I totally disagree with this woman’s review. I own a Ecosport Titanium X Pack and I thoroughly enjoy driving this car in and around town. Personally, I believe that the Ford Ecosport is one of the best small SUV’s out there.
Yeah, I think this review was sponsored by Vauxhall or Volkswagen or something. My Mother has this exact car and I’ve even borrowed it for a month when mine was broken. I ended up living this car, it’s not perfect, but it has personally. If you think of this more as a Ford Fiesta Estate with a tall ride height then you’ll be happy.
What a stupid review of such a great car. I have a fiesta and ecosport and the ecosport has much more rear leg room than a fiesta. The ecosport is a great family car too. I also noticed they didn't point out that once the rear seats are folded down you can lift them up adding even more space. So ignore this review and try this car for yourself.
I had a Fiesta for years and I recently drove an EcoSport... I must have driven a completely different EcoSport because I cannot agree with almost anything this babe has said. It handles like a Fiesta, the interior is waaaaaaay nicer than the crap that Seat and VW put in cares in the same price range, it is a nice car to live with. And it looks very cool in blue. She recommends skipping this cheap SUV and getting the Duster, but the Duster is not on the same level of quality and creature comforts.
@@FlorinC1984 I totally disagree regarding the cabin on Seat, I have a 2018 Leon FR and I love the interior particularly the infotainment system, colourful and bright, easy to navigate and snappy. Interior mood lighting is good at night time and it's one of the best looking hatchbacks in its class. Of course this is subjective I suppose but the interior of the new Seat's are far from crap.
@@Addixxtion , the company I work bought 2 months ago a Seat Ateca (similar to a WV Tiguan) and it is full of plasticky pannels all over, the touchscreen is absolute garbage compared to what Peugeot uses, for example, and the 1.4 TSI is completely inadequate. Overpriced (27k EUR) mediocre VW crap. Sorry.
@@FlorinC1984 well all I can say is my Seat Leon FR is all soft touch no plastic crap, the touchscreen is the best I've ever used (Matt also states in a lot of videos it's one of the best systems in a car of this class) the Ateca is based on the lesser Ibiza so it's their budget SUV (hence the plastics) the Terraco is much better. Anyway, I've got not regrets with the Leon it's does everything I want it to do and I've had zero issues with it so I'm happy. I'm due a change next year so I'll see what's about then but at the moment I've got no reason to change from Seat. Each to their own.
@@Addixxtion , that makes me wonder about the Ateca. And it's 27k EUR price tag. On the other hand, the Leon has always been a sexy car, even the first generation. The better Golf.
She's so negative, completely disagree with everything she said. It would be better if Matt Watson would review it on CarWow. Great car, yes an improvement over the previous model but still a very good smart car.
Well I have to disagree totally with the video. I’m 22 years old and have just brought a brand new st line model. I’ve had so many people coming up to me saying how lovely it is and okay a lot depends on your option of colour and wheels but I think it looks great. Really decent room on the inside and I love the opening of the boot, overall I’m very happy with my new Ecosport. 👍
I agree - once reviewers have made up their minds, they simply trot out the same old drivel. The side opening rear door is only a problem if you back up to a wall, or a tree. And the location of the cup holders (that I'll never use).. ye gods. I test drove one last week and I don't recognise it as the car she claims to be reviewing.
It’s a great car and I can see so many comments supporting the car on how good it is , giving silly reasons and stating them as negatives and leaving positive things like the styling and features available for the price and build quality of the car which are never spoken makes me wonder that maybe there is some issue with carbuyer and Ford because Matt did the same to the pre-facelift ecosport !
I own the ST-Line version of this car. I don’t recognise any of the negatives in this review. I bought it precisely because it WASN’T a Juke or a Captur. I like its quirky looks. Also; 1. It DOES NOT lean heavily into corners. 2. Ride quality is fine. 3. Peppy engine. 4. Holds its own on motorways. 5. Good level of kit. I really don’t understand why motoring journalists have such a downer on this car.
Had my EcoSport ST line for 18 months and still love it. Can’t agree with anything she said on HER opinion of this car. Looks great and has most options you need in a car.
These car is meant for poor developing country like mine where most people can't afford a real suv. So I'm nt surprised why all the comments are negative. We bought these car n were like very happy n satisfied with it... Funny how different parts of the world sees things...
