    The professional reviewers never seem very impressed with this car, but the owners are happy! I've had mine for a year and I love it. It's comfortable, fun to drive, and practical. I did get the 4x4 with a 2.0 liter engine, and I've never felt like it was underpowered.

      You're lucky ! I've a 2018 automatic Ecosport Titanium and as you say it's a very and comfortable car to drive. BUT here in Europe (I'm european people) unfortunately we have only an 999cc 3 cylinders Ecoboost engine (turbo charged) and I pray it doesn't explode. The only 4 cyl we have is a diesel manual gear box.

    My wife is 4'9" and we bought an 2019 Ecosport Titanium to replace a Honda Fit. Great choice. She says it's the most comfortable seat she's ever ridden in. The car fits her like a glove. Her feet touch the floor and the seat adjusts perfectly so she has great visibility. The touch screen is very impressive. We love the car.

    It's a mini-suv, not a sports/performance car. Not for everyone, but for someone who needs more room than a small car. but also wants the fuel economy, easier parking and maneuverability - say in the city of a small vehicle. So - young families, singles that carry gear, small business start ups that need to move around with stuff, delivery services/couriers traveling sales people students, empty-nesters, recent grads...

I can get in and out with no issues. I don't get the mileage that I did with the Focus, but I am so much more comfortable. For an adult shopping for two, I have plenty of cargo room. I have yet to have anyone try the back seats but they do appear to be tight. I am so glad I cam across your reviews because I feel even better about my car.

    Hi Mike! I live in Europe, and my uncle works at Ford where they make the EcoSport. He said that the car is mainly focused on european and indian market. The st line as far as I know, is only a visual upgrade, so you can add the ST line over the Titanium, to get a sportier look. Basically it is the equivalent of the SES like the one you tested.

    •  6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Nica Alex , I’m Brazilian living in Germany and working for automotive industry as tier 1 for several years. Ford Ecosport is developed in Brazil and adapted to some other countries around the world. As it is primarily developed for Brazil which is price driven market, we cannot expect to have a big and spacious and as well high performance car otherwise it would not sell. I hope this explains a little bit the “economical” solutions this car have.

    • @MrNikeAlex
      @MrNikeAlex 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Rodrigo Magalhães Pereira of course it is the cheap suv. In europe and i think that Brazil as well it is the cheapest right after the Dacia/Renault Duster. Mike was wondering why USA is not getting a more powerful engine option and as i said, the ST line available here is no different from the one he tested, of course as it is ment to be cheap.

      Nica Alex almost like that. Unfortunately the cheapest cars in Europe and USA are very expensive in Brazil. 😞 Several reasons for that since high taxation to high profits from all industry chain. Ecosport is between mid to high level car in Brazil. 😞

    I love this car!!! I have had my 2018 EcoSport 4x4 with a 2.0 liter engine (SES) for about six months and find it powerful, comfortable, nimble and very stable on the road. I am six foot two /300 pounds and feel very comfortable with the massive leg room and the headroom. I wish the review also covered the manual gear shift behind the steering wheel... its to provide extra power for passing and such. The side opening rear hatch is a blessing and once the rear seats are dropped, there is tons of cargo room for large items.

    Really liked your review... To help you with the name ECOsport like Ford told you, here's some history of this car for you, for future reference.
    The first Ecosport was designed and developed from 1999 until 2002 and launched in 2003. It was developed for Brazillian and South America's markets and the its project started right here, in USA! The name Ecosport as you now know is spelled like this because that's how we say that name in Brazil.
    I don't know how many generations Ford Fiesta has, but this Ecosport was developed alongside with the previous Fiesta generation and Ecosport was built on that previous Fiesta platform. These 2 cars were born to be the "salvation" of Ford Brasil and Ford built a brand new plant in northeast Brazillian state Bahia just to build these 2 models!
    Anyway, that's just to sum up a little bit of the history of this car.

    I like the review. I like the positives he mentions while not destroying the car with the negatives. I'm picking up a Titanium in 3 short days. I'm getting old, feeble, health problems, don't travel any long distances anymore, so this car is what will replace my Audi A5 Quattro Cabrio which is difficult to get in and out in tight parking spaces due to the long doors, hard to reach into the back seat unless the tops down. The trunk is reasonable compared to most convertibles but is low. When the dealer saw my trade in, he almost gave me the Ecosport.

  • @slottech169
    @slottech169 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I own this exact model and color of the Ecosport and I will say it drives and handles nicely. I opted to go with the 4 cylinder because of length of travel to work and so it is great having that extra power. I heard that the 3 cylinder one is ok if all you were doing is local driving and not doing any long distance driving. Also the first time the heated seats came on it was on high and I had the same thoughts about how hot it got but if you hit the button that controls the heated seats it has 3 levels of settings. I keep mine on the medium setting. I just saw another persons comment about the back seat folding down flat and is what he said just lift the seat cushion and it lays flat.

I can park it anywhere without problems. I drove a V6 for 11 years and I wouldn’t trade my EcoSport for another V6. Yes there is a limited amount of room in the back seat but I expected that. If you pull the bottom part of the back seat up before laying down the top it will lay flat.

They are 2-10 so with a little adjustment they have plenty room. It's great in the city and highway. Not she can fill that car up so cheap even when it tells her 50 miles to empty. The car is red, her birthday is in July and her favorite stone is naturally "Ruby" that's her name, Mom and Ruby are unstoppable.

    Thanks for your review. I recently gave me leased 2016 Ford Escape back and decided to lease a 2018 Ford Ecosport and I really like it. I got the se but it has the heated seats, sunroof, AWD. It took me a little to get use to size wise bc the trunk isn’t as big as the escape but it’s ok. I don’t have any kids so the smaller backseat space isn’t an issue either, I did however compromised on color, I got black bc the dealership didn’t have a lot of color choices on the lot, the normal boring colors of black, grey, silver, white is all they had, I wanted cannon ridge . Also, I always wanted a sunroof and I do love mine but now I realize that with a sunroof comes no light in your car when you open the doors at night, there’s only one in the front and it doesn’t light up the entire car, other than that I’m enjoying it!

    Good work. I think your reviews are down to earth no BS reporting. The one feature of the Eco that needs a lot more accolades is the verticle display. I own a 2016 Linc MKX which has screen which is on about a 45 degree angle. I pray for cloudy days because when the sun is high in the sky the screen becomes useless due to glare. It pxxxxx me off to no end having to hold something over the screen to use my back-up camera during the day. I saw a early review of the new Nautilus recently and guess what. The same useless screen. The use-ability of a screen in most reviews doesn't get touched on except for what features it has. All the features in the world are useless if you can't see them. Looking forward to more great reviews.

    I have an SE with the 1.0l, and it’s a great car. Like he said in the review, it feels bigger than it is, and it can fit anywhere. Have had no problems zipping around chicago. I’ve taken it on a few 500 mile trips, and there were no issues on the highway, either. Was cruising at 90 the entire way and didn’t have any problems passing. The turbo kicks in quick, and it provides a substantial boost. Obviously it’s not like driving an S5 or whatever, but it’s definitely competent and pretty loveable.

      @@fallentraveler I traded it in early last year when my Maverick came in. I had 40,000 miles on it and absolutely zero issues, though. I would still have it if my Maverick wasn’t built. My wife has the AWD one. Also no issues, but it is noticeably slower than mine was, even though mine technically had 40 less HP. When the turbo kicked in, you felt it.

    I prepped an SE today for our show room. Before I could wash it I had to take off a whole lot of plastic covering the whole hood, the roof, and small bits and pieces all around the vehicle, and the wheels had some sticker like substance on it that was hard to get off. It was a hassle! Other than that I thought it was a cool little car by the time I was done detailing it. It was one of our first ones and everyone was excited like a kid on Christmas morning when I got it into the showroom.

      6.5k is the maxed out with gear and people of whatever you please to fill it.
      As to why i said it had more power (plus out of my experience, although in a different ford truck, still similar weights and HP, it hauls a lot faster then the ecosport)
      And to restate my question. Which did you like better? (Im not going to bash if you like the ecosport, both the f-150 and the ecosport have their, “Quirks and Features”-Doug)

My Fiesta now though after a clutch replacement runs beautifully. Only thing I hate about it is the resale value.
