I realized, out of the blue, that my expectations of what a Ford Escape was seemed to be way off base.
#2015 FORD ESCAPE SE AWD HOW TO#
Never mind the fact that I learned how to drive in Michigan – it had been years since I’ve driven in extreme winter conditions like this, and I’m man enough to admit that I would need all the help I could get this evening.įeeling relieved to have scored an AWD “truck”, we trekked on out to the parking garage to claim our steed. The truth is that it looked nasty outside and I was feeling a bit nervous about driving in the snow. The snow falling outside the window certainly helped to seal the deal, and I had already made the decision to upgrade to an AWD SUV even before I reached the counter.Īs soon as he saw that I had reserved a Focus, Budget guy presented the offer:Ĭan I interest you in an all wheel drive Ford Escape this evening? It will handle the snow better than…Īnd that’s where I cut him off and simply said “ yes please!” Luckily (or unluckily depending how you look at it), the snow was coming down hard that evening we arrived at the airport, and the guy at the Budget Rental Car counter was pushing anything with AWD really hard.Īs a matter of fact, he managed to upsell the guy ahead of us to a Porsche Cayenne from the midsize car he had originally reserved. Hey – this was a family trip so I knew I wasn’t going to have time to do a full review anyway, so why not try and save a few bucks if possible, right? How I ended up doing a 2015 Ford Escape SE EcoBoost review Remember a couple years ago when I complained about the back-to-back Ford Focus rental cars I received on two consecutive trips? Well, in an effort to save a few dollars, I did the unthinkable: I deliberately reserved a Focus for this three day trip to Minnesota.
I was dreading this rental car experience even before our plane touched down at MSP.
