[QUOTE="Ablaze, post: 16365078, member: 137330"] Wife and I are looking to add a 2017 Escape to the mix. We found 2, both with mostly the same options, except one is FWD and one is AWD. Both have the 2.0L. We're just outside of DC in Maryland, winters are very mild, but we will be taking a lot of road trips in it cross country when we're not taking the Shelby. We owned a base 14 Escape without the turbo (it was meh) then fate provided us with a rental FWD 2.0L in Atlanta last year during a medical trip (we didn't request it, it was paid for by my company) and I was surprised with the get up and go! By comparison, I've never had an AWD vehicle before. We'll keep the vehicle for at least 7-10 years i.e. until the extended warranty wears out and we start having problems. I tried to talk her into a Volvo XC40 but I lost that battle, she doesn't think it's worth the $30k over the Escape. Is it worth traveling out of state and paying the $2k extra for AWD? [/QUOTE]
