Nice quality and fun to own.

My Escape is a 2016. Built in Kentucky. I have over 30,000 miles on it already. The wife and I are very happy with it. We are 67 years old and we shopped for small SUVs 60 miles south and 50 miles north. The milage is what continues to truly make us happy. Most driving is highway on cruise. We get 30-31 mph. The model is a SE with eco-boost. This model year has a very comfy full power drivers seat. The passenger seat is not power and is not as comfy. Remember, the car is now 3 years old and I read that the interior is even nicer. The rear cargo area with seats folded down is surprisingly, quite large. The paint job is a beautiful pearlescent deep white. The quietness on the highway surprised us. It came with Michelin X Green tires. So far no visible wear! You can adjust the tail gate to go up only as much as you like. 3 different buttons to raise or close it. On the outside door pillar is a keypad which lights up to open. Good if you lock your keys in the car, (and remember your code) Tire pressure warning if low. Very nice Sync 3. My model year on the SE did not come with GPS. Only 2 wishes. Better passenger seat and GPS. These probably are on the 2018. Avery nice car. - 2.0
4 months ago I would have given this vehicle a 10

Until June of 2018 I loved my Ford Escape SE then things started going wrong. I received a recall notice for the engine which led to it being replaced. After that the engine issues apparently caused transmission issues which I'm now waiting on Ford to tell me how much they will assist in the cost. I was told when the engine was replaced the prior dealership did not reprogram the computer for the new engine. Apparently, it caused heating issues at higher speeds which apparently damaged the transmission. If you do not live in a state like Florida with 70 mph speed limits, or drive mostly on roads under 55 mph, you may never notice it. Once you drive at higher speeds you get transmission warning errors which may lead to the vehicle going into a "safe mode", cutting off A/C and lowering the speed so the engine and transmission can cool down. I really love the looks of the 2014 model, more than the newer ones, and I definitely loved the vehicle. Now, after spending a lot of time in shops and being assured it's fixed and not, I cannot recommend this vehicle to anyone. Do your homework before buying other Ford products as well because apparently this is an issue occurring in other vehicles too, sometimes at much lower mileage on the odometer. Be careful buying a used one because you never know if the vehicle was repaired. - 5.0
Nicest vehicle I ever owned and I have owned alot.

Has reasonable ride, excellent handling, large hauling space, comfortable seating, very versatile, 26+ MPG, and nice appointments. Too bad I think it is ugly. Maybe they will do better on the next Escape I buy.
