The Fiesta is ok, if you didn't suffer the years of transmissions issues, the model we tested had them and it was a horrible driving experience. We purchesed an Ecosport because we wanted something like an Escape, but a little smaller, a little cheaper and a little more modern with it's tech, it serves our needs perfectly. Tech like the built in 120v outlet, upgraded audio, lighted usb, I like the raised tablet feel of the infotainment and the ambient lighting. It has all the cargo space we need ad we dont have to worry about passengers often but I fit back there fine long as the seat isn't all the way back, both leg and head room.
These two guys are obviously Honda fans. Technically, the Ford has been out since 2003 and I’m pretty sure the Honda hasn’t. Also, Jeep has a swing gate as well and I haven’t seen anyone complaining about that. Lastly, when he sat in the second seat he had the front seat all the way back and reclined the front seat as well. Honda makes a good CVT, but it’s still a CVT.
There is no way that the EcoSport will only get 21 mpg. Did they bother to press the reset button before testing? There are 2 reasons why the EcoSport's mileage is not the greatest: 1) AWD effects mileage compared to FWD, 2) EcoSport has a traditional torque converter transmission, which is much more reliable than a CVT or DCT, but mileage and acceleration are worse. The EcoSport is not a dog or ugly. The styling does not resemble a Ford Edge. EcoSport actually resembles a shrunken down 2013-2019 Ford Escape.
Love my 2020 Ecosport! Lots of nice features for the money, comfortable, and fun to drive. Really don't understand all the hate. What I hate is a CVT transmission 😝
@@LordWinter Fiesta is a cheap economy hatchback. Cross overs are far more comfortable and practical. That's why most car companies are seeing sales dropping on their sedans. You can fit shit a lot easier in an ecosport or HRV than a fiesta.
@@jakjakez7874 Not much more than most of the competition. Depends what you buy. CRV is higher than the escape, but the escape is higher in price than an equinox if I'm right. Then insurance will be lower on a Ford compared to a Honda or VW. At the end, it will balance out.
I like the HR-V, but I don't like CVT transmissions. They lost me when they dropped the manual transmission. If they put in a real automatic transmission, with gears in it, then I may consider it.
Are you serious?!? Hahh. Will you really buy an AMERICAN car in front of a Japanese car!? Lmao. That's messed up. That hrv will definitely last 15 years longer that that FORD. It might be slightly cheaper but after a few years its repairs and flaws will make you bankrupt. LOL. *TOYOTA, HONDA* > Ford, Chevrolet.
Gf used to have a 2019 Ecosport and that thing was so under powered. That thing would not go past 55mph on a steep hill. She traded it in for a 2019 HR-V.. Total difference. It accelerates much quicker when merging on the highway and doesn't struggle one bit up steep hills.
I rented an EcoSport and was shocked at how bad the fuel economy was for such a small 4 cylinder car. At 75 mph I got only 22 mpg. My Grand Cherokee gets 28 mpg with a V6 and 2000 lbs more weight.
Bob Wilson me too, however I’ve seen a Ecosport with a trunk mounted spare tire kit, and I love older cars because of the nostalgia, so a side hinged tailgate and trunk mounted spare tire is kinda cool to me!
That EcoSport shouldn’t exist. It is so old and cheap looking. I don’t understand why anyone would buy it unless they needed something reliable and got an awesome discount. I would still buy a certified CX-3, HR-V, Kia Soul, etc.
Hunter Dugas I don't know, the Ecosport has better ground clearance, better towing capacity, so it's kind of like the truck in the group? Not the comfy, kind of slow, but when you need something done, it's there.
Ok, how ridiculous is it for a 6 -foot guy to be reviewing the back seat of a SUBCOMPACT vehicle. It's not made for you. If they made the back seat much bigger it wouldn't be a subcompact.
I can't call the EcoSport a "Compliance car". "Me too" maybe? This is emblematic of a big problem with Detroit (shorthand for FORD, GM, and FCA/CHRYSLER). They do not lead, and they do not follow closely, or else the EcoSport would have been much better.
Why was that guy ragging on the Ford so much. Who are you to say what's "prettier?" I do appreciate the review. But, I much prefer the guy who reviewed the HONDA. i'm sure the other guy is talented, but consider trying to "not" try so hard. You are likeable. No need to go beyond that.
