Yeah although I daily drive the Mustang, my wife starts working here in the US soon, so we figured a sensible second car is in order.

We looked at Hyundai Santa Fes (had one as rental once, kinda liked it), Mazda CX7, BMW X3, Honda CRV, that sort of stuff.
We were looking mainly for space and fuel economy, while not spending a whole lot on the car itself.
The Escape just fit our requirements the best, so we went and bought one!

It's a 2010 XLT, with the 2,5l I4. 6speed autotranny and FWD. Gets 28mpg on my commute, 30s on the highway are absolutely possible. Steering wheel controls and electric seats are pretty much the only extras. Sadly no sync, it wasn't doable in the budget. I fitted my garmin satnav and belkin bluetooth, so it's not really tragic.

Here it is in all it's glory (need to get rid of that front licence plate holder...):



Interior is in fabulous shape, that was the main reason for that particular car. Real clean!



Lots of cargo space!




And of course,

Good news! Adding the escape to my insurance makes the mustang $200 cheaper on my 6 month pay period :)
Win win!
