  • The Ford Ecosport's finally gone off sale, but it could still represent cracking value as a used SUV. Join Rebecca Jackson as she shows you around the Ecosport, including a look at its (funky opening) boot, interior, driving experience and engine choices. Would you pick it over a Puma? Let us know in the comments…

    I have a 2018 since last Oct and love it. I'm single and don't need a lot of space. Love the heated seats for I have back issues.

    I've got the 1.5 deisel AWD ST, I think the interior is realy well appointed, leather and alcantara, contols feel premium, the styling is unique like a tonka toy. I think its realy a fun way to get arround.

    I've heard the ecoboost engines are naff, and used models have a tendency to let go after around 60k miles or so. I am considering a used one of these in the future, from a practical sense, ( I need a low boot lip and higher driving position ), but IF I decide on an EcoSport, it definitely won't be one with an ecoboost engine.

    First view, crazy ha! Good honest review, considering which small SUV style car to buy, looking for affordability but decent specifications too and I think this car has it. Only gripe is that boot door, why oh why! Could get used to it I suppose!

    Ford invented the small suv segment in Brazil with the 1st generation of the Ecosport based on the old Fiesta from 2003, 2005… the interesting thing is that the VW designers in Brazil had a very similar idea to create a compact suv for third world markets and the Germans ( VW ) thought no one would buy such cars. They were absolutely wrong, Ford took the leadership and created a new segment, for many years with the unbeatable Ecosport from 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations .

      As usual Ford have recalled them in the US but not in the UK. A new engine costs thousands. You can complain to Ford who will look at it on a case by case basis but I wouldn't hold your breath.

      @ Anthony … Get rid of it asap. Eco boost engine is a disaster waiting to happen. We have 2 fords sitting on drives engine failures . Cost to repair over £4000 each
      Just sell it ASAP and go for TOYOTA YARIS CROSS. It will go a long way practically no maintenance costs 😊🎉

      @michaelheadley2041 ours needed a whole new engine, standard story, Oil pickup blocked solid with rubber residue from the wet belt and starved the top end of oil. Made a biblical noise when it let go!! But Ford didn't want to know. Cost us a fortune. Utter rubbish that engine.

      Which engine you talking about I take it the 1.0?, always steer clear of that engine it's always had problems since came out in 2012 on mk3 focus!!!, the 1.5tdci is the bullet proof engine!!

  • @jerrysteele44

    Lots of flaws in this review!, diesel are rare well there's loads about! Controls are modern taken from mk4 focus!, lots of spec leather version with heated steering and blind spot with lux pack!!, and reversing camera comes standard which you don't get on other ford's!!! And puma don't diesel!, the best engine is the bullet proof!!! 1.5tdci,
