Ford Escape, first generation or second? I recall the first generations having grenading transmissions or something. I saw a lot in Mazda with transmission issues. I've driven the second generation ones and they do drive well, but not pseudo-luxury by any means. Still a very good car that I'd bring to their attention.

The Venza is a little big for their use. I could see the Rav4 being a much better option.

You've completely lost me. I've read from the Grassroots boys that the 3800 series engines were bulletproof. They stuffed them throughout their vehicle lineup, supercharged them and whatnot. Transmissions would give out due to mileage quicker than the engines would even think about breaking down with basic maintenance.
