The professional reviewers never seem very impressed with this car, but the owners are happy! I've had mine for a year and I love it. It's comfortable, fun to drive, and practical. I did get the 4x4 with a 2.0 liter engine, and I've never felt like it was underpowered.

My wife is 4'9" and we bought an 2019 Ecosport Titanium to replace a Honda Fit. Great choice. She says it's the most comfortable seat she's ever ridden in. The car fits her like a glove. Her feet touch the floor and the seat adjusts perfectly so she has great visibility. The touch screen is very impressive. We love the car.

It's a mini-suv, not a sports/performance car. Not for everyone, but for someone who needs more room than a small car. but also wants the fuel economy, easier parking and maneuverability - say in the city of a small vehicle. So - young families, singles that carry gear, small business start ups that need to move around with stuff, delivery services/couriers traveling sales people students, empty-nesters, recent grads...

I sell these. Just drove one during a snow storm and was insanely impressed with how it handled

We bought a Titanium 3 weeks ago. I love it. I had a Lincoln MKZ that I really like but wanted something smaller. This is so much easier to get in. We are retired and love zipping around shopping etc. My husband still haves his Ford F150. He is tall and is still comfortable when riding with me.

The rear seats do fold flat , you have to lift up the seat cushion and then it folds right into to a flat floor.

I changed to an ecosport from a fiesta, I have a disability, a back problem. Getting in and out of an ecosport is a lot better than struggling to get in and out of a fiesta that has low seating positions. Love my ecosport, lacks umph...?. Yeah I agree, little slow to get going, but once there, its smooth and runs beautiful. I also transport 2 german shepherds in the rear, I found it plentiful for that.

My mother bought one a few months ago, a black titanium 2018 model. So now, her 2010 Honda Fit is mine, my dad still has his 2004 f-150 supercrew, and my mom has her eco-sport and she loves it! It isn’t a bad car and is very easy to drive. Perfect for a single person or for a small family.

I love mine. It does not feel small as you drive it. The gas mileage is phenomenal. Handles great. Ride feels sporty. Great pick up.

I actually kinda like it. The interior is really nice. Good review

My wife bought a Lightning Blue SES Monday night. We love it and still learning about all the features.

Im glad you’re still reviewing affordable cars many of us can’t afford super cars, keep up the good work

Being honest in your review is something I admire.

Been driving my brand new 2018 ecosport for a couple days now and all i can say is wow!! So plush and nice and perfect.got it in lightning blue too,look real nice.fit and finish is unreal too.i got the se version with a 2 liter and 4wheel drive so its going to be an awsome camping mobile too.love it and im very hapoy

I just got a 2019 Ecosport SE 4WD. I agree that it does not feel small. I had a Focus sedan and my bad back made making a change a necessity. This car is great! I can get in and out with no issues. I don't get the mileage that I did with the Focus, but I am so much more comfortable. For an adult shopping for two, I have plenty of cargo room. I have yet to have anyone try the back seats but they do appear to be tight. I am so glad I cam across your reviews because I feel even better about my car.

A detailed review that I have never seen in other auto review videos. Came here for the car but stayed for the channel. You earned a sub

I own this exact model and color of the Ecosport and I will say it drives and handles nicely. I opted to go with the 4 cylinder because of length of travel to work and so it is great having that extra power. I heard that the 3 cylinder one is ok if all you were doing is local driving and not doing any long distance driving. Also the first time the heated seats came on it was on high and I had the same thoughts about how hot it got but if you hit the button that controls the heated seats it has 3 levels of settings. I keep mine on the medium setting. I just saw another persons comment about the back seat folding down flat and is what he said just lift the seat cushion and it lays flat.

Your HUMBLENESS makes you GREAT!!! Keep up the awesome work.

I love this car!!! I have had my 2018 EcoSport 4x4 with a 2.0 liter engine (SES) for about six months and find it powerful, comfortable, nimble and very stable on the road. I am six foot two /300 pounds and feel very comfortable with the massive leg room and the headroom. I wish the review also covered the manual gear shift behind the steering wheel... its to provide extra power for passing and such. The side opening rear hatch is a blessing and once the rear seats are dropped, there is tons of cargo room for large items.

