- The Ford EcoSport is a very small SUV with decent equipment. When it was new, there were other competitors worth considering, mostly because of the price-point, but as a used vehicle it's really found its place in the market.

I bought a 2020 SES model with 45k for around $18,000USD. If you want a newish car with low mileage, AWD, and nice features for under 20k, this is THE BEST OPTION on the used market!!!!!! I looked at many others but they were either too outdated, had too many miles, or too base for me. This is the perfect balance of value for a used car
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
I've got a 2021. I'm pretty happy with it... I was at a community garage sale and an elderly woman loved how the tailgate opened sideways. My 5' tall wife also prefers the tailgate.
My mom just bought one and is 5'2 and also loves the side door, which is perfect for being parked in the garage.
@@solsticemeows I don't know why this vehicle gets so much hate. Unless they are talking about the 1.0L...
@@stephenm8100
1.6L FWD or 2.0 AWD
I like that they all came with AMT and not CVT. The 1.6L has a manual option too if you prefer.
@@42luke93 2.0 AWD. ... Two things I would prefer. Turbo deasle like available in India and stick shift.
Every ford vehicle 2017 and on that has sync 3 has apple car play and android auto, it doesn’t show up till you connect the usb cable.
I bought my 2020 brand new and still love it the only thing I don’t like is there is no spare or temporary tire
But even a spare tyre wouldn't be any good, its a spare wheel (with tyre) thats needed.
@@wolvoman1 already got it and feel much better
Can you buy the kit that includes the tire/ wheel a jack and a lug wrench like you can for Hyundai vehicles?
@@wolvoman1 here in the states that is a given when you say spare tire.
@@scrambler69-xk3kvI’m not sure I just bought the tire and wheel now I feel so much better I love my car I have had it three years this month just hit 10,000 miles everywhere I go is really close it’s still like brand new never a hiccup
My mom bought a Ford eco sport for 16k it was a great deal and we are the first person to own the car
Just bought a2020 5 days ago with only 5000 miles on it. Seems good, still learning .
I bought an '18 SES with only 13,000 miles on it and I've had it for just over a year. It's my winter car. The used market was crazy then, but it was the exact model I wanted, with some dealer-added stuff like the hood guard on the car you show.
It is an excellent winter car. With heated seats, steering, front wipers, mirrors and rear defrost, I'm always cozy even on the coldest days. The 4WD is great. It handles deep snow and dirt roads like a champ. With the sport suspension and paddle shifters, it's surprisingly quick and nimble in those conditions, too.
It's comfortable going 75 on the freeway, and handles city driving very well. Power is adequate, if not impressive. I average around 26 mpg in mixed driving. Not great, but not terrible.
If you don't want a big vehicle, but you want something fun to drive that can handle some challenging terrain, consider one of these. If you want to tow up to 2000 lbs., get this, not something with a CVT.
Does it have remote start?
@@53andME Mine doesn't, but it was an option.
Does it always have sensors problems?
@@bankheehoo6018 None so far. It's been solid.
@@bongodave13It can be done with the ford pass app
I have a titanium, it kicks ass and is very lightweight and maneuverable.
Do you encourage me to buy a 2016 model with 33000 miles petrol engine
@@bhotsotsovivy3228 Yes. Get it.
Highly recommend to update the to the latest Sync 3, which allows Apple CarPlay. This is an amazing improvement if you have an iPhone.
4:24 The real reason behind the trunk opening mechanism is because, outside the US, there is a real full-sized spare tire on the trunk door, not that stupid "tire repair kit".
I’m in the US if I buy one, I plan on buying a full-size spare tire, even if it takes up most of the cargo area.
@@auxmike718 the latinamerican version has the spare atteched to the outsider of the trunk door. So no cargo space is spent.
Great review, very informative.
Agree, a fantastic unbiased interview. The Ford EcoSport is an underrated vehicle.
I LOVE my 2019 Eco sport Titanium !!! She handles snow like a champ.. I only have 1 dislike and that's the back hatch if a car parks close you cant open it..... My husband doesn't like it because its to small for him.
I know what you mean. How ever my 5 foot tall wife prefers how it opens sideways.
It is small which takes getting used to.
Beautiful design 💙
If I didn’t see your face, I would have known it’s you by your voice. 😹 😹 🤣
I recently bought a Ford echo sport titanium fully loaded with 4wd, really nice car I love it my guest ion is what is the difference between a AWD and a4wd in this vehicle and how does it work
Awd all wheels spin 4wd 2 wheels spin
This vehicle has a front wheel drive based AWD system, no matter what it says on the tailgate. It behaves like a full-time 4WD when accelerating from a stop, then switches to front wheel drive when up to speed.
thinking of getting one used for just going back and forth to work. super cheap on the used market
very good review,thanks
Love mine
Ford ecosport Automatic version has Very poor pick up after apply a sudden break(delay response).
