It's has many nice features for a lower end SUV model. I got the 2.0 liter non turbo with AWD. Ford recommends premium for best performance which is a bummer for an entry level vehicle. Runs Ok on 87 octane I get 29 MPG typically. Negatives, the back seats have no space to fit adults. Short wheel base means choppy ride quality. Small gas tank and no spare tire. You get basically a inflator and sealant to fix a flat tire. Has a nice infotainment screen and climate controls all easy to use. Real buttons and switches a plus. I get 29 MPG typically a couple more if I use Premium gas. Transmission is awful it shifts to early and is slow to downshift. Does not take advantage of the engine performance curves. Really drives better in manual shift S mode. I am happy enough with mine, got a good discount so not complaining a lot. But I don't think Ford will sell a lot of these Ecosport's in the US.

Happy with my EcoSport. Had a lot extras like heated seats, moon roof, and blind spot which I love.It says 29 on mileage I believe. I have been getting at least 34-35 on highway like My previous car Chevi Trax.

Big disappointment!
The car is short so expect a very choppy bumpy ride and noisy one! No matter how I drive it, I can’t get over 29 miles per gallon on the highway! I have the 2.0 all wheel drive and it is very noisy! The 2.0 would be pepper and more fuel efficient if Ford would put a turbo on it and make it an eco-boost like they do with other models with the same engine. Sync 3 is a joke! Very glitchy and screen locks up at least once a week! Takes forever for an update and then a new problem arises! Ford needs to drop this model needs to either drop this model or improve it!

Great Sub-Compact SUV
We have the 4WD/2.0L model. I wanted a small SUV and I'm happy with the EcoSport. The 2.0L is adequate but the 6sp.Auto needs tweeked, I keep mine in Sport mode all the time. The start/stop feature should be off until the driver turns it on and not the other way around. I'm getting 32-33 mpg on the highway (no a/c) and 24-26 city (no a/c). I hate that the doors have no manual door locks and you can't open the rear hatch if you have no battery. I only paid 17K for it out-the door (sticker was $22,835 + title & tax). The downside is it bottoms out when you hit a pothole or speedbump at faster speeds, all the electrical stuff you don't need or want (like the auto radiator shutters), the tailgate opens sideway instead of lifting

Using oil already
Noticed not long after buying when I checked the oil level it seemed to be gradually lowering on the dip stick. At 4400 miles it was down to the add mark. My wife and I really like the EcoSport but a oil consumption issues will definitely put a damper on out enthusiasm for this car. I can't remember owning a car that consumed much in oil even with a lot of miles on it. Let alone a new vehicle with so little miles. This is the 2.0 liter Duratec which being non turbo was supposed to have less problems. Those tiny 3 Cylinder turbo's are the ones with problems? Well, maybe Ford just can't make a good engine?

A detail about my car is that it is a beautiful blue color and it shines.
I have no problems with my vehicle yet. The car is very comfortable for me, it fits me perfect! The car definitely is not for everyone, it is small but very fun to drive! But this car is perfect for a first time car for a teenager, the car is very safe, lots of air bags, safety sensors and the best part is no texting and driving to keep your kids safe! I have had my car for about 4 months not and the performance is great, it drives smooth and takes curves wonderful! This car is not the car I wanted first but when I got into the car I immediately fell in love with it! I am so happy I choose this car! Also some of the features include a touch screen radio and backup camera, blind spot detection and it has more! If you decide to look at one of these cars you should definitely drive it you to just might fall in love too!

Small and economical for a family or starter car.
The only thing I miss is satellite radio. I think it could have more room in the backseat but other than that I love the car. It is really good on gas. Its gas tank is small but it is good. For a small car it has enough room I guess. I would recommend it for a small family or 2 people family.

2020 ford ecosport beauty and resourceful.
The ford ecosport is incredibly spacious for a 5-seater. I have black seats that hides stains. The 2020 ford ecosport also has apple CarPlay. The screen is a nice size to be able to toggle in between apps. I can read text messages when I am not driving also. The ford ecosport also has the auto stop/start feature. This feature is useful to conserve gas. It will turn your car off when you are at a red light or a stop for a long period of time and will restart once you lift off the brake or when the air/heat is no longer at the preset temp.
Carson N
on May 29, 2021
Great car. I would highly recommend it.
Good power and very comfortable to drive. Has plenty of legroom in the back so it is good for raising a family. The gas mileage is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this car if you are searching for a car that has good gas mileage for cheap. Five stars.
Samone M
on May 8, 2021
The vehicle is a beautiful jet black color on the outside.
The car drives very smooth. There is an impressive back camera. Bluetooth speakers. Great windshield wipers front and back ones available. Very low mileage. The car basically drives itself. This car makes driving in the highway a breeze even has its own navigation system.

