I just bought an Escape earlier this year. I really like it, and there’s plenty of room for two adults and one baby, one bag for me and 15 for the two women. I only paid 17.5 for the base model which is $1000 less then what edmonds says is the average. I think Ford is willing to help out since they are hurting. I did buy a standard, but I get in the upper 20s for mileage. I only have 4000 miles on it so I wouldn’t have any problems. There are two things I don’t like, the storage cover doesn’t stretch much and the trip odo and the normal odo are the same so you can’t tell how far you’ve driven on a tank without hitting a button. ---

Yet another vote for Subaru. Legacy wagon, Outback, or Forester. Fry ---

Thank you to everyone who made recommendations. I’m now the proud owner of an '03 Forester, and I’m loving it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/recommend-a-good-small-suv/415317.md?page=2)
