This vehicle sucks for a family. Needs repairs constantly and passenger area is cramped. Only good for groceries.

When my wife and I retired we traded in our two paid for vehicles and got a Subaru Outback. We had driven one at a trade show and we needed an all wheel drive vehicle for the area into which we moved. We loved the vehicle for the 3 years we had it leased. When the lease was up, our daughter recommended we go shopping at the Ford Dealer two towns over. We went there and the dealer treated us wonderfully and he had an on demand four wheel drive Ford Escape in the color we wanted. He sold it to us at invoice and arranged special financing at 0.99%, The Escape is only missing one or two features that were on the Outback (moonroof - which we found out we had only used twice) and a few other odds and ends - no passenger power seat. The vehicle is very quite and well finished. We love it!
