nice to see similarity, what would have been your second choice if you didnt purchase the NOX.NoobNox said:I test drove everything on your poll list except for the Kia, Mazda, Volvo and Dodge.
Probably a low mileage used Edge (new ones are overpriced imo) or a Toyota Rav4. The swing out rear door and bland styling of the Rav4 killed my enthusiasm. The Hyundai Tucson was surprisingly nice and the price was right...but I couldn't get over my mental block of Hyundai being the "low priced junk" of the import world. All in all, I still feel I made the right choice with the Nox.KANWAR said:nice to see similarity, what would have been your second choice if you didnt purchase the NOX.
that was my exact experience too. Wife and i test drove a used Edge. Nice unit, but over priced. The Nox was hands down our favorite, and we love it.NoobNox said:Probably a low mileage used Edge (new ones are overpriced imo) or a Toyota Rav4.

I really wanted to like the Escape because of the traditional SUV styling and the old school 2-way rear hatch...but after two test drives I concluded that the ride was little too choppy, a little noiser than some of the competition, and even decked out in leather the interior looked dated compared to newer designs. The Edge had a better ride and a more pleasing interior, but the asking price even for a lower end model just seemed too high for what you're getting. The Nox is definitely a better value and an overall better vehicle....but I'm still interested in seeing what Ford does with the new Escape and eventually Edge replacements.

I was afraid I'd get bored with the styling (again, old design) and then feel buyer's remorse when the new ones arrived. Although I don't know what it will look like...but I'm quite happy with my Nox.![]()

Cadillac SRX
GMC Terrain
Chevy Equinox
Ford Edge
Dodge Durango
