It's design for developing country which is have special purpose like a flood and rocky roads, it has 200 mm ground clearance, 550 mm water wading, Thats why the Ecosport feels lack of handling, but in a country where is lack of good asphalt road and floody such as Brazil, Indian and Indonesian, it works well than the Nissan Juke... just my 2 cents
Good point… Though I actually would consider buying one if available in the States. California roads aren't much better than the developing world. Lol. Anyway, that 1990s-style spare tire and Toyota-style rear gate are ridiculous.
Yes good comment and very valid. I live in Australia with 35 to 45 degee celsius heat, - annual flooding and dirt/rocky roads - so these little suv's are perfect for country towns.
having lived with a gen 1 land rover Freelander for 12 years, in the real world, the spare wheel on the boot and the side hinged door isn't a problem. I'd never had issues with it, whilst reversing into parking spaces, in my time of ownership
he's doing consumer reviews for europeans, and that car doesn't meet the standards of the rest of the ford line-up or european rivals. It would be ok if it was sold at a low price, but it costs more than a dacia duster.
It's a "Ford Brazil" project for emerging markets, and in the UK, it should be aimed at the Dacia Duster, which isn't known for good build-quality either.
Aristotelis Mitsiou you are talking about the 1litre ecoboost which was awarded the engine of the decade and was the same engine that hammonds fiesta had.Clakson himself said that the engine is a masterpiece
This car make sense here in Argentina, and also in Brasil. It's competitive compared to the Duster, it has a good equipment, and just enough room for a modern family. But sending it to Europe just the same as it is presented here on this side of the Atlantic is pointless... it should be cheaper, or at least have better quality materials.
Ford should have had at least one second thought about bringing a car designed for the South American market into Europe. They know that European Standards in terms of safety and quality are much higher. It would be justified if it were the same price as a Dacia Duster, but against the likes of it's rivals, this thing doesn't stand a chance.
This car was designed in Brazil and the 1st generation was nice, but the first day I saw this new generation I thought, "What the crap did they do?" Ugly since ever. But, you know, developed in Brazil. You can't expect much, anyway. But, my real big surprise was seeing this car being sold in countries like German. Unbelievable.
Own an ecosport Ecooboost and it really is good for Indian Conditions. Worth each and every penny in this segement. Dont know about other countries though.
Mat. I noticed the temperature reading of this car is in C not F. Do you guys have a mix of readings? Here in Canada we are all metric. The Yanks are all imperial readings......
actually only few caribbean countries and USA use F, just like distance, that only 3 countries in the world read in miles, USA, UK and Liberia... Metric System for the win!!!!
yes... just coincidence... cause Liberia is one of the worst countries in the world to live and they use imperial system aswell... by the way, i'm not in the mood to hear your american patriotic bullshit, so, bye...
djmhyde There's one more, Burma. Which as we know is just slightly better off than Liberia. And David the Troll above also conveniently ignores that the US is officially metric. All calculations made by the US government and it's entities are in metric. The government then have a tendency to convert it to nonsensical imperial measurements because their inhabitants don't get it otherwise. All engineering made by US companies is made in metric. The last time a american engineer used imperial in his professional capacity he crashed the Mars Climate Orbiter. All research made everywhere in the world is metric. Because it makes sense.
All measurement systems are decided on by convention. Neither the mile, nor the kilometer can claim the moral high ground. If you really want to only use units that are actually meaningful, you need to use the nautical mile, which is one minute of arc on a meridian, and even that is variable! What's so nice about metric is that it is a decimal system and all units are inter-related. Thanks to centuries of human experience, even two adjacent cities used different definitions of the same measurement unit.
Of course the Ford ecosport maybe a bit of a failure in the UK, but this may not always be the case with every other global market. You have to take into account that this product has only been out for a few months. Its not enough time for Ford to adapt their ecosport to different tastes & markets, hence the only variant of the Ecosport out there is adapted to the Brazillian & Indonesian market only. So whilst the product may be a little bit below standard compared to the rest of Fords fleet over here, it maybe above standard in Brazil. One mans trash is another mans treasure.
