My 2014 has done very well. 225k, 45 miles per gallon over lifetime of the car. Been a really good vehicle.
2014 Escort. Now 9 1/2 years old. No breakdowns. Replaced rear upper center led brake light. $120.00. Normal oil & filter changes. New tires a couple of years ago. Other than that, I just enjoy 1) Close to 375 miles range per tank, 2) 10 minute fill-ups, 3) lots of filling stations.
Yes, I think electric cars are the future...after 1) Total upgrade of the grid, 2) nuclear power stations, 3) Much cheaper batteries, 4) 10 minute FULL recharge time.
Shove it, Tesla. I still think Musk is a genius, without which e-cars would never have even started.
