Right size for me

I love my little SUV! It's the perfect size for me. When I do have others with me, there is plenty of room for legs and all!! Perfect room for groceries or luggage!! So fun to drive!! Love how the seats lay down, so much room you can sleep back there!!

Pretty pleased

I live the mileage I get with my Escape. I was not aware how've low I sat inside until after I purchased it. My previous car was an Explorer and I sat up higher, which I love. I don't need great pickup so th 4- cylinder was fine, but my next car will have the 6-cylinder or at least the Ecoboost. I don't it a lot of miles on my cars so I'm pretty easy to please. I would have liked to have more options but this was my first car to buy new and I could not afford anymore. I will probably never buy another brand new car.

Ford Products

This is the first Ford product that I have owned. It is also the first SUV I have owned. In 150,000 miles , this vehicle has been dependable. I like the AWD function and the ability to turn off the traction control and have 4 wheel functionality in deep snow. I have had issues with rust that happens to be normal on this year Escape. I can see that this was do to improper metal prep. I wonder if this type of problem figured into Ford going to Aluminum bodies.

Love my little SUV

Not too small, not to big. The size is just right for me, and transporting a few others when needed. Maneuvers easily. Has get up and go when needed Fun and easy to drive. Only downside is the road noise.

Good Car, . . .BUTT. . .

We purchased this car new in Oct. 2012, & have generally been more than satisfied with the cars performance except for one factor, (RUST !!!) Before the factory warranty had expired, small paint blisters & surface rust had appeared on the edge of both rear wheel wells. Since that time, the condition of those wheel wells has deteriorated to the point that the whole upper edge of these wheel wells wil now crumble, & fall off in your hand if touched. To date, neither the dealership, nor the company has offered or provided any assistance in correcting this major design problem. (NOT MUCH OF AN ENDORSEMENT FOR THEIR WILLINGNESS TO ASSIST CUSTOMERS IN RESOLVING A BIG PROBLEM OF THE COMPANY’S OWN MAKING, IS IT?) This particular model of the Ford Escape, or one very similar to it, had been in production at Ford for a nimber of years, and one might think th company could have engineered this rust problem OUT of the car by 2012. One would be mistaken in such an assumption. Ford Motot Co. does not erven seem to care about the fact that their refusal to help their customers to resolve this matter is going to cost them a lot of return customers.

Disappointed

First of all know that I take good care of my Vehicles. Started RUSTING before 5yrs old. Went to Dealer, they laughed & said time to trade. That’s Bull. Was always a Ford an but no more! Most people don’t even have a vehicle paid for in 5 yrs. Rust doesn’t effect it’s reliability but it does its resale value. Shame on Ford & the Ford Dealers Remarks. Get me once Shame on You, Get meTwice Shame on Me! Guess What !! TWICE isn’t going to Happen. Maybe it’s all that Foreign Steel !

More Good Than Bad

I'm at 150k miles and have only needed things that were expected to ware in due time. I've always been surprised how will it does on rocky trails. Other than ground clearance, it gets me to out close to I need to go in the forest or desert.

2012 Ford escape

This is the 2nd escape I've owned. I love it. Now let me say this. I dont care for the 6 speed transmission, and the escape has a design flaw in the hatch release. Ford totally blew it with the 2013 redesign! Bad move!

Gets me from A to B

I bought a Ford Escape 4 years ago. It's been okay. Replaced the tranny at 70,000 miles. It's a noisy car.

Learning to love it and trust it.

To be honest, I bought this car because it was a good deal, but I really don't like silver paint or slippery leather seats. But now after a couple of years it has grown on me. I'm thinking of changing the seats to something firmer with cloth. As for the silver, I hardly notice it all, except when I see another silver Escape go by me, and realize what a nice looking car it is. I think the silver hides the dirt pretty good, Is that why it is so popular? I drive it everyday 100 miles round trip. I drive absolutely as fast as possible, and have come to count on this little Escape that is wracking up the miles. It doesn't matter how fast I drive, because I average around 25 MPG a tank. Round trip from Plymouth to Boston and back home again is always pretty close to 5 gallons. The only real wear I've found is that the drivers seat is breaking down. But I've had every Ford I ever owned had weak seats. I'm just surprised this one started going bad earlier than most, around 70,000 miles.
