Not the best choice I made

I have had nothing but problems with this car. I will never own another Ford! I had to get corporate involved to get my car from shop.

Love the styling of this SUV

This compact SUV is perfect as my daily driver. Both the styling and the fuel economy are great. Even though this is the base model, it has everything I need.

Great car for the money

This car is perfect for a college student, especially one that commutes. Great on gas, safe vehicle and provides maintenance reminders to help with our busy lives. This car is a perfect fit for my college-aged daughter. We currently own 2 Ford Escapes.

Great Car to Get Used

I've enjoyed the vehicle thus far. I've had it almost a week and haven't had any issues aside from those caused by the dealership. It has pretty much every feature one would need, from safety to entertainment to customizability. The only issue I have is that the Escape SE does not have a backup camera, but that's rectified in other models.

Great little car!

I recently bought a 2013 Escape SEL with 95,000 miles on it. It is such a great, fun, fast little car (its turbo charged). The only reason it doesn't get 5 Stars is because it does have quite a bit of road noise, but that can be overlooked for all of the other features of it!

An Incredible Car

I've loved every aspect of this car, from its durability and reliability to its comfort, fuel economy, power, and styling. It has far exceeded anything I had originally purchased it for and visited countless national parks on epic road trips, pulling trailers and boats, camping, off-roading, etc.

Most comfortable vehicle I've owned

Lots of room front and back. This car has plenty of power. I have back problems and my back does not hurt after driving it. It meets all of my needs.

A Practical and Fun Ride

I like this SUV for the cargo space and the leg room in the front. I appreciate being up a bit higher, as it's easier getting in and out, plus the visibility. Most of the controls are logically set out, within reach of the driver. I hope to have this vehicle for years to come.

Great Adventure Car

This car is great for everything from day to day commuting to traveling around the country. The turbo charged 2.0L is enough to have a little fun during the ride or make a safe pass. I would not have been as happy with the smaller engine sizes.

Extremely Glad to have this vehicle!!

Have been wanting an SUV and this was the answer to my needs. I really like the size of the vehicle, not to big but big enough for my needs.
