Overall, the quality of the vehicle is fine. It's not super exciting or sexy in the least, but it's a Ford. I was desperate for a new vehicle before moving, and this fit all of my stuff with enough room for my dog. The seats are comfortable enough for long drives. The back storage area is fairly large, too large for everyday use. I don't carry much stuff, so things just seem to roll around. The one major downside are the cloth seats in the back. The seats absolutely pick up every single dog hair. I have tried to brush the hair off or roll it off, but it won't budge. I think I will have to get it professionally cleaned just because of the hair. At first, the sound system worked well with my Bluetooth, but for some reason, for the past four months or so, it will not connect to my phone. I have no idea how to fix it. It uses Synch by Microsoft and it's terrible. Overall, I have been thinking about getting rid of the vehicle since it is just too large for my needs now.

This SUV has been a real workhorse for me. I have only had the car for four years but have put over 100k miles on it, and I have never had any serious issues with the engine or interior. The Ford company has also been very active in alerting me of any recall, no matter how minor and remedying it quickly and without charge. Even though my car is outfitted with the standard accessories and add ons, I feel like my Escape is stylish and even luxurious.
