No value for money

Exterior : Good. Looks like SUV but not in reality. Well built, Sturdy looks. It seats you at a good height which is good feeling.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) : Horrible. Rear seat does not accomodate even two adults. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox : Jerks at the speed of 100 KMPH. You can see other small vehicles over taking you easily. Do not race with other vehicles as Ecosport may topple in curves at high speed. Breaking is not good. You will not have any control over this vehicle if you are over 110 KMPH. When it comes to fuel economy, this vehicle is a white elephant. (Do not know about diesel variant as mine is petrol vehicle). I cut down my travel considerable because of this. Nothing to say about gear box - Nothing speacial about it.

 

Ride Quality & Handling : No doubt - Your ride will be smooth if you are on a nice road. Off road driving is a nightmare. Suspension is the worst I have seen. You feel like ploughing in a wheat feild on a tractor when you are negotiating even a small hump. I am feeling short of bad words to curse ford for this below average suspension system. Steering is the only thing I liked on this vehicle. Very easy to drive and the steering is so light and riding is stress free.

Final Words : I made a big mistake in life buying this vehicle. My previous vehicle - a maruti Zen estilo was far far better than this. I am really missing that car. I bought a worst vehicle with high cost. Do not buy Ford Ecosport especially if you are expecting a smooth and fast ride from this. This is show-off vehicle with nice looks and worst performance. Buying experience was even disgusting than its performance. The sales representatives had the attitude as if they are selling a Mercedes product. Believe me, they quoted only 4 Lacs when I wanted to sell the vehicle back to them after 4 months of purchase.

 

Areas of improvement : No comments. I do not think Ford will care for any improvement for this car.
