2018 Ecosport Nothing but trouble. Power Train, Thermostat, Exhaust / Gas smell through the vents at low speeds, terrible gas mileage, no power, dead space in accelerator pedal, radio resets to AM constantly, no spare tire, cramped, nowhere to set anything down. Don't be fooled by it's cute appearance, especially the lightning blue ones. You will have nothing but trouble.

Worst Car

Worst car ever! First time ever bought a Ford would never buy again!! Had the car for 3 months and out of the 3 months I had my car maybe a total of 3 weeks! Spent more time in the service dept than with me! It has a total of 5 hood switches and the alarm still goes off and instead of fixing the problem all I was told was don't set your alarm! Seriously!! Next problems with air conditioner call to tell them about it (mind you at time trying to get extended warranty and no return calls to get it) told them AC should not go out after 3 yrs since it was hardly used and their response was "It could go out 1 week to 6 months after you buy the car no guarantee!" Are you kidding me! Like I said I know from 1st hand it is the worst car ever and it is on the top 10 list of worst cars of 2022!

I have had my Ecosport for a little over a month and I love it. With the rear seat folded and the floor level there is plenty of room for flea market finds. It you like to burn rubber from every light this is not the car for you but it is no turtle to drive either. Averaging about 23 miles per gallon in city driving with 2.0 AWD. It rides fairly nice for a short wheelbase vehicle and interior is functional and the features easy to navigate. The biggest con so far is front visibility. It is difficult to see the front corner when parking in the garage. I wish the gas tank was a little larger than 13.7 gallons. Nothing but compliments from friends and co workers. Definitely a keeper! Update... a year into ownership and the Ecosport is still rock solid. Plenty of space for flea market finds. Went through the snow with no issues. Even after taking a mileage hit in the winter still averaging 23 mpg Update II. Two and a half years of ownership the dealer made us an offer we couldn’t refuse. In today’s market trade in value is sky high. Replacement is a 2022 Kia Sportage The Ecosport had many nice convenience features that the Kia doesn’t however that is cancelled by the tons of extra room in the Sportage. The Ecosport is a great urban SUV, perfect for around town errands. Anything more than that it’s deficiency’s start to show. Ford make a big mistake in their lack of marketing and sadly after 2022 the Ecosport will disappear. If you have a change to buy one it is a good deal
