VERY BAD CAR TO FOOL CUSTOMER

Exterior

 Exterior good but after a week it feels very odd while seeing some other SUVs like Duster, XUV500 on road.I am lucky to get highend version , else the lowerend seems like a Figo from distance.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Very nice interior, though the space is not good for rear passenger still the features are good and driver comfort is also OK.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 This is the area which is a drawback for this vehicle.I didnt get a test drive but blindly belive this vehicle as I own a Fiesta for 5 years and belive she is one excellent performer with decent Fuel economy and good comfort.But Ecosport is noway near to Fiesta. The engine is not peppy and lot of vibration inside the cabin when driving in lower gear.Gearbox is not smooth like Fiesta and FE I have got as 12KM/L mostly in city.I have driven 2000 KM till date and expect the FE to increase after another 3000KM.

Ride Quality & Handling

 All Ford vehicles are good handler but this is not the same with this  vehicle. Fiesta handles much much better than this.The major problem is body roll at high speed on highways.The steering is also not good like Fiesta.

Final Words

 I have own a Fiesta and an Adventure in my family in addition to this Ecosport. Mainly use Fiesta for daily commute to office. Was thinking earlier to sell it after getting the Ecosport but now I have to change the decision to keep my Fiesta with me for another 5 year atleast. I have been fooled by Ford dealers and paid reviews in favour of Ecosport and now regreting to purchase this vehicle.

Areas of improvement  

See many people who are driving a Hyundai/Maruti will find this Ecosport an excellent VFM buy.But not the case with someone like me who is driving a Ford and FIAT for many years.Ford should maintain its quality with every product not simply make a cheap product like this and gain market by fooling many customers.

 

Features nothing elseEngine is not good, performance is very bad,body roll,not for highway.