Kevin Knight I’m currently in the US and I was so surprised to see one here. I’m so happy it was made available here and I will definitely be considering this as a second car.
Not the same experience ive had, i have one of these as my 2nd car and its great, drives lovely had no problems, maybe the fuel efficiency can be a little better but its not that bad, seems she has it in for this car.
How can a door opening be "awful"? My wife who is relatively short thinks the side opening rear tailgate is very handy. This is a real hatchet job. Wow, really scathing. I see some owners really like it. Well there you go. There's no accounting for taste. I guess we plebs will just have to grin and bare it.
I've been in the back of one of these (behind a 6'1" driver) and find the review comments on rear width and legroom to be utterly bewildering, it may not be the biggest in its class but it's certainly far from being the basket case portrayed here. Sort of makes me wonder, how many other supposedly 'negative' aspects of the review were over egged?
Wow, really Carbuyer???. This is good car in it's segment and I don't know how I made it till the end of the video. It sounded very biased right from the beginning and it is not an in-depth review rather a criticism review.
This is the car which virtually invented the compact SUV market in India and sold a great deal for a long while. This is also one of the most drivable cars in India. Surely, how good a model is depends on what other options you have in the market and what cars you have been driving until then.
i have driven this car for abt two years now. to me, this is one of the best car for thr price range with duster. but your interpretation simply underestimates the car to many. this car deserves much more than that.. i now hav got a feeling that your channel is becoming biased..
I love that she mentioned being parked on the street and not being able to open the back! Im browsing used vehicles for funsies on carvana and saw a 2018 ecosport. Think I'll keep my modest 2014 neon green hyundai accent hatchback for now after all!
One, if not the best, cars we ever owned. The cargodoor is great and gives us no problems, only has advantages (since my wife and I differ in length quiet a bit) More then enough space for passengers (even if they're 6 feet) Sitting nice high and easy access to the seats (front and back) Driving this car has been a pleasure (for over 3 years now) Too bad thy don't make them anymore or have a hybrid version coming up in 2024.
Best selling ford in India, this is what kept them breathing in the market otherwise dominated by suzuki and hyundai. They better stick with the spare tire on the rear door to make it look more proportionate
Iv'e recently bought a 2018 Ecosport Titanium, coming from a Focus, as I wanted a higher driving position. I don't agree with anything she has said. It handles very well, quiet on the road and fuel figures are also good.. The boot is small though, apart from that I'm very pleased with it.
We've owned the ecosport for two years now. i don't understand why she's so determined in assassinating this car. It's roomy and comfy, altho not that spacious. It's quiet and smooth, tho not like a camry. It has decent fuel consumption (we own the diesel) and the 6th gear makes it very enjoyable to drive on the motorway. it has decent acceleration for quickly overtaking slow drivers quickly, altho by no means it's a performance car. it's a car that doesnt excel in anything, but does the rest quite good. and for a very good price. If you want a small crossover with great value for money, get this.
My dad has a Old shape Titanium S, and it’s a great car. It comfortably sits 4 adults, the boot opening sideways has never been an issue. It drives well on a day to day basis, and it’s very frugal. So what this woman is on about I have no idea. In my opinion it’s all lies. I have a Kuga, and both are great cars.
I have no opinion of the car but have to smile at the marketing people that managed to fit 3 buzz words into one name eco, sport, and suv !!! Sounds like a car name from the old Top gear programme "Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust...
i just love this car more and more after every drive...its capabilities will surprise you. but you car buyer reviewers seems biased to me in the way you express yourself.. ford doesnt intend this car to be superbig or super expensive.. u sud understand the prixe you pay and the flexibility you get for the price.. car buyers reviews are getting worst day by day
Reviewer nowadays assuming SUV's crossover to handle like nissan gtr..I think carbuyers only high lighting the few negatives instead of the positive side of the car. It's solid and good looking car don't even think of Renault over ford.. you will definitely regret.
Solution to the boot issue. 0:52 1. Get in the back seats. 2. Fold the seats down. 3. Put the stuff you need in the boot in the boot. 4 put the seats back up.
