I have an ST line. The vehicle is stylish and sporty. Seems to have decent power. That's about all the good. The bad. It feels very cheap for 35k. The infotainment is very laggy. All the buttons on the steering wheel are super tinyband in my opinion in strange positions. AKA your voice command button is on the left but to hang up is on the right. The music skip/next button is on the right but the volume is on the left. Not a deal breaker just annoying. Other buttons like them automatic lift gate don't seem to respond without pressing hard. The heated steering wheel is a favorite feature on any vehicle. This one has this feature but only seems to hear the outer side and not all around. When gripping in some areas you will find it to have no heat at all. Just very spotty. The interior quality feels very cheap. With just 500 miles the leather seats are already wrinkling. The steering is strange also. When on the highway coming out of a curve it feels like the steering has a delay from your movements. The engine vibrates a lot when at idle and transfers to the entire vehicle. You feel like your in an very cheap economy car. Overall I would pass on this car. It's not worth the price tag. This vehicle should have a price of about $18,000.

I really like the ride and how quiet it is. It's not only when running on the battery but at highway speeds too. I have seen a few quirks with the Sync system. I normally connect via Bluetooth and charge via the QI charger on the console but my older phone gets hot so I use the USB to connect. This can cause the display to freeze. I have figured out to disconnect from the car then plug in. I would imagine this is something they are looking at but have reported it anyway. The only other quirk is the speed limit guidance when using cruise control sometimes reads the truck speed limit since they are on different posted signs in IL. My speed will drop suddenly as it reads the wrong sign. I don't know if that is peculiar to my car or any that uses that technology.

I found the vehicle to be very easy to operate and my salesman Danny Park helped me with anything that I didn’t know how to do.

I have had friends that had Escapes in the past and liked them so when I got one for a long w/e rental where I would be doing a lot of driving I was looking forward to seeing how it did. It did incredibly average. There was nothing really wrong or right with it. There was a mix of good and bad plastic. Most control were well laid out, but controls that were not frequently used were hidden under multiple layers of menu that took a long time to find. Ride and handling were just OK for a small SUV. Ride was good on smooth surfaces but lost it over big bumps. Not floaty like some car without handling packages. But too much lean for handling and generally didn't give me much confidence. Performance/acceleration was mixed. It was generally pretty good, but when merging/passing it just did not want to downshift enough and struggled to do it. And this was with the larger engine. Road, wind and engine noise were again OK. Never enough you couldn't hear but always slightly annoying. Base stereo is just that, a base version that is ok if you just what something playing but not something you really listen to. Hopefully the upgrade is better. Back seat is pretty good, but cargo area was disappointing. Fortunately I did not need an opportunity to really test the brakes, but in normal usage they were fine. For a 4 wheel drive vehicle gas milage was pretty OK. Just over 30 over 500 miles of combination highway and city driving. All said, it was a LOT better than a RAV4 that I had rented a couple of months earlier, but not nearly as good as my own 2016 Golf sportwagen.
