(11,932 posts)I'm ecstatic about my 2010.
I prefer the height on this vehicle since my previous vehicle (2003 Grand Prix) was so close to the ground that it physically hurt my back getting in and out of it. My Escape doesn't physically hurt me to get in and out of. I don't have any issues with cornering or punching the accelerator. I'm going to assume that you were talking about the AWD?
Fortunately, I don't have leather seats. Although, I always take my seat covers and Goodyear floor mats with me to my next vehicle.
I like how much room that I have in it. I can fit my now vintage Igloo cooler in the back of my vehicle. I have plenty of room for luggage and to help people move residencies. It was frustrating when I found out that my Igloo cooler couldn't fit in the trunk of my Grand Prix when I purchased it. I have serious doubts that I'll ever purchase a non-SUV of vehicle again.
Between this vehicle and my tires, it gets me everywhere I need to go in snowy conditions. And unlike my previous vehicle, everything on it so far is repairable and there's no gas leak.
My only complaints is:
1. I wish I had discovered this vehicle when it was brand new so that it was a one-owner.
2. It rusts way too easily.
