Had the Ruby Red Escape SE and decided to down size to the Ecosport Ruby Red Titanium as all of my children are grown. I am also petite and had recent hip and shoulder surgery. The trunk opening to the side and not over my head is a real bonus to anyone with shoulder issues. I love the heated seats and steering wheel with my joint issues. Just has ice on the roads and the AWD seemed to handle just fine as I was worried as it is smaller than the escape but no issue. Rides very nice and I am so far pleased with my purchase. Getting out of tight parking spaces is a dream.

Unique little SUV

UPDATE: 10/15/2021 After 56000 miles I’ve traded in my EcoSport. It truly was a great little SUV that needed nothing other than usual maintenance, tires/oil changes. I saw this car at the dealership while my huge lemon of a 2017 Escape was getting serviced (again). I asked a few questions and wanted to go for a test drive and I fell in love! It drove similar to my escape but was just smaller in stature. I have almost 11,000 miles on it now and it’s been great! It’s done well for its size in the snow and my only real complaint I have so far is it didn’t come with heated side mirrors which is a problem living in Minnesota and unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be able to be added on. If you’re in the market for a small SUV on a budget the Ecosport is a great choice.

So far very very happy with my little SUV/Crossover. I love everything about it. I am 57 and have been through many cars. Every car was purchase for a need, sport car when young, Van when starting a family, Big SUV when the kids were older, even a midlife car for when I didnt want to be as old as I am getting. This little car is everything I need. I commute a long distance daily, gas mileage pretty good (always want better) comfort for distance driving, tech is good in car (still figuring everything out, so far pretty simple). I really really like this car and will keep it for a long time. No need for anything different, it has all I need. For the first time, I dont even mind paying the payments on it. I got a great deal on the base model. Will Keep. Still loving my little car after 6 months of owning...

I can't find a real con yet. It out-rides much larger cars on our rough roads in northern Vermont. Good price, good mileage, don't know about Ford service yet or warranty work. I'm 6' and have no trouble getting in or out and the vehicle has surprising road clearance. If the 4wd drive works fine next year, I'd be surprised if it isn't a very good snow car. New: Used it in snow and ice, the 4wd worked just fine on some steep, icy slopes.

Fun car

The biggest negative I hear about this vehicle is it’s slow acceleration. It isn’t a race car, that is true, but it accelerates at a good steady pace. I just know I won’t be passing a slow car on a two lane road unless I have lots of clearance. The car is comfortable and is at a good height. I turned in my leased Fusion Hybrid and I’m finding the EcoSport to be so much more fun although the gas economy isn’t nearly as good. I actually enjoy the smallness of the vehicle because it is easier to maneuver and steer. My only complaint is that there is no CD player in the vehicle. Nevertheless, it has enough ports that a portable CD player can be plugged in. I think I will enjoy this vehicle for many years.