Functionality
First purchased a new 2016 Ecosport Trend fir my wife where height above ground and small size was important. With ability to easily accommodate groceries and suitcases its roomy enough to sleep in if you had to. Well learnt early that it has a •significant blind spot area with the front door pillars. •Road noise especially when back seats are down •Telephone/radio& cruise controls failed at 48000km •Clutch judder rom automatic gearbox Pleased with it still we purchased 2019 Ecosport Titanium and found we could accommodate 2 foldup exlectric bicycles and all our bags and gear to tour the South Island of NZ for a month. Now at 61000kms we still find: •Cruise control plays up occasionally •Newr model clutch judder present but improved •Road noise still an issue •The blind spot has caused an accident causing minor LH frontal damage. The sport mode hives better control in climbing hills and cornering while in town automatic is a good ckoice for the more docile driver. PS Both my wife and I are in 74th yr! I'm 1850mm and wife 1650mm.

Getting in and out, I said before this is nice compared to what we had before.
Really, I have some doubts about that. The nicest thing about the ecosport is the ease of getting in and out of it, compared to what we had before, this is sweet. The gas mileage is ok. I like to time the lights so the clock on it shows seconds and that makes how long you are at a light very convenient.
Kayla E
on April 4, 2021
The Bluetooth feature and the availability to make a call.
It drives smooth and my dog approves the vehicle. It is easy to set up the phone to the Bluetooth system in the car. Even the radio is easy to work. I really love the backup system that came with the car. The only thing that is taking me longer to get used to is the feature of the car stalling when you stop at a red light.

Ecosport: compact and durable.
My ford ecosport is incredibly durable and strong. While it is not a large vehicle, it still has all the room and comfort that I need. It comes with great amenities such as remote start and heated seats. It also has 4-wheel drive which is great for where I live but also gets great gas mileage for a SUV. I could not be happier with this vehicle.
Noelle M
on March 10, 2021
Ford ecosport- a great car.
I love my vehicle. I just bought it in October and have fallen in love with it. I take it into the city, on side roads, practically everywhere. It is great on gas. It costs less than $25 for a full tank. It defrosts very quickly in the winter. And the sound from the speakers is great. The ford ecosport is an amazing car that I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone out there.

Price value and 4 wd
Only complaint is how tight the seat belt clips in because of the non folding arm rest other than that love the sunroof,heated seats heated steering wheel ,heated mirrors and windshields..good stereo like the high seating out the door for 25gs canadian its a steal...

Getting the Nav sys operational.
I have a new 2020 Ford Ecosport with 542 miles on it. While driving and using the nav guidance a GPS light came on the screen. The picture shifted to an area about 30 miles away and the car present location symbol started tracking across country (off road). I stopped, turned off the power and waiting about 2 minutes then restarted the auto and continued my trip. The GPS symbol remained on the screen and the location remained inaccurate. Is there a reset or fix that I can perform? Charlie

Great car, great gas mileage, definitely a compact car.
I really love my car. I am a student so the size is fine, but it is definitely a compact car with not very much legroom in the back seat or trunk room. It gets great gas mileage and is a good car for one person or a couple. My sister also has this same car and has two kids and loves it, so it really is a diverse car!
Forest R
on February 27, 2021
The perfect fit for a couple looking for a smaller SUV and great fuel economy.
We love the ecosport. It is great on gas has heated seats which is great this time of year. With the kids all grown up and out of the house we wanted to downsize to a smaller SUV. It was right in our price range. The only real complaint is there is not much cargo room. My wife really likes the sunroof.
Ashley M
on February 27, 2021
Fun vehicle with great gas mileage.
I just purchased the vehicle in July 2020. Thus far I have had no issues. I work from home now so I do not get to drive much but when I do, the vehicle is fun to drive and excellent on gas. I like that the oil change is only required every 10,000 miles.
Sashaye A
on February 25, 2021
Ford ecosport! I love my car and you will too!
It is great. No real problems. I use it for short drives around the corner or long drives traveling to other states. The mileage is good. I am able to spend a good amount of money on gas and not run out too fast. I have no idea what else I should say. It is a brand new make and model. I love it.
Tara R

From Chevy to ford and hoping for better luck.
We had engine problems twice on an equinox, and went without a car for 7 months. Just bought new car last week. Ford ecosport from interstate ford where some works. Hoping there’s better luck with ford. Not happy with Chevy at all. Didn't want to lease to us, no deals for covid.

