Ecosport 4 Month Review

If you want a flashy, fast, and small CUV, then the Ecosport is not for you. It is a basic car that gets you from point A to point B without any fuss. I find the sitting position comfortable and the view all around is excellent. No problems to date with almost 4k miles. 6 speed auto shifts smoothly and preferable to CVT's found in similar class of vehicles. The only downside is no spare tire but inflator kit. Ford usually offers generous rebates and financing on the Ecosport as it's not a top seller. An excellent choice given the incentives. Update: After almost 1 year and almost 9,000 miles nothing has changed. The Ecosport does its job in a no nonsense manner. Maintenance has only been oil changes so far. Update 2: At 15,800 miles the vehicle was sold to Carvana. No issues, the Ecosport ran great. Highly recommended for basic transportation.

Does not compare to an Escape

We have had this car for my daughter for about 1 year. She only has 10,000KM on the car and it's already been in the shop twice for electrical issues. The gas consumption is not different from our Escape Titanium, thinking ecosport might be a better value we traded her Escape. BIG MISTAKE! We cannot wait to get out of this lease.

Over the hill in Oregon

Don't believe all the so-called "experts." We purchased a 2020 Ecosport from Avis Car Sales and couldn't be happier. We live atop an 800 high with a 16 degree incline. The Ecosport flies up the hill better than we have owned in the 33 years we have lived here. It is a comfortable ride with every possible option. Would certainly consider another one when it's time to retire our second vehicle.

Great little SUV

I bought my 2020 ecosport titanium AWD last fall with 10000kms on it. It was a dealer service vehicle so I purchased it at a steeply discounted price. I’ve now put 5500 more kilometres on it without issue. The biggest complaint I have with it is the tiny gas tank. I feel like I am constantly filling it up but I do average about 500kms a week in it. Second issue is a noisy rear end especially on the passenger side. I will have to have it checked out. I do a fair amount of highway driving and it’s fine on the hills and highway and great in the snow.