BEST CAR IV EVER BOUGHT, IT IS WHAT IT IS , I LOVE IT IM 20STONE UNFORTUNATELY BUT I FIND IT COMFY LOVE IT WITH A PASSION,. I HAVE THE 2015 1.5 TDCI REGULARLY GET 50 PLUS TO THE GALLON. LOVE THE LIGHTS AND WIPPERS COMING ON BY THEMSELVES. LOVE THE SIDE OPENING BOOT ITS GREAT WHEN YOU STOP AND ENJOY THE VIEW , WE SIT IN THE BOOT AREA. I DIDN'T BUY THIS CAR BECAUSE I WANT O RACE EVERYTHING ON THE ROAD. IT HAS A BIG INTEREOR FOR A SMALL SUV. 10/10 THIS GUY HASNT GOT A CLUE
I agree with Matt's review... Surprisingly its a hit car in India....In fact i went to the Ford dealer in India to take a test drive and the sales man told me that this car is over booked & If i book one now i can get delivery of the car in mid 2015... that is just absolutely ridiculous isn't it.......?????
Ponygt 662 It is not an opinion based on Matt's review. I have seen the car myself, driven most of it's competitors, and even though I am generally a Ford fan, this car is rubbish.
Ponygt 662 standards in India and Europe my greatly differ. In Russia, the best selling cars are made by Lada/VAZ - that doesn't necessarily mean, they are any good.
Okay so... 1) Expensive 2) Quality is absolutely appalling 3) The boot door open's sideways... why the hell does it do that!? 4) Cheap seats 5) Pathetic fuel economy, especially when you consider that you can get a real world 60mpg+ in the Diesel Nissan Juke on the motorway 6) Crappy handling 7) big blind spots 8) smaller than a Juke? That boot must be TINY! 9) Noisy cabin Honestly, why the hell would you buy this over a Peugeot 2008, Nissan Juke or even the new Kia Soul? Ford, you done goofed. You done goofed HARD.
***** Okay, I'll rephrase number 3 Why the absolute hell does it have a whacking huge tyre on the back??? There is zero need for it on a car like this. Space Saver under the boot floor would've been better.
***** Its just dumb styling to make it look more like an actual SUV. Its a Fiesta on stilts and nothing more. Instead of slapping that silly thing on the back they could've made it into a proper hatchback and extended it backward slightly.
This car sold like hot cake in India when it is launched. Infact I have one for last 6 years and it’s awesome car n I love it 🥰. Damn why Matt is so rude on this car btw his voice not matching with lip movements , may be 🤔.
my dad has 2015 focus so I consider getting this ford but it just cost more than Juke and honestly Juke feels better and has 5 star while this ford has 4 star safety rating...
+Imperial791 Its plastic and cheap. And obviously you guys don't care that its not save because you reincarnate anyway. Maybe thats why you are so reckless.
I live in India and have a ecosport because it's the first compact SUV with 200 mm of ground clearance and solid build which most cars in India are not and there's no juke in India so to take Indian roads you do need an SUV special in the countryside
The only review of carbuyer, i don't think is good. Steering might not be so well planted, but its fine ( in my TD). Other reviews finds its handling good:-Ford EcoSport review - Auto Express Also, It has been made to be under 4 metres ( actually the car is 3999 mm excluding the spare wheel) to save on some taxes/duty in India. And still keeping the boot space fine (back seat leg space as well)
You do know 44mpg is like really fucking good right? The new one that's coming to America only gets 30 something and that's still really good for a car let alone an suv
I don't find boot doors that open from the side to be very functional and the mounted spare wheel in a turn-off. I was so happy when Toyota stopped doing that on the Rav4
I like how only the Juke, Captur and 2008 are reminded. No one cares about the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Chevy Trax (which were before the Captur and 2008...)
