This Ford Escape has been very unreliable. It is not a family car by no means. It is difficult to get a infant car seat in and out. The engine has already gone including the transmission, which needed replaced before 100 thousand miles. The only pro is that it is electric seats and windows including the sun roof. The vehicle does drive well in the snow; however, in water it hydro planes very bad. The back hatch doesn't stay up. We have replaced more parts on this vehicle that it is worth.

Vehicle rides smooth and just floats along the road. It is roomy inside to include my family of four and two dogs. We take it to the beach every weekend, and we love the sunroof. It performs great on the beach and the sand. It doesn't like the winter ice, but likes to play with the snow. The Escape does eat some gas up fully loaded, but does great on the highway for pick up and passing other cars. With a family of four, you still can go shopping with plenty of room for packages in the back. We tow two jet ski's with no problem, plenty of power! Wish the mirrors were a little bigger when towing. The tires are quiet and smooth ride. There is no road noise inside car. The Escape is everything you would expect from Ford. A very happy customer.
