Never test drove a Ford, really like the car.

I was impressed with the Ford from the start. My previous cars were sedans and then I got a Kia Sportage, nothing was wrong with it but wanted to trade it for the value and the Kia dealer no longer was in the area, wanted a SUV comparable in size. The Escape was the one! Liked it so well, I bought it.

Most tech savy car I've owned

This car is probably the best or second best car I've owned. This car is easy to get in and out of, since both my wife and I are senior citizens and have trouble moving real well. The safety features are what brought me in and had quite a lot to do with the decision to purchase it.

This SUV is brand new to me. I love it!

I love the room in the vehicle along with the safety features, including the blind spot mirrors. I like the additional features that make this vehicle a pleasure to drive, including the heated seats, blue tooth, easy to reach controls, power seat adjustments, and dual temperature controls. The interior is well designed, comfortable and attractive.

Nice looking and classy looking vehicle.

I cannot get in all vehicles easily; but I could get in the Escape easily. Also, I love the Ruby Red color. I had to get the Ruby Red as people tell me I look good in red!

A quality vehicle for families with special needs

The 2018 Ford Escape is a solid, small SUV that not only met our needs but exceeded them. The trunk can hold a folding wheelchair/transport chair while still leaving room for groceries. Unlike with most cars and some SUVs, the bumper and compartment are flush - you will not struggle to lift equipment "up and then out". There are enough tie-down points to keep oxygen bottles from rolling around on curves. Seating is comfortable, and the driver has a good view of the passengers behind. The height provides good ease of egress, a vital component for anyone transporting an elderly parent or someone with limited ability to squat or lift with their knees. Driver and front passenger climate controls (on our model) make it easier to provide warmth to one while keeping the other cooler. The dashboard configuration puts everything in reach without detracting from the road and traffic. The driver's electronic seat controls offer a wide variety of adjustments to suit any frame and age. There are very few blind spots for this vehicle. We recommend this vehicle to families with special needs.

New car

I love it. I have owned several Ford cars. This is my seventh one and my second escape. It is roomy but not too big to handle.

Bought Ford Escape SEL

This car is very comfortable and easy for my husband and I to get in and out of. Plenty of room in front and back and cargo area is very roomy. It drives very well, and easy on gas. I would definitely recommend this vehicle and in fact I already have to several friends!!