Why is Matt not getting this car? If he compared this ECOSPORT (cough cough) to say a Model T he might see some improvements. You can always find the positives in anything. :))
Yes my friend!! that is the type of crap we get in Brazil. And that Project was first instroduced here. Guess how much that cost down here...... for the cheapest 1.6 gasoline engine $29.000 american dollars!!! That type of car with that terrible build quality wont stand a chance in EUROPE. You people have much better options! Chears!!
Shut up . .the car is more than worth compared to its price..its a decent car and the car body is damn strong..comfort is great.. Got great ground clearance.. I own Ecosport for past 1yr and its a joy to own one..great car at great price..
Don't get too caught up in the pronunciation... remember, if you put an S in front of the word laughter, it becomes a totally different word in meaning and pronunciation.
went to buy the ford loved the 1.0 turbo.pushes out an amazing 125 bhp.there the good news ends.wanted an automatic.they do it in 1.5 petrol.less power,less economical.where is the sense in that ford?many people would want the new 1.0 turbo as an automatic.for the other people here any japanese buy is good.you have many to choose from.mazda c3,honda hrv,mitsubishi asx,nissan juke.all great and above all reliable and in automatic form the juke as a 1.2 turbo.shame about the ford caus it looks good and the titanium spec is very good indeed.the one i wanted in blue as a 1.0 turbo was 17,500euros.
This is the Brazilian realism for cars, what do I mean? That car was created in Brazil, that's why it feels cheap, it's expensive and it overall sucks. How do I know? I live in that shitty piece of shit of a country.
super hit car here in India and i think the reviewer was little angry while doing this review too bad he should have driven this car in Indian roads before bashing a harsh review in ecosport
Foi sarcasmo, mas esse carro não foi construído sobre a plataforma do Fiesta, referência do segmento de compactos? Quando você tem um veículo desenvolvido sobre uma plataforma consolidada o mínimo que se espera é um pouco de qualidade
The EcoSport was designed for the South American market so Ford tried to make it as cheap as it can. I don't know why they took to the UK without improving it first.
And it is TERRIBLE, like ALL Ford vehicles made in Brazil... Sorry, but every single Ford made in Brazil, or at least the one I have met, have a questionable and poor quality and durability/reliability.... A Renault Duster made in Colombia is a way better option in terms of performance and raliability.
wtrdogg20 U r wrong mate, please drive this car 1st b4 commenting, sure this car is not a deal breaker but I felt it a way better car than the review explained and I drove the 1.5 Diesel in UK
Well, I have seen it, I have been in that car... And just with this review, it is good enough... Car Buyers reviews are very accurate... And all the points shown in the video, I have tested them by my self... There are reviews stating the same in South America... More than 5 reviewers and many drivers can't be wrong... If I have to buy an inexpensive SUV, let me have a Renault Duster.... Way more practical, comfortable and useful.
Please watch autocar india,overdrive,ndtv car and bike show,times drive etc reviews of Duster vs Ecosport I have been driving this car for almost 2 weeks for a full detailed review and this car aint bad by anu means, It lacks the composure of some ford hatchs and sedans and interior quality sure sucks But apart from that its way more practical,more spacious,more reasonable car than the cramped Fiesta
I actually like this ute. Mind you, it's not suppose to be as sporty as the Fiesta or Focus. I think if Ford offered this is in the States without that 1990s style spare wheel and Toyota rear gate, I might consider this as a daily driver.
Wow that interior quality can only be described as sub-Dacia...!! Also for an "SUV" it manages to be quite impractical. You would have to know absolutely NOTHING about cars to buy one of these. Surprised Ford UK even opted to sell it here, it doesn't help the brand image one bit.
