What people are asking about this car
2008 Ford Escape?
I just leased a 2008 Ford Escape on Saturday. However, I was looking over it today and realized that the front drivers side wheel well looks to be rusted. Is this common in new cars? If not will the dealership have to fix it?

Why should I also consider these? X

The Mercury Mariner and Mazda Tribute are essentially identical to the 2008 Ford Escape, and you may prefer their styling over that of the more traditional Ford.

The Honda CR-V is four-cylinder only, but its good space efficiency and reputation for durability overcome the awkward style of its front end.

The Saturn Vue is new for 2008, and it has a Euro-smooth shape, a big V-6 option, and an available Hybrid version, though it’s also a five-seater only.
