Not an SUV anymore 2013 Ford Escape Pros and Cons jrexplore The rear quarter windows are small and visibility to the right side blind spot is very poor.

2014 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh With the partial exception of the Passat-based, Mercedes CLS-imitating CC, VW doesn't do swoopy.

2014 Subaru Forester XT Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Many manufacturers, in making their compact crossovers sleeker and swoopier, seem to have forgotten why many buyers buy crossovers in the first place. Not Subaru. The new Forester's windshield isn't laid way back. Its roof is high, but its beltline (base of the windows) isn't, and doesn't sweep dramatically upward...

A Pretty Decent Cute-Ute, All Things Considered 2012 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member4238 I spent 20+ years in cars, and all that time I despised those driving SUVs and "cute utes." Well, now I get it. The visibility in traffic is far superior to a comparable car, especially the very latest models with bunker-inspired window slits. (It's also nice having side glass that... |

2013 Mazda CX-5 Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Aside from engine performance, nothing else stands out as a weakness. Small windows limit visibility to the rear, but this is common among recently designed vehicles, and a rearview camera is available. Rearward visibility is no better in the Escape, while forward visibility is considerably worse owing to a much... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Escape |

2008 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member1131 You sit up high and have a good command of the area around the car due to excellent visibility. The seat is very comfortable and supportive, especially on long drives. It is an easy vehicle to make a 5,000 km trip in (which I have just done). |
