Hello everyone! I recently traded in my 2022 Jeep Compass Latitude LUX for a 2023 Ford Escape ST‑Line Elite with just 3.5K miles. I’ve only had it for less than a day, but so far I’m absolutely loving it. I bought it in North Carolina and drove it back to Georgia, and on mostly highway driving in ECO mode, I averaged 34 MPG, which really impressed me.
While I liked the Compass overall, the 177‑horsepower engine felt pretty lethargic, and fuel efficiency wasn’t great for a compact SUV. The Escape feels much more responsive and comfortable for longer drives. Looking forward to many road trips ahead!

Any other ST‑Line Elite owners here—how has your experience been so far, and are there any tips or features I should know about?
