Great gas and electric mileage.

I bought this Ford Escape PHEV SUV for my woman to drive as she hates going to get gas. She can go to work and run around Los Angeles, on electric. Average around 65 mpg. I live in San Diego and she only burns gas on long trips to visit me or more than 35 miles. I Iike the cargo area that fits a large dog crate, for my German Shepherd and we still have room for two more Large people or three if normal size. On negative side it is more noisy than the Fusion PHEV it replaced, that was the quietest car I have ever been in. I have a mach-e X and compared to it I prefer the ride in the Escape for comfort. She drives a bit on the fast side in the 80s range with heavy gas and braking. So mpg could be a lot better if she drove more conservative. Over all for the money and being a Platinum Titanium, with every option, except for the tow package it's great little car.

“Dynamic” cruise control just means it goes slow as hell. Slams on the breaks when you drive up to someone at a stop light. Beeps at you constantly to NO END if you don’t put in your seat belt. Beeps 1000 times every time you turn the car off to check your back seat. The car is horrible. HATE IT!

Overheating Engine!

I cant tell you much about our experience with this vehicle. We had it for 2 months before we were getting a warning about the engine overheating while driving on a highway. We brought it in to be repaired and have not had the vehicle back in months. The dealership gives us different information each time we talk to them. Ford Canada calls and the dealership tells them something different.

Zippy!

For a 3 cylinder turbo, it does pretty well. Using premium v regular gas makes a huge difference. However, the rear doors don’t open wide enough to put my wheelchair in the back seat without highly risking scratching the paint (I’ve already done this once). The brake and accelerator are a bit too far apart; if I’m sitting comfortably close to the accelerator, I’m practically sitting on top of the brake pedal. If I’m sitting comfortably enough close to the brake, I strain to reach the accelerator. According to the service manager, neither one can be adjusted.
