The All New Ford Eco-Sport

Just look at the on board fuel consumption meter to get an approximate.

yes sir. kung nasa likod ka, meron paakyat dun sa gilid. yun yung daan kung pupunta ka sa katipunan tapos pag nag left ka, sa entrance ka ng sm naman. 3 kami sir sa loob. kaya naman umakyat sir kaso talagang parang mag high rev na nga ako e.

palagay ko, kaya naman nya umakyat pero ang concern ko, pag puno na yung kotse, mabigat na siya. si most probably, didiinan mo yung gas, ayun ang masakit kasi sure ako malakas sa gas yun.

kasi ganito sir, ano ba ang FC ng fiesta ngayon? so kung 7kms/liter ang fiesta, sure ako mas malakas sa ecosports kasi mas malaki kaha e.

pls dont get me wrong guys ha. gustong gusto ni mrs yung exterior look. kesa nga naman bumili ka ng sedan, e di eto na almost same price lang sila pero mas mataas ang ground clearance nito di ba? pero if you take a look on the interior look, parang tinipid talaga. engine nya mukha pinilit ilagay lang sa kanya. in the long run baka sa simula lang malakas ang benta pero baka pag lumabas na ang totoong FC nito at performance, baka bigla humina sa market.

only time will tell po..
deciding if you will be the first car owner on the block to bring home that new face... exciting gamble..
i tried that once with the 2005 innova.. winner!
also tried it with the 1996 besta.. winner! ... until my sperm count started going down.. heh heh.

Hoping it would have high fuel consumption so people won't buy and there'll be discounts and no dealer's incentive.

The engine and a lot of the switchgear and components came from the B-segment Fiesta which the EcoSport is based on.
The modifications in the engine compartment are mostly on relocating the electronic components so it can wade through 550mm of water which is on par or higher than that of larger C-segment crossover SUVs.

I think its FC should be acceptable for its size and body-type (B-segment crossover SUV).
Regardless of size, don't expect crossover SUVs to have exactly the same FC as the lighter more streamlined cars they're based on. (example CR-V 2.0 vs Civic 2.0)

My top pick would be the P825K EcoSport Trend MT.

ford isn't exactly known for creating frugal engines except maybe their new ecoboost which we still have yet to see in philipine driving conditions (explorer with the ecoboost engine is just a tad acceptable for fuel consumption for a vehicle of that size)

Can't generalize. Too many different cars, different engine series, different classes.

The Fiesta 1.6 DCT was more economical than the Vios 1.5 4AT. The 1.5 DCT Fiesta is better still.

Focus 1.6 DCT, so-so... 2.0, pretty good for the powah. The Focus TDCI, RIP, was fantastic... economy was good, wtih butt-kicking performance.

Old Lynx 1.6.. crap economy, 1.3... great... 2.0... good for the power.

Ranger 2.2, great. 3.2, great on highway, merely okay in traffic.

Explorer, V6, not bad compared to other V6s. 2.0T... better.

Escape 2.0, horrible. Escape 2.3, acceptable.

Ford's reputation for guzzling really came from the Expedition (hell, waht do people expect, 2.5 tons and a V8!)... and was reinforced by issues with the Lynx AT and the first Escapes. Otherwise, their economy is not bad compared to competitors... and better, in the case of some models.

I'm disappointed there's no mention of a clutch that will survive the apocalypse...

I was able to test this in BGC and ang napansin ko nga is yung vibration ng engine... but comparing it to new gen fiesta, medyo same naman nga. I guess, normal lang talaga ito - ford cars-gas?, or this variant/platform?.

Question: if your company will let you choose your car and this is one of the options. will you still get the trend AT or will you get the titanium?

Conditions are:
Company will shoulder the cost of the car
Company will shoulder the maintenance/registration/insurance
Employee will shoulder gas
Employee Preference: A/T
