I am very happy with my Escape. It is a very cozy vehicle and great on gas. I use it primarily for city driving but have had several opportunities to take it on the road outside of province. I have not had any trouble at all with this vehicle. I love the little extras as well. Heated seats are my favourite. The space is quite nice. I have had to transport tables, chairs and luggage with no problems. Visibility is wonderful, drives smooth. Great car if your shopping for your first vehicle. Or any time you are shopping for a vehicle.
