My gf loves this car. It's so simple and easy to drive in the city. Decent road trip car. Not at all for enthusiast drivers but honestly I was impressed!

@thestonetable 2 года назад

I really love this car. It’s just fun being in a car that everyone hates and doesn’t get, but in 20 years they’ll be saying, “remember the Ecosport. They were great!”. I have a 2018 model with 26,000 miles on it. Sounds like the day I bought it and handles great too. Almost 3 years old and no major service. Helps that my commute to work is 1.5 miles.

@616civicmt8 Год назад

@@bongodave13 It’s not BS. The exhausts rot off after 3-4 years and require new catalytic converters at the same time. Transmissions routinely need to be replaced, the only good part about this vehicle is the underpowered 2.0 that they’ve been using for a long time. Just because yours hasn’t been a pile of garbage (yet) doesn’t mean they’re amazing vehicles.

@Me-eb3wv 4 месяца назад

I love just how simple and cheap it looks. As much as I love enthusiast sports cars and high end luxury cars, I have a soft spot for cheap, compact, boring ‘NPC’ cars because these are the cars you can put guilt & stress free miles because you never have to worry about loosing money the more you drive it, having it get stolen and if it gets a scratched who cares!!

@ponygt6629 3 года назад

@@devenmellor There is lot more to HP in modern cars, see this Ecosport is a 4WD one, does ur Civic have that ? This has a traditional TC AT, not a weeeeeeeeee...CVT. See Speed is relative, no one is buying an SUV for Speed. This is a crossover for someone who does not want to slide and dive into a car but rather walk in and walk out of a car. Add to it , it has 4wd its safer at snow and wet conditions. The 2.0 engine here is mated to a lazy 6F250 TC AT which is solely trying to be on safe side of things, balance torque with efficiency . This machine has 1 BIG downside, ie its price. If this thing was priced say between 15k USD to 20k USD, this would ve become a sensible choice, as of now when 1 can get a decently loaded Ford Maverick at 25-28k USD no one would prefer this. Ford simply messed up the pricing with this thing, otherwise this is a decent package

@ponygt6629 3 года назад

@@clover7359 I do agree, but 2 be frank the price is the biggest issue, this must ve been priced between 15-20k USD, then nobody would ve complained about its interiors, its speed or anything, as it stands 18-28k is way too much for an Ecosport

@thestonetable 2 года назад

@Juli-hp6hm 2 года назад

@Dave C. I know, but I've heard that many Americans don't like this engine

@thestonetable 2 года назад

@@Juli-hp6hm that’s because many Americans believe more power is essential. The 3 cylinder engine also has turbo to get it up to speed and the 4 is just a naturally aspirated regular one. So, if the turbo goes on the 3, then you might as well walk. Also, the 4 comes with some extra creature comforts here. What I wish they would’ve included in the US version is the spare tire on the rear swing door. I have a 4 cylinder myself, but that’s because I got a great deal on it. All and all.. they are great little cars. They are also the only car the Ford made in 2018 (my year) that didn’t have any recalls. I think that’s says something about its design. I hope to have it for many more years. Happy New Year Juli5242!!!

Here in India, the Ecosport doesn't even make 120hp and doesn't get 4WD

@bongodave13 Год назад

The 2.0 would probably be adequate in FWD, but it only came with 4WD, and the extra power gets sucked up by the driveline, making it only a little faster than the 1.0. All the same, I have an '18 SES, and it's a great little winter car. Has the cold weather package. So comfy and capable in the snow.

Ugly, underpowered (esp. the 3 cyl FWD), mediocre efficiency, really doesn't stand out at all. If you want a good all around package, you want a HR-V. For a sporty drive, get a CX-30.
