Ford Escape 3.0 ~~Great Vehicle

I've had the 2012 Escape XLT FWD 3.0 engine since Early April. We just drove it from NYC to Knoxville, TN & back again. It was a pleasure to drive. Got gas mileage around 22 miles a gal but I had a load in the vehicle and had a Thule Roof carrier which no doubt affected the mileage. I was amazed to see so many Escapes on the Road. A winner !!

I had a 05 escape so i am used to how the handle and drive. I got the car for about 21,900 for the sxt with no other features like the sun package etc.. The 4 cyl accelerates well and the handling is nice. I do agree that the brakes need to catch up with the times and go to all wheel disc brakes. If you are looking for a american car without want to spend 30k this is a nice one to try. I am tall and i fit well. The sticker did not say anything about wheel tilt but it is on all of them. No telescoping adjust but who uses that move your seat up then!

Really nothing I don't like about my 2012 Escape. I may even consider another one when I'm ready to buy a new vehicle. I'll just need to check out my options, because I would like to have the backup camera and I don't know if the new ones are equipped. It's the perfect size for me to run around town in or a short get away.

The MPG is OK could be better, but what do you expect for a SUV and 4wd! The 4wd is GREAT we just love it, in the bad winters that PA gets, it goes straight up our steep mountains and hills snow covered sometimes 4 to 5 inches deep, with tire tread be mediocre, not the best! It lets you know when the turn signal or back light is out, the turn signal blinks really fast, when you need a new bulb! They grey color is very sparkly when clean, has a lot of glitter in it!!!! I like this style better than the newer ones!
