- Model: 2017(?) Ford Escape
- VIN#
- License plate:
- When rented: 2017-10-13 - 2017-10-15
- Rented from: ENTERPRISE LEASING COMPANY - SOUTHEAST, 3648 DURHAM CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 277072661 (919) 490-6057
- Odometer (at pickup):

- Total rental cost:
(...at least I think it's a 2017; the paperwork after I drop it off on Sunday will confirm details.)
The dashboard display is somewhere between the Pacifica and the Sonata -- smaller than the Pacifica's, but still color. It's awkward to navigate and doesn't have a GPS
Pluses
- backup camera
- dashboard shows current gear, outside temp, general compass heading, realtime MPG estimate
- sun roof
- front speakers located high on door, for clearer audio
- cig-lighter jack in rear (behind passenger seats)
- stays on when car is off
- cig lighter in center console also stays on when car is off / key removed
- media player stays on when car is off, until a door is opened
Minuses
- media player has no random option, may have some limitations in what it can play (further experimentation needed)
dashboard MPG does not show trip average- actually it has a mode for this, but it doesn't automatically register beginning/end of a "trip" when you fill up; you have to manually do stuff, and I wasn't able to figure it out in the time available
- passenger-row doors have no lock controls
Other
- engine stops when car is at rest in Drive and brake is down; starts immediately when brake is released
- does not stop when car is in Park
