 My employer purchased a fleet of escapes as patrol vehicles.  Seats are garbage, shape of it hurts the lower back, can't sit like a normal human.  Not enough space between door and center console to sit without my equipment on, let alone with a full rig.  Feels like I'm sitting on concrete.  Armrests are non existent.  Need to have the window down in winter to have somewhere for my arm.  Fuel economy?  8mpg.  Had the car 3 months, spent half it's life being repaired.  Stay away.  Get a Toyota!
