2015 Ford Escape - Great so far
I had to trade in my Mustang because I was expecting my first baby. The Ford Escape has been a great "mom car" so far. I wanted something cute, but practical and it has fit the bill. The car seat fits behind the passenger seat with a decent amount of legroom still left for a passenger. I can fit the diaper bag on the floor behind the passenger seat too! With a baby comes all sorts of baby gear. We can fit our daughter's exersaucer/jumper in the trunk with the full-size stroller folded up when we make a trip to grandma's. I was worried about how my dogs would do riding with the baby, so it's great to have a car that will accommodate my two cocker spaniels in the "trunk" while I can still see them to keep an eye on them without them being able to get too close to the baby. While the extr... (more)
Historia
My family has taken our Escape to the drive-in movies. We lifted the trunk and sat in the back. It was a great time!
A Favor
This small SUV gets decent gas mileage while still fitting my 6'8" husband, me, our baby, our 2 dogs, and all of our baby's stuff! It's always a struggle to find a vehicle with enough headroom and legroom for my husband. The Escape was one of the few small SUVs he could fit in. I also appreciate having the tinted back windows to keep the sun off my baby girl. I like having multiple USB outlets in the front. My husband and I can both charge our phones at the same time. The climate control works well for us, since I am always colder than he is. I like the vents in the back that have done a g... (more)
En Contra
I had some issues working with Ford when I bought the vehicle, though they seem to be more dealership related than all of Ford. They hadn't gotten my signature on one of my rebates, so Ford wasn't going to reimburse them for it. They incessantly called me and harassed me telling me I had to come back in or they were going to charge me thousands of dollars. As I was 8 months pregnant at the time and still had a full-time job, this rubbed me the wrong way. A different, nicer approach would have definitely been more appreciated. So in terms of customer service for buying a Ford, I was disappo... (more)
2003 Ford Escape - A good solid car.
The vehicle is a 4X4 with 4 wheel drive.
This can be turned on manually.
The power breaks are very reliable.
My main like about this car is the feeling of safety.
The power steering has a natural feel to it.
The interior has held up really well.
The seat covers and trim are still intact.
The mirrors are set up well.
The power adjustment control is very useful.
The dashboard is arranged in a way that is easy to see.
My favorite part is the seats.
They are comfortable and easy to adjust.
There is plenty of legroom and enough headroom.
The center console is setup well and has lots of room.
The back seat is roomy and comfortable.
Historia
The most fun I had in this vehicle was working as a visiting nurse in the country.
Once I was so far out I was nearly out of road. I got outside to look around and noticed a black bear looking at me through the woods. I was glad the car is easy to get into because I broke all records getting back inside.
A Favor
The best features are the air conditioner and heat.
Both of these work very well.
The power steering is easy to use.
The power breaks use just the right amount of pressure.
The headlights work well at night and in low light conditions(such as a tunnel).
I like the color scheme on the outside of the car.
The interior colors are pleasant and not distracting.
The carpet in the floorboards has held up well.
The fabric in the ceiling is still in place.
The door handles and the hatchback door are all still working.
The wiper blades, front and back, are placed well and work in bad weather.

En Contra
It is difficult to see when backing up.
I once broke the rear window on a trash bin due to poor visibility.
Another problem is that the interior lights don't come on automatically when the door is opened.
A switch must be used to turn them on.
I have had trouble with the cruise control switch.
The cruise control itself works great but the switch placement is a problem.
When I get out of the car my coat will hang on the switch and pull the cover off.
This has happened twice because it sticks out too far.
The gas mileage could be better.
It has plenty of power but it really sucks down ... (more)
2012 Ford Escape - Ok for the price
I have had a 2012 Ford Escape for about 3 years now. I really loved it at first. I thought it was a good size for our family and it drove smooth. I have not had any problems with the engine or burning oil and I have put about 60000 miles on it. However, I have had a lot of issues with the alignment that I can't seem to get completely fixed. The fuel life is also declining as the car ages.
Historia
My vehicle was the only one that was able to handle the ice last winter that wasn't a 4-wheel drive.
A Favor
Smooth ride at first, good size, decent gas mileage
En Contra
Alignment, tires
