rperez817 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thanks again Anthony sir for sharing. Savage Geese's reviews are superb. His deep knowledge about the automotive industry is again evident in this Corsair video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Has he done one for the Aviator yet? I'm curious about his thoughts considering there's a lot of similar elements here combined with what his opinion is of the Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Or he knew he needed to be overall positive in one or would never be allowed to drive a Ford press vehicle again. Some (but not all) of his past critiques have been more about click-bate and deep personal opinion than any sort of fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Well that confirms that we need to do a test drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 I was admittedly pretty shocked at how the center panel flexed when he pushed the buttons. Otherwise, looks like a damn fine vehicle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you go to manual mode it will stay there as long as it's needed (spirited driving, holding a lower gear downhill, etc.) but will go back to auto when you're cruising. I think it will work fine. As compared to the base Edge where they removed the paddle shifters altogether and there is no way to manually downshift or hold a gear.

I looked through his video history and I didn't see an Aviator review. I'd be interested to see if it solved his complaints he had with Explorer.

I'm still trying to decide if they cheapened Explorer and Escape on purpose to make the Lincolns more attractive and/or to increase profit margin or if they just put all the resources on the Lincoln models and didn't have time to completely finish the Ford models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be some of both - didn't want the Fords creeping into Lincoln territory "quality" wise (though they do price-wise), all while resources got put into the Lincolns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Geese lets his viewers know when he is sharing deep personal opinion, I like that about his videos. He also does a good job sharing facts that can be verified. A good example is what he mentioned in this Corsair video about past Lincolns, that they were characterized by "faux" luxury rather than true substance. I owned several older Lincolns over the years and can confirm that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-dubz Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Good review. The center panel definitely needs to be addressed. When I first saw the design with that section kinda sticking out of the dash, I always thought there would be some issues. I thought the whole thing might flex a bit, but I didn’t expect the top to push in like that. I really like the Corsair. I hope anyone who is considering an escape titanium goes and gives this thing a test drive. Seems like it’s well worth the 2k price difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Oh damn, I didn't realize there was only a $2k difference between a loaded Escape Ti and a base Corsair. That seems like a steal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also comes with the 2.0L standard. Equipping that on the escape adds 3k and makes it more expensive than the Corsair. The few things the escape has that the base Corsair doesn’t aren’t worth taking a lesser vehicle for, at least in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t disagree with you there; but looks are subjective. That wasn’t the point though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
