It is surprisingly fun to drive. It handles similar to a car instead of a top heavy SUV. The car has leather seats, navigation, satellite radio. It features a panoramic sunroof with privacy glass. The car features seat warmers and memory seating. The back seat is a split folding seat to give you more cargo space if needed. The Escape SEL has great acceleration given that it is a 4 cylinder, but perhaps that has to do with the 4 cylinder eco boost engine.

I think the car is greatly built. We currently have 50,000 miles and have not ran into any issues. The MPG has been amazing. I love having a SUV that doesn't cost an arm and a leg every time at the gas pump. We use this car to travel across a few states every few months and there's plenty of room for a family of 4. It travels smoothly every trip. The back of the car has worked perfect for transporting 3 dogs!
