 Been shopping for a small SUV for quite some time.  Had a 2005 Ford Escape XLT and sold with 128,000 miles.  Was excellent vehicle and had only regular maintenance, and no major repairs.  After looking at what the current market has available (Honda Pilot, Toyota, GMC, Dodge and GM) and tested, kept coming back to the Escape. My main concern was no available  V6, only the inline 1.6 or 2.0 with turbo.  I worried about having to always run high rpm's and wasn't sure about engine longevity.  After driving the Titanium with optional 2.0 L, Package 301 and navigation system a few times, I was completely sold on the 4 cylinder.  Has great power, turbo is smooth and rpm's are surprisingly low.  Comfortable ride and the new Sync3 is reasonably easy to learn.  Fit and finish is also excellent. I did not opt for the 19" wheels, just the standard 18".  Have read a few reviews that the 19" wheels made for a bit of a rougher ride.  I did not test drive any that had the 19".  With 240hp rating, it's much faster than my 2005 V6 was.  I also have the class II towing package, rated at 3,500 lbs.  At this time, I don't have anything near that range, so assuming it won't be a problem.  Have also seen that various auto reviews have been very good.  Hoping  the reliability factor will meet with what I had on the 2005.  Now have 12,650 miles as of May 16, 2018 and have had absolutely zero problems with the vehicle.  Everything works like it is supposed to and love it as much as the day I purchased it. No rattles or decrease in power.  Still ecstatic after almost 3 years!
