@ 5400 miles

@ 5400 miles the engine started going through coolant. Hi temp warning light on even on a cold start after sitting overnight. Vehicle towed to the selling dealer . Short block replaced. Problem sloved however this type of failure should not occur at 4 months old. The dealership was very accommodating providing a loner vehicle , the engine was on D99 backorder, repair time took 8 working days. Time will tell if this vehicle lasts a few years before trading out of it while maintaining brand loyalty.

2019 Ford Escape "S" 2.5 liter

Drove the CRV, RAV4, and all the others. Escape S is thousands $$$ less than the competition. With the Ford incentives it's a no brainer. The 2.5 liter is refined and quiet with adequate power @ 169hp for a senior like myself. The radio with bluetooth with a backup camera are super easy to use with large easy to read logical displays. It easy for a senior to enter with large door openings and plenty of interior space with comfortable well supported seats for those long drives. Easy to park. Plenty of cargo room for luggage and groceries. I am pleased with the 22.7 mpg overall. I can't wait to see what the mpg will achieve on highway drives. I am impressed with the smooth quiet ride. The tires are a little noisy but still OK. I will replace them with quieter ones when they wear out. Under 19K a GREAT BARGAIN!

2019 AWD Escape Titanium which replaced a 2018 Escape. Safe and Smart package a welcomed option, especially the adaptive cruise control and collision warning. Lane guidance feature works great. Rear cross traffic alert extremely useful. This suv is fun to drive, acceleration is quick, especially in Sport mode. Front seats are very comfortable with many electric adjustments for both front seats. Trim is well done with no noticeable issues. Sync3 works great and is very responsive. Navigation system is accurate although updates should be available more than once a year. Headlights are very good on both low and high beams; auto high beam works great. This SUV is very quiet when driving. Start/stop technology is more annoying than useful with no noticeable mpg improvement. The sound system is exceptional with many settings available. SiriusXM system has never lost the signal. Visibility is very good and the backup camera is outstanding. I highly recommend this vehicle.

Winter is Coming...

When it came time to replace my wife's cute-ute, she had her heart set on the Escape already - she just loved the way it looked. Regardless, I asked that she make the rounds to make sure it was suitable and the best choice. The competition we lined up was the VW Tiguan, The Subaru Forester and the Honda CRV. In comparison, the Titanium package with the 2.0l ecotec turbo felt more powerful than all of them (especially the Forester). It steered, and handled as well as the VW. And was $10k cheaper than the Honda with a similar option load (although it did not have many of Ford's options even available). In MN, AWD is a must and options to ease the long winter are important. The heated seats and heated steering wheel were a favorite for my wife and not many vehicles in it's class had the heated wheel. The Sync3 is intuitive and easy to learn and a much nicer system than a lot of the others we drove. It drives and handles very precisely for a sport-ute. The brakes are right there and very strong. Having driven it for about 3 months now, my only gripes might be these: 1. The jury is still out on the start/stop system. I am not sure if it actually improves the MPG or if we like it that much. It is not THAT intrusive. Just a little weird when it shuts down and the engine and fan all go silent. 2. Even though it seemed big when we were driving it, the cargo bay behind the seats is on the smaller side for the ones we test drove. I would like it if it had a bit more room. The cabin feels roomy though, so maybe they sacrificed one for the other. 3. If you test drive the SE or SEL, you will notice the 1.5l turbo is not very strong. We would not even consider buying that version because of it. I highly recommending upgrading to the Titanium for the engine upgrade. If you can afford it, you will not regret it.

Not a Ford guy, until now

My very last test drive, after a year of research, was a Ford Escape in SEL trim. I had researched everything from Chevy Equinox to Toyota RAV4 and had eliminated all but the Escape and the Forester. Why did I choose the Escape? 1. Much sportier driving performance. Handling is superb and the 2.0 Liter EcoBoost gives me all the power I need for towing and my somewhat demanding daily commute. 2. Fit and finish were very good and the so-called outdated dash display is wonderfully easy to use and doesn't get washed out when the sun is behind you, or off to the side, like so many displays. 3. Storage space, especially with the seats down, is more that adequate to haul a new dishwasher or luggage for 5 people. There could be more cubbies in the dash, but overall, this is a first world problem. 4. Comfort. It took me a while to find the sweet spot, but with 3 driver memory, once I found it, the driver's seat fits me like a glove and I am very happy with the leather upholstery look and feel. Oh, and the heated seats also warm up your lower back! 5. Safety equipment and parking assist. While I may never use the latter, I really am impressed with the collision alert system, the adaptive cruise, and even the blind spot monitoring. While I believe that being aware and alert is primarily my responsibility, these I consider backup systems for when I fail to be diligent. 6. Couldn't stand the droning CVTs in most new CUVs. The Forester was nice and very appealing, but the handling, power and price of getting comparable features, like heated leather seats, was $5-$6,000 more because of the required trim packages. 7. AWD? I decided I didn't need it for the 3-4 days in the year it was useful for. I went for FWD and the factory towing package which will enable us to handle up to 3,500 lbs of camping trailer or boat hauling. Lastly, I am just very impressed with the quality of this vehicle and I really like the way it looks. I was convinced I should get one before the pickings got thin, what with the new model (with an EVT! ) coming out and the incentives that are available. I have absolutely no buyer's remorse over this purchase.
