This was my first ford vehicle and probably will not be my last. I got the 2012 model because of the big changes for the 2013 crossover model. The escape provides a nice ride and great handling. I feel very safe driving in poor weather conditions. The interior design is great and provides great visibility. But, I recommend the V6 model for the best driving experience.

Leased the 4-cyl Escape and took a 1500 mile trip.
The four cylinder is adequate.
Passing power on the highway was pretty good. The only problem would be long steep grades.
The 6 speed auto shifted smoothly.
It didn't hesitate
to downshift when needed.
The engine only turns over 1700 RPM at 60 MPH.
The first leg of the trip was mostly interstate with about 100 miles of Ozark hills and twisties at the end.
I have
an easy
foot and averaged 30MPG going and 28MPG returning against a 20mph head wind, lightly loaded.
This is a great around town vehicle.
I wouldn't want to take on the Rockies, though.

I have had my 2012 Escape Limited with the V6 engine for 10 months and 10,000 miles.
There has been no reason to bring it back to the dealer since purchase.
I am getting 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
I love the looks and features of this well proportioned SUV.
With full time 4 wheel drive it handles great in rain and snow.
Never any slipping or sliding.
For the money I think you get a lot of vehicle.

First off, this is my first new car in 30 years, and have been a Saturn owner for the last 10...
I needed something to transport my keyboard gear to the shows.
Now, there is plenty of room for all the equipment now.
Owned for only 6 weeks and the OD just turned 1800 miles and it has been 100%
problem free thus far!

This car is terrible in a 4cyl. It has no pick up and go from a stopping position. A honda civic can accelerate faster then this SUV. Not to mention this car hold no value. I went to trade it in and I bought this car brand new, it has 9000 something miles, great shape its a 2012 and the dealership offered me 13500. even though i just bought it 9 months ago for 23500. Waste of time and money now I'm stuck with a horrible vehicle.

Bought a new 2012 ford escape limited and I love it I down sized from a Lincoln navigator Because of Gas mileage and cost of up keep. I have had my escape for two weeks and have put almost 300 miles on it so far and I love it. It is a perfect fit for me I love the feel the way it handles the ride and the interior/exterior design. It is a great car for the money Great job Ford I'm already planning my second car and it will be a Ford.

This is my Wife's SUV and she love's everything about it we have put 6000 miles on it since buying new in February. This car is Awesome in the snow
and on Ice considering its hard to stop anything on Ice. We tried everything we could to get it to spin out in a snow storm, I know your thinking Idiot,
but I wanted to push it limits I Have Road raced cars for 8 years and I couldn't
get it to spin out the Advance trac, ABS, and stability would allow me to over accelerate it actually directed me back on the road. I hard to describe in detail but it outperforms my buddy's Subaru in AWD performance, and fuel economy. This a great little SUV and it make me proud to see a American

I will not purchase another one and cannot wait to get out of this one.
We purchased the V6 Hybrid in January and in February the bumper clips were broken, the cold air proved to be rough on transmission, various plastic pieces are broken and when putting back seat windows down, the vibration is unbearable.
This is the second Ford Vehicle I have owned that I believe to be a lemon. I have owned many Ford vehicles and may consider others in the future but it certainly will not be an Escape.

I got this car back in March and two weeks later it broke down in the middle of the freeway, left me stranded.
They said it was the sensor and had to replace it. First time that Ford lets me down since I have been buying Ford cars since 1997.
Also the car vibrates, shakes, and rattles like if it was an older car. Not sure what is up with that, but the dealer said that a lot of people were complaining about it too.
