This car is great. Not only is it reliable (240k miles and going strong!) but there's a ton of space in this thing. The back seats fold down to create extra surface area, which is great for transporting things that are long or bulky. The racks on the top are especially handy for hauling things that perhaps will not fit inside of the car (Christmas tree, anyone?) This car has served me incredibly well. It's taken me on more road-trips than I can even begin to recall. If I had the choice to go back and purchase a different car, I wouldn't. I love this car like it's family.

I actually won this vehicle in a sweepstakes, so I get a lot of questions about the winning process not really the car I choose. After learning I won a Ford vehicle of my choice (up to $30,000), I did a great deal of research on what would be my best option without leaving 'money on the table,' and I decided on the Escape. It's a crossover SUV that's not too big or too little. It was roughly the same size of the vehicle I was currently driving. Had the better package for the money I had to spend. Great safety features and a leather/cloth seat hybrid I really thought to be ideal with my kids. The Escape also has some great get up and go when driving on the highway or any road; she can move when I need to get out of the way.
