2012 ford escape XLT review.
My vehicle has had no major problems during the past 6 years I have owned it. I have been pleased with it is performance. It is a great size. It has made many trips to the mountains. It has been my favorite vehicle I have owned. I would definitely recommend it.

2012 ford escape xls runs reliably.
I haven't had any unexpected expenses with this vehicle. I have only had to spend money on the usual things, gas, oil changes, tires, brakes and battery. The vehicle runs reliably. Since it is a CUV, it can haul people and or cargo easily. I will seriously consider buying another ford vehicle for my next purchase.

Great and efficient car for travel.
I have not had the vehicle very long but so far no problems. I have owned the car a couple months and it runs smoothly with a decent miles per gallon. I would prefer a better miles per gallon than the twenty one I have on this car, but overall it runs nice and smoothly. The display inside the car is very nice and easy to navigate. I like this car and it is pretty efficient in everything needed.

Comfortable and dependable.
Owned this car for 8 years. Bought it to get off our hill when it snows. It has never let me down. Very few repairs. I get the oil changed every 5000 miles and have only replaced the tires once. Drove it over the mountains to pick up my kids at college many times without trouble. Still looks and runs great.

Perfect size just needs more powerful engine.
Drives well, but lacks power, must remove back seat headrests to fold the seats down, hard to access spare tire. I like the sirius radio that's built in, seats are comfortable enough, grips the road well during slippery conditions. I've had no real problems during the 6 years of driving.

Ford escape for country folk.
My ford escape is a great option for somebody who lives in a rural area. Having a vehicle with a higher body lets me go more places in the country than I would be able to with a sedan. It is not exactly an off roading vehicle, but it gets me more places. I also like the amount of space that it provides for transporting large items.
Jordyn M
on June 17, 2021
Good things, and bad things.
I really enjoy my vehicle—it's comfortable and has been reliable during the time I have used it. However, I have had issues in the past with the heating as well as the air conditioning where neither would work properly. A broken, melting belt very nearly set my car on fire once (thankfully dodged a bullet there), but it had caused smoke to come from the hood—it was a scary event. Then there's been general maintenance and needed 'updating' to the vehicle (for lack of better terminology) due to the vehicle being both used and a number of years old.
Amy S
on June 16, 2021
Perfect SUV for small family.
The ford escape is a great family car. All the appeal of a sedan with the room of an SUV. Great gas mileage. Mine gets 26-29 mpg. Available in manual transmission which was a plus for me. I have not had any major issues thus far, mechanically. Over all, I love my ford escape!
Megan S
on June 14, 2021
Very reliable vehicle, would recommend.
It is a reliable car, it does not hold up well to wet and salty road conditions for long. The underside is really rusty and makes getting things fixed or replaced more challenging. I haven’t had any issues with this car for the first 10 years. Overall I am happy with this car.
Logan C
on June 13, 2021
The vehicle is very good and I would recommend.
My vehicle is very good and I would recommend this car to anyone. It is a great first car for kids and is very easy to drive. The only problem I have is that the seats do not fold all the way down so you cannot stuff everything in the back. But the trunk has a lot of room.
Grace G
on June 12, 2021
It has Bluetooth and a padlock which is really great.
My car is great it has GPS navigation and has Bluetooth. The gas mileage is great also. I do not have to spend to much money at all on gas. My car runs great and has plenty of room and a lot of extra storage. It is a perfect car for someone with kids or someone who is a new driver. It also has a padlock for when you accidentally lock your keys in your car.
Erinn W
on June 11, 2021
Good American car, I love the heated seats.
I like the heated seats, I drive a lot of highway miles and I get about 21 miles to a gallon of gas. I like having the moonroof. The back is roomy enough for our pit bull to be comfortable. The roof rack comes in handy as well. It does well in the New England weather with all the snow.
Noelle G

