2011 Ford Escape - Not worth the money

I purchased my vehicle brand new in July of 2011. It was my first brand new vehicle. I loved it until the next month when I was on the interstate in traffic. It was August so I of course had the air conditioning on. After sitting in traffic for about 5 minutes I noticed that every time I pushed on the gas pedal the transmission would jerk. It did this for the next 20 minutes I was in traffic. I took the car in for service and was told that nothing was wrong with it.

Story

Driving around in the summer with my sunroof open and my music up!

Pros

Nice body style and I love all of the included options with the limited edition.

Cons

It doesn't have a button to pop the hatch. You can only pop it from the handle. No back seat air vents.

2011 Ford Escape - A comfortable, reliable car.

Story

My boyfriend and I drove this car to a cabin in the mountains at Christmas time. Snow flurries came in one night and a lot of cars got stuck at the bottom of the mountain or partway up. My Ford Escape easily made it up the mountain, and back down in the morning.

Pros

Interior design: lots of cup holders, plenty of space in the seats, comfortable seats, easy to use dashboard. Exterior: it is just a nice looking car in general. Functionality: it feels very safe, easy to put a car seat in the backseat, can haul trailers; it does an outstanding job driving in the snow.

Cons

Some minor kinks: occasional whistling noise when driving on the interstate (no idea what it is), air conditioner recently stopped working, but was repaired, typical tune up issues.
