2016 Ford Escape consumer reviews

Was looking for a used one, But found a steal of a deal on this new(26 miles) one. Starting price was Ouch!! But dealer knocked off $3K and Ford knocked off another $6K with incentives. With my down payment I was able to get the price just over a 2 year old used on that had almost 30K miles. And this one has the larger 2.0L with a tow pack, Roof rack w/cross bars, New less buggie sync 3. And 18" alloys.... Could not beat this deal!! Overall its comfy(minus: Console takes away some driver leg room) and rides like a car. Looks awesome and has sync 3. Loaded with the options I was looking for. Pro's: Easy to maneuver. Ride and handling. Spacious interior. Good fuel mileage, Yet Good performance thanks to the ecoboost. Con's: Some fit and finish details. Inner door handle is whimpy. Body lines aren't perfect. Rear door doesn't match body in places. Rear vision is reduced(but has the back up cam to compensate). Solid B+ overall. Considering the price I have to give it an A!!

Few things I'm not pleased with. 1. Windshield wipers are complicated, poorly located and I'm constantly hitting the handle accidentally and distracts me while driving as it goes and goes till I figure out which of the myriad little controls will stop it. 2. Trying to use my foot beneath the hatchback puts me off balance and finding the correct spot is not easy so I just revert to using the key. 3. Also the driver side wiper is already streaking and messing up my vision after I've only owned the car for 3.5 months. 4. Still waiting to hit the point where I'll get good mileage. 5. Setting to open and close my garage door linked to the car works and doesn't work intermittently. 6. Extreme slant of the windshield makes it difficult to reach to clean inside. Otherwise, love the power and the look. Love the extra charge stations. Love the updated cargo cover. Learning to use the GPS but so far, pretty good.

Just purchased a leftover 2016 Escape Titanium and absolutely love it. I cannot believe the performance from this 2.0 ecoboost. I highly recommend you get one with this engine. The fit and finish is top notch and the materials are soft and above average for this class. The 2017 looks nice but if u can find a 2016 ,ford is having amazing incentives. My sticker was over 37000 and I got it for 29700 after incentives and dickering. The ride is awesome with the 19 inch upgraded wheels and braking is very good as well. Great job Ford .

I love this car...I leased the 2016 Ford Escape Titanium, fully loaded...and I paid extra for that Cranberry Red color and it's gorgeous! It handles easily, and I have 19" wheels...literally forces you to adjust how you drive on city streets with huge potholes...I love being high up...I love all the safety features and technology...fuel is lower than my Altima but that's to be expected with any SUV....and it gets better gas mileage with more usage. Can't say enough about this vehicle...it's my perfect fit.

Had I have known then what I know now I would have never purchased my 2016 Ford Escape it is not worth the money and if I could trade it in I would

Transitioning from a Subaru Crosstrek. Ride Quality, Noise level, comfort and handling are noticeably superior in the '16 Escape vs the Crosstrek. All features are easy to use with great access to everything need from the drivers seat. The Escape shows excellent workmanship and is a very solid vehicle.

AC went out. When I called Ford they seemed to know about this issue with this car, but said there was nothing they could do. Also transmission slipping.

I transitioned from Chevy to Ford with this Escape and I couldn't be more pleased. It is truly a wonderful SUV, just the right size for me. Being that it is the Titanium it is very stylish and classy in black with black interior.

When I retired I traded in my soccer mom van for My Escape! Fabulous move. The space in the back is huge! I and the dog can sleep in the back on long trips. The 2.5 engine with the kick-but tranny is fabulous. It can tow up to 1,500 pounds stock, which works for my camper and my motorcycle trailer. The steering and response is really great. It is built very quiet inside! The fit for me is perfect!! I am 6ft2in and large, but My Escape has lots of headroom and easy in/out. The sound system is fabulous! Load my mp3 collection on a USB drive, plug it in and wow myself for the next 1000 miles. Gas mileage is above expected - almost 32 on the road. When on a steep dirt road I select-shift it down to a good rpm and My Escape just pulls right on through. I love My Escape!

The size is perfect for me. I like the gas mileage. It is more comfortable than a car and reminds me of a van but smaller.
