 My husband and I have traveled some fun retirement miles in our Escape Limited.  I love the heated leather seats.  We are ready to make the big switch to the hybrid. Gas prices are awful and I hear really good things about this Escape. The car is loaded and very comfortable on our long trips. The only remotely negative feature is the stiff bumpy ride and it's a little too noisy.  But, I wouldn't trade it for any other SUV.
