A Fun and sporty around town car.

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.

More than I expected

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.

Cute Car But No Spare Tire

The Ecosport does not come with a spare tire. Ford Pass was of at little help when we had a flat tire. They sent put a wrecker at our expense. I guess most people don't change tires anymore.

For the money, it's a decent SUV! I got the 2021 Ford Ecosport S 4WD, version! It has all that I need,...to get to work and back! The wife has the top-of-the-line, Titanium edition! Her's is a 2019 rendition,...bought new! That's the overall, BEST one,...especially for towing, and trips!
