Bought one in June of 2011. It's my wife's commuter car. She should have about 50,000 miles on it come June of this year. No mechanical problems so far. However, she drives 25 miles of interstate one way each day and after driving an escape for 10 years doesn't like how low she sits in it. No problems with the Bluetooth, satellite radio, etc. Except for the seat height issue I would given an unqualified recommendation. Note: she and I are both about 5'5" and fit fine, but if I was 6' (sigh) I would make sure I 'fit' into it.
