I am in Hawaii, and I rented a Ford Escape V6.
I kinow I am not in my MO.
Escape is very unrefined, noisy, not a smooth ride at all, not too much pep.
I guess you get what you pay for.
ekaxel... sorry you have to endure the Escape but at least you're in Hawaii. Business or pleasure? If you're in Honolulu look out for me, silver SL MO, Z grille and some blingin' 20" chrome rims.
