2017 Ford Escape S 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
53 of 60 people found this review helpful
I had all the alarms on the screen and it just died on me for the 2nd time in as many days the it would not start for me at all so I had it towed to the dealership. They have had it for 4 days now and still can't give me an answer. The car has only 5k miles on it. I didn't qualify for a loaner because I didn't get an extended warranty , didn't think I needed it on an brand new car. I will never buy or lease a Ford product in the future.

I have a 2017 Escape SE with all standard equipment PLUS the 2 liter Ecoboost ( not the 1.5) Just turned 120,000 miles and the only thing I have done is get new tires at 75000 No brakes, no tune up, nothing. Good gas mileage too! Great car!

I bought a leftover 2017 Titanium 2.0L turbo in Jan 2018. Have had it just over a year and 14,800 miles. Auto stop/start is annoying and I always turn it off. Most of my driving is on LA/OC freeways in traffic and I usually average right around 25-26 in normal combined driving. I drove up to NorCal twice and both times averaged over 30 mpg. Mine has towing package and I carry my 300 lb Honda dual sport on it with a hitch carrier about once per month, sometimes up to 200 miles to desert areas. Even at 80+ mph I don't notice it on the back. I'm 5'10" and can lay flat with the rear seats down so I camp in it when dirt biking. The key to decent MPG is keeping it out of the boost, keep it under 3000 RPM's when accelerating. I came from a Mustang GT and don't expect the same power. I did have a couple of rattles in the glovebox area and top piece of trim above the cd player but fixed with felt sticky tape. Mine is super quiet inside and only hear the engine under hard acceleration, no wind noise at all on fwy. My only real complaint is I wish it had AWD since torque steer is pretty bad when you floor it. My battery did go dead at around 7 months, but was able to start with a portable mini jump starter box. Dealership replaced battery and no issues since. GPS works fine, could care less about Android Auto or Car Play, I turn off the parking aids and could care less about the other nanny tech. I have used the auto park a couple of times just for kicks and it works. The paddle shifters are a joke on a car like this, but have used them a couple of times in the mountains to downshift going up a hill. Overall I like this car and it is way more quiet, comfortable and convenient than what I traded in.

Could be my next vehicle

2017 Ford Escape Titanium 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I rented this car 2 weeks a month for 4 years in Anchorage, Alaska where I worked (I am retired in warm, beachy Corpus Christi, Texas). I also rented others from Toyotas to Jeeps to GMCs. No comparison to me, for handling (like a small car), acceleration with the 2.0 turbo, but mainly the ease of entry and exit. The seats are exactly the right height. I had a team of 15 engineers and all agreed - easiest for entry and exit. That is why it COULD be my next car, as my Mustang is getting harder and harder to get out of (unless the top is down) like many my age. What the Escape really needs is at least the option for Automatic Emergency Braking! That may force me to go for the otherwise boring Subaru Forester. I read that Ford is putting this on the Mustang next year! Most Mustang drivers are not seniors who NEED AEB, not just collision warning or pre-loaded brakes. They did add lane departure warning, but braking would complete the package. I have all the driver aids that were available for my 2017 Mustang, even though this about doubled the price and got me to trade my 2014 with nothing wrong with it. So my two biggest concerns are entry and braking. Ford has one covered. We will see. I thing Consumer Reports has shown that will be the next mandatory thing anyway. Otherwise, best in its class, including the boring (ugly) looking, claustrophobic feeling Mazda CX-5.

NOTE...The Escape is actually a 2.0 Ecoboost....for some reason this would not accept that so it appears as a 1.5 l This is a very good little SUV. It is very comfortable on long trips and can easily hit 29 MPG on a long trip. I really like most everything about my Escape. Two things about it that would never make me buy another....1. Depreciation. The value of this thing has fallen like a stone, and....2. Torque steer. Do not get the 2.0 engine without getting AWD. The thing can get absolutely scarey at times. Lots of power... This vehicle has been 100% trouble free. I still hate the tongue steer issue and the depreciation but it is a great vehicle with every technological toy you might ever want, and they all work perfectly.