Ford escape fanatic- white with tan interior.
I love the smooth ride I experience when driving my car. It is my second ford escape. Great cargo space, great brakes, and this vehicle gets great gas mileage. Easy to maneuver off road. The vehicle has a great stereo system with hands free calling, Sirius satellite radio, and volume and cruise control buttons on the steering wheel.
Erin R
on June 3, 2021
Great crossover for the average person.
My car can be somewhat uncomfortable when driven, you can feel all the bumps along the road. The turning radius is also not very good. It can take me a little bit to get my car turned around or parked sometimes. The car is sturdy and I have little problems with this model. I like the look and the trunk space is great to have with the seats folding down easily.
Tom B
on May 30, 2021
Excellent mid size SUV with great gas mileage.
My ford escape with the v6 engine has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. Gas mileage is also excellent. Cost of ownership is very reasonable. Gas mileage is excellent. Excellent internal space to carry small to medium size loads. Paint job has stayed very bright.
Pat G
on May 27, 2021
Love my ford escape and it serves me well.
I have not had any real problems. I have an oil leak that just leaks in winter but not in summer. They tell me it is because metal shrinks in cold and expands in heat. I love my ford escape and would buy another one in a minute. I love that my seats are electric and move smoothly.
ashley M
on May 27, 2021
Right amount of space on the inside. Back seats fold perfect for families.
Have issues with the fan nothing works unless it's set on full blast, some electronic issues. Not bad of a car once repairs are done. Issues with vapor lock. Good trunk space and storage departments. I have leather seats so I love that for when kids are in the car.
Belle S
on May 24, 2021
Great car that is great for a family.
It saves money on gas and I like it a lot. It is really roomie and I love that I can fold down the seats for extra ability to haul large items. The fabric is easy to clean especially with kids. I definitely like it a lot. I would totally recommend this car to anyone.
Brianna K
on May 24, 2021
The floor lights are so fun and unique! The sound system is awesome.
I love everything about the car except the engine. I have had a lot of problems with the engine. I have had it replaced and it still has smoked and broken down on me over 6x on the freeway. It is scary and dangerous to have the gas pedal not work and the car screen saying pull over engine light on out of nowhere. The inside is super nice. I love the floor lights, the air system and the radio and audio.
Nicole S
on May 23, 2021
If I had the choice, I would get a different vehicle.
Good car except it is rusting pretty badly. This is around the tailgate, back doors and wheels. Also have had continuing issues with the ball joints. I had them replaced a couple years ago and I have been told at inspections since that the ball joints are loose. Also the tailgate randomly does not open for some reason.
Debra L
on May 22, 2021
Visibility, dependability.
This car is excellent in snow. It is easy to back up because of the windows, I can see all around me. The escape is very dependable, this is my second one and have never had any mechanical problems even though my first one had over 100,000 miles on it.
Kailie S
on May 20, 2021
Love my 2012 ford escape!
Really reliable car. Only started having minor maintenance problems at 75k miles after 8 years. Very comfortable and spacious for a small SUV. Trunk space is perfect if you travel, play sports, etc. I have taken this car on multiple road trips and it is been great for that. Gas mileage could be better but this is an older model so I am sure the newer ones are better. I love the exterior of the car, I was really sad when they changed it in more recent models.
Fawn H
on May 20, 2021
I think escapes are great vehicles with good gas mileage.
I am on my second escape. They’re good vehicles with a good amount of space. I have always drove trucks but this was a good replacement. I do not feel like I am in a tiny car and it is great on gas mileage. Both of my escapes have been a little quirky. My last one had to be left running while you put gas in it. Also, both of my rear windshield wipers have been a problem. The last one just stopped working but my current escape has to be unhooked. The wiper was drawing power from the battery and killing it.
Emily K
on May 19, 2021
A great and reliable car. Great for road trips and everyday use.
Very spacious but not too much that it feels too large. The view point from the drivers seat is nice and open. I have great visibility when merging. Big trunk so great for groceries. There’s heated seats and that is always a plus. Minor break issue, there was a kink in the break.
Sara A
on May 17, 2021
Ford is for me and my family.
Works good and not too many issues. I like the drive and feel of the drive. Decent on gas. Good amount of room is inside the vehicle. Great for pet owners good room for dogs. Nice car for families of 4 and 5. Vi like this car a lot and would buy a new one. Seats up front are comfy.
Erik O
on May 14, 2021
Small, fuel efficient and dependable.
Rides comfortable while also being capable of leaving paved roads. I wish there was a little more ground clearance for deep snow in the Midwest, but it's not a bad height for getting in and out. I have no problems towing and the short axle to axle span allows easy trailer backing. The automatic four wheel drives kicks in fast without “clunking”. Parts are affordable which is a benefit when something does go wrong and many mechanics work on this car. Seats are firm and appear long lasting. There is plenty of storage and open space. Front has plenty of leg room, but I wish the back seat was a little roomier by my legs. There is nice tool storage under the rear carpet. Spare tire is a donut, which I wish was a full size. Fuel efficiency is what someone should expect with a 6 cylinder SUV.
Amber F
on May 8, 2021
The sunroof and extremely cold air plus the space.
This car is very spacious no problems so far. The sunroof is very big my son loves it. The gas mileage is great works perfect for me. We love to travel, so taking her on a road trip is perfect. Definitely a great family car we have one kid and another on the way so there’s a lot of space for both car seats.
Caroline S
on May 8, 2021
The blue exterior is beautiful. Always easy to spot.
Great on gas mileage, runs well, ford has great roadside assistance, would love to buy a newer version of the escape, love the trunk room, lots of seating, perfect for a family. Great for long road trips and very comfortable. Looks very clean, we love the blue color and tires look great. Engine runs well.
Remy N
on May 7, 2021
Great, reliable compact SUV.
Reliable and compact while still having plenty of room. Mechanically, I have had no problems with my car as long as you upkeep with the oil changes and basic maintenance. The seats are difficult to clean and, which is my only complaint. It is a very odd material that seems to stain be tu easily no matter what you spill on there.

