    New Family car

    We just picked up a 2015 Escape. I know there are some Escape haters on here but I really like it.

    Looks nice. Those things are pretty roomy inside and they have some get up and go to them. I'm driving one around while my ride is in for warranty work.

    Here are some interior pics. As far as the other goodies - it has the 2.0 EB (240 hp), AWD, and the touch screen with the Sync. It is areally nice little package. I like it WAY better than the Edge we traded in. The Edge was a heavy SUV with a terrible ride and AWFUL brakes.

    I rented an EcoBoost Fusion in Kansas City earlier this month and it was a great little car. Really nice motor.

    Well, after 6 months of owning this car I would have to give it an A+++. It so nice and smooth, zero problems and is getting 21 mpg in the city and about 27 on the highway. I am very happy with my purchase. I can't wait to see how it goes in the snow!

    Like a Beast with good winter tires! I picked up 17" steel wheels for ours from tire rack I think or discount tire and a set of Hankook Winter Ipikes. I didn't opt for the tire sensors so the light comes on but it's no big deal. uploadfromtaptalk1443421462627.jpg

    That picture depresses me. It looks cold and the car is filthy.

    It sucks knowing it's on it way. I also plastidip the front so it doesn't get chipped to hell. It does look better not in zombie killing mode though. I coated it with sonax Polymer Netshield a couple months ago. We will see how it holds up this winter. uploadfromtaptalk1443480362841.jpguploadfromtaptalk1443480362841.jpg

    The plastidip is a good idea. I might steal your idea.

    Use at least ten coats. If you use spray cans buy a couple of these.
    https://www.dipyourcar.com/Dip-Nozzle.html They spray wider and with more product.
    And one of these. It makes it much easier. No hand cramping.
