So far I am loving this car. Great features.

Great features including backup camera and other safety features. Driving is a pleasure. It is comfortable, easy to get in and out of and like the extras included on this vehicle.

Happy Escape

I purchased this Escape a few days ago. I traded in my beloved F-150 because I reached a life event to where I needed my car payment to go down about half of what I was paying on the truck. My family has had Ford's all my life so their was no question in what I wanted when trading down. Their are plenty of small SUV's that are popular in the market but I wanted to stay true to my brand. My parents own an older Escape that has been the best car so that is why I chose the smallest SUV I could think of owning for years to come. An Escape! Only have had it a few days but so far here are some things that I have learned that may be helpful. I purchased the SE model with the 200A package meaning i.e. 8 inch touch screen. If you get the regular SE without the touch screen you cannot start the vehicle from your phone. If you get the 200A package with the touch screen... you can! Going from a 5.0L V8 in my truck to a 1.5L turbo is night and day. It gets the job done however, I wouldn't plan on winning any drag races in it haha. If you want something with more torque spring for the optional bigger motor... the 2.0L. Second, apple car play is a cool feature I just wish you could access it through bluetooth... in order for it to work you have to plug in the phone through USB. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and the incentives were awesome! They got me right where I wanted to be payment wise. Overall if you are looking for a small SUV the Escape is one to look at! Such a good looking SUV!

Beautiful, smooth comfortable ride. Love it!

This car is a dream come true. It meets ALL our needs. After test driving several other cars none came close to the comfort I felt. Handles beautifully. Great gas mileage.

Love it so far!

Great value for a great car. Sporty, comfortable, and inexpensive. Was looking at lowering my monthly payments. Ford was having great incentives, lowered my monthly bill by almost $200 a month.

Cannot complain

I wished I still have ford fusion instead of ford escape; for a change is needed to meet my budget and provide my services as courier. SUV is at lest what I need for now but not better suv to own.

Best vehicle I have owned so far

It runs so smooth and quiet, it is the comfiest drive I've ever had. I often make 10 hour drives in one day and I don't feel sore or uncomfortable the whole time. It has so much horse power that I never notice it gear down when I drive up big valleys or pass people on single lane highways. It is okay for had, depending on how you drive it. It had less leg room in the back then my last SUV but the seats find almost nearly flat.

The Great Escape

Luxury appointments in a smaller package. Great overall handling and performance. Retailer experience was exceptional and will keep me as a Ford owner from here in.
