फ़ोर्ड ईकोस्पोर्ट [2013-2015] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior This Car has all looks which will overtake Ertiga, Duster, Quanto. the Looks will lock you at first sight.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The loads of features which comes along with this machine are pretty high. the rear Seating capacity is not as spacious to accomodate 3 adults at ease. 2 adults and kid would be comfortable. Boot space is large enough to take baggage for a weekend trip.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 1.5L TDCi Enginee is ford's successful diesel Engine and will give a good mileage in the city and on the highway. Its the same engine which comes in fiord fiesta which delivers good performance on the highway esp @ high speeds.

Ride Quality & Handling Good vehicle to drive within city and on the highway. Ford has proven once again that its a driver friendly vehicle.

Final Words If you are looking to change to an economical SUV this is the best you could.

Areas of improvement Nothing much. Should wait for the long term performance.

Looks, Proven ford's TDCI Engine,StyleRear Seating Space.

I have been chasing Ecosport from its announce in India, I liked the car in all respect, test driven, everything has been designed for a good urban suv, but One Big Comment on Small Thing which I feel Ford must have not put their attention is that the wipers on the wind screen are not resting flat instead rest very absurd 4 inches above the windscreen glass bottom and the driver have to keep seeing them before looking at the road which I dont like and many others, wipers like in figo should rest and hide on a black strip so that driver has clear view of road, I personally hate first looking at wipers sticks then the road, I am sure Ford will rectify this defect which I am not appreciating except for all other fantastic features they built into for which my loud applause for Ford Team.

Good PricingWipers not alighed properly on the windscreen

Exterior

Superb - Rugged - Manly - Futuristic 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Design of Cockpit - Wow, Plastic Finish Good, Quality Mediocre & Fitting Very Bad. In a new display peice, dash board comes out witha  single pull.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Nice pick Up, Sound Free, Ok Fuel Economy, Gearbox Pretty Smooth 

Ride Quality & Handling

Nice - Driver's Delight, Smooth Gear Box, Slight jerks on Potholes (unlike for an SUV) 

Final Words

I am going to Buy it but .............. Waiting period is something I am not comfortable with. Worst part is No dealer is having a clue what is the realistic delivery time. One said 6 months other 5 months and third one 15 - 18 months in Bangalore. Looks like a funfare going on.

Companies fail to undertand

Ertiga - intial lead time was 9-10 months - Now dealer is asking "Sir name the color we will deliver tommorow".

 

Renault Duster - Waiting period was 10 - 12 months - " Sir please come, bill and collect the vehicle".

One should understand that the same needs to be immediately encashed or someone else will be the gainer.

Hello guys , expecially those who have commented that ford service charges are less . I totally  differ on your argument . I myself got the Bite of Ford service . I payed though my Nose literally  for my last Service.  i have a colleagues whose ford fiesta cars when under warranty Had AC complaint and some other beeping nisuie issues from Dash board . The service center dragged these compaints till his warranty got over and charged him INR 40K for the repairs . This is not a unique case . Ford vehicles are flashy , fully loaded and good riding comfort , good mileage etc .But for all these  if you are unlucky  would end up being under the mercy of the ford service centers ......and when you shell out around 10 Lakhs what would you get on the resale of the Ford Vehicle after 3 years ... peanuts.....So potential Ford buyers think twice or thirce . go for toyota innova ,toyota corolla , verna fluidic etc ...

facy and flasy looks , good interiors , fully packed vehicle for lessservice charges , After sales support

 I have booked a base model of Ecosports which is not having the Driver seat height adjustment option. I want to know that is there any chance to buy height adjustable seat from Ford or anywhere else. I do not want to pay 1 lac extra to buy upper version just for this feature.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 I am very impress with the interior of this car. space and comfort is also very good. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 i have taken the test drive and dint feel any engine sound or any week point.

Ride Quality & Handling

 I have taken the test drive twice and found the amazing ride.

