I came very close to ordering a 2013 Escape 0, but the dealer put me off. I really like the Escape though. I thought the bike rode well and was comfortable for me. If the dealer had not irritated me I would most likely own one now. In the end I ended up with a Coda Sport and really like it. Not sure if I like it over the Escape or vice versa, but the Coda is a great riding bike and kinda has that old school look.

Either the 2012 or 2013 Escape would be a great purchase. Good luck.
