 I saw one today.  It had a Hertz tag on it. It ran with me from Meridian MS to Birmingham at about 75 MPH.  If it was AWD or 4WD it hid it well. It looked like a cross between a Jeep Compass and Renegade with more emphasis on Renegade styling and size.

 I've seen a fair number of them around here.  They seem like a good size if you don't want a huge SUV.

Spot on comparison as far as looks. On the fence about how I like the look. They're quick though

 I think it looks a lot better than it's competitors, except maybe the compass (I really like it's baby grand cherokee looks). But it's off road package is very very good for a compact SUV, The Jeep trailhawk has been the leader, but it looks like the badlands package offers more, specifically with the turbo charged engine giving a much needed boost in low end torque.

Forgive me, I'm not up to speed on these yet but I thought the only engines offered on the new fords were the EcoBoosts. Arent those all turbo'd?

 Yes they all have the 1.5L EcoBoost or 2.0L EcoBoost depending on the trim level and other options. As far as low end torque, a turbo charger contributes nothing to low end torque. A turbo has a RPM range where it enhances performance. The EcoBoost turbos come on a lot earlier than turbos of the past. My experience is that from a dead stop the EcoBoost turbo surge doesn't come on until after 2k rpm.

 My biggest complaint on the 1.5l is the CVT.  I am not convinced in them.  For that alone I would have to pay for the upgrade to the 2.0l and the 8spd slushbox

 I agree with you on the CVT. My nephew has had a yearlong battle with Subaru about his Outback. They were wanting $8k to fix his CVT that was still in warranty. He had all maintenance done at the dealership when he started having transmission problems at 55k miles and finally had it resolved at 59k miles. They finally replaced it and he sold it less than a week latter. He is now in a VW AWD. He needs the AWD since he lives in NH.
