The All New Ford Eco-Sport

[Challenger75]

Will schedule a test-drive this weekend sa atc. This would be a perfect city car especially when the rainy season comes. Fuel consumption hopefully will be okay, I don't think it'll be as bad as the 1.5 Avanza with the torque converter AT. Reliability lang talaga ng DCT nila ang main concern ko, unless they were able to correct the issues the Focus and Fiesta DCTs had.

yung headroom pala?
hindi naman mababa parang sedan? yung sa vios gen 2 medyo mababa kung 6 footer sa likod e. medyo naka yuko na.

Hindi sha ganun kababa sa headroom, baka buhok dumikit pero hindi siguro yuyuko.

[Louie Anson Ng]

Ka musta ang kpl ng fiesta? I heard Hindi din daw ganun katipid?

I currently own the latest gen fiesta, and its giving me less than 8kpl with pure city driving in Manila. Around 6.5 pag heavy traffic and around 7.5 pag moderate.

buti naman may Panther Black sa ambiente, yun lang para sa akin ang okay sa price.

problem is, kung sa manila bibili, problem ang PMS. No choice but to go Laus.

Now, Wigo nalang ba, or EcoSport? EcoSport would at least satisfy my craving for an Everest. Magkamukha naman sila, junior lang si EcoSport.

Sir, You have the freedom to have your PMS o any ford dealership. it wont be a problem kung kumuha ka sa manila then paservice mo sa laus group. you wont have a problem with that. hindi tied ang PMS nyo sa dealership na kinuhanan niyo. sa Mirage ng sister ko dahil hindi tumatanggap ng top-up fully synthetic for mirage ang Carworld every 10k sa carworld ako nagpapa PMS. tapos sa diamond greenhills ako 15k, 25k PMS para top-up lang. bottomline is you can have your car serviced at any dealership without issues on warranty. mas masaya ako actually sa diamond kaso may coupon rewards ako kasi may laus card ako.

Taga Pampanga ka sir? Avoid Ford Pampanga. kung ako lang sa manila na lang ako. Ford Pampanga is more of a STEALERSHIP than a DEALERSHIP. hindi na ako kumuha ng Ranger dahil sa kanila. Reserved a Ranger way back before it was launched. within 6 months they wont give me a unit. maybe since i'm paying in cash. i did followed up from time to time but i'm aware na dadating ang Wildtrak. so i opted nalang to reserve and wait for the wildtrak. we talked to the supervisor. wala daw ako sa list ng reservation for the XLT. reason? since they moved on a new building. my dad lost his temper. since he was a loyal LAUS Group customer, way before when LAUS has only Mitsubishi Carworld as dealership. all our trucks for our business and some personal vehicles, and to date all the insurances of almost all our vehicles are from laus group (CGIC). he gave Ford Pampanga a second chance. Months later, Wildtrak was available to the public. supervisor called us immediately. unit was ready for release for us he said. when we talked about terms, guess what? for Bank PO/Cash Transactions, you are required to have an Huper Optik Tint installed on the Wildtrak worth 20k, In-house Insurance, and 5% DI just to get it released. mabait man yung supervisor wala siya magagawa daw kasi yun yung instruction sa taas. he even said that one XLT A/T customer even paid a whopping 16% DI just to get a unit . we kept our cool then just walked away. the next day, I am so disappointed i am about to withraw my 10k reservation from them. but i acted as a random customer when I entered the dealership. I inquired about the XLT A/T. an agent told me "best deal po yun sir mahirap kumuha. All-in po ba?" i said yes. then she told me they have one white and one black XLT A/T available for release immediately. frustrating? I am 12th on a 28 list of reservations for the XLT A/T on the updated list the supervisor showed me. then there are two XLT A/T just sitting on their floor waiting for the best deal. an agent can immediately release one to a walk-in customer.. "if the price is right"

a very disappointing experience sir rachet23...!kahit sino ma hihigh blood talaga sa sistema na inilabas ng nakakataas.but if they are really thinking for the future of the company they will think what is the most important things with regards to the companies future .Pagkakataon na ng Ford para baguhin ang trend pagdating sa impression ng mga car buyers na hindi lang palaging toyota, mitsubishi ang nauna sa listahan ng best car na mabibili sa market.kung naisip lang sana nila na kung majority puro Ford truck or Ford cars ang makikita sa kalye samahan mo pa ng good service and quality units nila baka mabago ang trend ng mamimili ng sasakyan and Ford might ended up high resale value dahil naipakita nila sa masa ang quality ng mga cars nila na test ng publiko at mas nakilala ng husto ang Ford sa lansangan.Ano gugustuhin nila yun minsan kumita at matapos nito ay mawawala at magbababa ulit sila ng presyo dahil di na mabenta dahil meron inilabas ang toyota na mas poging car or pickup kahit lumang makina pa.tandaan nila na 2 latest model car units na nila ang halos di masyado mabenta which is focus and fiesta.kaya katakot takot na discount ang makikita mo sa advertisement nila.kung balak nila hindi langawin ang lineup ng mga cars nila better to familiarize the buyers na Ford is a quality and high resale value car.at magagawa mo lang ito kung majority ng cars in the road ay Ford meaning they sell large volume compare to toyota or mitsu at familiar na ang masa sa brand dahil Ford is bang for the buck.

