We bought this Escape from Hathaway Ford,Amherst,N.S.It was one of the best car buying experience ever. After we took delivery of the vehicle, we did not have to return to the dealer until the first scheduled maintenance. except for one Ford triggered recall for transmission function, no other service or repairs have been required.The thing has been flawless, no rattles,squeaks,no hesitation. Never had a new car that was so good, out of the gate. It is a modest XLT, 2.5 L 4 banger with ample power, it's spacious, and reasonably comfortable, it tracks and handles nicely at any speed. Way to Go Ford.
