2020 Ford EcoSport SE 4dr SUV (1.0L 3cyl Turbo 6A)

I have been buying cars for over 55 years, some good, some bad. With all the new technology out these days, who can complain. The SE with all its features, 33.5 mpg, what I think is a great ride & cargo space which is perfect, gives me Nothing to complain about! If you want a nice well built compact SUV...this it! By the way, this has just as good or better power as a 4 cylinder! Have had for about a year now and am getting 36 miles per gallon . Still as nice as the first day we got it.

2020 Ford EcoSport Titanium 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

I keep reading "expert" reviews that describe this car as not being worth the money. That might be true if you were paying MSRP but I don't know of anyone that is. If you buy last years model (2020 at the beginning of 2021) you will get fantastic rebates. I got a Titanium loaded with every option AWD for under 20k. I would have to say that there are only 3 negatives to this car. One is the excessive use of hard plastics on the interior, the gas mileage and the fact that the engine is a little lethargic. On the flip side, the Bang and Olufsen stereo in the Titanium is outstanding, the ride is pretty good and storage is good. When you compare what you ACTUALLY pay for what you get then it is an outstanding value. To get another brand of sub compact AWD suv you would spend at least another 5or 6K after they give all of their discounts.

When I first saw this car in the showroom, I had my doubts. It seemed small and a bit funky to me. Then I sat in it and took it for a test drive. What a difference! I fell in love with it right off. It handles well and has a surprisingly smooth ride. The 3 cylinder engine has more pep than the 4 in my Focus! Amazing vehicle! UPDATE: I first saw one of these on the showroom floor. I wasn't impressed. My first thoughts were that it probably handled like a tank and rode like a dump truck. Then I took one for a test drive. It rode smooth despite the short wheelbase and handles like a fine tuned sports car. I was blown away! Everything is conveniently located and I love the over all design inside and out. The curbside rear door was also a major selling point. When it's time for another, I hope these are still around.

2020 Ford EcoSport S 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

Have a 2018 with 120 thousand miles on it with zero problems. Like it so much we went out and bought a 2020 four wheel drive. We use these for city driving. Our Expedition we use for long trips. These are perfect for driving around town and I can get better fuel Mika I’ve then being listed. When I do go on the highway short trips I’m getting 35. Have 35 thousand miles on the 2020 eco sport and it’s doing great zero problems and it’s very good in snow.

I've been comparing compact SUVs. I've only driven the Trax and Venue..... and neither are better riding or looking than the Ecosport. I've been reading in many reviews that there's better cars for the same price, that's absolutely false! With Fords $5500 and additional $500 incentives every other Small SUV is $3K or more than the Ecosport. I have a the "S" model with 4WD and 2.0L power plant (if you can call it that) my price was $16,040 (plates and tax additional). With the Ford owner's points system I got $220 in my account that I can use for any service work like an oil change. I do hate all the electronic gizmo garbage, the start-stop crap all the lights coming on when I open a door and the fact that Ford keeps track of all your info through the Ford pass program. I'll right another review after I put 5K miles on it. Well, it's been 1 year with 2600 miles and I still believe the Ecosport was the best deal. I still hate the start/stop crap, the tranny shifting constantly and the way every light on the car comes on when you open the door! The gas mileage is OK, and the ride is a little stiff, but it travels just fine on the highway, especially when using cruise control (32mpg). I'm not saying it's better than the Encore, Trax or other small SUV's, but it's thousands less. The 2.0L is just barely OK, I would never get the 1.0L They should have made the start/stop option to be off and then if you want to use it you would have to turn it on instead of having to turn it off every time you start your car! 02/2023 update: Buying a new car in 2020 was the perfect time, to buy the same car in 21/22/23 you had to pay full MSRP or nearly it! I still hate the start/stop feature. The tranny upshifts to quick and doesn't downshift quick enough. I'm still getting 30-32mpg on the highway. The cellphone feature is hands free, voice activated and easy to setup. If the Ecosport trade in value stays solid, it was a win-win deal for me. Just went over 8K miles, everything is the same. I'm happy I bought this car when I did!
