I bought a 2020 SES model with 45k for around $18,000USD. If you want a newish car with low mileage, AWD, and nice features for under 20k, this is THE BEST OPTION on the used market!!!!!! I looked at many others but they were either too outdated, had too many miles, or too base for me. This is the perfect balance of value for a used car
If you plan to keep it long term, change the fluids in the transmission, PTU and rear differential every 30,000 miles. The engine is solid, but the drivetrain is "sealed for life," which means about 100,000 miles. Spend the money to keep the drivetrain fluids changed, and you're looking at 300,000.
I just bought my 2019 and I love it. Perfect for me and my husband who are empty nesters! Mine had 18k miles and was listed at $18k. Love all the features, heated seats, heated steering wheel, moon roof, the list goes on. Compact and smart looking!
I've got a 2021. I'm pretty happy with it... I was at a community garage sale and an elderly woman loved how the tailgate opened sideways. My 5' tall wife also prefers the tailgate.
Thanks! My dealer gave me this as a loaner car while he waits for parts to fix the Kia Soul he sold me last year. I've been surprised and some of the quirks of this car, but I was flummoxed about how to open up the back. THAT'S what I clicked on the video for. If I'm going to have to be using this car for a few days I need to know more about how to use it.
Change the oil with good full synthetic every 5,000 miles. Change the drivetrain fluids every 30,000. Transmission, PTU and rear differential. It will last for decades.
@@scrambler69-xk3kvI’m not sure I just bought the tire and wheel now I feel so much better I love my car I have had it three years this month just hit 10,000 miles everywhere I go is really close it’s still like brand new never a hiccup
I have a 22. Heated seats etc. The moon roof will probably never get used because I never cared about them but it had it so whatever. It handles great, it's great in snow. The tailgate opening sideways is unique. I would say park away from people and you won't have the issue of being annoyed when you can't open it easily.
A lot of people shit on this car, looks especially. I really don’t think it looks bad at all for a compact Crossover. Maybe the haters will keep the used prices low at least.
I bought an '18 SES with only 13,000 miles on it and I've had it for just over a year. It's my winter car. The used market was crazy then, but it was the exact model I wanted, with some dealer-added stuff like the hood guard on the car you show. It is an excellent winter car. With heated seats, steering, front wipers, mirrors and rear defrost, I'm always cozy even on the coldest days. The 4WD is great. It handles deep snow and dirt roads like a champ. With the sport suspension and paddle shifters, it's surprisingly quick and nimble in those conditions, too. It's comfortable going 75 on the freeway, and handles city driving very well. Power is adequate, if not impressive. I average around 26 mpg in mixed driving. Not great, but not terrible. If you don't want a big vehicle, but you want something fun to drive that can handle some challenging terrain, consider one of these. If you want to tow up to 2000 lbs., get this, not something with a CVT.
I bought my 2020 ECOSPORT SE for $26,565 used with 13k miles and the oil pump got recalled, stopped working and the engine seized. Currently been in the shop for 3 1/2 months still waiting
I recently bought a Ford echo sport titanium fully loaded with 4wd, really nice car I love it my guest ion is what is the difference between a AWD and a4wd in this vehicle and how does it work
This vehicle has a front wheel drive based AWD system, no matter what it says on the tailgate. It behaves like a full-time 4WD when accelerating from a stop, then switches to front wheel drive when up to speed.
Hell NO! I bought a 2019 Titanium 2.0 liter engine in November of 2022 with 56k miles and I started having problems with it in September of 2023 (AC compressor failed, VVT solenoids stopped working, MAF, crankshaft sensors, O2 Sensors got stuck, fuel injector was failing) at around 63k miles. In April of 2024 at 68k miles, my fuel pump failed and it started to stall. I need new O2 sensors and now I have an EVAP leak at almost 70k miles! 😠😠 I HATE FORD!
Please talk about the A automatic feature when you come to a stop in traffic, can you have it on all the time? Also, break down the cargo area and put the back seats down fully, also, can you put in an address to navigate to. Thanks.
If I had to list every potential problem that every vehicle that I reviewed could have, I wouldn't be doing reviews anymore, it would be an entirely different channel. I've never once forced anyone to buy anything. If this isn't for you, you can look at whatever suits you. If you have concerns about a particular vehicle's reliability, by all means, research it and decide for yourself if it's worth the risk for you.

The only thing we put in a boot is a foot. Sounds so stupid I know it is a common term around the world and I am so glad we do not use it. If you look at pictures of very early American cars you will see that from the factory, they had what is commonly known as a steamer truck attached to the rear of the car. Thus, the name trunk just continued on over the years. makes so much more sense.

Most of the time you are parking at a grocery store or mall. How often do you parralell park these days. So many reviewers bring this up. You know what you are in for when you buy this vehicle. We do not need to hear this Damn.

They must meet very strict crash tests as well as bumper crash test so may result in different front and rear styling. Offset front crash tests are very hard on a vehicle structure, rollover and side impact standards are something else our vehicles must pass.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 ///////////

81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75
