"Like the Fiesta, the EcoSport uses a 6-speed dual clutch automatic which is smooth for as long as you know how to use it."

As long as you know how to use it. How to use it properly ba?

Sa mga reviews walang nabanggit na shuddering like sa mga posted here.

Hmm siguro i need a test drive to answer my questions. Sa reviews wala ka talaga mabasa concerning AT tranny, i mean yes meron pero yung issues na nababasa mo dito sa board wala dun sa review.

I sent James Deakin a mesage since he reviewed ecosport, and he said definitely no shuddering for the A/T variant

yes sir. test drive ka. kunwari stop and go traffic. para maramdaman mo. yung tipong aarangkada ka na. tapos biglang slow down. tapos arangkada ulit, tapos slow down na naman.

another is floor the pedal and nothing will happen. haha. tataas rpm pero walang sudden surge. so nakakaalangan magovertake sa highway

Regarding lag:

ENGINE PERFORMANCE

The powertrain, lifted directly from the Fiesta, performs as you'd expect. The dual-clutch 1.5-liter motor sounds rather agricultural when lugging at low speeds, and there's still some hesitation and surge in heavy stop-and-go traffic. While punchy torque and six gears get you around nicely, a little more power and a more responsive manual mode would be nice.

Highway economy peaks at around 18-19km/L at 80kph on the hilly south highway, about 1-2km/L down on the Fiesta 1.5. In slower in-city driving, fuel economy is about 6.5-8km/L, about 0.5-1.0km/L less than the Fiesta.

Ford EcoSport Titanium review in the Philippines | TopGear.com.ph

The proper technique is not to drive it like you do most automatics... where you can simply stab at the pedal and let the torque converter slip until the wheels and engine are in sync. You drive it like a manual, ease into the pedal while the clutch is "out", and wait for the transmission to engage the next gear before applying more power.

That said... it's a minor irritant rather than a deadly sin... and only crops up in certain kinds of traffic (slow, hot, erratic stop-and-go in heavy traffic)... but in regular stoplight to stoplight, it is okay.

I'd still rather have the manual transmission.

well, aside sa shuddering there's a debate on how durable the DCT is... some said give it more time(3/5years) you'll see the problem... kaya I consider the M/T to have peace of mind againts A/T transmission ng EcSpo...

Please let us know your take once you've done the test drive... Goodluck!

Hi, where did you test drive the Ford Ecosport? I've been eyeing on this car for months now but the dealers don't seem to respond well with reservations. I am looking to purchase this unit as a christmas present to myself. Is there anyone who can help me? Dealers? Friends? Ford corporate people? I'm buying it in cash so it won't be a problem, the problem is the unit itself.

All leads welcome as I really want to have it before the year ends. Please send me an SMS at 09175214691.

Thanks everyone!

hehehe.. yeah, going back sa previous pages there was someone who posted na computer should adopt the driving habits not the driver should adopt the computer habits... basta para ganung... hehehe...

sa DCT kasi it's like ikaw(driver) yung mag aadjust to avoid yung DCT issue on which I think baliktad sa nangyayari ngayon when it comes to technology...

I believed Technology should adopt to us for our convenience... hehehe.. well, that's just my opinion...

May lag ang response ng AT. I think kelangan dahan dahan ang press ng pedal para maganda ang hatak.. for me, underpowered ang ecosport sa akyatan. But kapag city driving, ok naman. Kaya urban car nga sya.

Kapag akyatan, iniisip ko na sana naka-honda ako. Pero kapag baha na sa amin, naisip ko na buti naka-ecosport ako. Hehehe... anyway, just had to live with it. MT nga pala sa akin dahil ayoko maexperience ung issue sa AT.

I tet drove both manual and matic ecosport at ford q ave. Shuddering and lag was very noticeable, specially sa corner na paahon sa may nicanor reyes st. Give it a sudden 1/4 throttle and it will give you 1-2 second delay before it responds.

But the manual is a nice car to drive around the city, still responsive like any other car and has a better suspension than my new vios.

Maybe it's not that we will adapt to the computer of the DCT, it's just that the usage for DCT is different from a conventional AT. It's like we're used to operating a Nokia phone then Iphone and other smart phones arrived. Both operation is different, but of the same logic.

Maybe DCT is still not that Smart. We hope it will still be covered by the warrantee.

Naexperience nyo na ba na foggy yung windshield after umulan? Pano kaya matatanggal yun? I keep on using the wipers pero bumabalik eh.
