This is a cute little car and it drives ok. However, the gas mileage is not what Ford tells us it should be. After trying all the latest and greatest ideas, I could only get 23 mpg.....that's 10 mpg less than what this EcoBoost car is supposed to get. Also, after trying for two months to get the Sync My Ride operational on my car......Ford tells me that it is no longer available on my car. As a matter of fact, it is not available on any model 2015 and older. I was told I have to purchase through Sirius XM to get the location services. Seriously? And to make it sooooo much better, I cannot remove the Sync My Ride application that pops up every time I am in a traffic jam unless, I want to remove the hands free system as well. When I talked to Ford about this, they did not seem to really care. This does not bode well for Ford.

SEwith 1.6 Turbo. 4600 miles so far. Car is fast, fun and great on Gas. I get 25-26 with 50/50 Highway and City, straight up 33/34 on the interstate. Anything over 80 it drops to 29. Very versatile. SYNC is weird, but it works. Takes and makes calls, but won't work with my Nano or Shuffle. Looks good, runs good. Waiting for an SVT version to come out.

We wanted a reliable, safe car for our 17 year old and I know we have found it. The all wheel drive will keep her on the road and IF something happens to run her off the road she will be in one of the safest vehicles in its class. Amazingly it is comfortable even for my 6' 2" frame - Wow! And the panoramic sun roof almost makes you feel like you are in a convertible. My only humble issues with the Escape is that the Nav is not as intuitive as a Garmin Device and the Climate controls are a bit too complicated. But these are small matters compared to the overall Five Star nature of this great car!

Not happy with my 2013 Escape

What can I say but I'm very disappointed with my 2013 Escape SE and here I was excited to get in the new sleak style of the Escape. I own a 2005 Escape still to this day and loved driving it but this new Escape is very disappointing. So where should I begin? Let's start with the gas mileage. It's poor, poor, poor. Most of my driving is on the highway so I wanted my next Escape to have good gas mileage while also being four-wheel drive or AWD as it is. I did my research on the new Escapes and it says the its gas mileage for a 2013 Escape Se gets 21 city and 28 highway. I was excited to see this since my old Escape got 18 city and 24 highway. There's no way I get that. I probably get 19 city and I definitely get 23 or 24 highway. This is very disappointing. Those extra 4 - 5 miles per gallon would really make a difference. The other issue I have is with the placement of the car battery. The battery is in a position that is almost impossible for me to get out without taking an hour or two to disconnect all the wires, hoses, and cables necessary to just get the frickin battery out. Why would the engineers put the battery in a place where you can't easily get it out? Very stupid in my opinion. Shame on you Ford!!!

First thing i would like to say is I'm a Nissan car salesman. I have no bias with domestic vehicles. The escape rides beautifully. I drove a rental from Atlanta, Ga to Green Bay, Wi through a major storm. No problems at all. The seats are the problem. Nissan has the zero gravity seats which are 100% more comfortable than the Ford seat. The engine and transmission work together just fine. Great visibility
