Great car, Sync 3 sucks

By Larry L written on 12-24-2016

We're getting older and the 2014 Fusion was just too hard for the wife to get in and out of. The Escape Titanium was a perfect fit for her and even me at 6'4", I have zero issues getting in and out. Leather seats are comfy and it doesn't hurt to drive it any distance. The Sony stereo system sounds wonderful although the controls are a little much. While some of the controls are on the steering wheel, you'll want to set the radio before you drop it in gear- trust me. Ride for the size of the car is decent, no apparent body rattles. It is not a quiet ride but tolerable, depending on the asphalt you're driving on. Brakes work great. The 2.0 EB engine is a power house in this platform. Great acceleration. Gas mileage for the first run was a little over 30 at speeds from 65 to 85 hiway in rolling hills. I would strongly suggest the Blind Spot monitor. There is a huge blind spot on the drivers side but the monitor is fabulous for letting you know there's a car there you won't find in the side mirror. Our biggest complaint- Sync 3. All we use is a phone- no data, no texting, no streaming, just a phone yet our Smart phones won't work with it, we have to buy new, certain model phones for it to work. Ford has a list of compatible phones that we now have to go out to buy. Hands free phone in Texas is a requirement, not an option so until we buy new phones, we can't use the same phones in this car like we did in the 2014 Fusion....kinda stupid on Fords part. Had we known this, we probably would not have bought the car. So if you are buying, I'd check out your phones compatibility before signing a contract. Research "Sync 3 phone compatibility" which will give you a Ford Sync website with the list. Additional. After owning this car for 7 months, we have gotten around the Sync3 with new phones. Sync3 works great as does voice commends.We have come to really love the Escape. It gets great fuel mileage, loads of power, ride is great as is handling in wet or dry. About the only complaint I have is the location of the USB port is buried in the console and is hard to connect. Otherwise, every feature on the car is well worth the little money we paid for it. There's a lot of content in this car and for the money paid, it's the best bargain we've encountered in years. I highly recommend a test drive if this style of car is your target vehicle. You'll probably be buying one.

2017 Escape Titanium AWD 2.0 Rocks!

By Fred Flintstone written on 04-01-2017

Try to use a buying service like Costco or True Car or X-Plan. With rebates this vehicle gets cheaper than a comparable CRV. I love the stellar performance of 2.0 engine with quick acceleration. Great braking too. I'm not looking for 34 mpg, so I turn off the start-stop feature and get 21 mpg. That's fine for me. I've been driving this Escape for over a month now with zero problems or complaints. My favorite feature is Sync 3, along with Ford Pass, and Apple Play. I'm afraid some people may not understand all the technology that comes with this vehicle but it's awesome. Sync 3 reads my incoming texts to me plus I can easily respond by voice. Remote start either through key fob or phone app. Plenty of storage, if I'd needed more I would have bought an Edge. I love the back up camera and cross traffic alerts. Blind spot warning is great too. My last car was from 2007, so this was a major tech upgrade. All around it's fun to drive and easy to get used to all these features. Love the Sony 350 watt premium sound with subwoofer, no need for aftermarket upgrade. Memory seat means spouse and I can now easily share car with seat and mirror settings. OH, and the ambient lighting is really cool! Great job Ford!

Perfect Combo of Comfort, Reliability, & Tech

By Dan written on 06-10-2017

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.
