2012 Ford Escape User Reviews

Pros

Great city fuel MPG

Cons

NONE

Purchased As New

I traded my Ford Fusion in for a 2012 Ford Escape. I like the Escape over the Fusion because I sit up higher & can see whats going on much better. My Fusion was getting 27.5 MPG & my new Escape is getting 25.5 MPG in the city of Fort Myers, Florida. Also the Escape is built in Kansas City USA.

Pros

Fuel mileage is good.

Cons

Engine noise.

Purchased As New

Lots of zip for a 4 cylinder. Six speed transmission shifts well. Good fuel economy. Like how seats fold down in back. Sporty looking on road. Have to use sun visor most of the time as there appears to be too much dash glare from the dash. Seats not that comfortable and cup holders are awkward for driver to access. Engine noise is excessive....read morehide

Pros

Super cheap to fill up, considering it's an SUV

Cons

None that I can think of!

Purchased As New

I love this car! From the heated seats to the back camera, this car is perfect. My mom and I were in a bad accident last year that should have been fatal for the both of us, but this car is so sturdy, it saved us both. It was totaled, but we went back and got the same car!

Purchased As Used

I purchased it as a certified used car. It was so plum that it was on the showroom floor and I said " that's the one for me". It was a corporate vehicle so you know it was well taken care of and only two years old when I purchased it. Low mileage. Luv it. Its great in the snow and has great lines. Looking to turn in for a newer one!!!...read morehide

Pros

gas mileage is great

Cons

outside noise on highway could be heard

Purchased As New

i luv this suv, roomy, seats flip flat and has a rear cover that blocks sunlight, radio controls on steering wheel, phone controls on steering wheel, street by street turning info via audio is a great feature

Pros

Roomy, reliable, and very easy to drive

Cons

Folding down rear seats is a struggle

Purchased As New

This is my 3rd consecutive Escape and I've yet to find anything better for the price. It could be a bit more sleek and be a little quicker but overall this is a great vehicle priced very reasonably. You won't find a better compact SUV.

Pros

styling, room, mpg, ride

Cons

black interior

Purchased As New

Best vehicle that I have ever purchased. 23mpg in city, 32-33 mpg on open road. Ride is great, driver side power seat is a plus as the rear view mirror' s anti reflection. All instruments are within easy range. I have no problems with this vehicle. All I want, All I need.

Pros

Tough, Capable Suv

Cons

Tight in back seats, basically overworked fusion engine, 22 MPG

Purchased As Not Purchased

Good overall car. A little late on power (and sounds kind of like a weed-eater when you press it hard) but is a fine overall car. If you are looking for just space, then this is almost the same as the fusion. 22 MPG isn't for hyper-milers. I rented this for a few days and wouldn't mind doing again....read morehide

Pros

My wife's limited front wheel drive V6 gets 29 mpg on the highway and 22 in town.

Cons

transmission when cold at first startup will not shift with out surging.

Purchased As New

We traded a 2003 GMC Envoy one of the best trucks that we ever owned in on this Escape. My wife wanted a more compact SUV that had better driver vision to the back and sides and a newer vehicle. After enjoying the comforts of the GMC and going to her Escape Limited we are very impressed with the comfort, ride, power and gas millage. the fit and finish is outstanding.I would recommend this vehicle to my brother....read morehide