Good stylelong waiting and driving seat

Exterior Unlike xuv 500 which comands road presence ecosport mingles with the crowd due to smaller size but yes if you compare with any other car it definitely have an aggressive exterior design with small eyes and a musculine jaw (james bond)

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interors are best in class better than xuv500 or duster infact i am sorry to say duster have the worst. you sit in the driver seat of ecosport and you have a composed secure feeling with your adrenaline pumping press the clutch pedal start the push button everything inside the car comes to life. the beasty front console is excellent and the tiny little screen is positioned at the right place. space to my surprise was fairly ok even in duster middle seat rear passenger is in trobule, yes if large space is what you are looking xuv500 or innova is your car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is better than duster which has more turbolag in 2 and 3 gear, gear shift smooth much better than duster fuel economy of 17 kmpl diesel is best in class.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is excellent ride quality is good

Final Words In a sub 10 lakh car what you get is value for money. dont go for duster, interiors and door noises is better in a truck

Areas of improvement Size and height.

Excellent handlingSize and space

Exterior

 If you see at first the back side look will appeal you but the front looks very ugly.Car looks very small from a distance.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Nice interior witjh lot of features but the back seat comfort is bad.Only 4 people including driver can be comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Ford is known for its diesel engine.So no complain about the diesel variant though the FE is on lower side.The gearbox is smooth but not as smooth as a maruti or honda.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Handling is good till it reaches 80KM/h. Heavy body roll due to high GC and small body.

Final Words

 Overall the product is good if we check other Ford products.But there are many alternatives to this which are very good VFM like Duster/Ertiga/Terrano etc.

Areas of improvement  

 The area of improvement should be on the dealership and ASSC.Also Ford should meet the commitement to deliver the vehicle on time.The increase cost is also addding more frustation to the waiting period where they need to be careful.

 

Looks that too from back side, front look is very ugly,good interior designComfort for rear passenger , not a performer,bad FE

The Ford Ecosport is as good as it gets. While it may not be as powerful as the Duster, it certainly is better. It turns heads with it's premium good looks and is fantastic in every way. With excellent interors. 

On delivery I got the MRF ZV2K tyres which was dissapointing, as I expected the Good Year Assaurances. 

Sadly, Ford Dealers are terrible in every way possible. They first call you to bug you to buy the car, then when you go see the car they act like complete jerks, like we cannot afford the car. Then they slap a huge waiting list on you and do everything it takes to dissuade  you from buying the car. Then when you walk off, they actually call you to beg you to come see the car. 

The delivery of the car was a nightmare, as the dealer kept promising me the car, then demanding extra money, or giving feeble excuses even though I was in the preorder quota. For some reason they took a lot of money for accessories like mats, an option we had to take.

Ford really needs to get a tighter rein on their dealers or people are just going to deviate to the Duster or the upcoming Hyundai, Mahindra and Maruti crossovers.

Power, Price, Comfort, Features,Ford is messing everything up with bad dealers, terrible timing for price hikes and odd feature cuts

Exterior Very Attractive.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is comfortable for Four  that is 3+1. More than that it will be crowdwd. The styling is fantastic. The driver seat has all the features required.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 1.0 Petrol engine is very powerful. The drive quality is good. I have not gone for the long drive which I plan to do this month. The mileage claimed by the company and ARAI standards sounds exaggerated. I will have to wait till I cross 2500 KMs and the first service. The gears are smooth and the drive quality is good.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling of Car is fantastic. The drive is fantastic. It is a powerful car. If you take out you eyes off the Speedometer you will not realised the speed with which you are traveling. It is beatiful drive. There rae lot of features except the Cruise control. At this price we can not expect all the features of high end cars.

Final Words It is a stael at this price. If you like a petrol vehicle go ahead without hesitation.

Areas of improvement Shoulder room and front suspension.

Fantastic design. Seating comfort for driver. Great Features at the price.Shulder room