The ranger of SUVs: 2012 ford escape review.
Many of the on board instruments like the radio display have stopped functioning as well as the climate control in the cabin. But there are good things. The car is very comfortable with leather seating and heated seats. The car also handles well and acts like a truck.
Sesha G

Wonderful small size SUV.
Issues with ac. Fixed it several times. Good all around vehicle for travel and can fit large amount inside. Still driving over 100,00 miles. No major me issues other than ac breaking. Love this SUV. Took several long trips across the state, can sleep inside if necessary. Has roof racks already in place for kayak.
Marcos N
on April 27, 2021
Great vehicle, just stay on top of maintenance.
This vehicle has been almost pain free for more than 8 years. Now that it is an older car, it has it is issues, even with regular maintenance. The exhaust pipe roots close to the manifold, and you hear the engine a lot louder. Also, the shock absorbers and struts are an item that you need extreme care of, and the brake pads have to be purchased direct from manufacturer, because the aftermarket pads were made front to the year, not even the end of prior year, or beginning of next year fit, the prongs are different from OEM pads.

on April 18, 2021
The amazing adventures of Ethel.
My car is a very reliable. Gas mileage is great. I only have to fill up once a week. I make sure that I keep my oil changed and fluids topped off. I like the back space so I can carry around things and not have to use the back seats. The sound system is really good.
Abby H

The escape of the ford review.
It seats 5 people. There is plenty of room in the trunk, and the air conditioning works well. I have not had a problem with it since getting it. The battery is around 6 months old. Everything is spacious and it fits three car seats. The gauges has a window that will tell you your oil life and how many miles till its empty.
Joy E
on April 12, 2021
The car is amazing. Great but!
The car is very reliable. I has great pickup speed. I have not had any issues with my car. The car does have some minor issues. It does not have Bluetooth connection or it does not have a sunroof. The car does however, have a very large truck space which is great for storage.

