2013 Ford Escape - Not Quiet Convinced
I saw the ads for this car over and over again, so that is what piqued my interest. The commercials made it seem like it was a smart investment. While it hasn't treated me as bad as my Charger did, I still do not think this is the car for me. The problem I had with the Charger was that it was expensive to fix anything, and they made the car so sophisticated that it was overwhelming keeping up with all the issues that were causing other issues that only the dealership could figure out. The price for parts and labor aren't very bad for the Escape, but I have had to replace the same two parts three times.

Even though I am saving money by not going to the dealership, I am shelling out money for the same issue. Plus, even when I first got the car, it did ride smooth, but had a slow acceleration rate. It takes a while to get up to speed when getting on the interstate. With my Charger, I could accelerate very fast, very quickly and by having the Escape, it makes that stand out in my mind even more. I was in the frame of mind that Ford has come a long way with cars, but with the Escape, I am not so sure.
My son and I drove down to the ocean front in Virginia Beach, and we had the car parked all day waiting on the fireworks. We had to go the car for my son's asthma inhaler, and the fire works stared before we even made it to the car. We decided to lay on the roof of the car and watch the fireworks. It was like laying under the stars but more explosive, of course.

Parts are inexpensive. Do not need to go to dealership to get car repaired, if you have a good mechanic.

Slow acceleration, fixing same parts multiple time, and more hype than the car actually delivers.