Sir magkaiba ba ng hitsura ang rim ng titanium sa trend variant?

Based from Ford ph walang difference ang rims ng Trend sa Titanium, both use 16" alloy wheels. Yung sa Ambiente lang naiiba.

double whammy nga e. nagsama ang Ford saka Laus group. ang ganid at ang swapang.

sa manila ka na bumili slaps, at least ganid lang ang kalaban mo. huwag mo na ipatronize si swapang, dami naman nyang dealerships e mabubuhay yan kahit hindi ka sa kanya bumili. kung ako nga sa iyo pati service di ko papagawa dyan kay swapang, mahal service at parts dyan.

3 kotse nabili ko kay swapang. nagbibigay pa ng "20% discount" sa service, ang saya-saya ko pa akala ko swerte ako mabait ang dealer ko. yun pala ang presyo nya 50-60% more sa ibang casa. bwiset!

thank you sir. Natanong ko lang kasi yung sa wildtrak pati xlt ng ranger magkaiba ang rims nila. Mas maganda heto kesa toyota vios kasi malaki ground clearance same price lang sa g variant ng vios.

[cktlcmd]

Pwede pong pa check kung binago na nila yun pagka dikit ng GAS Tank Cover dito sa Ford Ecosport? Sana naka screw na at hindi lang naka dikit ng "cheapipay" na pandikit tulad ng sa Ford Fiesta.


Sa nakapag test drive na po... maingay po ba ang pang ilalim ng Ford Ecosport tulad ng sa Fiesta pag tumatakbo sa hindi pantay na kalsada o yun maraming potholes?


Dagdag pa po... tama po ba na FRONT wheel drive ang Ford Ecosport?

...

[Challenger75]

Guys, here are some reviews of the Ecosport from Australia and India. Not sure if these have been posted already but anyway.

I wonder what "other vehicles that offer better passenger and cargo carrying capability at a similar price point" he is talking about. Serious question. Would you be able to name them?

Sa nakapag test drive na po... maingay po ba ang pang ilalim ng Ford Ecosport tulad ng sa Fiesta pag tumatakbo sa hindi pantay na kalsada o yun maraming potholes?

I didn't notice any noise during my test drive last Friday late afternoon, then again there aren't any potholes in Bonifacio High Street.
By the way, until the Euro Fiesta was updated, the ASEAN Fiesta actually had more sound insulation which was later applied to other global models.

Dagdag pa po... tama po ba na FRONT wheel drive ang Ford Ecosport?

Yes, the ASEAN/Thai EcoSport like the Indian and Chinese EcoSports are FWD-only.
The only plant that builds the 4WD EcoSport is the Ford plant in Brazil since there is a demand for small 4WD crossovers in their market/region.
The 4WD model uses the old flex-fuel 2.0 Duratec engine.
For those curious, most of the empty space under the cargo floor is filled up on the 4WD version (rear differential, independent rear suspension, relocated muffler etc)

[AG4]

Napansin ko sa model unit sa BHS walang handle yung interior sa taas ng window?
See attachment, wala kong nakitang ganito sa model unit. Sa mga pupunta pa lang sa event, pakicheck, tingnan nyo walang handle.

Attachment 20320

*Curious, here's an update on my earlier post.
The local-spec Titanium model with sunroof has no ceiling grab handles. (The Indian-spec Titanium model in the photo you posted has no sunroof)


...but the Trend model (no sunroof) has them based on the photo of kotse.com

[curiosus]

*AG4 I guess this means it's a tradeoff between sunroof and handles since all models have airbags, although walang indication sa specs kung may side airbag, dual-front lang nakalagay. Kung walang side airbag, parang walang sense na walang grab handles.

*slapz Probably Avanza/Innova

All models sold here have dual-airbags.
In the Titanium model with sunroof, the ceiling over the passenger area is lower (to accomodate the sliding sunroof).
It's not really an issue for me if there's no grab handle since I hardly use them. :D

For me, the best model of the range is the P825K Trend MT.

[Newcomer123]

Add to that Chevy's Spin, APV, and all those archaic AUV's still on sale

The only direct competition for me in terms of size and price is the jimny
