Economical...I easily hit 30mpg highway and smooth ride all the way. Pop into sport mode and it kicks up a notch too. Plenty of room for riders. I got just about all features and worth it. Handles nicely, no complaints.

I bought a brand new 2020 SUV ecosport from Weber Ford and Granite City Illinois. I'm six foot tall and I have plenty of legroom I even had to move the seat up it's fantastic I love I'm surrounded by airbags in case somebody hits me or something does happen beautiful design lots of stuff on the interior I'm just so happy with this vehicle.

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

If your like me you read every review 50 times before you pull the trigger. Rarely do these experts actually review from a consumers perspective just an artificial world of non comparables. Like many real consumers I'm in my late 50's and I've had at least 20 different cars in my life (probably more) and I can honestly say value for the dollar is superb. Nobody pays list, so take that off the table, getting a 2020 Ecosport titanium with 4WD and the 2 liter engine for around $22K is a steal. This is a fun little peppy car, ready to park, just enough cargo, leather heated seats and steering wheel, bang and olufsen sound system... Dare I go on! Anything comparable in the Japanese realm will push you well into the $30's. The Ford apple car play or Android auto is seamless. Is it a jaguar, land rover, BMW, or mercedes... Nope but that's not the buyer, and to be completely honest, it won't eat you alive for service like those manufacturers. If you want a really good runabout that's fun, looks unique and is reasonable on gas... You just read about it!

This vehicle gets terrible press and I don't get it. I have the Eco Sport with 2.0 and AWD SE. Love the heated seats, sunroof, and the infotainment is great. AWD is a must in the NW and it goes everywhere without issue. Handles great and fits anywhere you'd need to park. Turns on a dime and has great visibility. Super happy with this purchase and would buy one again in a heartbeat. With all the discounts it was less expensive than most entry cars. I've been averaging 28 mpg with 50/50 split of hwy and city driving. No it won't win any races and it is not a luxury suv but it is totally worth a look and the money.

I love my eco sport. I have the 2021 in gray exterior tan interior. Driving is easy and sporty. Great for in town, school, work, shopping. I have driven several 4 to 6 hour road trips, vehicle is very comfortable. Its drawback on highway driving is the engine power, it struggles through the mountains, but not enough to be a problem. This car is really made for town driving and has a lot of storage space for errands, etc. the seats fold down completely. Gas mileage is a bit low for such a small car. Loved the price (bought new), and driving it is just fun. Very satisfied with this car. Added 2 yrs later - still love this car. The only thing that has been an issue is the area between the windshield and the front doors. It is difficult to see in that spot. A severe blind spot. In order to see I have to really lean to the right or the left of it to proceed.

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.

EcoSport Titanium

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.

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!
