2020 FordEcoSport SES For Sale

Almost 3 months of ownership an 1500 miles driven an my impression of the new Ford EcoSport is so far very positive. Cocerns of Fit & Finish an general Quality Control from a vehicle built in India is not an issue whatsoever..Quality materials, comfort an Value are all in place. The Value is in the Base S Trim Model for 21K. Unless you need a Power Sunroof, Push Button Ignition an SYNC 3, this is the way to go. The EcoSport is (not) a 27K or 28K Vehicle no matter how many bells an Whistles you choose to add. It looks like a Baby Escape with as much if not more ground clearance. Interior layout an quality an comfort of seating an materials used is excellent for a Base Trim Vehicle. I actually prefer the EcoSport over my other Vehicle a 2017 Honda HR-V in LX Trim! 3 gripes though. NO Emergency Spare Tire (Donut) just a Tire Inflator Kit (worthless) or order the Ugly Full Size Spare mounted on the Rear Hinged Hatch Door. No CD Player in any Audio System an Sirius Satellite Module not available in Base S Trim. Even a 11K Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio includes the Sirius/XM feature! Fuel Economy also is a bit disappointing for a Vehicle with a 3 cyl engine an only 1 ltr. displacement. Rear Seat Legroom is a bit challenging too. Small storage area behind rear seats is barely adequate unless one or both of the Rear Seat are folded down. All in all, for a 19K New CUV, a like it!

At 60+ this car is comfortable to get into and out of and a hoot to drive. I don't race nor off road adventure. I look for comfort and reliable tech - this car has it. I have the Titanium model with all the bells and etc. I have the 2.0l engine so it has enough get up and go. I commute 84+ miles 5 days a week. I traded in a Fiesta Titanium 5 speed manual for this car and am most satisfied (and I liked my Fiesta). @45mph I get 35 mpg at 25, 35, 60 or 70 mph I get 26-28 mpg; still not bad for a 4wd at this price point. I like the side opening door, but wish it had an interior handle to help it close as the ext surface/contour is too smooth. I have an Escape and a F250, so all I need this car to be is what it is and not something else; it meets the mark, A+. I would buy again, every time!!!

I leased this car in May of 2019, I had a Jeep Patriot , the car performs exacty as I expected, I travel all over the Adirondacks and it has performed as it should,with confidence. The bottom is higher than the jeep patriot and motors thru the snow easily, and I have driven it thru many snow storms, its all on the driver. It does have comfortable seats for a mid economy car. My skis fit in the vehicle and its enough for groceries and gardening. Its not a backwoods rider but it does well on any surface . I am super happy with the Car. I will probably buy it after the lease.