I recently acquired a Ford ecosport car I had a Ford Escape and I downsize to this and I really like it rides good handles good and your review was right on thank you have a nice day

Really liked your review... To help you with the name ECOsport like Ford told you, here's some history of this car for you, for future reference. The first Ecosport was designed and developed from 1999 until 2002 and launched in 2003. It was developed for Brazillian and South America's markets and the its project started right here, in USA! The name Ecosport as you now know is spelled like this because that's how we say that name in Brazil. I don't know how many generations Ford Fiesta has, but this Ecosport was developed alongside with the previous Fiesta generation and Ecosport was built on that previous Fiesta platform. These 2 cars were born to be the "salvation" of Ford Brasil and Ford built a brand new plant in northeast Brazillian state Bahia just to build these 2 models! Anyway, that's just to sum up a little bit of the history of this car.

I like the review. I like the positives he mentions while not destroying the car with the negatives. I'm picking up a Titanium in 3 short days. I'm getting old, feeble, health problems, don't travel any long distances anymore, so this car is what will replace my Audi A5 Quattro Cabrio which is difficult to get in and out in tight parking spaces due to the long doors, hard to reach into the back seat unless the tops down. The trunk is reasonable compared to most convertibles but is low. When the dealer saw my trade in, he almost gave me the Ecosport.

Missed the regular car reviews! I love your vlogs about the C63S but also like having reviews mixed in! Keep it up! If you ever want to review a stage 3 2018 WRX let me know!

Hi Mike! I live in Europe, and my uncle works at Ford where they make the EcoSport. He said that the car is mainly focused on european and indian market. The st line as far as I know, is only a visual upgrade, so you can add the ST line over the Titanium, to get a sportier look. Basically it is the equivalent of the SES like the one you tested.

I really liked the review! I actually find these "normal" cars quite interesting, keep up! :)

For me these reviews are the soul of the channel. Great video.

Just bought the 2016 Titanium version , yes there are lights on the passenger mirror , the Titanium also has traction control . Also seats do go flat .

Love it! Planning to buy one as daily driver next wk. SES AWD. They ride awesome I've heard. Keep my new Lincoln MKZ off rds in winter!

I bought the 1l Tinanium model in October 2018, trading in my Ford Fiesta ST. I absolutely looooove my car! It has umph - lots of it and overtaking is a breeze. Fuel consumption is fantastic. Overall, it is a stunning car to drive and I would recommend the 1l Ecoboost anytime. B.t.w. I live in South Africa

I’m a new college student with my eco sport and I’m petite & I love it! Definitely not for a bigger family though it’s for sure got a certain niche of people who it would be perfectly made for and I’m happy to say I fit that market!

These are the types of reviews that keep me around. Good job!

I text drove a SE with the turbo 3 and was shocked at how fast it went and I liked the way it rode and was surprised at all the features it had. .

You forgot the rear seat flips up and the seat back folds down for a flat load level.

Reminds me a lot of the Buick Encore... keep up the awesome videos! Very modern and fun to watch, I can make it through your entire video!

I purchased my 2018 Ford EcoSport in April of 2019 new. It has 23 miles on it. It is the 1 liter engine. I absolutely love it. I have more than enough power to pass on the interstate. I can park it anywhere without problems. I drove a V6 for 11 years and I wouldn’t trade my EcoSport for another V6. Yes there is a limited amount of room in the back seat but I expected that. If you pull the bottom part of the back seat up before laying down the top it will lay flat.

I just bought my wife the exact same car yes car your reviewing every option same color exactly the same .and it stickers for 24.000.and I got it out the door with incentives and they took 3000 off total price 20.500

Thank you! I was very interested in this vehicle but I, like you, am a bit power hungry. I may not consider it for purchase now but I will still want to look at it in person in the future. It's so cute 😁

I’m sure they are thrilled to see you floor their brand new car over and over again.

Good work. I think your reviews are down to earth no BS reporting. The one feature of the Eco that needs a lot more accolades is the verticle display. I own a 2016 Linc MKX which has screen which is on about a 45 degree angle. I pray for cloudy days because when the sun is high in the sky the screen becomes useless due to glare. It pxxxxx me off to no end having to hold something over the screen to use my back-up camera during the day. I saw a early review of the new Nautilus recently and guess what. The same useless screen. The use-ability of a screen in most reviews doesn't get touched on except for what features it has. All the features in the world are useless if you can't see them. Looking forward to more great reviews.

