After extensive review of vehicles available with similar size and features, the 2010 Ford Escape proved to be one of the most competitively priced vehicles matching my vehicle needs. There are multiple options available from many manufacturers for those who prefer the smaller crossover design rather than the behemoth SUV models on the show room floor.

This is an excellent car for my lifestyle. I am a graduate student, so most of my driving consists of suburban driving to and from university and around town to meet students that I tutor, and this vehicle gets great gas mileage in the city and is relatively low maintenance. I got the car with more than 100,000 miles already on it, and it still drives like new. I participate in triathlons and the body style is very compatible with the bike rack that I use to transport my bike to races. The body style is very nice and does not look dated. This is a vehicle that I am very proud to own.
