opinion wanted!!!!

Okay so now getting rid of my
2012 Ford Escape"><span style=2012 Ford Escape" /> 2012 Ford Escape">2012 Ford Escape
and biting the bullet and buying a
2017 Escape"><span style=2017 Escape" /> 2017 Escape">2017 Escape
. It seems that the models that I like, the options that I like come on the vehicles that have the 1.5 liter http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=engine my question , is the 1.5 engine big enough to scoot and get the Escape down the road with a reasonable amount of acceleration and Power. The overall MPG between the two engines is really not that drastic but if the 1.5 would be fine for the Xscape the deal I want to work on is a great one. The other deal has the 2.0 ecoboost but that's like a $1,300 option and it has the cold weather package and also the $1,300 technology package. I would like to know before I bite the bullet if the 1.5 engine will be sufficient. All opinions are welcome

well I bit the bullet picked up my new Escape Titanium today with the 2.0 and all the other goodies that go along with the titanium. I got to say I'm impressed with the 2.0 and I can really see that I would be very disappointed if I bought the 1.5 245 horses under the hood that's great for me and I don't have to feel as though I got to keep my foot into the pedal as much. So I'm quite happy with it so far the 8-inch navigation is pretty cool and also the remote start and the connect feature which let you use your cell phone to start the car lock it and unlock it is pretty neat. Now I just have to find a cargo mat for the rear and some nice rubber floor mats . the ones from the dealers are just so damn expensive but I want something that's going to fit nice. I would like to know what they mean by wiper de-icer as I can't see what's going to keep the ice off the wipers.