“If you have kids, make sure their short”.....will do!

thanks for this great review - i just bought this Ecosport and I love it but i could not figure how you opened the damn boot- I never noticed the little hidden button under the handle. thanks for thet

I bought the 2021 Ford Ecosports. I love it! The seats fit me perfectly for my height.

Regarding the visor lights, if you fold them down and look to the right corner (driver's side) just above the sticker that shows you can extend them, there's a switch for the light for the visor.. You're welcome👍

Great car and even better review. Have a nice day sir!

I got to drive one of these while a recall on my Ford Fusion was being done and I have to say I'm very impressed I'm actually looking into trading in my car for this one it does have some very cool features the stop-and-start one really got to me though LOL I was leaving the dealership and I thought it died on me overall it's very comfortable I'm not a good highway driver but I feel like in this I could practice and get more comfortable.

Thanks for your review. I recently gave me leased 2016 Ford Escape back and decided to lease a 2018 Ford Ecosport and I really like it. I got the se but it has the heated seats, sunroof, AWD. It took me a little to get use to size wise bc the trunk isn’t as big as the escape but it’s ok. I don’t have any kids so the smaller backseat space isn’t an issue either, I did however compromised on color, I got black bc the dealership didn’t have a lot of color choices on the lot, the normal boring colors of black, grey, silver, white is all they had, I wanted cannon ridge . Also, I always wanted a sunroof and I do love mine but now I realize that with a sunroof comes no light in your car when you open the doors at night, there’s only one in the front and it doesn’t light up the entire car, other than that I’m enjoying it!

I’m 6’7 300 lbs so I’m a big guy and me and my wife tested one of these the other day at my local dealership and they’re very nice I fit in the front just fine but as far as the back seats I couldn’t even get in at all I think your much better off for the money to get a flex or escape more room and better value 👍🏼 love the reviews keep up the good work👌🏼

The thing is very safe too got rear ended in it and the damage wasn't to bad was able to drive away but as for the kia that hit me the front end was no good

I like it. Looks better than the old one ☝️. In the Uk the SES is called the ST Line . We have zetec, titanium and st line

In case you’re not aware, the Focus with the 3 cylinder Ecoboost and automatic transmission didn’t use the dual clutch transmission, they used the select shift torque converter transmission.

you can take the cargo cover and lift it into the higher slot it will make everything flat and level when the read seats are folded.

Thanks Mike I’m considering replacing my Trax with an EcoSport, seems like the build quality is better on the Ford

They should have had HID headlights...specially on the Titanium or SES trims.

Nice, I like how you're changing up the channel with the reviews again :)

Rear seat can fold flat if you fold up the seat cushions. There’s a pull tab in the middle of wash side rear seat to pull them up.

I'm considering this. Only because of its ride height and 4WD. It would be perfect in the snow.

I was wondering about the new Ford EcoSport! Thanks for doing a review on it!

I have never seen this reviewer before, but I do like his honest review style..koodos!

Love ur videos, keep up :)

Early morning upload hell yes. 🙏🏼

I have a Fiesta hatchback right now, but I'm considering getting a small SUV soon. After watching this review, I would consider getting this. It looks a lot nicer inside than I was expecting it to. It is a bit small, but coming from what I drive now, it shouldn't be too big of a deal. It's usually just me in the car anyway.

I just bought one today. And so far so good. Thanks for the review!

6:58 man I love this song from frank Sinatra!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks my sister wants to look and test drive a 2018 Ford Ecosport SE. the lease on her 2015 Toyota RAV4 XLE AWD. Is up in 2 months.

I prepped an SE today for our show room. Before I could wash it I had to take off a whole lot of plastic covering the whole hood, the roof, and small bits and pieces all around the vehicle, and the wheels had some sticker like substance on it that was hard to get off. It was a hassle! Other than that I thought it was a cool little car by the time I was done detailing it. It was one of our first ones and everyone was excited like a kid on Christmas morning when I got it into the showroom.