It's design for developing country which is have special purpose like a flood and rocky roads, it has 200 mm ground clearance, 550 mm water wading, Thats why the Ecosport feels lack of handling, but in a country where is lack of good asphalt road and floody such as Brazil, Indian and Indonesian, it works well than the Nissan Juke... just my 2 cents
Couldn't agree more with you.. by all means, this car is designed for developing countries for the bad roads conditions, narrow road, ect
Good point… Though I actually would consider buying one if available in the States. California roads aren't much better than the developing world. Lol. Anyway, that 1990s-style spare tire and Toyota-style rear gate are ridiculous.
wuihh! ada bro ridwan disini! (worth untuk dibeli ga bro sekennya?)
Yes good comment and very valid. I live in Australia with 35 to 45 degee celsius heat, - annual flooding and dirt/rocky roads - so these little suv's are perfect for country towns.
Yep. And it has been imported to a wrong market.
having lived with a gen 1 land rover Freelander for 12 years, in the real world, the spare wheel on the boot and the side hinged door isn't a problem. I'd never had issues with it, whilst reversing into parking spaces, in my time of ownership
Never seen Matt hate a car this much. I guess the low quality can be attributed to it coming from either Brazil, India or Thailand.
It's made in India... ;)
he's doing consumer reviews for europeans, and that car doesn't meet the standards of the rest of the ford line-up or european rivals. It would be ok if it was sold at a low price, but it costs more than a dacia duster.
Exactly. You can get cars from competitors that cost just as much but are better.
Abhinaba Basu you must be so proud :D
It's a "Ford Brazil" project for emerging markets, and in the UK, it should be aimed at the Dacia Duster, which isn't known for good build-quality either.
I have the 2016 Diesel version of this suv , and I love it
Nissan Juke looks much worse
really? have you seen the grills on the front? that 1 lt engine is going to need a fire to warm up!
***** The grill is not that big if you see it in person
***** i didnt mean the size, i ment the number. 5 grills! the fiesta (the car in which its based on) is MUCH BETTER looking than this
Aristotelis Mitsiou you are talking about the 1litre ecoboost which was awarded the engine of the decade and was the same engine that hammonds fiesta had.Clakson himself said that the engine is a masterpiece
Contributing comments here are not as valid as my neighbour's appraisal, who has owned her Ecosport since 2014. She loves it
Wow, that car really irritated him. Either that or he misses Rebecca.
😂😂😂😂
He’s sounding like he hasn’t had any passion recently….
despite car buyer everyone says that ecosport handles better than juke
ecosport is a good car i drive mine 4 years now... and i love this urban suv car😊
We have this car lovely ( according to where I live)
Omg I am going to buy one
Did you buy one ?? What's it like ?
This car make sense here in Argentina, and also in Brasil. It's competitive compared to the Duster, it has a good equipment, and just enough room for a modern family.

Designed and made in Brazil. This shows how much its lacking behind Ford America and Ford Germany

Ahh this car is quite comfortable, i drive one with powershift transmission 👍🏻
Hah you`ve never driven a comfortable car if you`ve never driven a Citroën. Especially a big one.
@@tyraela115 I never drive citroen before, but yeah its a nice car 😁
I also drive a mercedes benz also pretty much comfortable 😁
Mat. I noticed the temperature reading of this car is in C not F. Do you guys have a mix of readings? Here in Canada we are all metric. The Yanks are all imperial readings......
david dykeman we measure distance in miles, but temperature in Celsius. Even more odd is that our petrol/diesel is delivered in litres!

It's gotta be the first car on carbuyer to receive an almost all negative review. Justified though.
I have this one. I really love it
@Joachim Yzekiel Ventenilla i love and enjoy it. I have the titanium type. Why they hate it? When u see in the real life its really good car
why you look so hate ecosport all the review you take the minus side,is not verry bad those actually..
