2018 Ford EcoSport consumer reviews

I absolutely love the Ecosport that I purchased. The only complaint I have is that I wish there was more room in the backseat, but it?s a very small issue and likely won?t be much of a problem since I won?t have many passengers anyway.

Considering my husband and I didn't have the need for a large SUV to haul our camper any longer due to purchasing an F150 pickup, we still wanted the reliability of an AWD vehicle for our second car since we had a sportier car that needed new tires and was never going to be very safe in winter weather. I accidentally stumbled upon the Ford EcoSport Titanium when I was searching our local Ford dealer's website. It seemed to have every feature we were looking for and after driving it I was convinced. I was a bit let down to find out that it didn't have auto start but it only got better after we found out that by downloading the Ford app, we can start "Foxy" (the nickname I gave her) directly from our phones no matter where we are! I have yet to get into a cold car once since the weather turned cold!! The only thing I wish it had was a CD player. Yes, I'm old school and don't have music loaded on my phone and still listen to CD's. Another option that would be beneficial is having the right armrest/storage a little higher as it's a bit low to rest your arm comfortably. Otherwise, as a mom with grown children that used to have to have larger vehicles to transport multiple children, I LOVE this smaller option! I loved my Dodge Dart but I love my new Ecosport even more!

I am very happy with this purchase. I opted for the S trim for the value + added. All in with the A Plan, $1,000 rebate, first-responder $500 credit, and tax/title/doc fees was $19,400. The only option I added was the rear mount spare tire. The base model doesn't have a spare. The tailgate swings open from passenger side out. I do not parallel park, so this is moot. You are seated in a high position which is ideal. The rear seat is very limited in legroom. With the front seaters moving up a couple notches, legroom in back gets better. The engine is 1.0l 3 cylinder ecoboost?. My 0-60 time is 10.0 seconds. I have reached 105 mph on the expressway. The acceleration is surprisingly good for a 3 cylinder. The back seat folds down to provide options in regards to cargo room. I have 2,000 total miles driven, and my real-time measured mpg has been 28.4, 29.1, and 28.5. The entertainment console is basic SYNC?and my Motorola Android phone did sync-up easily to the system. My Sirius XM, YouTube, Netflix, and all apps for that matter, channel through my phone to the entertainment system. The value of this car can be erased by upgrading to Titanium trim package for $8,000 more, might as well just go with the Escape or Edge. If you want to special order an EcoSport, expect a 7-10 month turnaround because these are assembled in Chennai, India. I recommend this car in the S trim option, very satisfied for the price paid.

This was my first vehicle I've purchased from a dealership. I loved the black Ecosport - especially the barn door in the back. The Sync 3 entertainment system is well worth the money for the Titanium edition. The black leather looks great, and I love the automatic start/stop.

Meets my needs. Better on gas than my previous car. Like the 4wd for Wisconsin winters and it feels safe. It?s great for just my dog and me. Seats fold down easy in back

Love the style , very comfortable with all the bells and whistles great gas mileage and sharp Very roomy and comfortable seats , heated stearing

The only things I don?t like is that there is no interior light in the back seat. Hard to see in there at night when I go back to get something out. Wish I could permanently turn off the auto stop rather than turning it off every time. But otherwise I love the look and ride and comfort of my new car.

I decided on a whim this past Labor Day to stop in at my local Ford dealership and look at the Escapes. I had a 12 year-old Fusion that had been a great car so I had a good opinion of Ford. This little EcoSport was sitting there all by itself, the only one they had, and I liked the look of it and after a test drive, I decided I really liked it! I have the SE 4WD and it has all the tech I wanted: remote key-less entry and push button start, Ford Sync system with Apple Car Play, heated seats, rear-view camera, sunroof, etc. I was surprised how many amenities it had. Got 0% interest through Ford Motor Credit too so that made it a sweet deal! I really like it overall, but it is rough riding due to its short wheel base and on start up it can be a little rough in the gear shifting. But other than that it really is an awesome little car and to me it looks like a cute little guppy, so that's what I've dubbed it! If I had a lot of highway driving I would want something else, but I just drive around town and to work. If we need to get on the highway and take a trip we have my husband's huge Ram truck with all the amenities (heck we could live in that thing...) But all-in-all I do love this little fella, and it's a ton of fun to drive! It really is! If you are just looking for a fun little SUV to drive around and you don't need a people hauler, this is a good one! Is it perfect? No....but it's not bad and it's super fun. I think I made a good purchase.

Has great navigation and lots of room as well. Has 2 USB ports for easy charging or connection via Samsung or Apple. Great sun/moonroof and has all the conveniences incluging backup camera!

This is the perfect size car for me. Love all the features especially the blind spot indicators on the mirrors. It?s a great ride. Very comfortable.
