Atta boy Steve, welcome to the Dark Side. My wife loves hers, her lease is up this coming summer and we're probably going to move up to an Edge.
What engine do you have? 2013 Titanium 2.0 AWD here. I end up driving it more than the wife does since we took over her mother's car and my wife is driving that. I would have preferred she bought a Forester, but she didn't want another lezmobile (had an Outback before the Escape). I'm not real enamored with the Escape (a lot of little things that you don't realize until you start living with it every day), but I'm not about to take the bath by getting rid of it (a little over three years old with 15,xxx miles on it). Being the pussy that I am, I do drive it in the winter on the bitter cold days because my Legacy doesn't have remote start and the Escape does. Hope it treats you well.
It has the 2.0 as well. Mine is not a Titanium but has the moon roof, towing package and the upgraded sound system. I'm really happy with it so far! Thanks!