Problems with ford escape.
The sun roof leaks and is a common problem according to ford service department. During another incident my accelerator did not register and an error code appeared, again this was a common problem with this make and model per the ford service department. Material for seats are cheap and easily stain.

Ford escape 2012 limited edition the good and bad.
Water leak tailgate and hinges for tailgate glass broke. These are common issues due to poor design. Most that I have seen also have rear wheel wells rusting out. Rides nice, other features are great back up camera is great to have. Along with heated seats.
Ashley K
on April 8, 2021
Extremely reliable vehicle.
My ford escape is wonderful. It is extremely reliable and great for driving in the winter in the Midwest. The only complaint that I have is sometimes it shifts slowly and kicks back when I accelerate. There is also a little rust in the wheelhouse area, but I know that is common for ford escapes.
Jennifer S
on April 6, 2021
2012 ford escape is a great family vehicle.
This is the second ford escape I have purchased because I like it so much. It is comfortable and has enough space for my children in the back seat. I love the large trunk and am able to put the seats down for even more room. I have not had any problems. It is reliable and drives well in all weather conditions. One negative I have noticed with 2012 and previous models is rust forms above the back wheel wells.
Christine F
on April 4, 2021
I think it is important to know that the mileage is not great. If you are looking for a mid-size SUV this is the perfect car.
I like the size of the car, but I do not like how much and how fast I go through gas.
Dynthia W
on April 4, 2021
Mid-sized ford SUV, compact but big on reliability and fuel savings!
The 2012 ford escape is a pretty decent vehicle. It runs smoothly and performs well for the 6 cylinder SUV that it is. It will get up and go on the highway with no problems and gets pretty good gas mileage. The interior is a bit basic and could use more compartments and a USB port in the back seat for passengers. It is comfortable overall, but could use an adjustable lumbar support.
Celia E
on April 2, 2021
Dislikes of my ford escape.
It is not nearly as spacious as most SUVs and the gas mileage is terrible. But it is 4 wheel drive and it had a lot of power. There is also no auxiliary power supply. And the cigarette lighter on the bottom does not work. But it is nice for a all SUV. The back hatch is very spacious.
Sarah M
on April 1, 2021
It is a great car for a growing family. Not to big or small.
Overall I love my car. It runs beautifully and has just the right amount of space. The only issue we have seemed to have with it is the ac. It only works on the highest setting and if It's really hot outside it will not work a all.
Jenae J
on April 1, 2021
Smooth ride, but rust problem.
It drives very smooth, especially on the highway. It is also easy to control. The worst part of this vehicle is that it has rusted out in multiple places. The seats fold down to fit plenty in the back. The factory speakers are not quality, but can be replaced fairly easily.
James B
on March 31, 2021
Kids love the color changing lights.
My ford escape has all the bells and whistle that I love. Heated seats, great ac and heater. Keyless entry. It's one of the most comfortable cars I have ever had the privilege to drive. Downside is the tailgate is failing so I can always open my trunk.
Kathie A

The mobile bed I am able to turn the whole back part of vehicle into.
My vehicle runs like a champ has been well kept up and maintained over the years. I love all the space it gives me and my kids. Best thing is how flat the back seats lay down and I turn it into a bed and take me a ride to the nearest lake. It do not ever slow me down and I never have to worry.
Shawna W

Total package in an affordable SUV.
I love the heated leather seats options! The Microsoft sync is awesome for making cell phone use and listening to music easy. It is been super reliable. It is a spacious vehicle. Repairs have been affordable and factory parts have lasted up well. I love the color options despite not getting my preferred color since I bought it used.
Danielle D

It has extra space in the middle console.
I love my car due to the fact it is very roomy, it has heated seats & it is leather! Also it is great on gas also it comes with a lot of storage in the inside and it also has a sunroof which I love so I can enjoy the weather on warm days! My family feels very safe in this vehicle.
Danny J

