Rate the Ride: 2010 Ford Escape

I've professed my love for the new rental car center at Atlanta's airport before, and I had another great experience November 14th.  My rental car this time is a 2010 Ford Escape.  The two hour drive from Hartsfield-Jackson Airport to Augusta, Georgia was painless and made getting around Augusta for the week fairly easy.  This last weekend, I spent another 10+ hours between Augusta, Atlanta and surrounding suburbs.  After all those miles - here is my review.


What I love:

• The aux input and cigarette lighter/power source conveniently located in the dash.  
• Cruise and volume controls on the steering wheel 
• Plenty of cargo and passenger space
• The blind spot mirror made it really easy to change lanes

What I don't love: 

• The ride was a bit bumpy (especially when compared to the Buick Lacrosse)
• The windshield wipers aren't the easiest to control while driving
• The turn signal doesn't consistently turn off after completing a turn

The final grade: B+
