My wife will be getting a new vehicle in the next few months, and she is very interested in getting a hybrid. She sat in the RAV4 and the Escape at an auto show and was more comfortable in them than the other smaller SUVs. She has not driven the RAV yet but has driven the Escape hybrid. I also drove the Escape and liked it more than the Toyota which I had driven last fall.
Having been on the RAV4 forums, it seems this new generation of RAV is having it's share of problems. The hybrid is the better of the RAV trims, but it also is having problems. Since I have driven both and liked the Escape better, that is what I would steer her towards. But of course she needs to drive the RAV before any final decisions are made.
Any reasons to avoid the Escape hybrids?