You should come to Brasil in a Special Vídeo and test our cars. You’ll se that Ecosport could be a decent car (specially if you compare to the most sold ones)!
that's like me in the US. i bought a certified 2020 and i haven't had any issues with it. everyone that i've seen reviews from over here says it's a horrible car. honestly the 4 banger makes average fuel economy similar to other 4WD or AWD domestics (Chevolet Trailblazer, Jeep Compass & Renegade) and i have good level of visibility and everything. my only complaint is the crap Bridgestone Ecopia tires on it. they provide poor traction in snow. i had Firestone Weathergrip tires on my Fiat 500 and even that grabbed the road better which says something. i gotta replace them with some Weathergrips but other than that, i enjoy driving it
It's baffling to read the comment section where every comment is made about why this is a bad thing because it's designed for developing markets. Btw what's one mainstream car build in and for UK? Nothing... Indians own jaguar and land rover, Germans own the mini and Bentley Tvr is still owned by Russians and lotus is owned by Malaysians
Hmm... I was a big fan of the Ecosport's effective predecessor, the Ford Fusion. I went through two of those before I moved to a Tourneo Courier which I did mostly because the first release of the Ecosport looked dire. When I saw the redesign, I hoped that they would at leat has done something about that useless tail end and that the thing would be at least close to the Fusion. Doesn't look that way and though the Tourneo is more van-like and does appear to share the pulling issues with this Ecosport, it does have a back end that you can access easily which opens UP, not SIDEWAYS. When will the Ford designers get that through their thick skulls?
Gavin Mcinally it's just a cheap car made for India. Problem is in the uk we get ripped off, should be cheaper than the fiesta. In the lowest spec with the smallest engine it's probably not a bad little workhorse but it's not a real ford. Even the crash rating is poor. 4 star ? Fiesta gained 5 star in 2008!
The car isn’t great but I’ve noticed a common trend that car buyer is very negative about most cars noticing every single negative thing about a car. Need to balance it more . More positive videos please
At last, you have finally realized that having the camera outside the car whilst reviewing the back seats is not the cleverest way to do it, nor the most innovative.
they kept on saying nissan kicks is better...well...fuel consumption is almost the same in reality between kicks and ecosport...plenty of kicks owner now complains about transmission problems..handling of ecosport is much better than kicks..when loaded, ecosport handles better...
Hi I regularly read ur reviews. I have a question i am planning to buy a car for my wife to pick and drop kids from school. And i have come across FORD ECOSPORTS. 2016 automatic 23 k kms done. Can u pls suggest that should i buy or not as ford is out of india and will it give me resale value later. Pls ur suggestion will help me.
Didn't bother folding the seats down to see if its flat. I'm looking for an automatic suv with a flat boot so can put an air bed inside or roof racks so can put a tent on top
...Worst 'roads', pavements are 3 stairs high (ground clearance is CRUCIAL) and parking is a nightmare. I'm 6'3 and hate 'falling down' into a car. I prefer 4wd. A Jeep Renegade is bigger, and a Vitara has less ground clearance, so this seems a good choice.
Would be pleased to know what car this woman drives, saying that she probably designs the car herself as just doesn’t seem anything pleases her. I think its a great suv
The car boot is enough to put me off before I even hear anything else. It's no good for trying to get your shopping in if somebody is parked right up your rear in a carpark
I wouldn't want this model I love the older one with the spare wheel on the back. It's a shame new cars don't that anymore EcoSport is probably one of the newest cars to still have that
I love how reviewers say it doesn't give you the confidence to overtake on the motorway. But it's BS. You need 50 hp for that. Literally. A 50 hp car can do 80 mph and the gaps on the motorway are large and the difference in speed is low. That's assuming you don't go on the motorway and drive 50 mph. In which case you shouldn't be driving. You need the confidence to overtake on country roads. Someone going 40 mph and there is some oncoming traffic. The gaps are smaller so you need to get a move on. THAT'S why you need power. Not for motorways.
lol wow it heavy she must never do anything for herself , can not seat 3 across -- name 1 Crossover in this class that can . The reason the back opens the way it does, is that is made to carry a full size spare wheel . It drives the way it does because it was made for BAD roads ; not European BAD but real bad roads . It has more ground clearance and can be bought with 4 wheel drive . So a real SUV .It Not a crossover that is built never to go off road .
