ACCELERATION:
0 to 60: Time all over the place. But Car and driver reported a time of 9.2 seconds on a model with more horsepower so....the Escape isn't super fast. I didn't really notice through. Frankly, I found the Escape to be responsive and easy to drive. And I didn't have any complaints with the speed of this vehicle.
HANDLING:
Handling on the other hand, I didn't like. I've driven a lot of SUVs recently and this is the first one I had in a while where I felt like the need to dramatically slow down when I went around a long curving exit ramp on the interstate. Maybe it's just me being overly caution, but I really felt like the back end was going to slip if I didn't slow down...and that's not a great feeling. I just didn't feel comfortable, or confident driving the Escape.
