So far, so good

This is the first Escape I've owned, but I know plenty of people who've owned and loved them over the years. It's a very comfortable vehicle, the visibility is good, the interior design is efficient, and I'm pleased with the gas mileage - my last vehicle was a Mustang. I could use a little more pep in the engine - my last vehicle was a Mustang. Overall I'm happy with it.

Very dependable vehicle.

Numerous "bells and whistles" that make driving it a pleasure. Superb leg room and head space along with extremely comfortable seating. Interior design fantastic. All wheel drive affords safe driving and handling throughout the year. I should have bought one sooner.

LOVE IT

IT NEEDS A FEW MINOR REPAIRS. I BOUGHT THE 4 YEAR DIAMOND WARRANTY AND THE DEALER IS GOING TO WAVE THE 100 DOLLAR FEE FOR MY FIRST THING THAT NEEDS FIXED AND IT'S ONLY THE ELECTRONIC REMOTE SUNROOF. WE DIDNT CHECK IT BEFORE BUYING. MY FAULT. I CHECKED EVERYTHING ELSE.VERY NICE PEOPLE AND AWESOME DEALERSHIP. I HIGHLY LOVE MY FORD ESCAPE, ESPECIALLY THE TOUCHSCREEN AND GPS, SMOOTH RIDE AND ROOMY. IM A FOREVER CONVERTIBLE NEW CAR OWNER, MY FIRST USED CAR BUT I AM HAPPY SO FAR.WILL KEEP YOUR POSTED.

Replaced my 1996 Jeep after 20 years.

So far I love it. Car was super clean low mileage. Like the older style Escape compared to 2013. Bluetooth is takes some getting used to. Plenty of room

Great Car that could use more power

This car was great. Did everything it was asked. Lacks power with a V4 engine but great on gas. I prefer the 2011 body style to the redesign in 2012. Very happy with the durability and comfortability of this vehicle.

Best Vehicle ever

First owned a 2005 Ford Escape, after 296000 KM of reliable, low maintenance driving I moved up to a 2011 model and wouldn't drive anything else. Other makes and models don't even come close overall.

Most excitement, I have had in owning a vehicle!

I love the rear leg room in it! Since the re design in 2013 that was remived. I love the design on it! People still like that!

Great 1st car for a college grad!

My 2012 Ford Escape hit all the check marks I wanted. Drives great, feels great, and was overall a great first car to purchase out of college!
