I have to write... I work for Avis. I've driven every vehicle you can imagine from a Kia Rio to a Benz. The one vehicle that is all around best imho, is the Ford Escape. The 2.0 is quick, the ride is just firm enough - but not harsh, the transmission is so smooth - you'll never feel it shift - if you drive like a normal person. Steering is quick and responsive. Gages very well laid out - fit and finish A+. My favorite is the Titanium Edition. The HUGE sunroof is just awesome - drive 70 mph with it open and carry on a normal convo, the foot activated liftgate is a blessing with full hands, cargo space is great with the back seats down - it fits my mountain bike no issue. Visibility while driving? A+. The Sony amp sound system is SOO good, climate control has so many different settings to suit anyone... and hey - that remote start? It allows you to keep your heated seats on so they are nice and toasty for your buns! And here's the best part... reliability. Of all the cars we rent - the Escape NEVER has ANY issues! Soo... Thanks Ford... I bought one! 1986: "Quality is Job 1." I can see you still live up to that motto! =)
+xHorizontal.Gamingx Studios It can't unfortunately because American cars really don't have a reputation for longevity, however overall American car manufacturers have made massive improvements in the industry and are closing the gap between American, German and Japanese engineering. All that being said, I work for Enterprise car rental and we have the Ford Escape Titanium. It is a fantastic driving experience for the price.

@@LplusRatioplusNobodyCares Yeah it is, but I've had a ford escape 2015 model I've only had 1 problem in the last 6 years and it was the transmission (it's a manual cvt if that helps) but other then that the car has been absolutely excellent. Great fuel mileage and great reliability the seats are comfortable and so many features for less than a 30 thousand dollar car! Would totally recommend.
I'm looking at one of these right now. Same colour and trim. Km's seem a little high for the year at just shy of 97k. But, at $18,000 (minus taxes and fees), it is very appealing. My '07 Edge is just not cutting it anymore. And what the newer Escapes bring to the table will suit me just fine.
In the length of time it takes that Active Park Assist to finish, I'd already be in the house. Which is why I bypassed that option on my MKZ. Too many "Driver's Aids" on these cars make us too dependent on them and forget how to do it ourselves.
Sync 3 is miles ahead of MFT, but one thing's for sure, it's just as hard to use. Ford still sticks some of their infotainment displays deep in the dash, which means you have to torture your wrist to get to where you want.
Is this the dude from MPG-omatic? Can't tell without the hat!! Is that still around? I used to love those reviews, focused on things no one else really cared to.
5:43.......you hear that boys? She'll take at least 5 fingers in the back seat but if you ease her all the way back you can fit over 7.............Now THAT'S my kinda girl.🤣🤣🤣

What is your opinion on Toyota rav4?
Rav4 hybrid that is.
American engineering has made a comeback! This is a nice car.
It's a nice car alright but can it really beat the CR-V though

Thank you!!!
So the way it looks, this is my next vehicle and my 1st purchase. I wanted a truck but things change. No lie tho, this is a very nice SUV.
A proper review....thanks Dan.
Apparently, the 2015 Ford Escape had the fewest problems related to initial quality in the JD Power survey of crossovers.
runforit420 JD power is a scam

My neighbor just bought the same vehicle and after 3000 miles loves it
+E Meyer I'm at 76K, and it's still running great. '13 FE SE, AWD w Ecoboost
Neighbor now over 10K and no problems.I tried one on for size in 13' but it was a little too small for me.

Man, I miss those Jersey back roads!

How economical is in gas consumption?
Do the rear passenger shock mounts rust off the body in this model too?
Hey Dan, I'd pick your S2000 over the Escape any day. Anyways, great review as always!
Sync 3 seems to have addressed the biggest issue with the otherwise great package. Deserving of a second look.
Is it quiet on the freeway? Road noise at a minimum? As quiet as a Hyundai Tucson? I want to give up my earplugs.

I received this exact model in white and I love it
How are you still enjoying it? I'm actually looking at one at Carmax that's white!!
Is that Park Assist available on the SE trim level or is it just limited to the Titanium?

+FasterThanSoup Yes it is, you can still see Dan on his MPG O'Matic TH-cam Channel. Thanks for watching

I am simply not a fan of this reviewer. He should have stayed with Mpgomatic, or whatever their name was.