Chris Till They're selling this crap in America now too and they're getting rid of the Fiesta entirely over here. Why would anyone buy this over a Fiesta?
shes even pronouncing it wrong even tho shes destroyed the car in her review. lol. its a good car for dealing with the elements. especially in a place like north east ohio. the midwest.
why England reviewer have negative opinions on each car which is not built in England? They must be paid by the local producers to this lousy kind of reviews. I saw the same attitude from "carwow" same clown!
I just don’t understand the Ford Ecosport. To me, it seems like Ford just launched a random SUV just to fill a gap in their car range, but without actually bothering to check whether it was actually good or not. It really bugs me every time I see one of these on the road; bought by people who were too innocent and therefore pushed into buying one by a desperate salesperson. :(
Tech OS All the EcoSport is is a model Ford has sold in India for years that they flung into Europe and North America. It was never intended to be sold outside of Asia which is why it doesn't really work for Europe or North America.
@@97I30T the 2018 is built in Europe - Romania cause now is intended for the European market. The ph1 model was crap in all aspects compared to the 2018. The 2018 version is a fantastic car for its price.

No it's not lol I had it as a rental I haven't found a single good thing about it.

The ST Line looks particularly good
Typical ford great to look at it but poor overall performance.
Yours fitted with the 18inch or 17inch wheels? Deciding on getting one but undecided on the wheels
I wouldn't take much notice of this review. I have a 2016 model and love it and certainly haven't found the side opening boot a problem.
I’ll just say that I’m 6 foot 3 and I’m fine in the back

I see some owners really like it. Well there you go. There's no accounting for taste. I guess we plebs will just have to grin and bare it.

I Love the Ecosport I Think Its Beautiful and Ford offers a 4 cyl(166HP) 4wd in the USA. Im considering one
The door is hinged that way because in other markets the spare wheel is on the outside of the tailgate.
Well its not a good design for here in the USA. I am happy she mentioned this practical point early.
I have it and it’s amazing. If you can afford it? Get it ✅
I do like the front end very much!
The comment section says it all.... Reviews from real car owners 😅.

The hatch door opening sideways and the lack of rear cargo space was a deal breaker for me. I'm looking at the Honda HRV or Subaru Crosstrek.
Had my titanium x since 2016, love the car no problems cheap to run, cheap tax, and at 140bhp for a 1ltr it’s punchy enough to get you a to b
The eco sport is the exact opposite of what you are saying .

Good review! Thanks.
Why she is so negative?
Please tell me which car will be best between Renault Duster vs Ford Ecosport?
For as little as it costs I guess it's perfect
Heard the ecosport got problems on transmissions lately...we was about to bite the offer but good thing we dont.
it's actually a really good car if you see it and drive in it irl. Comfortable on the inside and looking amazing on the outside.
best car that compititors cant even dare to come close in its segment

Gavin Mcinally it's just a cheap car made for India. Problem is in the uk we get ripped off, should be cheaper than the fiesta. In the lowest spec with the smallest engine it's probably not a bad little workhorse but it's not a real ford. Even the crash rating is poor. 4 star ? Fiesta gained 5 star in 2008!
I had a kuga 1.5 186 ecoboost driving sensibly never getting over 22mpg very costly in fuel if doing long journeys.
Is it that bad on fuel economy?
The car isn’t great but I’ve noticed a common trend that car buyer is very negative about most cars noticing every single negative thing about a car. Need to balance it more . More positive videos please
Well... if there's nothing positive about the car why come up with something positive to say?
Lots of positives but what do you expect when a woman does a review of a car. Stick to you kitchen lady.
At last, you have finally realized that having the camera outside the car whilst reviewing the back seats is not the cleverest way to do it, nor the most innovative.
they kept on saying nissan kicks is better...well...fuel consumption is almost the same in reality between kicks and ecosport...plenty of kicks owner now complains about transmission problems..handling of ecosport is much better than kicks..when loaded, ecosport handles better...
so she had a had time to find the handle to open the rear door. that tells a lot. about her
Hi
I regularly read ur reviews. I have a question i am planning to buy a car for my wife to pick and drop kids from school. And i have come across FORD ECOSPORTS. 2016 automatic 23 k kms done. Can u pls suggest that should i buy or not as ford is out of india and will it give me resale value later. Pls ur suggestion will help me.
Would love to but it but i cant look past the boot mechanism
Didn't bother folding the seats down to see if its flat. I'm looking for an automatic suv with a flat boot so can put an air bed inside or roof racks so can put a tent on top
Who’s is better this or escape 2.0 awd
You shouldn't be allowed to review cars anymore.
