Used 2023 Ford Escape Consumer Reviews
Fun to drive but not relaxing for a long trip.
We test drove an Escape Hybrid. It was very peppy and responsive. I felt driving would take too much attention to be relaxing on a long trip. One thing that worried me was the close position of the brake and gas pedals and that the brake pedal seemed too high in relation to the gas pedal. That might be dangerous in an emergency situation. Also I worried about it not being a Top Safety Pick.
Too much technology for us!
Traded our (purchased new) 2018 Chevy Equinox LT. The Escape ST-Line Elite is solid, nice 2.0L engine is good, and yielded above 21 mpg in big city stop-and-go driving. For old-timers like us, it had way too much technology. We sold it and purchased a 2018 Equinox Premier, with all safety and convenience features we need, including collision avoidance, memory seat and side mirror technology. We technophobes are happy again! Ford dealer service rep. told us for electronic problems they usually keep the car 5-7 days: "No thanks" to that!

Enjoyed it . . . when it worked!
I had this car for just over a year. I enjoyed its ride, comfort, technology and gas mileage. However, it was back to the dealership three times for the same reoccurring problem: the vehicle would go into the battery saving mode rendering the Ford App useless and making it unable to receive updates from my home wifi. I contacted Ford Customer Service after it was returned in the same condition. Car was in the shop for almost two weeks before it was fixed. After the above, which included two replacement batteries, I gave up and traded it in.

Get up and go!
This Escape has as much go power as the 6 cylinder Mustang that I had. That car surprised me as well. It has a smooth ride and all the technical Intel available. I am learning how to drive again. I wanted the Hybrid for gas milage but 23.4 in town is not bad.

Riding on air!
We bought a new Hybrid Escape last week. We drove to our son and family from Grandville to Plainwell here in Michigan. The ride is smooth and quiet. Great gas mileage as well. This is our second Hybrid, but the first one was small. I love the seat room and general room of this vehicle!