Ford 2020 review. I am not clever enough for another title.
I am not a fan of the engine shut off feature. There is the option to turn it off but I do not always remember to do that. I wish there was a way to turn off the high beams from turning on. The crash assistance is somewhat annoying to me as well. Otherwise it has great gas mileage.
Kelci B
on January 30, 2021
I love it! It really is a good vehicle just needs a couple of adjustments.
The only problems I have is that when I am on the highway it takes a while to speed up. And also when the car does it auto shut off it takes too long to start back up. And there should be a bigger space between the back and the front of the car. But other than those problems I love it so much! Especially because we do not have children it is a perfect size.
Dana W

The SUV all star special..O.
This car is completely awesome compared to my past vehicle. Slightly spacious and provides comfort for a family of 4. Cruise control allows your traveling to be utterly smooth (feels like you are floating in the air). Comes equipped with everything you'll want out of your future car.
Arnold A
on January 17, 2021
High tech urban crossover.
No issues. Performance and comfort better than expected. I am a big & tall male and the ecosport offers decent seating with good leg and head room. The 1.0 lt ecoboost motor with 6 speed automatic offers a smoother and more responsive acceleration than I would have expected.
Kaila F
on January 9, 2021
The silver, sleek roller skates.
The 2020 ford ecosport is comfortable, reliable, sleek, and it has a reverse camera. It does not have a lot of legroom, and it's very small. It's also very easy to drive and see out of, it also has heated seats and remote start which comes in handy a lot.
Crystal H
on January 4, 2021
Extremely smooth with great gas mileage.
It has been amazing so far, great gas mileage, very smooth driving, extremely quiet, definitely holds more and bigger than I originally thought, my kids and all of their friends love it. The outside is very smooth looking, I got the dark gray which is a beautiful color.

Small yet spacious, smooth drive, 10/10!
This car is super cute and small yet spacious for all needs. It has really awesome Bluetooth features and it drives really smooth. I love all the colors it has available and I feel safe driving in it. I especially like that it automatically locks if you close the door and the vehicle is still on. You can also turn on the vehicle, lock it, or unlock it from your phone! It comes in handy when the temperature drops before I leave for work. 10/10 would definitely recommend this vehicle.
Valerie A
on December 22, 2020
The trunk opens sideways and the trunk release is hidden above the rail lights.
There is no trunk or gas button inside the car. The car drove very nice. Gas goes quickly. Overall its a very nice car but it comes with issues the seats are not powered by hand. The car is durable also lightweight so I recommend putting something heavy in the back like sand.

Ford ecosport pros and cons.
The car is kind of small for my needs but it gets me where I need to go. I drive a lot and the tank does not hold very much so frequently filling up gas tank. CarPlay is a helpful feature that I enjoy. Only wish you could do Bluetooth CarPlay. Sunroof is cool. I wish it had back air vents.
Erin C
on November 30, 2020
Great car for the family or a first time driver.
Ecosport drives great and smoothly. I goes into and energy saving mode that saves you money on gas. It is a very family safe car with all wheel drive and powered steering. Drives great in the snow and rain. Heated seats are a plus, great navigation, hands free calling, works with google assistant.
John C
on November 27, 2020
Great small vehicle for urban setting.
No problems, wish for more horsepower, but bought eco, I had chosen perfect vehicles with all of the extras and happy with it, however, not figured or read how to set the radio, will do when I have more time. Never had backup camera, great feature as well as heated seat and steering wheel.
Chelsey S
on November 14, 2020
Ford ecosport, have small expectations for a small car.
Many things seem to be oddly places, such as the drink holder (it's super low down). The back seat also has 0 space for passengers legs. My nine-year-old son has barely enough room. The trunk door is pretty cool and the navigation system is very convenient.
Leslie W
on October 18, 2020
Ecosport is a great car at a great price.
I have only had the car 10 days, but am happy with the way it handles. I got the 4wd but no snow yet to determine its abilities. Love the heated leather seats and steering wheel, as well as the sunroof. Wish it had presets for the seating like my escape did.
Samuella M
on September 21, 2020
Ecosport.Has a backup camera.
Great performance low on gas easy to handle. So happy I chose this vehicle. Very safe nice interior inside. Nice outside so far haven't had any problem. I would tell anyone if they are looking for a vehicle that does not burn hardly any gas easy to handle it is ecosport. Lovely ride.Enjoy.
Claire H
on September 18, 2020
I love the height! Comparable to the ford fusion, it is what I prefer.
I wish I had a bigger size - not a design flaw just a personal preference. I was not the purchaser of the car, however, I informed the purchaser that I would enjoy a car with heated seats, a backup camera, and for it to be an SUV. I had previously driven the 2018 ford fusion se and enjoyed that vehicle as well. My next purchase from ford will most likely be the ford fusion because I enjoyed the fuel efficiency and ease of driving. I do enjoy the lifted aspect of the ford ecosport, so if there were a combination of the two, that would be ideal.
Ashley H
on September 17, 2020
Wouldn't want any other car.
I went through Larry h miller and I love my new car. It is really good in snow and really helps with traction control. It has Bluetooth and heated seats. Gas mileage is a little low but all in all no problems. The one thing that I did wish it had is the side mirror sensors but it does have a rear view mirror. Also has Wi-Fi, which helps with these times.
Forest R
on September 2, 2020
Perfect fit for the wife and me.
I absolutely love this vehicle. It is the perfect size for my wife. It is a smaller SUV but she struggles with larger vehicles. It gets really good gas mileage and has more pick up and go than I thought it would. The only knock I have on it is the lack of cargo space and the backseat had little leg room but it is a perfect fit for my wife since the kids are grown.
Angela M
on August 28, 2020
My car and all the features that it has. How much I enjoy it!
I love my car. I love all the features it has and how it's so good on gas. It has so many features like how many miles until you are empty of gas. I love the car apple play that plays everything on your apple through you car. It is very compact and drives very smooth. I am happy with my new car.
Bree B

