This car was by far one of the best purchases I have made for myself after graduating college. I was in love with the body and style of the car at first sight in regards to shape and appearance because the square/box like front end exterior gives it less of a soccer mom feel than other brands I had seen at other dealers. I love the sunroof feature on cool weather and sunny days. It gives me the feel of the open road without The car runs very smooth and quiet with very little interior rattles or sounds. I have owned it for 5+ years and have drove it 65,000 + miles with no major mechanical or electrical issues. I also love the leather seats which give the interior a very stylish and sleek look. The seats are very durable and easy to clean with just a simple damp washcloth. This has come in handy many times when my young nieces convince me to stop for ice cream! The interior of the car is very spacious and the seats fold down quick and easy to accommodate larger loads. My particular model also features interior lights including pink, blue, green, yellow, orange, and white giving you the ability to set the mood to your liking at the push of a button. Lastly I loved the Aux connection which allowed to plug my smartphone directly into the radio system for easy music streaming.

Safe and warm

I purchased this vehicle after I totaled my previous one in a car accident. I wanted something that was heavy, had space for multiple children and pets, would run well on all terrain, had a lot of "get-up-and-go," and most importantly, would keep my family safe if we ever had another major accident. In addition, we had become accustomed to some of the creature comforts of our previous vehicle. So I looked at older models rather than new vehicles so we could also get some of the bells and whistles. The Ford Escape gives us all of those factors and more. We couldn't be happier with this vehicle. The 2011 model of the Escape has the older body frame that I like. It is more angular and solid looking, almost like a truck, but fully enclosed. The XLT has auto-sensing four-wheel drive, which provides amazing traction on slick, snowy, gravelly, and uneven road surfaces. We can stow gear in the area behind the rear seat or on top. The V6 engine provides a lot of kick. Just one step on the gas and we're going full speed on the freeway. It rides smoothly, without any rattles or shaking. It runs quietly and is comfortable inside.
