We bought a used 2011 Ford Escape with a lifetime transmission and engine warranty through our local dealer. The car had been used a an Enterprise rental car and only had about 20,000 miles and was in good condition except for some minor paint chips on the back by the tail lights. It's compact and all wheel drive. We originally got it when we were a family of 4 and there is plenty of room. I really have no cons about it because we have had no trouble with the car what so ever and are at almost 100,000 miles.

I really enjoy the comfort provided by this vehicle. The Sync system works great. My iPhone connects and Apple Carplay works flawlessly. The heated seats and steering wheel are nice in the winter. I love the remote start and the ability to start the vehicle from my phone so I don't have to be in range of the key fob. I wish it had cooled seats. It has plenty of room for all my needs, but I could see where a larger family wouldn't fit as well. The moonroof and sunroof are just an added bonus. The EcoBoost engine is nice for driving around and having enough acceleration for when you need it.