I love this car but everyone hate on it ) :
Even what car gave this car a bad review - I'm steering well clear. I'd rather go for the Suzuki S cross or the Qashqui
It doesn't even look like an European or American Ford design. It looks like a Brazilian Ford car ( even its grill is similar to the Brazilian Ka's)
What a harsh review. I find it almost impossible that everything about this car is rubbish!! Very subjective
Definitely the worst car made by Ford in ages. Quality is rubbish, it rides like a pig, the name is idiotic, it's ugly... What were they thinking of?
Fajna fura... tylko dlaczego bagażnik jak w cinquecento...

Never under estimate this car without driving it, this review was almost like a HATE review as this car is not a British Ford

Who thought it was a good idea to add THAT many grills?!
Nelly. And mid level mexican managers.
Looks like they drew inspiration from the Aztek, which, as far as car design goes, is something that should always be avoided.
Guilherme Sousa That looks like a possible explanation unfortunately :/
That little 1l engine will need a blanket in the winter
the same person that chose those wheels ...
It sells well in Latin America. Now we know why.
Because Ford builts the Ecosport in Brazil?
Marian Irmer No. because we get all the low quality products.
@@rubenito84 🤣😂
Need help Carbuyer, which one is better? Chevrolet Trax vs EcoSport? Thx :)
Omg this guy have put his life for carwow. He looks so so young
Is it AWD?
Lmao this review was even more negative than the Mercedes G-class one! (and the G-class didn't even deserve most of those negative comments)
Does it have a DRL in the foglight assembly?
Car looks fantastic..
Okay so...
1) Expensive
2) Quality is absolutely appalling
3) The boot door open's sideways... why the hell does it do that!?
4) Cheap seats
5) Pathetic fuel economy, especially when you consider that you can get a real world 60mpg+ in the Diesel Nissan Juke on the motorway
6) Crappy handling
7) big blind spots
8) smaller than a Juke? That boot must be TINY!
9) Noisy cabin
Honestly, why the hell would you buy this over a Peugeot 2008, Nissan Juke or even the new Kia Soul?
Ford, you done goofed. You done goofed HARD.
***** Okay, I'll rephrase number 3
Why the absolute hell does it have a whacking huge tyre on the back??? There is zero need for it on a car like this. Space Saver under the boot floor would've been better.

Soon they'll introduce this vehicle in the US, perhaps it'll be shipped from India. Excited to see how it'll perform in the States.
because the rest of the cars are cheap plastic boxes, and ecosport still stands a good position compared to what is offered in india.
Please review Tesla Model S, it has launched in the UK for a while now
Isn't it the least reliable car
It's a creation of Ford Brazil, and it shows.
How many grills does it need? And also, in 0:26 that thing wobbles. In other words, not good quality.
The only review of carbuyer, i don't think is good. Steering might not be so well planted, but its fine ( in my TD). Other reviews finds its handling good:-Ford EcoSport review - Auto Express
Also, It has been made to be under 4 metres ( actually the car is 3999 mm excluding the spare wheel) to save on some taxes/duty in India. And still keeping the boot space fine (back seat leg space as well)
Good review as usual. Thanks.
You do know 44mpg is like really fucking good right? The new one that's coming to America only gets 30 something and that's still really good for a car let alone an suv
What a disappointment from Ford. I´m glad that Mat´s balls to share such negative review with us.
I don't find boot doors that open from the side to be very functional and the mounted spare wheel in a turn-off. I was so happy when Toyota stopped doing that on the Rav4
How to reset change oil
Well we now know which is Matt's least favourite car.. Too bad though, it really looks good...in and outside.
yeah its so beautiful, i think its the best looking car.... in the world
Hey Mat, have you been working out?? The "guns" are looking HUGE!!!!!
What is the point of this car? It doesn't seem to do anything well?
mat why’d you go to carwow
Better pay of course
I like how only the Juke, Captur and 2008 are reminded. No one cares about the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Chevy Trax (which were before the Captur and 2008...)

Are you sure this is a Ford? All the things that make Fords one of the best cars to drive and own outside premium brands is missing here.
Well, what did you expect? It was designed in Brazil. Brazilian cars are utterly shitty.
