My 2010 Ford Escape has been such a great vehicle. It had one owner when I purchased it with very few miles. Now, it has over 125k miles and runs like a champ. Have had no mechanical issues so far, but I have taken the car in regularly for scheduled maintenance and do my best to ensure I go to reputable mechanics. I like that it's roomy and lets a lot of light in. The interior also just "makes sense" to me in terms of functionality. Practical placement of storage, outlets, and other items that I have noticed other cars (particularly from that year) don't have.

I wouldn't have bought this vehicle if I hadn't already owned another Escape for the past 5 years. Wasn't fond of the new body style that came out in 2013 so I'm glad I was able to find a 2012 with super low miles and a nearly perfect appearance. Quick to accelerate, easy to navigate, and it loves to get muddy. Integrated Sirius/XM satellite, Bluetooth, and hands free calling make it an even better steal.
