How much exactly is the budget? For uphill climbs I much prefer using diesels. Perhaps you can consider the Kia Soul CRDi. Same engine as the Accent but using a traditional 6AT instead of the apparently problematic 7DCT in the Accent.

I have a forester, an ecosport and a jimny and have driven the 3 up to Baguio a couple of times. Of course the forester is the smoothest and the fastest climber while the jimny is the crawler but dependable on rough roads. Surprisingly, the ecosport (titanium) performed well, albeit slow, but if you are not in a hurry, the 4 door option and the price is within your expectations. You just need to get used to the DCT timing when going uphill. It is like driving a manual where you need to let go lightly the accelerator pedal for a split second and push it again to shift to a lower gear and put more power to the engine. You can also use the S option so you can manually choose the gear.

1st gen ecosport? that's from the early 2000's i think look it up

but the current ecosport has been unchanged since its release in 2013/2014. the new facelifted model (already out in india) has a new 3cyl engine and new conventional 6spd A/T (non-DCT)

Apologies Im referring to the 2014 release, I considered it before. So until now same pa din sila tranny?

Hindi pala problematic, sanayan lang talaga ng gamit as what like bro dreamur said.

Ford used the same dry-type DCT for the previous gen Fiesta (1.6L), previous gen Focus (1.6L and 2.0L NA), current gen Fiesta (1.5L NA, 1.0L turbo), and current gen Ecosport (1.5L NA).

If you drive it like a traditional AT, you'd be pissed. Drive it like an MT and it will be to your advantage.

Driving habit plays a role na rin. Sa FB groups about ecosport, most of the members are first time car owners or new drivers. Some of the questions are too basic you will have a whiplash from too much head shaking.

I think only the tuning was updated but it's the same dry-clutch DCT (good for up to 250Nm).

Thanks for pointing that out bro. Yes, tuning lang ang updated pala.

Ford escape?

Ford escape?

I am not sure if the Escape is still being sold locally. Ford sold the 1.6L Ecoboost for a bargain last year of just 1.05M (450k discount) just to clear the inventory. I think you can still get the 2.0L Ecoboost model but it costs around 1.8M.

[chronicle]

Just checked the website. Wala na nga escape.
