I've owned a Ford Escape for 11 years now and I have not had any significant issues with it. The car has functioned great. The modular seats and roof racks have made it a practical vehicle for a large number of day-to-day activities. Following routine maintenance has been a key to maintaining the reliability and function of the vehicle.

This has been my main vehicle for almost two years, after being a family car since 2013. It was purchased to replace an aging Toyota Sienna. It handles incredibly and gets great gas mileage. For a car that's going on 12 years, it's surprisingly intact, although the pieces of leather above the front armrests did fall off in late 2016. Overall, the car has been awesome, and I look forward to my next Escape!
