You would. Evlnvrdys never should have posted the dirty fruit in the other thread.
Did he drop his apple on the ground in the garden again?

If the escape was a great vehicle there wouldn’t be good leases available.
Looks like you have never found a $10 bill on the ground. Because according to your logic, finding a $10 bill on the ground is too good of a deal, so it is impossible that that $10 can exist.

I bought my current 2016 Manual Transmission Mustang with 6,500 miles on it and in perfect condition in 2017. I paid $24K. VROOM just offered me $17K for it (now at 43K miles). It is a great vehicle, and if I do sell it, it will have depreciated only $7K in 4 years, which made that Mustang an awesome financial decision for a daily driver.

Also, our AWD Escape is costing us a ridiculously low $220 per month as a lease (no money down and including the trade in of our 11 year old Malibu that needed $800 in work if we didn't trade it in). That is a tremendous deal for a reliable, high MPG, high utility, 4 season vehicle.

A Forester joined us for our Trail Meetup and it did pretty well but slipped far more on certain sections! Also, he had to be in AWD full time, while we handled majority on 2wd😎

I think after he wanted to upgrade to the Bronco Sport😅

Ford Bronco Forester the better buy??? tenor

Subaru has better ground clearance, lower roof height to throw all your extreme sports equipment on the roof rack that can support 1000lbs. It can flex like a body builder, get great gas mileage, and is a PZEV. LLbean is a kick ass package as well.
We had a '98 Forrester with a stick. It was a beast in the snow - shockingly good compared to the shitty cars we had owned previously. Ran circles around the AWD Highlander we bought in '01. That Highlander should have been called the HighCenterer. - thing had awful ground clearance - got it stuck on a downhill run out of our driveway in 8" of snow. AWD system was shit and the motor was shot at 50k with bad rings. Other than a covered transmission issue we had with the Subaru when it was new, never had a problem with it. Three years ago we compared the CX-5 with the redesigned Forrester - the CVT killed it for me, not to mention the styling was still pretty station wagonish even though they have beefed it up.

Red Canyon Jeep Trail in Southern CA! Connects to the Bradshaw Trail which has a TON of offshoots. We didn't explore it all, just through to Eagle Mountain Railroad Trestle Bridge🙂

Easy trail and has a variety of terrain to test out your rigs capabilities, plus great experience to learn from too!

Biased opinion as a happy forester owner, the Bronco sport reminds me of the Mustang II.

Yeah we found out he just bought it and has all the gear (lift, tires, body mods etc.) Ordered and just waiting to be delivered! I made sure he didn't lose a bumper or scrap (as much) on some of the obstacles on the trail. On the Bradshaw Trail we plowed through as much of the sand for him. He followed close behind😅