Nem pra representar bem seu país eim? O pior é ver as críticas a esse carro, vergonhoso... é triste ver como o brasil é percebido por eles...

Hello .... Make some space in rear legroom.
Am I the only one who've read "Ford Escort SUV" at the first glimpse? ;)
And now I'm sure I've made the right decision of picking the Honda City over this one.
🤣🤣 EcoSport over Honda city any day.
The EcoSport was designed for the South American market so Ford tried to make it as cheap as it can. I don't know why they took to the UK without improving it first.
That's because nobody cares.
cheap, so they could profit in double for themselves, because here in Brazil it costs a fortune. and it is rubbish.
That car is made in my country, Brazil! :D
And it is TERRIBLE, like ALL Ford vehicles made in Brazil...
Sorry, but every single Ford made in Brazil, or at least the one I have met, have a questionable and poor quality and durability/reliability....
A Renault Duster made in Colombia is a way better option in terms of performance and raliability.
It was showcased in China and then built in India in the city of Chennai. China will also start production soon.
wtrdogg20 U r wrong mate, please drive this car 1st b4 commenting, sure this car is not a deal breaker but I felt it a way better car than the review explained and I drove the 1.5 Diesel in UK
Well, I have seen it, I have been in that car... And just with this review, it is good enough... Car Buyers reviews are very accurate... And all the points shown in the video, I have tested them by my self... There are reviews stating the same in South America... More than 5 reviewers and many drivers can't be wrong... If I have to buy an inexpensive SUV, let me have a Renault Duster.... Way more practical, comfortable and useful.
Please watch autocar india,overdrive,ndtv car and bike show,times drive etc reviews of Duster vs Ecosport
I have been driving this car for almost 2 weeks for a full detailed review and this car aint bad by anu means,
It lacks the composure of some ford hatchs and sedans and interior quality sure sucks
But apart from that its way more practical,more spacious,more reasonable car than the cramped Fiesta
So true Watson, i hv th same probz. .
This car review is just a roast lol
It seems from the outset he was determined to sledge it.
I actually like this ute. Mind you, it's not suppose to be as sporty as the Fiesta or Focus. I think if Ford offered this is in the States without that 1990s style spare wheel and Toyota rear gate, I might consider this as a daily driver.
It's not a Ute.
i'd still rather buy a dacia duster than that
Amazing review, thank you, I'm going to stay away from this SUV. 😄
ur so wise
@@Top_Gear_Clips_Central Yes, and I am wise, and to prove that, it's "U r so wise, or you're so wise, NOT ur so wise..."
@@CAPS_AMERICA lol, thanks for that, I was being sarcastic, as the EcosSport isn't the.. best car in the world
@@Top_Gear_Clips_Central Sarcastic or not, clearly you're not the brightest light in the room, you didn't understand what I wrote...
@@CAPS_AMERICA i do, ik ur trying to prove that ur wise
This "one Ford"-mission doesn't work so well apparently...
PLSSSS review the 207cc
So i suppose Mat doesn't like the EcoSport does he?!
hahah
Is this the most negative car you have reviewed I agree what you said how did they make it so bad considering the fiesta is so good
Coz it's made in Thailand...
Why not designed Ford vehicles such as large family this wonderful design and beautiful face
Why don't they spell it echosport then?
This has to be the worst car ever reviewed on Carbuyer! Surely!?
Wow that interior quality can only be described as sub-Dacia...!! Also for an "SUV" it manages to be quite impractical. You would have to know absolutely NOTHING about cars to buy one of these. Surprised Ford UK even opted to sell it here, it doesn't help the brand image one bit.
The whole EcoSport thing doesn't apply where I live in the USA, at least.
Honest review, there is nothing good about this vehicle
Bluetooth is an option? WTF
Ford disappointed me , this looks like some demo they accidentally released....
he didn't mention that it looks like hell!
Why tf sound is going left and right all the time