Gear handle material start to cracks after 3 years.(Rubber material).starting failure due to Push button, door switch, hand rest material start to comeout &Stirring rack sound after 70000kms.
Mileage is poor in cities rides, Comfortable on highways rides with limited rest (300kms). Good A/C , i had one since 2016 Nov,Ecosport Automatic 1.5lt,
It doesn't have forward collision mitigation/auto emergency braking on any trim or year.
It doesnt have an arm rest?
It’s an Escape MINI
What about 1.0 L EcoBoost engine problems ?
If I had to list every potential problem that every vehicle that I reviewed could have, I wouldn't be doing reviews anymore, it would be an entirely different channel. I've never once forced anyone to buy anything. If this isn't for you, you can look at whatever suits you. If you have concerns about a particular vehicle's reliability, by all means, research it and decide for yourself if it's worth the risk for you.
@@PeterLoweOne Fair enough! I was recently looking at a decently used GT Line Ecosport for a good Price on Autotrader, but some research on the engine put me down. And then your video popped up as a recomenndation!
Get the 2.0L 4 cylinder!
You get AWD, too.
We have the three cylinder and love it !
the car does have Android auto and apple carplay you have to hook the cable up for it to show up on the screen but it does
That's what I've been told. Thanks.
Hi ford ecosport 2018 ses when can we use tiptronic D or S?
Does the back glass window lift up ? Like the mazda tribute had both options
No
It doesn't have much horsepower. Any previous or current owner that can speak to this?
Hell NO! I bought a 2019 Titanium 2.0 liter engine in November of 2022 with 56k miles and I started having problems with it in September of 2023 (AC compressor failed, VVT solenoids stopped working, MAF, crankshaft sensors, O2 Sensors got stuck, fuel injector was failing) at around 63k miles. In April of 2024 at 68k miles, my fuel pump failed and it started to stall. I need new O2 sensors and now I have an EVAP leak at almost 70k miles! 😠😠 I HATE FORD!
Made in India engine 3 cylinder engine is from Romania.
Thank you..
Does this and other models have a CVT Transmission or a Traditional Transmissions?
Traditional six speed auto.
Got 2021 ecosport SE in $19000 with only 12000 miles on it.
Im thinking about buying a 2021 SES. Has anyone taken it on a road trip? My son js 6 feet tall and would be in the back seat the whole way and I'm wondering if he would be comfortable for hours of riding.
Yep. It would be just fine.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

is this car is still availabe .../
i am form Nepal this car was discontinude from a year in our country
They stopped making them.
Mine has Apple car play
Definitely has Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. You have to connect your phone with a usb cord for it to show up.
Got a 2019 Titanium with 40k for
$10500 awesome car except the
no spare- just stupid!
My ses cross 500k this month
I just picked up a '21 Titanium. What was your strategy for getting it to 500k?
I would like sort of station wagon version with conventional trunk/boot door. This car quite short with poor boot space. But its not all bad as interior is ok and its available 4x4.
The only thing we put in a boot is a foot. Sounds so stupid I know it is a common term around the world and I am so glad we do not use it. If you look at pictures of very early American cars you will see that from the factory, they had what is commonly known as a steamer truck attached to the rear of the car. Thus, the name trunk just continued on over the years. makes so much more sense.
Hi
My 2018 with 1900 miles was a lemon from the very start. I would not recommend it
Too small for me, but will attract many
Will work if you have a small family, I'm 6ft, I have plenty of space
Are you too fat or something?
It not big but king off the on city
1st first
Most of the time you are parking at a grocery store or mall. How often do you parralell park these days. So many reviewers bring this up. You know what you are in for when you buy this vehicle. We do not need to hear this Damn.
I parallel park all the time in Fredericton. Lots of people who live in cities (where these vehicles are popular) parallel park often. Sounds like this review wasn't for you. I'm ok with that. I hope you find what you're looking for.
Wet belt, stay away. These engines are already the subject of a lawsuit.
Do not buy it even for free.
Post the proof buddy
@@runfargetlost991 my parents have the three cylinder 2019 there is indeed a recall notice they received but the belt tensioner part won’t be available till 2025. He’s not lying it’s true.
I don't know why American versions of Ford are made in a bad different ugly way than European versions
Fun fact. This vehicle is neither American nor European.
They must meet very strict crash tests as well as bumper crash test so may result in different front and rear styling. Offset front crash tests are very hard on a vehicle structure, rollover and side impact standards are something else our vehicles must pass.
Those screens are so weird and odd looking
Compared to what? What's normal to you?
@@solsticemeows they're not in the dash but I actually bought one and it comes in handy as odd as it is 😆
It's good...has aston martin looks
