Horsepower 200 @ 5100 RPM
Torque 207 @ 1800 RPM

1800 RPM is pretty timid. Even my wheeze-tastic Kia would get up and go if you told it to, and I had no trouble going through the Smokies with it. Didn't have no fancy MPG readout on it, though.

I'm pretty tickled with our rental here.
Hertz gave us a Mercury Mariner, which is a pimped up version of the Ford Escape I've been driving for 7 years.
That Escape is the best vehicle I have ever owned.

I always like the Escape... it's a nice-sized little vehicle and attractive. I would love to have the 25-mpg hybrid.

Tell ya what, I have 109,000 miles on mine and the thing has done everything I ever asked it to do and when I was in Washington state I took that thing up mountain roads a billy goat had no business being on. It also handles better in snow and rain than any other vehicle I have ever driven. I average between 20 and 24 on the highway.
When it gives up the ghost I am replacing it with another one.

I loved the rentals I've had... 2008 Chrysler Aspen was my vehicle for travelling (when I needed to get to Savannah) when my Mazda 626 entered the morgue (the mechanic's shop) over a year ago.
A female-friendly large SUV. I loved it, and the gas mileage was actually pretty good. It was very easy to handle (well, if you can handle a Suburban with ease, the Aspen was a piece of cake).
I do remember taking a wrong turn in it off of highway 204, and ended up in the ghetto... :o :lmao: 23 year old female and a fancy SUV... some freaky looking people staring at me was not my idea of fun... :hammer:
As for that 2009 Lincoln Town Car... drove like I was floating on a cloud. Still felt like an old-people's car... I miss the 80's model Town Car. :p

I had to rented a car this past summer. A Nissan Altima. Because it was a rental, it was a beat up POS. But, considering my Blazer was having a rear put in and the vehicle I was using (borrowed from a friend) was an old Chevy C-10 that leaked exhaust into the cab, the Altima was not so bad.
