2021 Ford Escape consumer reviews

So far Im really surprised with the 2021 Escape in all my needs. At the dealer I test drove 4 2020 escapes and they all all had a jerky transmission shifting as so many people claim in the 2020 Escape. I test drove 2 - 2021 escapes and both shifted perfect So I ended up with the SEL model and so far hasn't had that problem, shifts very smooth and the 1.5L 3 banger really gets up and goes. All around driving MPG is getting better, Im at 24.9 MPG and climbing with 236 miles. Had a 2019 Jeep Cherokee before this and its much smoother ride, better mileage and quieter at highway speeds. I will say this comparing both, the Escape is much easier to get in and out of for a older person 88 years old, very short mother with a bad hip and shoulder. She use to have a rough time of it and she didnt want no help. The escape since is is about 2 inches lower in seat height and narrower in the door jam makes all the difference to her. Windows are lower too so she can see out better as well. I looked as MANY SUV's and my goal was to find a easy get in and out of, this was my only choice. There were a couple others made in South KOREA that would have worked for her but they were just to small for my needs. So if getting a new car or SUV is on your list this might be the one your looking for.

Good car, but horrible dealership. Dealer never transfer the title, it has been a month since we paid. We are looking for a lawsuit for potential fraud.
