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.

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.

I bought a 2017 escape 2.0 se in 2016 and at 16k miles I started experiencing a rattling noise from the front struts and a stiffer ride then when it was new almost like they're worn out. Well at 35k miles and numerous dealership visits I'm going through the lemon law after I was lied to about my issue and it was said to be many things causing it and it was normal. The trans has a 2 to 3 gear hesitation which cause it to pause and jerk the car each time it shifts, the dealership has only provided excuses and outdated tsb to fix the issue. I always heard Ford had a great customer service so I bought a ford remaining optimistic about he good things I've seen and heard, well. Needless to say I'll never buy another Ford and I'd advise you to do the same

Great car but...

The Escape is a great little car. It's pleasant to drive, it has a monstrous amount of cargo space, and gets good gas mileage. The ride definitely isn't Lincoln quality but it's comfortable enough. I would greatly recommend the car itself to anyone. However, BUYER BEWARE! If you purchase one of these cars, DO NOT BUY A BLUE ONE! There are numerous paint defects that have been reported with this color (paint peeling and flaking off), mine is one of them (I think that the paint color is called Lightning Blue Metallic). Not only that, but rust has appeared behind the rear passenger doors. So far, Ford is refusing to address the problem. I keep the vehicle clean, so owner maintenance is not to blame. Since it is three months out of the bumper to bumper warranty, the dealership is attempting to refuse to address the problem. So far, I'm looking at $1,500+ in repair costs on a three year old car, which is completely inexcusable. So while I think it is an excellent little car, please heed my warning!
