Great little SUV

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

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.

Amazing 4x4 for the size

I recently took a trip in a 2021 model s 4x4 and was extremely impressed at the ride and comfort. I am 6 foot 7 and fit just fine. The 4x4 out performed Jeeps on a mountian pass great ground clearance and plenty of power to pull itself over rocks and large ruts.

I just bought my ecosport se in November and here are a list of things I have noticed/concerned about the vehicle. I drive about 25 minutes one way for my employer. I live about 30 minutes outside the nearest large city. I have to fill my vehicle at least 3.5 times A WEEK. That’s 10 trips (both ways) and the two trips into town for groceries and small errands. I have never spent so much time or money on fuel in a small vehicle like this. The engine is very loud! It’s nerve racking to think I’m driving a vehicle that sounds like it has engine problems already. I’ve had it looked at by two ford dealers near me and both scratch their head while telling me it’s normal??? I was told by the previous owner the transmission has already been replaced….. WHAT?? It’s barely 5 years old! The safety features in this thing are of the past! Blind spot galore with this ecosport se. the limited room for passengers, lack of security in the cabin and amount of blind spots set this vehicle up for dangerous situations. ‘Small repairs’ don’t exist. This thing is so compact that you will pay more in labor than for the actual job itself. They spend so much time removing and locating things under the hood before they can diagnose or even fix your problem. Word to the wise, I haven’t had my vehicle a year and I am already selling it. If you have kids, drive for work or consider safety when purchasing a vehicle; this is not the car for you. Please make sure you are doing your research and actually looking all over online before impulse buying! Good luck to those stuck in their 7 year loan. I feel sorry for you, truly.

It was a pleasant surprise. It has more room inside and more power than I expected. Also the price on the 2020 was great. It’s a terrific car fir a young driver.
