and day-to-day tasks. This is great for picking up and showing homes to clients, carrying my open house signs, and everything in between! Okay, I'll stop talking now!

First of all I didn't like the interior of this vehicle. When I first drove it, the handling was terrible. I have driven from 1998 jaguar to 2018 Toyota Tundra. This is by far my least favorite and I don't want my friends to get these kind.
