Reliable and Drives lika car
By Bernie | on 12/7/2025 10:57:11 PM
My Ford Escape is reliable and gets good mileage. I like driving this car because it drives like a car. I would buy an Escape again if only Ford did not stop production of this car.… - 4.0
Great car
By Tedj | on 8/20/2025 4:47:27 PM
We have had our escape hybrid 5 years. I tell my friends you get free oil changes, tires and brake work for the life of the car. That's how much the savings in fuel amounts too! We drive 10,000 miles a year which add to the savings. The seats could be softer and ride smoother otherwise a great car!… - 5.0
