Pros: For a 24k crossover suv honestly? 245 HP out of a 2L 4Cyl turbo, acceleration is fantastic. Heated seats, SYNC is excellent with android or iphone/ipad/ipod , AC outlet (really?) 2 USB ports. Cons: hold on tight for the torque steer. All that power comes at a price without sophisticated anti-torque steer technology. Not a big deal, as long as you remember to hold on tight when taking off fast, so you don't end up in the next lane. It's not an AWD porsche. I opted out of the navigation. SYNC plus a phone does the same job. Overall: It's impossible to beat an upper tier ford escape for the amount of money you spend. This is the third new Ford I've owned and I really have no desire to look elsewhere. I've owned a Mustang GT, a 4 dr focus SES, and this Escape with 2.0L ecoboost L4 turbo. I had a 2017 Chevy Impala V6 for a rental car and was surprisingly underwhelmed by the acceleration, MPG and handling compared to my escape. I couldn't wait to get it back... I do a lot of hard city driving and still average 23MPG, get 31MPG on the highway. There's a reason you're seeing a lot of EcoBoost Escape police interceptors... it's a crossover pocket rocket for the budget conscious driver.

The Ford Escape was 4th on my list but moved to the top of my list after researching the escapes ratings, available ford rebates/ incentives and test driving it. Best advice is to do all your research before purchasing your car and make sure you shop around at multiple dealership. Went to 3 dealers with the exact same car with options I wanted. Cost me a couple of extra hours but was able to negotiate $2,300 lower than the first dealership with 0% interest.

I posted a review in November 2018. I own a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium 2.0 4WD. I bought it new in November 2017. Since my last post I am still having major problems with the car. After having lots of issues and a new engine installed I am still having problems. Misfire problems on multiple cylinders which was my original problem. Dealer replaced spark plug and coil pack on cylinder 3. Picked up last night and today engine light is back on with misfire on cylinder 4. This has been ongoing problem since September 2018! Again, very disappointed. This is our family's tenth Escape but this will be the last one!

It's a load of fun with all the Tech. updates. It's a large SUV condensed down for a smaller family but with all the bells and whisles of an Explorer loaded. Great handling and excellent Sync 3 system. Powerful SUV and more roomy than our older 2014. Great workmanship inside and 18 inch wheels and beautiful rims. Wow, what a ride!

I leased a 2017 Escape SE and couldn't be happier with it - it's easy to maneuver, quiet on the highway, has plenty of passing power on the highway, great storage capacity, and nice tech options (Bluetooth Audio/SiriusXM/Rear View Camera). I traded in my 2009 Pontiac G8, which I loved, but it's time to move on into something more practical. My only complaint would be the 4" screen. It's set deep in the dash and it's hard to see the Rear View Camera, but it's fine for radio. I use Nav on my phone, so the Tech package with the 8" screen wasn't necessary. Great product, reasonable price, and zero buyers remorse.
