It grew on me, not originally the vehicle of my dreams
I got this vehicle as the result of a Cash for Clunkers program in 2008. There were a limited amount of models with the approved equipment that fit the trade matrix. This was one of them. My Escape is a 2 wheel, front drive, it has a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder gas engine, automatic transmission. The trim level is XLT with leather seating upgrades. I have purposed this vehicle secondarily as a work commuter with a nine mile country and city drive to work and amazingly the same distance home. The real purpose was to allow me to travel across four states to look after my Mother. It made that journey several times until Mom came to our home to live. The little Escape provided Mom with miles and miles of local sightseeing, a break for her, out of the house. When Mom died, the vehicle took on the "Grocery Getter" purpose as I was long retired. It is what my wife prefers to drive. She thinks it is peppy around town, has that SUV convenience for bulky items, nimble and easy to use when space gets tight. It made the EPA mileage marks most of the time and had a pretty good ride. This vehicle is too useful to us to trade. Sure I would like some of the later technology, but this will do. Its a keeper.
