We never thought we'd be in an ESCAPE, EVER, not in this life or next - we hated the boring look and basic utilitarian styling. Except now, we noticed in late 2017 that the styling had changed, something very stylish yet easy on the eyes. But it was a ford, how great could it be, would we have irrepairible GEM Module Problems of years past?? What's with the app FORD PASS?! Now this is a significant improvement over is competitors!! The more we mulled over it, the more we finally realized it was revamped enough for us to take notice and if it had GEM Module problems, we would definitely take it back (the warranty had improved!). All kidding aside, we have finally entered a new era of FORD Vehicles - after all, they would not be in business if their vehicles quality never improved. For the record, we owned 1996 Explorer and a 1994 Ranger --Ford came back and was finally a contender in our books, the quality had improved. We are the typical BMW & MBZ drivers we moved from a sporty number inline 4 - MBZ CLA-250. Here's what we knew we wanted...a SUV with similar "quality of drive" with same type of engine & power plus techie stuff that was lacking in the MBZ. Little did we know that for the same price of the GLA-250 base, we could get more space and techie things -- we never knew we needed (i.e. backup camera, more proximity sensors that we didn't know we needed, rear door foot sensor opener, & rear seat reading lights? - who knew?) Though the initially the differences were short on the base model escape. We gained creature comforts and more tech than what we had in the MBZ for the price. We found ALL of that in the Escape Titanium is smaller than the GLC - but so is it's pricing >20k). Only a couple real downsides: #1 are the bucket seats - not quite as ergonomically comfortable as the MBZ, seats are more "truck-like" than crossover type seats and #2 touch screen, some of the UI (User Interface is a bit tricky) - but once again, it won us over -- it just takes some getting used to (options, audio set-up, functionality, etc).

Though this car is being leased I may just buy it because it is comfortable it is well manufactured it is pleasant to drive and it gives me a sense of security, this is based on 503 miles of driving so far.

This SUV is perfect for someone who needs cargo space, but not too much, needs comfort, reliability, and enough technology to IMPROVE safety. We've been driving Escapes since 2002, and it's the perfect vehicle for my driving in Buffalo, NY. Would recommend this vehicle to anyone!

I'd rate this SUV as a near-luxury vehicle. It has much better acceleration than I expected and sporty handling. It is nicely appointed with creature comforts and the latest technology. I did careful comparison shopping and I think the Escape is the best value in its class. I love this car and I was reluctant to switch over to an SUV. I don't miss the driving experience of my Acura one bit when I'm in the Escape. Update: It’s now 2021 and we still love our Escape. So far we have had completely trouble free flawless performance. I would bu another Ford. Maybe an electric next time around.

This is just a sweet little SUV, and I got the top of the line Titanium. It was a dealer loaner with 3,500 miles on the odometer so I got $8,000 off. The technology is amazing. The people who bought the S model...my dealer only had SE...S is for rental fleets...and complain...C'mon....it's like ordering a Big Mac and complaining because it's not filet mignon. I had a previous Escape FWD SE and it was fine. I have never had a top of the line anything, but am extremely pleased.