The safety key feature allows setting different safety restrictions for each key
I love the special protect and safety features. Such as the volume control and the speed control. The car drives well and I haven't had any problems. The sears are comfortable however the interior is light colored so it is bad for staining or any kind of mess.
Justin B
on March 25, 2021
My vehicle and what's amazing about it and it's features
I like the reliability of it during snowing days and cold days. I love the features it has like the heated seats and floor lights. It's very comfortable and I can put the back seats down for more storage.I've had it for over two years and would love to get a newer one, the fog lights are amazing , I've never had a sub before but this one is amazing and I would keep it for as long as I could, I wouldn't want any other type of vehicle because I love Ford's and this Ford is amazing.
Sydnee S

Lots of space, reliable car, easy to drive.
I love my escape, I have had very minimal problems within the past 2 years. It is very reliable and comfortable, and gets decent gas mileage. It is easy to drive, easy to connect to Bluetooth and auxiliary, and has plenty of space for me, my husband and my two dogs. The back seats lie completely flat which is perfect for road trips or moving!
Natasha M
on March 21, 2021
My vehicle is one of a kind for me. I gives great mileage.
I have not had any major problems. I recently had my oil. I take good care of it. Last year I had my tires changed. The paint was rusting. I had it painted a while ago. Ford is always a good car manufacturer to go to. Ford is affordable and they really work with you.

Reliable, safe and nice car.

This is a family friendly vehicle.
Back seats can fold down, not all but a good third. That makes it very easy to clean and use up all the space when needed. Car has that audio jack to connect to phone, charger jack, CD accessible, radio, a/c. Decent sunroof. Great space in the back trunk. In drivers seats you have access to all windows, you can even engage a lock so passengers do not meddle with windows. You can lock/open car with remote.

My vehicle is blue and it has a sunroof.
I absolutely love my Ford Escape. I am coming from a smaller car so driving something bigger is new for me and it will help in the winter. I do not like that it isn't four wheel drive but it does have brand new all season tires on it so I will be fine. I am very happy with this vehicle.
Corey S
on March 15, 2021
Reliable. Size. Interior. Air conditioning. Power windows and locks.
My vehicle is very reliable. It has taken me many places but there are some downsides. The axles are all needing to be replaced which can get expensive. There is also a major rust problem that is on the wheel wells and the forming in the hatch of the trunk. I also see that many ford escapes from 2012 do have the same rust problem, but mostly only in the color black of the cars. Being able to have a rust protectant and to make an axle that withstands longer would be the most ideal to solve my major issues.
Craig C

Silver, SUV car, has a great sound system and is a great reliable everyday car.
I have not run into too many problems with this car. It has been very reliable, gets great gas mileage and I feel safe traveling long distances. Have taken many 5+ hour road trips in this car and the issues have been very minimal. I would highly recommend this car and would definitely look into newer versions when looking to invest in a new car.
Nicko F
on March 14, 2021
Overall reliable car with good power.
Very spacious, although it is a rough ride and the motor is very loud you can hear it through the dash it still is a reliable car. With motorized driver seat you're able to find that comfort zone. Very nice sunroof and good stock speakers with Bluetooth and CD stereo. Very comfortable cushions with high durable cloth I am not to sure what the material is called but it is also easy to clean up.

Bradley G

2012 ford escape- good until 30k miles.
This car is great in fuel economy and a solid daily driver. However, as it gained more mileage, there were many problems that came about. Engine problems and recalls were frequent. It sometimes has issues accelerating when needed. Also, it does not shift into the right gears at the right time making the ride a little jerky. In addition, driving in the snow or rain is very difficult with this car's braking and handling.
Erika W
on March 8, 2021
So glad I bought this vehicle, super reliable and meets my car driving needs.
My car drives very smooth and is very reliable. I absolutely love my vehicle and so glad I invested in it. I had an issue with the second cylinder not firing correctly when I bought it (used), but outside of that I have not had any other maintenance issues since I have had my vehicle (over a year now). She has been on road trips and many off-roading adventures and has not failed me yet. A downside is a feature called my key. You program a key and it helps keep safety features for teenage drivers. This is helpful for parents, but when I was playing around with the mykey to see what it was, it defaulted my actual key to “safe driving” settings whenever it is in the ignition (stops playing music when someone is unbuckled, does not allow me to go over a certain speed, etc). The only way to fix it is by having the master key. Unfortunately since I bought my car used I only got one set of key and would need to buy a master key to undo the process.
Kilee C

