It was a great deal with the milage that was on it

It was a good purchase for the money. I had to drive 130 miles one way to get this car but it was worth it. I was every thing that we wanted and it had a bran new set of tires on it. It had the all wheel drive which was great along wit the bluetooth was awesome. Never expected to find one like this with a price that others wanted with 35000 miles more on and only 2 wheel drive. And a great color as long as it wasn't red or white.

Love my Escape!!!!

This car is worth every penny. I have looked around and the price was in my price range. I would recommend this car to any one looking for a reliable SUV with style and comfort. I wanted leather but the fabric I have is better.

My 2nd Ford Escape

I love the 2012 Escape I just bought, just as I loved my last one, a 2003. With 152,000 miles on that one, it was time for me to move on to a newer car. I found a good one, with low mileage and only one previous owner. I know it will be a reliable car in Colorado winters and summers.

Reliability at an excellent price.

My 2012 Ford Escape is a great vehicle that shines in many key areas for life in Northern MI. During the winter months, my car has not gotten stuck once in a snow drift. The driving experience is great, smooth handling, an excellent sound system with SYNC, and easy to access cruise control via the steering wheel. There's a reason when you drive every day, that you see multiple of these automobiles cruising the roads of America.

Problems 24/7

I bought my car 1year old as a certified preowned vehicle. It was great for about 3 months till a recall was placed on the car. Ford didn?t notify me of the recall. I notified them. A few months later the car started jolting during acceleration. I took it in and they said nothing was wrong but we changed some engine parts. Jolting continued and still happen now 4 years later every time I take it in I?m told nothing is wrong but they changed a few parts. Over all an ok first car but would not recommend purchasing one with 50k+ miles

Stylish and Comfortable

Rides higher on the road. Better fuel economy than a full size suv. Safe and secure for the kiddos and still cool to be seen in.
