This has been the best car I have ever owned. It is very reliable, only broke down after almost 10 years of driving when the transmission finally needed to be replaced. I have driven the car hard it has almost 200,000 miles, but still drives well. It has a spacious trunk and plenty of leg room in the backseat.

It is a nice-looking SUV, especially with the Titanium package. We got a good deal on the price of the vehicle from the Ford Dealer in addition to 0% interest. The 2.0 Turbo engine is smooth and powerful. This SUV has good acceleration with the optional 2.0 Ecoboost engine. Driving without being real conservative, we average a combined city/highway mileage of 27.3 miles per gallon. The ride is comfortable, and the vehicle handles well. Brakes are good. Navigation screen is a good size and gives clear directions. Controls are good quality. The SUV has good room inside, and the back seats laying flat is a great feature for more cargo space. They are also easy to operate. Heated front seats are nice, and the rear camera/sensors work well. Minor negative observations. I wish there was just a little less road noise at highway speed. Seal at bottom of doors would probably help get rid of some of that. The front seats could use about another 1/2 inch of knee bolster. The Sony Audio System is acceptable but is not as good as the Harmon Kardon one we had in our last car. The Sync System has a hard time understanding voice commands. These are minor negative observations after owning vehicle for 18 months and 15K miles. Ford Escape is a great vehicle and a good value for the money.