A great mini SUV, lovely to drive as well as ride in.
I really like my 2012 escape, I see lots of other people who drive them too. I think the mini SUV looks nice and it is very comfortable to drive and to ride in. I also like the hatchback, and the second row seating folds completely down so it can haul a lot at one time. I have never had any issues or complaints.
Kaila K
on March 6, 2021
There is no cap for the gas so you have to be careful.

Great Buy for a Mom with a car full of kids
Great vehicle! Have not had any real issues with it, the only problem would be the paint chipping other than that amazing. It's an awesome fit for you if you are a mother with children. My kids love it as well as my husband it's a terrific Buy!! Go out and get one

2012 ford escape: big car that is easy to drive even for small drivers.
While, it is getting a little on the older side I still love my 2012 ford escape. I got it used in around 2017. It is very spacious with lots of seating and storage space but still easy to maneuver, park, and no issues with visibility. The original battery lasted until 2019, and I have not had to do anything but preventative maintenance and some tires on it since I have had it.
Ashley A
on March 3, 2021
Family friendly and economical car. Great features and durability.
The brakes need repairs about 3 times a year but it is spacious and overall comfortable and has good mileage. It drives very smooth and it is engine is always in top shape. I love the color it came in which was a dark blue. Overall it is a great family car.

America is the way to go!
This vehicle is reliable. I have not had any major issues. It has great gas mileage, is comfortable and stylish. This was the first American car I have ever bought and I have been sold on buying American cars for now on because this vehicle has surpassed my expectations.
Victoria B

I would call it a pretty neat car. I mean, I enjoy it.
This car has lasted a long time with a little love here and there, and has finally up to 100,000 miles. Ran into a few problems with the a/c but easy fix. Has been very reliable, versatile use, enjoy interior space of vehicle. Accidentally drove through a lil flash flood but turned out fine. Lots of cup holders and interior storage. Especially enjoy that center console comes out to reveal even more storage. Able to pull trailer behind with hitch. Can carry things on top as well.
Donovan L
on March 3, 2021
One most important thing to know about my car is that it is safe for children.
What I like most about my vehicle is how it handles and is four wheel drive. I like that it's able to be used during the winter if needed. What I dislike is how small it is, I am not able to fit everything all the time.
Roxanne L

Pros and cons of owning an escape.
A few plastic pieces have broke over time and are expensive to fix including the back hatch lift which is frustrating and inconvenient. It is fairly comfortable on long drives, but could be better. Mpg is decent both in town and highway. For the size of the vehicle, I can fit a lot inside which is a major plus, especially since seats are easily put up and down. Overall, I have been happy with this vehicle.

Ford escape silver 2012!
I love how much space the trunk has in this car. & also love that I feel that my son is safe in this type of vehicle. However it is a lot of gas and I feel like we are constantly having to get the oil changed. I would recommend this car if you wanted a smaller SUV.

I like how it drives and it is comfortable and a good size SUV for me.
Navigation system needs constantly updated and poor gas mileage. Takes a long time for vehicle to warm up in winter. Minor issues need repair when I do not even use the vehicle a lot. The styling is okay but the color on bumper fades over time and lift gate hard to open.

2012 ford escape is a great car.
I haven't had any issues at all. It is got high miles but runs super smoothly. Average miles per gallon could be a little better, it is at about 21 right now, but other than that I cannot think of one complaint. The sound system is incredible. It is smooth and easy to operate.

