Love it!
I looked at 2015 Mini, Jeep, BMW, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Honda,and Chevy and decided that I liked my 2013 Escape SE with 37,000 miles the best. Got an email from the Dealer that advertised a dynamite price. After some bartering on trade-in, I picked up the 2015 Escape SE with the convenience package and lowered my monthly payment. No problems at all with the 2013, its just that the deal was too good to pass up. For me, the only vehicle that was better than my 2013 Escape w/ 1.6 liter turbo was the 2015 Escape. Comfort, power, quality and economy just can't be beat for my needs. The 2015 has a number of improvements over the 2013, but they add up to a better vehicle.
Burned by ford
Bought a 2015 escape in February in June started hearing a noise coming from the engine. The mechanics at dealership said it was fuel injector that ruined the piston.We had to have a new engine put in. We felt should buy it back because it was defective, Ford said no because it was a new engine being put in,this was not satisfactory to us.We had to buy another one. The dealership or Ford would not trade it out for another Escape so we had take a hit and pay another 3 thousand dollars plus pay the taxes again. We've have bought 12 cars from this dealership over the years and this is how we were treated and Ford didn't care either therefore we will not buy another Ford product!!!!!!!!

Leased a 2015 Escape SE 4WD 2.0 in August 2015 and have about 7100 miles. Got some extras that I didn't necessarily want but the dealership gave me a deal so I took it. Have the vista roof and wouldn't recommend it honestly; it barely tilts open and if you open it 100% instead of the standard opening, there is a terrible buffeting sound that travels throughout the inside of the car. I would not recommend the 2.0 because even though it moves quickly the MPG is quite poor and doesn't meet the EPA rating. Took a trip to upstate NY and barely got 29mpg. MyFord Touch works fine but does get slow for no reason sometimes or will drop the Bluetooth connection lately. The suspension now has what can best be described as a creaking/squeaking sound coming from the right rear. Only used to make the sound under 10mph now I've heard it up to 25mph. It shouldn't be creaking at 7000 miles. Some more observations: -Headlights work fine and I like that they automatically come on when the wipers are put to the low setting. Other observations: -Climate control system sometimes won't blow and stays very quiet until I shut it off and turn it on again -Power hatch has given me problems where it won't close or slams shut for some reason; it's been adjusted 2x & it still gives me problems -Engine turns over very quickly -Power reserve stays on even when the keys are out of the ignition as long as a door isn't opened -LED interior lights are nice and bright but are a pain to keep on by one door if another door is open. I feel it drives bigger than it really is and the mpg has been poor despite not driving hard. Glad it's a lease and I'm already anxiously waiting for it to end.
