I purchased this car in March 2013. The gas mileage I have gotten is 15 mpg city and 19 mpg highway. This has been verified with the dealership. They can find nothing wrong with the car and Ford advises this is within the normal range. If you are looking for a car that is economical, this is not the car for you.

2013 Ford Escape SE- The turbos go out about every 2-3 years and that is a $3000 job! The craftsmanship of materials is poorly put together. The latch on the middle console broke right away. The plastic on the right side mirror fell off while driving. The rear window shield wiper arm broke and the car was only 3 years old when I bought it. Now apparently the tranny is bad.

This is a great car for smaller families. My daughter even loves to ride in the back with the reclining seats.

economy, Sync lacking

2013 Escape SE 2.0 EcoBoost I feel like I am a victim of false advertising. Fuel economy is definitely not up to the billing. I'm lucky to keep it over 21 average. I got rid of my '05 4-Runner to try to get better mileage, but it's barely cutting it. Also, as described in numerous places here, Sync is buggy. I have recurring problems with my ipod and the Sync index. It's unpredictable and dsometimes unreliable. And when something's not right she won't shut up. Bottom line, nice vehicle for the money as long as you are aware of the problems. Don't expect much for fuel economy, at least with the 2.0, unless you drive like a granny in a warm, dry climate on flat roads.
