Great BUT horrible when it break!

This car got me from point A to B BUT after a year I started having electrical issues. Then my power steering started freezing up. I wasn’t the only person who had issues with the power steering because I coworker almost crashed leaving the school and hit kids because she was unable to turn the wheel of her car! I tried to get it taken care of but Ford didn’t think it was of their fault! Again it was good while it lasted but HORRIBLE when something went wrong.

Overall a decent vehicle

Lots to like about the Escape: Decent gas mileage, performance and looks. Very reliable. Downsides: terrible traction in the snow, poor performance. I would recommend this vehicle if you're looking basic transportation.

Run's like a top. Beautiful car.

I bought this car from someone with 35k miles on it. Keep in mind it is a 2011. I have had no problems at all. I love the car. It looks great and surly runs so well.

I love this car/SUV

We leased this 2011 Escape brand new and bought it at the end of the lease. It is older body style with the fold flat seats. I loved it for its versatility. The back seats folded flat which was great for taking my dogs with me everywhere we went. It was also great for hauling stuff. This may have been my favorite car of all time. I sold it with 110,000 miles.

Nice vehicle

I'm used to a small compact and this is fine but uses more gas. The trade-off in room and comfort is fine. I would recommend it to a friend.

This is a Gem!

This vehicle is everything you want from a used car. It was driven by a Soccer Mom less than 17k miles per yr and very well maintained. All OEM parts. 4 new Michelin tires and everything works. The Microsoft media center is grand with a USB port and sound jack. It is loaded with heated seats and all the bells and whistles. this car operates as a new car.

Great car for travel

This car met all our needs and will take you where you need to go! We'd keep it but we just don't need it anymore and don't want to see it just sitting unused.

This is the best car I have ever owned

It is perfect design. Plenty of room to carry passengers. Plenty of head room. The car goes great thru snow and has great MPG. The ride is great and the car fits in most parking spaces
