Perfect SUV

Compared to the 2017 Ford Escape Titanium I owned, the 2018 Escape Titanium is superior. This one is 4WD, 19? wheels, safe and smart package. It is perfect in every way. Seats are very comfortable, acceleration is swift, all of the technology works as it should. I enjoy driving it, it is quick and responsive, brakes are superb, remote start works perfectly and the interior fit and finish seems perfect. I like the body style, the interior is attractive and with the rear seats folded down the cargo space is very useful. The air conditioning is exceptionally good and appreciated in my hot climate.

Escape 2018 overpriced

This car would be a lot better if it was priced a lot lower than they have it now. It is comfortable enough. I will never buy a brand new car again that's for sure. Not worth the price.

So far it has been a very smooth riding car.

It is fairly new to me but so far its great. I can't wait to take it on a trip to really see how it runs.

2018 Titanium with towing pkg, Drive it !

Pros : Very good power for towing, acceleration. Smooth and quiet ride. Useful compartments for storage and junk like cell phones , eye glasses, etc. The typical reasons for buying a small suv like elevated seating, big windows, good room in the hatchback area. This small suv pulled a really heavy enclosed Uhaul trailer on a ten hour drive to Michigan over steep hills with ease. The 2018 also has nice amenities like adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, and lane keep assist. Cons : Kinda small gas tank . I turned in a 2016 exact version which had a much nicer stereo system, darker factory tinted windows, super quick go cart type steering and killer powerful HID headlights with high beams that could probably cause burns !, Really nice adjustable interior ambient lighting. The 2016 version also had better transmission gearing. The 2018 shifts into overdrive too soon and this causes a lot of travel in the gas pedal on hills. The 2018 also has the auto engine stop/start that I always have to cancel every time I start the vehicle. For now, at least it can be disabled because its very annoying.

First new car I have purchased & I love everything

I love everything about my new car. The color is beautiful, Ruby Red. It has everything you could ever wish for in a car, plenty of leg room, back up camera, heated seats, radio sinc with my phone, voice activated radio & navigation, just to name a few items.

Gets through traffic with ease.

We bought the SEL model because it had all of the options we were hoping to get and more. This vehicle is very comfortable on short or long trips.

I'm excited to own my Ford Escape

The Escape drives like a dream. It had lots of leg room and comfortable seats and space. I really like the cargo room and back up screen. I also like the fact it is not a push button start up, and that it needs a key.

Great little SUV

The size is perfect for me and I love the interior, light beige rather than the black of previous cars. Has many gagets that I don't know how they work, but I'm learning. Nice ride.

Love my little mountain suv ?

I love the Escape because you get the functionality of an SUV but it doesn?t feel to big. I traded in my fusion and although I loved my car it wasn?t fitting for my active lifestyle. The escape is perfect!

Roomy, comfortable and reliable

The vehicle is larger than my previous model and more comfortable . It has an eye catching exterior color and interior is loaded with many great features. I like it a lot. A great family car for yard sales, errands and shopping. Easy to park in large malls and shopping strips. Even the dog enjoys the wide back seat!
