Poor gas mileage

The comfort of the car is great. The interior designs is not up to the quality that I experienced with my C-Max. The reason for the poor grade on performance, value for the money and reliability - first I hate when it shifts into an almost spot when you are waiting for a light as a couple of times cars were approaching the back of my car and I had to move quickly but the car hesitated, second the fuel usage is terrible as a small SUV I thought you would have had the same kind of mileage as my C-Max, third it has been reliable but I expected more umph. I think you should switch out the platform or makeup from the C-Max and put it into the Ecosport so it is more fuel efficient

This car was everything I was looking for

This is the most fun car to drive that I have ever owned, o was concerned about the small storage area but with the back seats folded down it more than met my needs , Also love the back up camera, I’m vertically challenged and always had a problem backing up, Problem solved!

Great car

My 2018 Ecosport is the best car that I’ve ever owned. I bought this car new and so far Ford motor company has only had to deal with routine maintenance. This car is extremely reliable.

Very satisfied with the vehicle.

This is tha AWD and gets 25-26 mpg and 33-35 on road trips. Only negatives are very little leg room in back seats and no spare.

Fun Vehicle to Drive

This small SUV is fun to drive with lots of extras. It handles nicely on turns, rainy weather, gas mileage. It practically drives itself. I just love it.

2018 Ecosport SES

I went from my 2012 Ford Focus SE to the 2018 EcoSport SES The focus had the hybrid manual/automatic transmission which gave unprecedented gas milage. Which made the Ecosport's comparative milage disappointing. That is the only thing I missed. This Ecosport SES is awesome. I'm 6 feet tall 260lbs. and have plenty of room. grandkids have adequate backseat space. Controls and features are very good. Love the sound system. Amazing what you can fit in the vehicles with the rear seats down and the swing tailgate open. Nice factory roof rack. Performance is good, turning radius and parking ease are a huge plus in the city. This is one of the tallest SUVs in this size category making road visibility excellent. The back up camera and side mirror obstruction sensor notification work excellent. I test drove other SUVs in this category and found them to be either over priced or handling not to my liking. Very happy with my EcoSport!! ***Did I mention the heat. I have never seen cabin/defrost heat this fast from a car. ****
