The Escape has been the best car I have ever had. I love that I have enough Head and Leg room in the car, I am 6'7" so this is really important. The bummer is the Engine got a cracked cylinder when I hit 27,000 miles. I got a new one under warrenty and had my car back in a week, and the dealership was great to work with.
I am going to be getting a new Escape Hybrid because of the postive experence I have had with my current Escape. Its great if you play alot of sports as well. I dont even need to take the wheels off my bike to fit it in the back when I put the seats down.

Awesome vehicle.
