Don't Buy if you want piece of mind long term

So many issues with recalls on major components (4x4 system) that do not have updates, replace for the same part and wait 60,000km before it fails again. now i am left with a car that is out of warranty and afield drivetrain, dealer only repair due to programming and $3800 for them to do. Service was terrible from local dealer.

Very reliable small suv

I liked the escape this had the titanium option in it. I bought it used from a Ford dealer had one owner and it was Ford certified it came with a lot of options like sunroof trailer hitch it has a Sony sound system that it great also has blind spot & HID headlights it has the optional 2.0 HO engine great pickup my only downfall is that the I think the gas tank is a little small only 15 gallons it seams like I am filling it up a lot. I recently just put tires & brakes on it not bad for almost 60.000 miles & replaced the battery last year so outside of normal mantaince it’s a pretty reliable small suv.

Great suv

I have plenty of leg room. The best feature is the remote starter. I like the electrict seat and the sync 3 system and the back up camera

The most reliable car I've owned

When I went looking for a new vehicle in 2016, I frankly didn't know what to purchase. This is probably a bigger car than I might have purchased, but it has served me very well for 4 1/2 years.

We rented one and fell in love with it.

The car is what we wanted and we love how it performs and the handling as you drive. Great for our needs as well too.
