We bought our 2020 EcoSport in March 2021. We have kept up with the suggested maintenance schedule, and have experienced no issues regarding mechanical problems, performance, or durability. The car is small, but comfortably seats 4–5 people. The only thing about small SUV's that lacks convenience is that there is little cargo space, even when you put the rear seats down. It's enough space for 3 carry on bags with the rear seats up. When the rear seats are down, the cargo space is good for a decent size Costco haul, but no large electronics boxes for TV's will fit. We get decent gas mileage of twenty-three MPG with city driving conditions and 29-30 MPG with highway driving. The EcoSport plows through snow that's so deep it seems as though the vehicle won't make it through the snow, but it's never been stuck in snow. Also, our insurance for our SUV is only $360 every 6 months. It's been an economically great, little SUV. They're also cute.…

Surprisingly impressive vehicle

At first I wasn't sure about this vehicle. My choice to buy was driven by availability, affordability, and financing. I liked it but wasn't sure I loved it. Original owner since new, this car has proven over and over again that it was the right choice for me. With the shorter length it makes parallel and regular parking much easier in urban environments; it fits where most vans, trucks, and larger SUV's can't. Zips in and out of traffic with little effort. Acceleration is very quick; moves like a fox... swift and with purpose. MPG was very good, but I had wished for better. All tech features are terrific including the Ford Pass which allows you to auto start your car from literally anywhere using your smart phone, not a control fob. For instance, I was in Florida during the winter, came back home to 8 inches of snow. As soon as I landed I auto started from the runway to warm the car and melt snow. I restarted the car from the shuttle bus back to the parking lot. By the time I got to it, it was warm and toasty, all the snow was melted off the windows. Got in and just drove away. Remarkable improvement to the auto start concept. Mine included a moon roof which has been great for circulating fresh air without the side windows open. Another great feature was the tailgate, which is a side swing door, not a lift gate. The side swing has been great when having to load materials in to the car, no more worries about bumping my head. The fold flat seats have been great for moving bulky items. I was able to neatly stack 25 bags of mulch and move them to my house and I could have added 5 more if I didn't mind blocking the rear window. shocking amount of cargo room. Whether for a 1st time driver or seasoned adult, this car was a welcome surprised. Something else that's a surprise is that my state and insurance company classify this a station wagon, not SUV or truck... so lower rates apply for both. This is a vehicle that if you take care of it, it will take care of you.…

Great gas mileage

I bought this vehicle a month ago and I’ve only had to fill it up twice. I drove over 800 miles in that time.…