Sami, you are clearly passionate about your work, and I applaud you for that. But most respectfully, please consider working with a speech pathologist if you are not already doing so. Your current manner of speaking, especially when you are revved-up about a topic can be very distracting. Thank you for your enthusiastic reviews!
Presto Bizmo? Jub Jub? Who is this guy? I think he just wanted to say Presto but then thought he was saying Pepto-bismal. Like the HR-V makes you sick?
HR-V is a way better car, I don’t know why Ford even bring the Eco Sport here in the U.S. Ford need to back to the drawing ✍️ board,and bring something competitive.
A surly Sebastian is the best Sebastian especially when he loses "rock, paper, scissors" to Sami, and is forced to endure the EcoSport (or Yecch-oSport).
The black decal on the eco ford is a despair attempt to detract from the terrible proportions of the compact CUV. If there is one reason to purchase such a small vehicle you’d expect the fuel efficiency to be the payoff. Ford must have tried really hard to get such poor numbers from such a trim package. The Fiesta was more successful (expect from that auto transmission) than an Eco Sport will every be as its replacement or even as a CUV. With the Honda priced around the same, there is no question which is better.
Sebastian, your aesthetic assesment of the Ford Ecosport sucks. Not everyone needs a car that seems out of a sport racing, actually I think the Ecosport is so cute، it looks like a character out of angry birds or sonic games. The H-RV? It has no personality at all, this is what I dislike about the Honda cars in general.
Houssem Diaph you're trippin the ecosport has no character. it doesnt even give you full leather seats lmao or led lights anywhere. you sound dumb tryna say hondas have no personality 😂
@@MiguelLopez-rf8lk really! I'm speaking about aesthetics, and here in my country, we have it with leather and LED lightning or course. The global version must be different, so the Honda's as here they are plasticky as hell. Anyway, I don't like their lines.
Ha,ha..Isn’t that Will Wheaton.The Wesley Crusher character the actor in Star Trek the next Generation in the early 90”.Wow he falling really far as an actor.Now he doing cars reviews.
You guys really need to hires real professionals to do this show, not just some amateur who act like 12 years old child. This mean you, Sebastian. You’re trying too hard to be funny.
Are you serious, Ford deserves a comparison with Honda. Ford is for those who don’t know A about cars. Specially eco sport productions. The worst car ever made by Ford. Specially Asia quality.
Dennis Xu hey if ur sayig u can get this car for 20k with awd the yea go right ahead but they are saying under30k! Thats way to muc i know they probably mean 28 29k
@@gigi9467 The Honda Fit LX in Canada is about C$22k. HRV is about C$27k. Both include destination fees. With the HRV, you're getting AWD and about 10 more inches of room inside. I don't think that justifies a C$5k gap, but it's way better than spending $10k on chains
We rented an ecosport last year in europe and holy shit that thing sucked... it was leaking oil, the transmission didnt know what to do and it had horrible interior.
I like the HR-V, but I don't like CVT transmissions. They lost me when they dropped the manual transmission. If they put in a real automatic transmission, with gears in it, then I may consider it.
My 2019 ecosport is nice to drive. It’s lot cheaper compared to HRV. No complaint so far.
Me too. I have a Ecosport as well and it's been a great car.
I have one too, I like it but it’s a bit under powered for my taste.

The vehicles and the title screen don’t match. That isn’t a Honda Passport, it’s an HRV
Thanks for the note. This should be fixed now. It's likely just a YT caching issue.
Still says Passportin the Thumbnail. But yeah we are just humans and sometimes we make mistakes.
I’d much rather hear more facts than opinion.

Swing out hatch is plus for us short people

almost all autos are now CVTs... just ask your dealer.
and not the sales department but the wrench turners.
Hondas cvts are better than their older automatics
The Ford can tow 2000 lbs. It has a torque converter.
I'd get the ecosport

Based on what? Their opinion. I find both nice in their own way.
Who in the right mind would buy an Ecosport in North America? You guys have so so many options to choose from...
The HR-V looks horrible. Especially with those wheels. The rear end and profile is probably the worst part. Oh and not to mention, the CVT.
What happened to this channel? It’s used to be big in Cars review on YT ?
Lmao @ 2:29
Damn! He changed my mind.
Why not a CX-3 instead?
Came here from your website. Y’all need to fix the power specs on the EcoSport. You have it listed as way more powerful than it is.
Thanks. It's fixed as well!