The radio is a nice sized touch screen. It almost looks like a mounted tablet.
My car is very nice runs and drives very well. Has a large touch screen for radio with satellite, easy to see and pretty well set up with all apps and settings. Sunroof is a favorite feature on the car. Spacey front and back seats. There is however, little to no space in the trunk. Other than the small trunk though it is an amazing car.
kim K
on August 19, 2020
10/10 comfort, cannot express how much I am in love with it.
I actually went into the car dealership having a dim idea of what I wanted in my new car, but the moment I stepped in and saw the ecosport, I fell in love. I love the smoothness of the ride, and the space it provides for not only my seat but all around the car and for other passengers as well. The comfort level is amazing and honesty during the summer the seat can get extremely hot and that is a could give it a ten out of ten except nothing is that bad and I love this car. I would totally recommend this car to anyone who has children and enjoys road trips.
Wendy R

New ford ecosport review.
It has a very small gas tank, I hate having to fill up all the time, the cargo space is small also, smaller than I expected. There is no spare tire and that is a concern. It looks sporty which I like, not a boring appearance. The model is a titanium which has a lot of great features. Heated seat, mirrors, steering wheel. Remote start!!
Elise M

My lovely car that is so easy to drive and reliable with a lifetime warranty.
It's a great little car to drive. Easy to park in the city, great maneuverability, cute appearance and full of up to date gadgets. Parking assistance and cross traffic alerts, also side traffic alerts. Leather trim and heated seats. It also has a lifetime warranty and low insurance.
Sarah E
on August 6, 2020
Love my ecosport! It is reliable and has good gas mileage.
I love how for a smaller SUV that it comes with all the bells and whistles. It drives great and has pretty good gas mileage. The trunk has a decent amount of space too. I have been driving an ecosport for awhile now and had one prior to getting my current one. They are reliable and great if you live in more of a city or suburban area.
Beverley J
on July 31, 2020
Ford ecosport - a must see and drive to believe.
I had never heard of this model car until I visited the dealership. It seemingly had everything I was looking for - it was slide in, sit down high, it had a real gear shift on the floor, it had a backup camera, and many other features - the list is simply too long to list here. We took it for a nice long test drive, and bought it on the spot. Drive it once, and see for yourself what you think. I think you might buy it on the spot, too.
Margaret E
on July 25, 2020
Easy basic features that are simple to use.
Haven't had any problems. Great performance with a eco option button. It gets excellent gas mileage. I love the Bluetooth connection for phone calls and music. With control button options on the steering wheel. Extra USB connectors. The back passenger side seat has a port as well. The back door is a swing gate openings open from side to side.
Rachel M

Awesome compact car with plenty of great features.
This car is great in gas abs fun to drive. I love that it handles well abs has intelligent 4 wd. This makes me feel safe. The rear door opens out, not up- this is great because I am not very tall. It is very easy to open abs the trunk area holds so much cargo.
Alexis P
on June 27, 2020
Awesome for family, friends and travel.
Sunroof, lots of leg room for tall people in the front and back with an awesome trunk door that opens horizontally so you can fit larger things inside. Super good in rougher terrain with awesome inside audio features and programs. 8 cup holders, 2 cig lighters and one wall plug, as well as two USB ports makes it super family friendly with all the electronics we have now a days. Awesome purchase, wouldn’t go back!

