2020 Ford EcoSport consumer reviews

I would just like the first start with I worked for Ford so I will say if you have the 1.0 eco-boost engine there are a lot of issues…. But with that said, I have the 2.0 four-wheel-drive, and it is absolutely an amazing vehicle. Super loaded. I have heated seats sunroof, heated, steering wheel, navigation , lane, keep and more I love the way the trunk opens sideways instead of up! It is very peppy and again as long as you have the 2.0 and not the 1.0 very reliable.

Please don't make the expensive mistake I did in purchasing a 2020 Ford EcoSport, the motor in them is no good, trying to replace mine now!

Only one thing.spare tire please.. really ain't a bad ride. So far no complaints. Really rides well to be so small.and I do get around 32 mpg I have the 1.0

Leased this car for transportation to start new school semester on the Friday before COVID started. Just finished the lease and decided to pay off the balance. Has excellent power and everything is easy to operate. Only 1 small issue and its the limited space for passengers in the back seat. Other than that my local dealer does my service and it runs like a champ.

To be fair this is not my car I drive it at work for the municipality I work for. It's horrible on gas average 13.6 mpg. The transmission went out at 28,000 miles, in the shop 2 months. Then, it just cut out on me while turning off a busy street, the people behind me were not happy. In the shop 1 week. 3 weeks later same thing, just cut out on me. In the shop 4 days. 4 weeks later guess what cut out on me again in heavy traffic been in the shop this time 8 days so far. In my opinion this car is a piece of crap, Thank God I'm not paying for it.

Bought the car and the engine has blown up twice. Then got it back didn’t last a hour and the engine overheated. A/c line cracked and now the transmission all under 60000 miles .

Just bought it 2 months ago first trip in it got stranded in London ontario the fird dealer had it for 2 days still can't figure it out. I'm taking it back

3 cylinder and we love it 1.0 Ecoboost plenty of power cruises out on highway 80 - 100 mph glides down the road like an old time Buick for the folks who say it does not have enough power that is wrong. You have to drive the car the way it was designed. When you take off drop it down to S or hit the gas pedal it will respond!

Was lured into a 2020 ses thanks to all the tech, price and size. Interior wise, for me the seats and position never felt comfortable. The lumbar support creates an odd bend to the seat that never adjusted to a comfortable place. The tech was solid, zero complaints there. The one hang up I could not get past was the size of the tank and actual mpg I was getting in city driving, most of what I do. The absolute highest mpg I achieved in the week and a half I had it was 16. No matter how much I liked any other aspect, this one thing alone was a deal breaker. I could have gotten used to the seating issues with time I think, but looking down at that constant reminder of my current average mpg being so low, no thanks. The other bigger issue is all who have said the car has no power when pressing the gas, we’re correct. I came from 2016 Mazda cx3, so I wasn’t driving anything sporty or powered in comparison. Making turns and pressing the gas to accelerate was always a chore for the car. Considering a more powered much larger suv gets better gas mileage, trading this one back in for a Rav4.

PROS: fairly good gas mileage - I was getting 31.7 mpg. I liked the connectivity (Bluetooth, Apple, Siri, etc.) and seatwarmers. CONS: it's not very powerful, especially when the a/c is on. I couldn't get the FordPass app to work so I couldn't use the remote start. I even went online to try to figure it out - the Ford website wasn't helpful at all. I think it's way overpriced for what you get, especially since it's a very small car and doesn't have a great profile. Bottom Line: It's a good car for one small person. I wouldn't recommend it if you're tall or have a few kids. I'd also buy one used, not new. The pricing for a new Ecosport is ridiculous.
