ecoboost review

I have followed the car for last one year and booked within a week of its launch. I was lucky to get it fast. I own a mars red ecosport with ecoboost model. Total expenditure including accessories was 9.25L.

Exterior: Look is great,although few dont like the chromgrill in front. I love it. It gives an aggressive look to the car. I do enjoy people noticing my car even today on streets.

On the first day of my office, there was a crowd around my car noticing it and i had to take  friends mainly doctors on their request for a test drive. I am not exaggerating but a few changed their decision to buy other car after a single drive.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Driver height adjustment is great. You can see a lot more with height adjusted. Talking on Bluetooth is clear and crisp and music/audio system is great. Sync is not that great and may not follow your command precisely(for example it may call mama in case of nana and play a song diff from your command).

Mine is a small family so cant comment much on rear space. I feel it is adequate.

Another thing i like about the car is the built quality. Its a solid car. Please try to open one of its door and you will come to know from its weight.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: the car shows it power above 30-40 km speed. While overtaking if strong brake is applied, you have to shoft gear down or may feel underpowered. The car runs over small cracks with ease but stiff suspension is felt over moderate sized speed breakers.

I have driven around 1700 kms and my average mileage now in city is around 12-13. Hoping to get a mileage above 15 after first service.

 

Ride Quality & Handling: The best feature in the car. You can drive few hundred kms without tiredness. On my last trip to Puri, asked my wife to guess the speed and her answer was around 60-70. (I was driving at 110- my max speed in the car).

Handling is very easy in city conditions and believe me you can move the steering with a finger only.

You feel secure in the car due to solid built and the brake is perfect with ABS.

 

Final Words: Worth my wait and research for last one year. I wait to drive this car every morning.

 

Areas of improvement  :SUSPENSION CAN BE MODERATED. HEAVY DOORS MAY NOT LOCK IF NOT PROPERLY PUSHED.LIGHT SWITCH ELSEWHERE IS AWKWARD.
