2012 Ford Escape XLT review

Owned my 1012 Escape LTD AWD for 14 years.

September 11, 2025
By BC from Denver, CO
Owns this car

Owned my 1012 Escape LTD AWD for 14 years. No major problems whatsoever. It has towed household items in the large UHaul trailer with ease. It has hauled home construction items in the back and on top. It has done long road trips. And, with all that, has averaged over 23 MPG! Faithful Long Term Vehicle...Many Miles to Go!

2012 Ford Escape XLT review

My 2012 escape has a salvaged title.

March 24, 2025
By Prechouus from Omaha, NE
Owns this car

My 2012 escape has a salvaged title. Was hit in the front. Only replacements I’ve made since purchase is the radiator and brakes/rotors. It gets me where I need to go. Good for the price I bought it. Currently has 169,000 miles on it. Can definitely drive for longer. I see many complaints about conditions of their car but that all depends on the previous owner.
