    Rotten frame

    Rotten frame, full of rust around tie rods, and frame broke after a month of driving, got into an accident. Coolant pump went out too. The car was extremely dangerous and should never been sold for driving only for scraps and parts.

    Take it easy and enjoy the high MPG

    Though the MPG is reported at 36-city 31-Hwy when taking my time I could actually get up to 39mpg city and 38mpg Hwy. It is comfortable not luxury car comfortable, but very nice on long trips. I was saddened when Ford discontinued this and their claim the the C-Max was it's replacement fell far short of the mark. But as far as an entry level crossover SUV this is the ticket. Love this car.

    Very reliable car

    This vehicle met most our needs. There is plenty of legroom for someone 6ft 4 tall. The vehicle is very dependable would be great for first time driver or first time car owner.

    This car is great and I certainly did not expect F

    Great ride, quiet, fast, fuel efficient, comfortable, easy to drive with tight turn radius, great visibility, it's a smaller SUV that surpassed my expectations. I hate Ford's and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality.

    Best SUV ever

    This SUV averages well over 30mpg and has never broken down after 140k miles. It handles well and has excellent acceleration. I am 6'1" and 240lbs and the car is very comfortable. I'm a musician and there is plenty of room for me, my band mates, and gear too. If you are lucky enough to find one, get it. I'd love to have another one!

    Great City Vehicle

    This escape has been with me for 7 years, with minimal trips to the shop. It is reliable and comfortable, with plenty of leg room in both the front and back. The back seats fold down flat to maximize the space in the back. The hybrid part makes it a great car for traveling around the city, greatly reducing the time between gas station stops.

    Great Car, Dependable

    I've owned this little SUV since 2010. It's been very reliable, comfortable, and great on gas milage. Never had any problems with the High Voltage Battery! Basically I've changed the oil, routine maintenance, and replaced the tires, and battery. I now have 214,000 miles on the car and it's still running strong.

    Reliable Hybrid

    Quite enjoyable ride. this unit has over 180,000 kms on it, very good condition, mechanics overall impression was very favorable. Brakes looked original with over 80 % pads still left as the braking on the hybrid sends energy back to the battery, before actually having to make pad contact to brake the vehicle to a stop. With careful driving skills, I have no problem getting 36-39 mpg, especially with all the intown driving that i do every day on a 40 km commute. When purchasing the vehicle, the only key fob was actually worn out. I bought 2 replacement fobs on Amazon.ca , recieved them 4 days later, programmed in less than 45 seconds, and im off to the races! Excellent value, cannot be more impressed, so much so, that i am now looking for another one for my wife. Happy motoring.
