Good for City Drive

Exterior Its exteriors are good and there is no doubt about it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I test drove a relative's Ford Ecosport diesel top model purchased only one or two months ago. Interiors have good quality plastics,dash board appeard to me long (width wise) and it gives a sporty feelings. Average fuel consumption,outside temperature,push button start and other such creature comforts are very much there in the top model and about other models or standard features in Ford Ecosport I really do not know or I am not aware of them. Seats though very narrow , are very hugging and comfortable bacause of their quality material.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox What surprised me is its sporty nature. This compact SUV behaved like my Pulsar 220 bike.It's brakes are razor sharp just like that of a pulsar front brakes !! When I slowed down in the traffic, it picks up without knocking or any drama even in 3rd gear. Only in 4th gear when I tried the same trick it started knocking. It has a commanding view, you feel like you are seated high compared to any sedan,hatcth back etc., 

What also surprised me was that you begin to feel the road literally about every patch on the road, even small undulation on the road and offcourse every small pit . It bumps up and down on every patch. I do not know, it may be that sports vehicle should be like that but  I can not imagine the comfort for people sitting in the back seat while I myself sitting in the driver's seat could feel like that!!

Another surprise was that there was no wobble, which means no body roll and no headache or no vomitting sensation. I got down with such sensation when I test drove Verna, Chvrolet magnum,Swift etc., but not when I drove Tata Aria ! or Feat Linea! and yes Ford ecosport as well. That is real good for long journeys because it means you would not get tired.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling seems to be good though the real test should be on a national highway which I did not do, so I can not comment. Ride quality is not pliant and not smooth but you will feel every patch on the road even if you sit in the front.

Final Words You can buy to use it for long journeys or for city driving, may be works better because of its really stiff suspension.

Areas of improvement I do not know but seats should be a bit wide, it is useful only for two people in the back, two in the front (remeber they should not very faty ladies !!). A fifth adult at least can not sit without causing problem for all.

good ,very sharp brakes,quick pick up in 2nd and 3rd gearsnarrow or very tight space inside
