Well my wife has a '13 Escape,ecoboost and awd. I love driving that thing. I wanted something good on gas but with some cargo room for tools and such. To me a used Edge or the Flex was a no brainer as I couldn't afford something new. Mine is the burnt orange(can't remember Fords name for it) and the dealer made it work for me in my budget. Not to mention AWD is a must for me with our weather and me hunting. The SCT tuner really helped with the delay in the gas pedal. Now it is quick and snappy on the throttle and Gained about 1.5mpg in town for around 17mpg in town and gained about the same on the highway for 25mpg,26 at its best.
