Escapism?
I was thinking of investing in a car. I am not interested in something that guzzles gas. I am not interested in a Smart Car, as it requires that the dog, wife and baby squeeze into only one seat.
I thought the Ford Escape hybrid might be a good saw-off. It is not cheap, but with gas prices high, and smog warnings becoming more common, it might be worth it.
I visited my friendly local Ford dealer today and asked for some preliminary information. The sales dude basically told me I would be crazy to buy one since the engine sucks, it is expensive and no one knows how to fix it. All fears I had about the hybrids. Does anyone have a better experience with a non-Prius hybrid?
