I absolutely love this vehicle. It is sporty, like me, and matches my personality. It doesn't look too girly and has plenty of room for five passengers. The sound system of course was one of my biggest deciding factors, and the factory system that comes with the vehicle is plenty loud enough, with speakers installed in both the back and the front. There is a console between the two front seats that is plenty deep to hold whatever you need. This console also has two cup holders in the back that can flip down and up to make more room on the floor. Of course, there are two cup holders up front. I am a newer driver, I've only had my license for about seven years, and this vehicle is so easy to drive. It drives very smoothly and we took it over 5,000 miles (one road trip) and it is still running great! The only problem we have had with the vehicle hasn't affected it's performance. The service engine light has been on since we bought it and so has the fuel cap light, but we haven't been able to find anything wrong with it in regards to those areas. We think it may be the sensors in the vehicle and will work on changing those next. If you do plan on installing a new stereo system, get ready to spend some time doing it!

I've never been anything but pleased with my 2013 Ford Escape. The mileage is fantastic, and I love how easy it is to see the fuel mileage the car has been getting. The Escape is comfortable and roomy, which makes it the perfect choice if you're thinking about starting a family. Not only is it the perfect height for placing a car seat into, it is at a good height for easing older family members into the car. You don't have to crouch down to get into it, it's an easy slide. The rear seats fold down to be completely flat with the back storage area, which makes it easy to fit large items into it. The back hatch has several different ways to open, from the inside of the car, to the key fob, to several buttons on the hatch itself. Grocery shopping has never been easier - the Escape can hold SO much! The keyless entry is also a great alternative to carrying around the keys. If I want to go running, I can lock my keys in my car without fear of being locked out.
