Went to the Ford Dealer today to have a coolant flush on the wife's Focus and while I was waiting I wandered the lot looking @ new Fords. There was a really nice silver SE Escape 1.6L EcoBoost model for 22.4K. Great front seats. Seemed like a really nice ride. Popped open the hood to see what's what where. Noticed the oil filter on front of engine surrounded by hoses and other parts making it very difficult to replace. IMO what a STUPID location. Spoke to auto tech and he confirmed it is a pain to remove and oil drips on hoses. Really Ford....I like doing my own oil/filter changes. Crossed 1.6L Escape off my wish List. I really liked the way the Edge 3.5 looked from outside but didn't get a chance to sit inside nor look @ engine bay.
