To its driver, this crossover sport utility vehicle feels more like a car than a truck. Its compact exterior dimensions produce a surprisingly roomy interior. The second row seat is actually more spacious and comfortable than the seats in many larger competitors. No third row seat is offered, though cargo room is quite good.

Based on the Ford Escape, the fully independent suspension produces even better handling and steering, thanks to a revised suspension. The ride, however, is firmer. Braking is good, though panic stops produce some nosedive. Road and wind noise are higher than in some competitors.

A 2.3-liter four improves base engine performance. The V-6-automatic transmission version feels lively.

Conclusion: The crossover SUV for people who want crisper handling than offered in the Ford Escape and are willing to sacrifice some riding comfort to get it.