I have an SE with the 1.0l, and it’s a great car. Like he said in the review, it feels bigger than it is, and it can fit anywhere. Have had no problems zipping around chicago. I’ve taken it on a few 500 mile trips, and there were no issues on the highway, either. Was cruising at 90 the entire way and didn’t have any problems passing. The turbo kicks in quick, and it provides a substantial boost. Obviously it’s not like driving an S5 or whatever, but it’s definitely competent and pretty loveable.

This is the sort of car we are expected to drive in the UK....small cars with small engines that wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding!!!

I love my ford ecosport 1 litre eco boost

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree about that PowerShift transmission. I currently drive a 2014 Fiesta and had a 2013 Fiesta, both with the automatic transmission and both cars had to be put in the shop for warranty work on the transmission. My Fiesta now though after a clutch replacement runs beautifully. Only thing I hate about it is the resale value.

I love this review! Buying one this week. I had a Hyundai Venue and its great but too short. So excited

I love this car... and i dont know why.

In Europe we will not get a "ecosport st". Its called the "st line" and it's a equipment level. European cars will likely have a 1.5 tdci and a 1.0 ecoboost engines.

I have this car. Same colors and everything. There are lights on the visors. You missed it. Take a 2nd look around the top near the roof of the car. I overlooked it too and son pointed it out to me. I love it. Had it about 1 month. And the seats can lay flat in the back. Thanks for the review.

I just bought the Titanium today and I really like it the back cargo is small but I'm just using it going back and forth to work our 2 boys are 7 and 5 and yes it's made for smaller children back there

Looks like Ford is directly competing with the Chevy Trax/Buick Encore now.

So they discontiued the Fiesta to sell...a lifted Fiesta.

I have a 2019 and I thought the mirrors didn't have lights. But they DO. You just have to push the button. They don't come on automatically. 🌻

Just towed my 1st trailer with my 2.0 , only towed about 1400 pnds its rated for 2000 but i was impressed didnt even know it was there, used sport mode on the trans all level ground only went about 20 miles

Nice vehicle! It would be a little better with the engine from the ford focus st.

I hate to be that guy, but eco and echo are two different words.

Hi Mike, i agree the EcoSport needs about 40hp more and the 1.0l SfE Ecoboost 3cyl that is in the Fiesta does not cut it. They should only leave the 2.0l ecoboost in the escape and put the 1.5l ecoboost in the ecosport!

great video dude. hopefully you can make a video of the ford edge st. that wouod be sick

A year later and these are pricing under 15k for gently used models, thanks to depreciation I might get one sooner than I thought

People are always underestimating small cars these days..

Great review. I actually just saw the first of these in person last week. One seemed to be a twin of the one you drove. 2.0L Turbo would be a nice option to have but I'm sure it would push the cost well past 30 Grand, where I don't think the value would be there.

Great review! Two questions: just how tall are you, and what is that music? I love it!Thanks!

my f150 weighs around 6500 lbs and is 300 HP that's about the same power to weight isn't it? I'm going to go drive one today, I like the look of it

We had this one for years in South America. The back "lift gate" opens to the left because we have a spare tire on it and, due to the weight of it, engineers decided to ditch the traditional mechanism. The spare tire was removed for the North American market beceuse they thought you guys had better roads than us. So instead of it, you have a quick repair kit and a inflator (if you have side tire damage, forget about keeping up with your trip). Other than that, it's a really good "cheap" (at least in the USA) mini SUV.

The wife and I bought an ses and we both love it. Very nice to drive

In India ,they have this with a spare wheel attached at the back

The thing about the pronunciation of Ecosport is due to the origin of the project: Brazil, whose language is Portuguese

Got the 1.0 turbo version for my wife , she loves it . Dang thing is as nice to drive as my 2014 e350 Mercedes ....

The SES trim level in the US is actually the ST Line version from Europe. There's also the Vignale version in Europe, which is the most expensive trim level ;)

Hummm... não entendi nada, pq nando deixou link desse vídeo?

Quem veio pelo Nando Boura Rakiadu?

very informative thank you! i am still debating buying one but this gave me a lot more information

Ok ok. After watching so many videos, I’m subscribing today 🤗
