Used Ford Escape for Sale in Ottumwa, IA

I believe this vehicle is extremely well made. There is zero rust on the vehicle, although we did have to have the dealer remove the panel above the back wheels as the paint was bubbling. In looking at other Escapes, we have noticed this to be common. It has a solid body and does not drive like a truck, even though SUVs have somewhat of a truck base. It is a smooth ride for sure. The interior is leather and feels like a high-end vehicle. It has all of the features I would look for in a vehicle including CD player, Sync to my phone, dual climate control and heated seats. My family can get in and out of this vehicle easily. I love the fact that it still has the SUV style body and not the crossover body style. I have driven the car for about 25,000 miles with no issues mechanically whatsoever. It is roomy enough to take on vacations and yet functional enough for me to drive everyday. The remote start is definitely one of my favorite features and comes in very handy in north Iowa winters. The only thing I wish it did have was DVD/entertainment system for my children. I wish it had mechanically opening rear hatch just for ease when loading things in the back. I do wish that Ford would have kept this body style past 2012. I would own a newer version if they had. Even though there are a few things I would change, I will definitely go looking for another car exactly like this one.

I really like how overall reliable it is. My past vehicles have been somewhat dingy and older cars, and I could not travel long distances with them. I also had to constantly pay for minor repairs. These were also both Ford vehicles, but driving around short distances they were still reliable themselves, so I went with another Ford vehicle, though this time a newer model. I went with an Escape. So far I have had no troubles with it. Even though it was not brand new, it still runs incredibly well. It is a very smooth ride. I have not been worried about it failing on me at all. However, the gas mileage is not great. In town it is alright but on the highway you won't be able to get far before you'll have to fill up the tank again. There are also a lot of controls I am unfamiliar with. There are so many buttons that I never know what will do what, so it can be confusing sometimes.
