My vehicle is a 2015 Ford Escape. I am in love with this car it is my first brand new car that I have ever leased. I used it to drive across country which put over 2,000 miles on it. It has great traction on the tires that helped me get through the mountains and all the curves in the high elevation. It also was a nice smooth ride even on the bumpiest roads. The best thing that I liked is that it has the cloth seats. Where I live now which is in Las Vegas it gets pretty hot and they stay much cooler than leather seats would in the sun. I also love using the back up camera. It is very helpful when pulling out of small parking spaces so I can see how close I am to the cars behind me. The quality of this model of car is pretty good. It also has an upgrade package that you can purchase but I didn't have the kind of money to fork out at that time. If I did I would have purchased it because it is high quality and has more gadgets in the car. The body and style of the car is amazing and makes it look not like a mini van but like and awesome mom car.

What I like about the car is that it is very reliable. I purchased it used at 120,000 miles three years ago and have since put over 18,000. I use it to deliver pizza, and it has never given me any issues. I have gotten the oil changed a couple times despite the fact that it when I checked the oil it seemed full. I'd still go get it changed because it was several thousand miles over due and multiple months. Every time they told me that they only filled about .5 quarts and that the oil was still in great condition. I love that it is not an oil hog. It also drives very well in the snow. The air conditioning and heater also work fantastic. Lastly, although it is a compact SUV, it is very spacious. I am a musician with a lot of gear and being able to put the back seats down has allowed me to take every thing I've ever needed with me to wherever I go. What I don't like about the car is that it is a gas hog. I probably get about 13-15 mpg despite what it says online. In addition, the car is not super comfortable. Long drives can leave my back aching a little bit, but at 23 years old, that is not much a problem for me. Additionally, the car does not have great acceleration. I've taken it up to about 90mph, and it was struggling a bit, but just to get the car to 60mph is a bit of a struggle. Not one that ever concerns me, but when I have to accelerate up a hill, it does take its time.
