we have had about 6 escapes in a row now. We recently had a 2011 and a 2017 at the same time. The different between 2011 to 2017 was like an old pickup to a nice car. now the 2020 escape is that much nicer then the 2017 escape. Its definitely the quietest escape we have ever owned. the 2017 escape titanium with 2.0 was traded on the 2020 escape hybrid. 1 week later the 2011 escape limited was traded on a 2018 Cmax SE

well the Energi sold before I could get there, as well as several other Hybrids I wanted to look at. But local dealer had a 2018 One owner with 32K miles. still has some bumper to bumper warranty left on it. Priced right so we bought it. thanks for the help everyone. I might problem have some more questions in the future :). Already getting over 2x the MPG of that 2011 escape and it rides a whole lot better, and quieter.

When we picking up my Wife's new Escape titanium Hybrid I saw a 2015 C-max Energi SEL. 36K miles. Asking $12.5K. I have been looking to downsize the 2011 Escape (and have been looking at new small Jap. car that runs around $15K) One side of me is interested in this used car, the other side says RUN. But where am I going to get what this vehicle offered in interior and accessories for this money (its lost more than 1/2 its value in 5 years). I know its out of warranty accept that "covers hybrid electrical components" which has 3 more year left on it. I drive maybe 7000 miles per year. when I do drive its trips to the airport, 40 miles down a 70mph road so I am not buying this as an electric vehicle. I would probably only run it as Hybrid and never charge it (I hear the batteries last longer that way?). Anyway I hear to expect the trans to be good for 100K miles, after that you might run into bearing problems. I have read complaints about Hybrid battery loosing capacity for those that plug these in. I have read complaints about 12V batteries going bad. They also have several not Energi C-max and fusions. My big concern is am I buying something that I can't get rid of 5 years down the road. has anybody ever had one HV batteries replaced by Ford under the Hybrid warranty? thanks for your time and sharing your knowledge.
