2005 Ford Escape

This has to be the most exciting and practical vehicle I have driven to date, and I have had many. I love the bold, flowing design, aggressive front end, and the interior space of a vehicle that is no longer than a Focus wagon. For my purpose, it easily accommodates my wife, 6'2" son, mother-in-law and large dog. When I need to make a trip to Home Depot, the rear seat folds flat to allow me incredible space. It has plenty of power for those rare times you want to quickly pass someone on a two-lane highway, it has great steering response, maneuverability and agility. The 4x4 system in the new 2005 responds instantaneously when required, and performs superbly under severe winter conditions. What a great vehicle!
