        Great SUV

        by TucsonC on 4/28/2026 7:31:49 PM

        Bought my car brand new February 2023. It’s a 2022 model sports package. Love the way it handles. rarely uses gas as I do mostly in town errands. Smaller than my previous Non plug-in Ford Escape, but actually like it that way. Backseat does fold down and plenty of rear cargo room.

        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.
