I shopped Cherokee, Terrrain and Escape. Out of the 3, this was the SUV for me hands down. It meets all my needs and functions well as transportation and utility vehicle. Cargo room is plenty for my needs especially when the rear seats are folded. The instrumentation and technology is easy to use and clear to read. Learning Sync-ese was a breeze. I like having control of everything at my fingertips. The heated front leather seats were a warm welcome in the winter. The hands free lift gate using only a swipe of my foot has been a real pleasure. This SUV is deceiving with the 2.0 Ecoboost. No one expects to see an SUV move like it's on fire. This little girl books when the turbo kicks in. My combined gas mileage is around 25mpg. Not the greatest, but not the worst. I love the amount of clear view I have with all the glass. As others have said, my only tiny gripe is the lack of storage bins. I expected there to be more in an SUV like I have had in others, but it certainly wasn't a deal breaker. I've had this SUV 8 months and have no complaints. Zero problems to date. I would definitely buy another.

Update as of October 2017: We now have 24000 miles on the Escape and it remains problem free. Gas mileage has improved somewhat. It gets 22 to 23 in town and now gets 30 to 31 on the highway. We're very satisfied with the Escape. Up Date 11/2020. 42,000 miles. This Escape is the most enjoyable vehicle that I have ever owned. It has been trouble free to date with nothing needed other than regular maintenance. It is comfortable and well made. The interior leather is like new. The seats are comfortable for both the driver and passenger. Plenty of power and good mileage. The new 2020 Escape leaves me cold. It looks cheap compared to this generation of the Escape. Three cylinder engine yuck! Auto stop start Yuck! The current 2020 Titanium has less content than my 2015. No CD player, No 10 way power passenger seat with lumbar support. No map pocket on the back of the drivers seat. MSRP approaching $40K when equipped with the 2.0 Ecoboost engine Trading my 2015 for a 2020 would be a step down in my opinion. I love my 2015 Escape and will be driving it for a long long time. Update as of late October 2019. I now have 39000 trouble free miles on this Escape. The leather interior is still like new. It is rattle and squeak free. The more miles that I've put on this vehicle the better it seems to run and perform. On a recent trip to Florida I finally got the 32 mpg that the sticker showed. I love driving this vehicle. It's a blast to drive and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it regardless of the length of the trip. UPDATE 12/2021 @ 46,000 miles I still love this Escape Titanium. It has been trouble free requiring only normal maintenance. Put tires on it at 43,700 miles. That was the only major expense to date. Had the Ford dealer who does my oli changes and rotations cross rotated the tires they would have lasted to 50K. They switched the tires front to back - front to back. The left side tires were still 6/32 tread depth while the right side tires were at 3/32. Right now there is nothing on the market from any manufacturer that would make me part with my 2015 Escape Titanium Up Date 06/2023 I still love my 2015 Escape. The vehicle has 53000 miles on it now and have had it for 8 years. It has produced the first problem since I have owned it. The back up camera works intermittently. It works 98 % of the time. Took it to the Ford dealer and they trouble shot the problem and said that the camera was bad. I find this strange because it works almost all of the time. It is also strange that this problem arose after the dealership performed the recall repair concerning a bushing needed in the transmission selector cable. I mentioned this to the dealership and they did not follow up on this possible cause of the problem. Also maddening is that the camera has been on back order months. I am tempted to say the hack with it as the camera lists for more the $400. The camera is the only problem that I've had with the vehicle in 8 years.

Drove a Camry for 12 years and 165,000 miles. Did nothing but change oil and tires. Giving it to my son for college graduation. Bought a loaded, 2015 Escape Titanium 2.0 4 wheel drive 2 months and 3,000 miles ago. Hoping have the same luck with this vehicle. Test drove Santa Fe, Rav 4, Terrain. Escape no question hotter look, hotter interior, and better drive. Way more pep than the others. I wanted a small SUV with decent gas milage. Miss the 30-32 I was getting with Camry but knew my milage would go down. Getting 25.1 average so far. Like the fact it is all wheel drive moving to 4 wheel drive when I need it. Looking very forward to see how it does this winter. Love the interior. Hands free Navigation, phone, stereo, climate. I have had no issues with voice commands. It let's you know what you can say, very easy to get comfortable with. Love never needing to take the keys out of my pocket. Love the key pad on door. I got the full length sun roof - LOVE IT. Never had one before. Heated seats, memory seats - LOVE IT. Also love using the foot to open back gate, that has come in handy many times. I know it is early but every time I get into it I look forward to driving it. So far so good! Now at 1 year and 15,000 miles. Still love it. Couple small rattles from time to time in the interior and at times the tight sport ride can be no fun with all the poor roads in Wisconsin but SUV still very much fun to drive. I really like the ford services you can voice activate, have used it a few times to help me find things. It suddenly went away on 1 year anniversary but it is only $60 a year which is a lot less than on-star. Love using the phone app to send address destinations to my car. That is very slick. Loved the drive last winter, no issues what so ever in the snow. Hate winter but looking forward to another year of no worries driving.

2015 Ford Escape SE 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

First let me say, I love my 2015 Ford Escape except for one tiny issue - I purchased the vehicle in Dec 2014 in less than two weeks the brakes began to scream when the vehicle is first started in the morning when backing out of garage. I have returned to dealer three times but the squeal continues. This is not a brake squeak it is a long shrill squeal to the point my neighbors tell me they hear me leaving every morning. Currently have less than 3300 miles and the dealer is pretty much telling me to like it or lump it they are not doing anything else. Needless to say I am not a very happy Ford owner right now. Furthermore, an internet search reveals mine is not the first Escape to do this.
Wind noise

Purchased an Escape SE a few weeks ago and have had problem with wind noise. The dealer states the problem is with outside mirror and A Pillar which is a Ford design flaw and is not correctable.
