I found a good deal on a US-spec Ford Escape Limited actually (at Stockfish), wicked price and really low KMs. I think I might send them looking for one that has the sat nav (once you drive a car with one built-in, everything changes) but with the Limited trim.
Our dealer here is doing an awful lot of US importing and I tend to trust their stock. I'm leaning toward the Escape as I can trailer at least a small boat with it / utility trailer and it's still going to be half-decent on gas.
