Came from a 2013 Escape TI , Mazdaspeed 3 before that so I wanted more power back under the hood minus fail wheeldrive I had in the Speed . Did a lot of research and was sold on the 2.7 TT which ended up being much faster than I expected and love the sleeper aspect. I mean unless you know something about the Sport you are not expecting it to bolt soon after hitting the gas.
Had to travel 100 miles to find the one I wanted. Silver2016 Sport - CPO warranty 401 package, pano roof, 21" wheels and cold weather package. Had the dealer get a hitch cleanly installed (just the receiver sits below the rear valence - bar tucked up under the bumper cover) Escape had 80k on the clock and no longer under the extended warranty so I start getting antsy. My Escape was pretty clean and they gave me a good price on the trade in less half of the retail cost to fix the PTU which i had no idea was bad.
Bought an AFE Dry dropin even before I took delivery. First weekend I was out in the country so had plenty of open road and semi twisty roads get to know the car better. Absolutely love this car so far other than shitty turning radius. lack of one touch rear window and same for the sunroof.