You will love my ford escape.
It is leather and super roomy. It has dual controls so passengers can be in control of their own temperature. It is a nice ride too. The sound system is pretty good as far as factory goes. It also has a reverse camera that is super handy and I love having it.

It is comfortable and gets fairly good gas mileage. It sits up so short people like me can see the road.
I like the size it is not too big or too small. I like the fact I can haul my crafting in the back without being squeezed. It is great for taking a trip.

Good family vehicle for 4
Doesn't have AWD or 4WD..other than that, it's a good family vehicle with good gas mileage. The coolant has a leak which isn't good, so it gets really hot in the summer. It has traveled a lot and is always reliable however. It fits a family of 4, but too small to add another person

Perfect starter family vehicle!
I absolutely love my escape. It drives & rides so smoothly. The radio system is great. There is a lot of space in the trunk & the seats can fold down if we need more. I drive this thing everywhere! We've never had any real problems with it. We love it!

We like the SUV very much.
The SUV is a very good size for me and my wife. It has a little problem, it will start losing power and snacks we have to shut it off wait about 1 minute then start it back up and it will run real good for a long time. I took it in and they could not find anything wrong with it.

I really love my remote start esp. In the window and it melts my windows ice.
I really enjoy my ford escape. It has everything in it that I wanted. It has heated seats. And remote start it is very comfortable and good for travel. Gas mileage has always been good and I am glad I bought it. I have always wanted and escape and my next one will be a hybrid. I like my heated mirrors and being able to control heated windows also.

Design flaws for 2012 ford escape.
Have to take off headrests in backseat in order to fold the seats down. The windows in the back do no completely do down by their design. The eco engine is good on gas, and uses all the various fuel types. The bucket seats in the front are not comfortable to your back. Gas cannot be added to the tank without the special insert to allow the gas tank insertion flap to open. The car has design flaws that could have been built smarter in order to optimize its functionality.

It has four wheel drive and heated seats.
It has been fairly reliable no major problems however my air conditioning just went out and it is going to be an expensive fix. It is very comfortable as a good sound system and drives well.

Best SUV for price and amenities!
This is my first small SUV and I have loved it. Performance is great whether in the city, on highway, or backroads. Has been reliable for a long time. Any problems have been minor maintenance issues, which were easily fixed. Interior design is great. I love how the back seats fold down to accommodate extra space when transporting items. I would purchase this again.

My ford experience... Or so I think
This vehicle at times can be a big gas guzzlers. I can maybe $10 and 2 days later my gas is gone. Although it does drive nicely it can make a lot of noise. If you go over too many bumps it can start to feel as wear and tear. My steering wheel feels loose, my tire pressure gauge is reading incorrectly. But in the positives it is a smooth & nice clean feel to it. Very nice features for the year. Easy to keep clean

Ford escape 2012: comfort, a review, and a recommendation.
My ford escape is pretty big. When I am going on trips with my friends, it fits all of us perfectly! I’d recommend this car for people with families. It is not exactly the speediest car, but it gets us where we have to go. It is quite comfortable in my opinion. A couple of my friends think it is decent in terms of comfort. Overall, I would recommend this car to anybody!

Hands free technology and storage room perfect for college students.
Pre-owned car: problems: engine light occasions comes on when car starts but restarting car solves that and sometimes says parking brake is on when not. No big problems so far. Otherwise very comfortable and great for trips with multiple people with good fuel economy. Only wish is heated seats had more than one heat level.

Great reliable, midsize vehicle
My car is extremely reliable. It drives well in the city and on highways. It's a good midsize car with a lot of trunk space. I use the Bluetooth and seat heaters more than any other feature in the car. One negative is that it does not have four wheel drive so driving in the snow can be difficult at times.

Great reliable car for whatever you need!
I have never had any issues with car. From driving back and forth to work everyday or driving up into the mountains it is always been reliable. The most money I have had to put into this car was when I got my tires changed. Best car I have ever owned.
