Our workgroup just had a Ford Escape hybrid to test drive. Everyone loved it. A huge amount of legroom, even better than a minivan.
I never drove a Subaru, they are for short people. When the boyfriend and I went to look at one, the salesman ignored us. When we finally got to sit in one, his head was smashed against the windshield. Subarus aren't good if you are more than about 6 feet tall.
If you want an Escape hybrid move quick, they are all going for fleet sales.

I have an '07 Escape. I love it. I really do. My in-laws have an '04 or '05 Escape, no major problems with it yet, and they drive the living daylights out of that car.

thanks
Thank you for your input! We are being lent one(an escape) for a day so i shall give you our thoughts on fri!
Next week we might borrow a Forester & decided...
We actually were looking @ Holdens but the Crewman wasn't exactly what we wanted...
Vroom..
Update-The Escape's wonderful to drive! I can see over the steering wheel!!! The only downside is it doesn't fit a mtn bike in the back..poo..
Ian had a thought whilst walking Yukon...He wants to look into a Holden Commodore..We'd have no worries with room!!! We'll check it out..Last edited by crazycanuck; 02-20-2008 at 02:36 AM.

Hmmm...
Holden's aren't available in the States.
Are they sold here under a different name?
Got a link to them?
p.s. Our Escape has a receiver hitch and we have a Thule T2 rack on the back for the mountain (and road) bikes.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

hmm
I have no clue
All i know is Holdens are v nice cars!!
I know they're sold as Vauxhaull in the UK, are Vauxhaull's sold in the US???
Another issue with Subaru's is they're one of the most popular vehicles to steal in Australia...
We started off looking @ Holdens and I think we might just have another look.
Thanks!
