Was shopping for a new 2017 sedan at several local dealerships. I test drove several brands ending up a my local Ford dealer. Test drove a Fusion, but like other sedans driven. They looked great, but were tight with rear seating and poor entry and exit due to the roof lines. The Ford salesman ask if I had driven an Escape. So my first test drive of a black Escape Titanium Awd sold me. Easy to enter and exit. Roomy for it's size hauling 4 or 5 adults, drives and rides equal to or better than the sedans I test drove. Attractive inside and out. Lots of technology features like navigation/adaptive cruise. Comfortable heated leather front seats, comfortable reclining and foldable rear seats. peppy 2.0 Ecoboost and so on. After 16 months and 17,000 miles. No issues. If your vehicle shopping. I recommend a look and test drive. I was always a Chrysler fan, but that changes quickly after purchasing a then new 2015 200S V6. I'm a pretty patient man, but that car changed my outlook. I really love my Escape.

My Ford Escape Titanium is a superb SUV with excellent drivability and unbelievable safety features. The 1.5 L 4 cycle engine with turbo gives amazing power. I am a technology junkie. This SUV pushes all those buttons and more. When I first purchased the vehicle, I had to sit in the car with the manual to review the myriad of features. I'm still discovering new operations listed in the manual. I love my 2017 Escape! Warning: This is not the vehicle for a tall and portly person. You will find the interior cabinet tight.

2nd Escape with a Cadillac in between

Our new 2017 Escape Titanium is our second Escape. Our first Escape was one of the very first 2013 models. It replaced the old boxy brick on wheels Escape that nobody ever paid attention to. With this new model, people stopped us on the street and asked us what kind of car it was and told us how cool our car looked. We loved that car. Even though it was a total redesign, we had no problems with it like many newly redesigned cars have. The car was a company car, so we really did not worry about repair costs, as the company would pay for that. This spring, my wife's boss said she would get us a new car, but wanted to wait until the fall clearance sales. Meanwhile, her brother was looking for a good, dependable used car for his daughter. So she sold our Escape to him. That left a 6 month gap without a car, so my wife's boss let her use one of her three cars, a 2015 Cadillac SRX. What a piece of crap. Both of us hated to drive that car and we could not get rid of it fast enough. It was cumbersome to drive, the seats were as hard as a rock, and the instrument panel was a mess, with tiny buttons all over the place, many of them we still do not know what they are for. We finally got our new car last week. We liked our old Escape so much that we got another one; this time a 2017 Titanium. It is better than we could have hoped for. It is better than the Caddy in every way. It has a better ride, handles much better, has better acceleration, and the dash layout is by far more ergonomic and intuitive. It is even more luxurious than the Cadillac, with beautiful black leather seats that are extremely comfortable. And even though it feels much smaller and lighter than the SRX, it actually has more cargo space. We are very happy with our new car..

My 2017 Ford Escape 2.0L FWD Titanium is a top of the line SUV bought new (was Costco holdover?) at a substantial discount to MRSP. I had traded in my 2006 Escape Hybrid (103,000 miles, running beautifully) for ICE after shopping Toyota and Nissan equivalents, but decided on Escape after test drive. This Escape Titanium is awesome! The electronics are beautiful, thanks to great Ford engineering. It drives like a dream on 19” wheels, stylish leather seats, zippy 2.0L ecoboost turbo, great visibility, has Vista roof, assisted cruise control, collision warning, blind spot warning lights, auto stop/start (with hybrid it was natural for me), smart sensing headlights and wipers, Navigation, Sync3 hands free voice control, backup camera with obstruction and cross traffic warnings, dual climate control, lane alert, keyless entry, remote start, and more. I tried the AID function on lane alert but turned it OFF when had to quickly counter steer to avoid being taken to unwanted lane, potentially dangerous. So this was a negative, but everything else is near perfect. Ford has built a really progressive vehicle, and if same features are built into their other cars, they have a winner, taking sales away from the competition. I’ve only had the car two weeks, 400 miles, and okay with 20-21mpg in city, better highway (dash shows mpg while driving), and the 8” dash screen is easy to read with touch control. The 10 speaker sound system is awesome. I’m thinking I like this vehicle more than expected! :-) Nice job Ford. As a follow up three months later, I must say this awesome SUV continues to amaze me. Besides all the nifty electronics, it is a joy to drive. To make it perfect I would have opted for AWD, but might have sacrificed some on mpg. Still, it was not perfect, as there was a rain leak over the passenger front pillar that drained down into the rear cargo over the fuse box, obviously a factory flaw. They fixed it, but had not rained since, so we’ll see. I live in southern California, so may have to wait to see. Overall, very pleased with this great machine.

Between me and my husband we have owned ten Ford Escapes. I now have a 2017 Titanium 2.0 4WD. Many problems with engine. Finally engine was replaced. Six days later car broke down and was towed back to dealership. Two days after getting back from being repaired again I had towed back to dealership. Bad oil leak. It is being repaired now for bad oil pump and seals. This has been going on for two months. Ford is refusing to buy back. DISAPPOINTED! THIS WILL BE MY LAST FORD!
