Default What's your favorite standard feature?

Can you list some of your favorite standard features on your MMH /FEH?

besides the hybrid system...of course.

In no particular order:

Power windows (silly, to most of you, but my last vehicle was a '92 Toyota Corolla with crank-up windows)

My other favorite things aren't standard options, they're optional equipment -- the sound system, leather interior and my sunroof.

I think the cargo area in back is great. The seats fold down and there is ton of room for hauling stuff.

I like the navagation system.

I feel the vehicle handles really well. Good tight steering, nice firm brakes.

Great head room.

After reading the comments about the NAV/hybrid display system, I called my dealer and asked if he'd add it at cost. HE DID!!! He knocked off about $300, so I am feeling a little better now about the deal I got.

After reading that post about someone ordering their MMH on Nov 1, and picking it up the other day, I am hoping that I have that kind of luck.
(but I doubt it)

If we're just talking standard features... I'd have to say the 40/60 split rear seat. The 60% portion is plenty big for comfortable travel on long trips that require three people and still allows for extra storage (coolers fit nicely on the 40% portion and still allow for the passenger seat to be pushed way back for extended leg room. I did a 1200mi 5 day trip with two tall passengers and a lot of luggage/supplies/tools/parts and there were no complaints and I could still see out the rear view. It's trips like these and the FE that accompanied it that maid me choose the FEH.

My favorite non-standard feature would have to be the NAV (FE screens mainly) followed by the moonroof.

My fav feature is the Hybrid Energy Flow Screen.

Not the Nav itself, but you need the Nav to get the energy screen.

That is why I got the Nav pkg. The Hybrid Energy Flow Screen looked pretty cool.

Std feature. I's have to go with the auto climate control. A feature I've grown used to with my Eddie Bauer & Limited recent rides.
I miss the steering wheel volume & memory seats mirrors.
I love the bonus moonroof that we would not have gotten if we ordered vs taking off the lot.

Standard feature... The power lumbar support on the driver's seat.

I would say the dual climate control. Not having to listen to Mama whine is awesome as this Escape is pretty quiet.

I also like the FE screens as they are super helpful in improving driving technique. I think ALL vehicles should have them. I bet we could reduce imported oil by 10% if they did.
