- Escape Hybrid, Mach-E Prem/AWD/Standard Battery
Annnnnnd... Just cancelled my order for the MME. Considering my options at the moment. I might get a MY for March '21 delivery, or the new Bronco Sport (which I think is a great looking vehicle) for delivery in the same time frame. I contemplated the Escape Plug-in Hybrid as an alternative but with just 37 miles of battery range (much less in winter - a big deal in Michigan) and only available as FWD, I dismissed it from further consideration. Dealer is refunding my $500 order as we speak.
In the end, I couldn't wrap my mind around a couple of factors: 1) the monthly financing cost of $850+insurance (regardless of the traditional financing or Ford Options methods) is just too high to be practical; and 2) ground clearance, range, and other specs put it at a disadvantage compared to the MY, but also the Bronco Sport and the Escape.
Enjoy the MME! I'm looking forward to taking one for a test drive when they're finally out in the wild.