It has four wheels and an engine, what more do u want?
...Worst 'roads', pavements are 3 stairs high (ground clearance is CRUCIAL) and parking is a nightmare. I'm 6'3 and hate 'falling down' into a car. I prefer 4wd. A Jeep Renegade is bigger, and a Vitara has less ground clearance, so this seems a good choice.
This is heart broken for me, because I just bought this car, waiting to collect in from the dealer in a few days.
What is up with the lighting while Ginny were at the back seat???
Would be pleased to know what car this woman drives, saying that she probably designs the car herself as just doesn’t seem anything pleases her. I think its a great suv
The car boot is enough to put me off before I even hear anything else. It's no good for trying to get your shopping in if somebody is parked right up your rear in a carpark
I wouldn't want this model I love the older one with the spare wheel on the back. It's a shame new cars don't that anymore EcoSport is probably one of the newest cars to still have that
Made here in Craiova, Romania 🇷🇴
I love how reviewers say it doesn't give you the confidence to overtake on the motorway. But it's BS.
You need 50 hp for that. Literally. A 50 hp car can do 80 mph and the gaps on the motorway are large and the difference in speed is low. That's assuming you don't go on the motorway and drive 50 mph. In which case you shouldn't be driving.
You need the confidence to overtake on country roads. Someone going 40 mph and there is some oncoming traffic. The gaps are smaller so you need to get a move on.
THAT'S why you need power. Not for motorways.
lol wow it heavy she must never do anything for herself , can not seat 3 across -- name 1 Crossover in this class that can . The reason the back opens the way it does, is that is made to carry a full size spare wheel . It drives the way it does because it was made for BAD roads ; not European BAD but real bad roads . It has more ground clearance and can be bought with 4 wheel drive . So a real SUV .It Not a crossover that is built never to go off road .
I love how they took a very solid and competitive car like the Fiesta and absolutely ruined it in basically every way possible.
Chris Till hahahaha was literally thinking the same thing. Agree. Dont forget that they get more money for the Eco as well. Sad
Chris Till how did they ruin the fiesta?
Chris Till They're selling this crap in America now too and they're getting rid of the Fiesta entirely over here. Why would anyone buy this over a Fiesta?
The only thing i like about this car is, its colour. Ginny was't too impressed either.
And we all know Ginny is suuuuuuch an expert..
Negative marketing
Ginny looks great!
Why do people talk about Ginny more than the car?
Heavens_Time I never seen a "cat" review btw Ginny is much more interesting than the cars she usually review
I'd make her face look like a plasterer's radio
Heavens_Time nope, but I would love to!
these comments are ok, just compliments but I seen others that are just cringe
This review is not really a true reflection of the car, they're being overly critical for no reason, most other reviews are fairer to the car
Whats the point of this car when ford have the puma.?
shes even pronouncing it wrong even tho shes destroyed the car in her review. lol. its a good car for dealing with the elements. especially in a place like north east ohio. the midwest.
she say a dacia duster is more too choose? She need a doctor!!!!
And you need an english class
Johannes u need to spell ur name ryt..it's like girl moaning.
why England reviewer have negative opinions on each car which is not built in England? They must be paid by the local producers to this lousy kind of reviews. I saw the same attitude from "carwow" same clown!
In india renault captur is considered as a insult to buy when you can have ecosport, sonet, xuv 300
I perfer rivals like the Seat Arona
Thats the last Carbuyer review I'll ever look at ,she obviously has no idea how to review a car .
I just don’t understand the Ford Ecosport. To me, it seems like Ford just launched a random SUV just to fill a gap in their car range, but without actually bothering to check whether it was actually good or not. It really bugs me every time I see one of these on the road; bought by people who were too innocent and therefore pushed into buying one by a desperate salesperson. :(
Tech OS All the EcoSport is is a model Ford has sold in India for years that they flung into Europe and North America. It was never intended to be sold outside of Asia which is why it doesn't really work for Europe or North America.
@@97I30T the 2018 is built in Europe - Romania cause now is intended for the European market. The ph1 model was crap in all aspects compared to the 2018. The 2018 version is a fantastic car for its price.
The eco sport is a real pain to live the renault kajar is way better
It looks like an angry mutated version of the KA
