the only car I've ever driven with worse blind spots: Toyota Avalon Convertable. Talk about blind spots on wheels.
Unfortunately, it was in the middle of February in Minneapolis so there was no putting the top down
And when I rent from National in ATL I can pick which car I want... thing is, sometimes, they just have shit left.

The transmission was awful. If you tried to accelerate, backed off, and then tried to take up the slack, it felt like you were smacking the drivetrain with a hammer.
The interior wasn't bad. The seating positon was comfortable. It was a little thirsty.
I hated the Ford Fusion that I drove.

Had a Mercury Mariner about 4 weeks ago... around 19k on it. Sounds like exactly the same experience you had with the Escape.
