Have one, it's allright.

Nothing fantastic, nothing horrific.

Just make sure the condenser has been changed under warranty. They don't have a recall against it but the oil cooler that is part of the condenser leaks transmission fluid. One thing for sure is do not get a 2009 or 2010 model.

escape, rav4, crv are all pretty similar and for the most part decently reliable. u just gotta drive each one and see which you think "feels" better driving/interior/exterior. or you could put up a lil more cash and get a brand new tucson. yes its a hyundai, but its actually a pretty decent cuv/suv/watever. and to any "hyundai" haters, its not like owning a ford escape, toyota rav4, honda crv is any more impressive to begin with. lol.

Rav4 and crv are pretty much identical to drive around. The rav4 might be a little nicer inside, and can be very nice if you get all the bells and whistles. V6 option is nice, but not really necessary.

Yeah i was thinking about maybe going new... but the interior of the hyunday blows. Plus it would really take me over my budget big time.

What i REALLY want would be this:
