Great review Tom! People like to put down these lil Ecosports but for people who want the increased ride height and other advantages of an SUV but don't want to spend a huge amount of money and drive a huge beast of a vehicle, these Ecosports are ideal! These Ecosports are much easier to drive & park than a large SUV! Plus unlike a lot of subcompact SUVs, the Ecosport has AWD!
l love it for the increased ground clearance and the overall appearance, it’s a ‘beauty’ in my eyes. I just don’t like the lack of a spare tire, but there are ways around that I have seen online....great review and Thanks!
I love mine!!! Love that the wiper come on, speed up,slow down and go off all on its own. The back up camera not only shows you what behind you but also has a diagram of where your headed with the steering wheel turned they way have it. I also love that if you have the fan on full blast and answer a call the car will turn the fan down and when the calls over it will set it back to where it was.
I have a 2018, same trim(Titanium), and same color(Smoke). Good car, fits my needs, but won't fit anyones. Braeton has the right idea in his comment. One thing I found surprising though is with the cargo cover. Mine is the retractable kind, but my girlfriend has that kind(solid, one piece shown in the video) on her 2019 SE. Just was a bit surprising. IMO I love the car, wish Ford would tweak a few minor things(LED lights on the Titanium, come on), but it fits my needs and it gets me from A to B, and is decent on gas. Also not mentioned: In the center console, that's a little tray that is removable. The actual console is a lot deeper :) Overall, I'm glad you're not one of those reviewers who just gives off the vibe of "it's small, it's slow, I hate it". You seem to really appreciate it for what it is
Mine is 2013 model (same Titanium trim), 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine, with DCT. Older model than yours. But yeah. Overall, I love its quality. Performance wise, it just decent. Feature wise, it wast the best in it class (subcompact crossover 1.5L) back then (its competitor were Honda HR-V 1.5L, Toyota Rush, and Nissan Juke). And the DCT performance is surprisingly awesome in highways (although somewhat clunky in pretty jammed traffic). The fuel economy (kmpl in my case) is only decent (in similar range to the aforementioned competitors). 9-10 kmpl in the city (up to 20 kmph avg) and 14-15 kmpl in the highway (60-80 kmph avg). So yeah. It's a good car. I do some changes on both the headlight and foglight. 6000K LED on the headlight and 3000K LED for the foglight and so far so good (although I prefer 4000-4300K for headlight if possible).
Finally! A fair review! Great job. You described the Ford EcoSport well. I thoroughly enjoy mine. A 2021 AWD SE at 10,000 miles now. The only thing I didn’t like were the dull headlights and fog lights. LED's work great, especially in the projectors.
I believe I mentioned sometime last month that I would like you to review the 2021 Chevrolet Spark and the 2021 Toyota Corolla sedan. No rush but sure am looking forward to it!
My and I got this for a rental on our recent visit back home to see family and I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t feeling it. When the lady gave us the keys and said suv, I expected something different. I laughed when I saw it lol but tbh it grew on me and my wife loves it. Thinking about trading in my 2011 Camry for one but idk if it’ll be as reliable tho. Any thoughts on that??
If the Subaru has a CVT transmission you may want to stay with the Ecosport. Look up CVT vs Automatic transmission and also the life expectancy of both types of transmissions. CVTs are cheaper but may not get as many miles on them, when they fail you are stranded.

Couldn't agree more, Braeton! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.

I'm buying a 21 ecosport monday!!! It will be my first actual new car. I'm very excited.
I've got a 2020 model and it's surprisingly nice for the money.
Can someone over 6 feet tall drive it and be comfortabl with enough leg room?
@@adambrassard265 Yes.

It’s like driving a luxury go-cart!
Note-open the console lid & lift the removable tray -beneath it is a deep console storage space!
Love that it's 4 wheel drive. My next vechile !
That car has one of the best 4 cylinders you can get
This was my rental vehicle and took me awhile to figure out how to open the hatch door lol
I know how that is! LOL
Same! Had to TH-cam it lol
It was so obvious tho once I found it lol
@@BeardGawd88 I wish I had thought of showing myself looking for it to add humor to my first video with the Ecosport! LOL
@@VehicleVisionary I’m sure probably everyone seeing that would’ve had an oooo moment 😂😂.

Thank you for the reminder! 👍😀
Prefer SIMPLE 😬
NICE REVIEW, AS ALWAYS
Thank you!
Hope you explain the confusing door locking system.

Which is better, 2021 subaru crosstrek limited or 2021 ford ecosport titanium?

why skip the spare tire???
Thank you
You're welcome
No CVT wins it for the Ecosport
That is the replacement for the Ford Focus
Not really. I would say the Escape is more the size of a Ford Focus, and EcoSport is the size of a Ford Fiesta.
The eco boost in the ecosport is horrible. Very very sluggish and horrible shifting. Bought mine brand new last year and hate it
Why do you advise me to buy one at 33000 miles
What are you talking about?
Why are you saying it’s horrible. Do you advise advise me to buy Ecosport titanium turbo 2016 petrol model
@@bhotsotsovivy3228 I wouldn’t get any ecosport model lol I got rid of mine 6 months into the loan and bought a Toyota.
When a Ford model has an SES trim, you know the model in general is outdated
These are crap. I’ve seen maybe 5 on the road.
Then don't buy one - I see them all over the place, and it's been nothing but great for me with not a single issue.
You're 100% correct. Junk is what this is.
@@scraplifelivingthedream4331 funny, every person I've talked to who owns one say they love it
There not for everyone. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it a crap car.
@@mrbubetube Just bought one with the 2.0 and AWD. It's reliable and tough as nails. Fun to drive, too. The "intelligent 4WD" works flawlessly.
