I cannot say enough good things about the Ford escape. When I first looked at this car, it was shortly after I had been in a head on collision. I liked this vehicles safety rating, and sleek design. As soon as I test drove it, I knew it was the one for me! The fact that it was my first smart car kind of leaves me biased. Everything is Bluetooth enabled and works seamlessly with my smart phone. It also allowed me to upload all of my CDs into a mobile memory bank, which I didn’t even know I needed! The mileage is fantastic, and it’s the smoothest ride I’ve ever driven. I do wish that I got in a different color than gray, and I really don’t enjoy the safety parameters(speed and seatbelt) that are on as a factory protocol.
