I've only had my Escape for a few days. But I love it so far. It drives great!!! It gets great gas mileage. It's not to big and it's not to small. It does however have some noise and vibration from time to time on a rough roadway but nothing I can't handle. I'm hoping to get many years of use out of my escape and hopefully as few of repairs as possible!! UPDATE!!! I no longer have the Escape! If I had read the reviews before I got it, honestly I wouldn't have bought it. We didn't have it long before it got to where it wouldn't beep when you hit lock on the key fob then it would hesitate to start and eventually wouldn't start at all. Which turned out to be the battery. Which by the way, is a pain to change. When we would take it for a oil change, they told us it had a oil leak, which was strange because it never needed any oil between changes. The transmission began to give problems. Which makes me think it had transmission leak rather than oil leak. So, in August of this year, I traded it for a F150. A decision I don't regret! I missed the room that the Escape didn't have. My advice, stay away from the Escape.

Escape to a Ford

I have never owned a Ford, but wanted a smaller SUV. I sat in one at our local auto show, and liked what I saw and the comfort of the seats. The test drive was impressive; responsive car with quickness and great handling. If you buy one get the Ecoboost (turbo) and you will enjoy the ride. Nice dash and styling. Dealer was helpful. Happy shopping!

I bought my 2014 Ford Escape SE 4WD in August of 2014. I have loved it so far and have taken it on all of our vacations. It recently has developed an acceleration problem that only happens once a month or every other month. Dealership can't duplicate it and computer apparently erases itself every time you shut the engine down. This is the only frustrating thing I've had with this car. I also had a 2006 Ford Escape and had zero problems with it. 12/30/17 update: Dealer still can't duplicate acceleration problem. There have been multiple recalls on this vehicle which is really frustrating.

2014 Escape Titanium AWD with 2.0 engine

I leased my white tri-coat with black leather Escape Titanium on 6/29/13 and have now driven it a little over 2300 miles---enough to give you a meaningful review. Essentially, I love this vehicle for its eye-catching exterior design, good performance and handling, and comfortable, quiet interior. With the 2.0 liter turbo engine and regular gas I average about 21.5mpg in a daily mix of city and interstate driving, and I got 28mpg on a 254-mile interstate trip yesterday while averaging about 4-5mph over the speed limit.