2020 ford ecosport is a fun, reliable vehicle with all the bells and whistles.
My new ford ecosport is very reliable. I just bought it brand new a week ago. It has all the bells and whistles. Heated seats, a sunroof, push to start, back up camera, a big screen, and it auto shuts off at a red light, or a long stop period. I would highly recommend it for any age. It is very safe. It will let you know if a car is in your blind spot, and alerts you to know not to merge to the next lane if there is a car in your way. It's not too big, and not to small. Perfect for a family of 4.
Anthony D
on April 17, 2020
So far, I am impressed with my car.
I have had the car for a few months and I have really enjoyed it. It is a smooth ride with good gas mileage. Mine is blue with tan seats. It is a base model but still has plenty of bells and whistles to really enjoy. I am not sure how it will perform in the winter yet but I am sure it’ll be great.
Victoria P

2020 ford ecosport with push start and moonroof.
I just got this car on January 2, 2020. So far I love it. I was previously driving a ford focus and I felt the car was too low to the ground. I got the ecosport to sit higher up. The only thing that is taking some getting used to is not having a key to start the car. I never had a push start car before and it still feels a lot different.

In short, the car has a lot of muscle power but friendly enough to not cause.
The car has a unique feature with the truck. It opens sideways instead of upward. The screen is huge and connects instantly to your smartphone for Bluetooth features. The car has a sunroof and fits perfect for a mid level family. A lot of trunk space and wide view of the dashboard. Automatic windows and stylish and sleek. It is comfortable for a family but stands out.

Review ford ecosport 2020.
When it rains, water leaks when the door is opened. Great mileage lots of room, runs well, basically comfortable for me, not so much for taller people. It has been reliable, although it is new. Like the connect with the fordpass. Can start it from inside my house.
Constance Y
on September 4, 2019
The eco is a great car I'd highly recommend. It is a nice inexpensive car.
It is very roomy. It is great on gas. It is a smooth ride. The trunk open from the side like a door instead of having to lift up which is a neat feature. I get more than twenty five miles to the gallon. It looks sporty and I get a lot of compliments. Very sharp!

Why my ecosport is my favorite car.
It is an amazing car with great features including, heated seats, leather seats, apple carplay, heated steering wheel, android auto, and many more features that make the car exceptional for the price point. It has all wheel drive and options that are great for a family vehicle.

The best car on the world for other person.
This vehicle is very good and cheap for the politics of the engine that it carries is also very elbow in its interior because of its fast touch; the accelerator this car is one of the best in the commercial market the front train is very strong, and it is surely the best in the market.
Tara R

We are very pleased with our ford ecosport.
We've only had the car for a month. We are still learning about the car. It drives well, air works well, good gas mileage. Not much room in the back. Love the sunroof, and the map display. Ford was very willing to work with us on a loan to fit our budget. We will definitely go back to ford in the future.
Thalia M
on June 8, 2019
Best purchase!! Must get automobile!!
The best, the gas lasts for about 250 miles maybe more and I only spend like $20 to fill. Up the tank. It is small and compact and has great visibility. It also has autostop which turns the engine off in any stoplight or whenever the car comes to a stop and it saves your gas and shows that the car has great battery. It has heated seats which were great in the winter but they’re fabric so in the summer it is not as hot and does not burn my thighs.

2020 ford ecosport titanium = the best.
I love my ecosport! I was really skeptical about buying a brand new car at first, but now I am so happy I did. The ecosport has so much to offer for anyone. It is equipped with so much space, so many cool features (Bluetooth, nav, heated steering wheel and seats, heated mirrors, etc), and safety features, which are important. It drives smooth, and drives like a dream.
Bri S
on February 2, 2019
Great first time car buy!
I love this car. Have nothing but good things to say. It drives smooth and breaks beautifully. Its small enough to fit into tight spots but has enough space on the inside to sit 5 comfortably. Has great gas mileage. Everything is handy right at the steering wheel so you do not have to look away for too long. And with android auto, my google maps pops up right on the screen.

My new ecosport is a blast!
I knew very little about the ford ecosport before purchasing it; in fact, I had never seen one in person. Here's what I know now - the car handles very well, has more space inside (especially in the back seats) than you'd guess, and gets incredible gas mileage. The ecosport has a three-cylinder motor with 1.0 fi. My ecosport is so smooth around turns and stops on a dime. My purpose for buying the ecosport was to give my daughter a safe and reliable car when she turns sixteen. We practice driving each day, and I am continually pleased with how great the ecosport is for a new driver. I have the s selection, purposefully foregoing some of the bells and whistles of the more packed-out versions available (se, titanium) in order to provide my precious daughter with a simple yet fun first car.
