2005 Ford Escape - Paid too much
I purchased my car for $4,000 with the assurance it was in good running condition. It met my needs in that it had A/C, 4WD, and four doors. Unfortunately, it costs me another $4,000 to get a new engine put in less than two months after buying it. The dealer had lied about its engine, which was actually badly malfunctioning. I even tried suing the dealer but lost in court. The car itself runs good now. The clear coat is peeling from the paint, and the interior has some issues with vinyl coming unglued. But it performs like a dream and seems to be reliable with the new engine. I'd buy the model again but only from a reputable dealer and with written assurances as to its quality.
Story
I do remember it breaking down not long after purchase and being very angry.
Pros
It has four-wheel drive, which is good for my rural home where it snows frequently. The A/C works, and it has a six-CD changer. There is plenty of room for my children.
Cons
The engine had a bent rod that was causing the head gasket to blow repeatedly. Engine had to be replaced shortly after purchase. Clear coat peels off the hood. Vinyl comes unglued from interior.
2017 Ford Escape - A good vehicle except…
I love the fact that it sits up higher than cars, so you get a better view of the road ahead, especially with the large windshield. I love the hands-free phone system as well. My Escape gets terrific gas mileage as well. It drives well, but still has a bit of road noise.
Story
Driving home in near white-out conditions. Took us 2-1/2 hours to drive 60 miles. The snow was so bad we could go no faster than 25 mph, and in most cases under 20 mph.
Pros
Large windshield. Hands-free phone system and Sirius XM. Great gas mileage. Roomy.
Cons
Windshield wipers are too large and don't do an adequate job. When the weather is cold, the lift gate doesn't latch fully and you cannot lock your vehicle. The seats are a bit uncomfortable.

I have purchased numerous cars at this dealership. The sales people have always been helpful without overbearing. I also appreciate a loaner vehicle during maintenance.
