The Escape Hybrid is a great rugged MPG crossover machine. New York taxi cab drivers prefer it because they are getting 30 MPG in city driving with it!

Replying to: loach (Mar 26, 2009 9:06 am) The only reason we Freestyle/TaurusX owners like it is because we have experience with it directly and we've already compared crossovers. You obviously have no experience with the Freestyle/TaurusX. Your ignorance is understandable, since Ford has never really advertised the thing much. Flex and Edge got lots of flashy ads. Maybe you should just get the vehicle with the most flashy ads, since you don't seem to recognize substance over glitz. You really just need to read lots of car reviews by experts. Its kind of like leaving skin disease to a dermatologist. If you're not an engineer, an auto company will, and often has, sold people substandard vehicles. Like a lot of people, you shouldn't try to pick a vehicle yourself, if you care about getting it right.

Replying to: coldcranker (Mar 26, 2009 11:11 am) The original title of the thread 6800 posts ago is completely irrelevant. I did a search on "Crossover" and this is what came up. Don't like it? Talk to the moderator but it's clear this is a very broad thread. You're just trying to drive me off it because I don't have your favorite wagon on your short list. The only reason we Freestyle/TaurusX owners like it is because we have experience with it directly and we've already compared crossovers. You obviously have no experience with the Freestyle/TaurusX. Your ignorance is understandable, since Ford has never really advertised the thing much. Flex and Edge got lots of flashy ads. Maybe you should just get the vehicle with the most flashy ads, since you don't seem to recognize substance over glitz. The Freestyle was one of 4 vehicles I test drove when I bought my Acadia (Acadia, Outlook, CX-9 and Freestyle), so don't tell me I have no experience with it. I actually liked it - it just wasn't my top choice. I don't want it. Get over it. You really just need to read lots of car reviews by experts. Its kind of like leaving skin disease to a dermatologist. If you're not an engineer, an auto company will, and often has, sold people substandard vehicles. Like a lot of people, you shouldn't try to pick a vehicle yourself, if you care about getting it right. Not sure why you're directing that at me. I do read a lot of car reviews when I'm shopping, but I would never let any "expert" pick out my vehicle. Instead I use them as tools to help narrow the field and identify vehicles I should drive.
