Driver's seat Causes Injury
I had this car for about 2 years before replacing it, and I was happy to see it go. It's a cute car with decent horsepower, but other than that, I mostly have bad things to report. There are several negative things I could say about this car, but the reason I'm writing the review is to warn others that the driver's seat can cause certain people severely painful spinal/tailbone damage. I know two other Escape owners this has happened to, so it's not just me! There's some sort of a metal piece deep in the seat that you can't really feel noticeably, but it irritates your tailbone while driving. One of the first days I did a significant amount of driving in it, I was in such pain I almost had to go to the doctor. I could barely walk! And this is NOT a normal, "I'm a little sore because I drove a lot" pain. This is serious, scary pain. The only way I was able to continue driving this car was with a thick pillow placed on the seat. I once spent 13 hours sitting on a rusted metal bench on a 3rd class train in Thailand, and I didn't have the pain the seat in the 2013 Escape caused me. A car shouldn't cause its driver bodily harm. On top of that, this car is also a pain in the butt to use in a variety of other ways. The dashboard is NOT intuitive and it was a massive difficulty trying to figure out something as simple as playing my mp3 player. Zillions of confusing menus, no help from the manual...AND as if that wasn't enough, this car repeatedly had coolant leaks the entire time I had it. I'd fix a coolant leak (not cheap) and a few weeks to a few months later, the "low coolant" light would ding on again. Drove me MAD! I'm so happy to have sold this hunk of metal and replaced it with a Honda. Don't buy this car unless you're a masochist who enjoys suffering.

Speedy lil SUV
Very reliable, 2.0 ecoboost will fly. It’s too fast at times and tires slip. FWD not AWD. Holds up well. Good little SUV. Comfortable seats.
