All the dealer add ons (window tint, door edge guards, seating surface protection), maintenance for life (I will complete oil change # 60 this weekend on my Grand Marquis), an extended warranty that covers our driving pattern (20k a year, but will go down), drive it up to Edge price territory, but when added to an Edge push me past what I want to spend on two vehicles. I have to get another car for my daughter, and since she doesn't live at home (away at college), I don't want to put her in an older car so I don't get the 10 am calls about loud noise and oil on the ground, I might consider a 3 year lease for her, and if she wants to keep it she can assume the buy out off lease, and save up while it is leased by us. Lease doesn't fit our lifestyle (20k a year, keep car for 10+ (really 20ish) years), but who knows where she will end up after college (not at home!). Fiesta seems a little toylike so minimum would be a Focus.
I did finance it as to not drain the bank account to an uncomfortable level, but 36 month terms mean I pay an additional 550 bucks, worth it but might pay it off early.
Still not happy with the amount of road noise, and auto stop-start at lights is odd when in a left turn lane and creep into the intersection, the start from your phone thing is s-l-o-w to do anything, still can't test the locate car functionality as it is blocked for 24 hours for good reason. Bluetooth sound is delayed a full second (watching netflix while stopped waiting for my son), I might try adding a bluetooth dongle to one of the USB ports.

The roads are starting to clean up very nicely here. The sweepers have been out in spots and I haven't really came across any salty remnants. I played a few times already myself but not too much. All of the local stations I have tested are coming in at E70. Bobby n Steves in eden prarie is good though at 85%.

They must have already had a "steve."... of course you are...
I was starting to put 2 and 2 together.
I probably will never be sold on the Escape, and will probably continue to give my personal opinions on it, but I plan on some upgrades and stuff to personalize it for us. I know it won't last as long or as many miles as my Grand Marquis, but to listen to the dealership folks, salesmen, and how it is a 1000 times better car than what I am already driving, was kinda fun to listen to for awhile. Then drive home in a quiet nice riding and weak performing vehicle that was much quicker than the Escape made me plan on the things I need to fix in it to keep it going.
Yea, i grabbed "Steve" here about 20 years ago LOLThey must have already had a "steve."
It server our purpose for my wife to get our kids around and for shopping. We also got the 2L EB engine with AWD. The AWD gets up our hill in the winter with snow. I drive it now and then but i prefer my Flex a whole lot more. More power, more room, nicer ride, etc.

Actually it's a 2" drop flipped on there now. Been looking at some $80 helper bags on Amazon and some KYB shocks to go with. Figured I can just use one of my spare Mark VIII air ride compressors to adjust the height.
This is my first time towing with trailer brakes, big difference. Already looking at some LED lighting for the interior too.
