The All New Ford Eco-Sport

[jut703]

Then get the manual to avoid dct issue. Ive noticed lang in most ford dealers na madaming stock na titanium regular or black edition as well as trend a/t. Yung trend m/t regular or black edition ang mabilis maubos. Maybe it has something to do with the dct issue.

It's because people buy more automatics. Between the certainty of having a fatigued left leg in traffic and the low chance of encountering DCT issues, people still go for the latter.

In fact, I haven't seen any widespread problems with the Ecosport DCT except that people don't know how to use a DCT. It's not the car's problem, it's the drivers who can't adapt.

Oh no... I was really keen into buying an ecosport by December. I was quite excited mainly because of the decent ground clearance and water wading capability. But reading some of the horror stories about it, parang ayoko na. I'm really after the high ground clearance dahil sa lubak lubak dito and madaling magbaha sa labasan ng subdivision. Ayoko naman mag suv dahil quite frankly I'm not that good sa parking. I currently drive a city and it still takes me almost a minute to reverse Park. Imagine if naka fortuner pa ako or montero sport. Baka maging 2 minutes pa hahaha
e.

And those SUVs are at least 30% more expensive....

Get the Honda BR-V ... 205 mm ground clearance ... it's a small SUV ...

Good thing I saw this thread.....was even thinking of buying an ecosport because of the very tempting below 1M price tag

[minicarph]

kahit naman future generation nyan car na yan di na maging premium model kasi nga sa pangalan pa lang eco na, parang economy class

The EcoSport variant without the spare tire at the back was meant for the European market (which is made in India instead of Thailand), this version has a tire repair kit. The version with the external spare tire is still offered in Europe as an option.

The upcoming 2018my(?) EcoSport facelift will still have a version with a spare tire as seen in these spy photos.

It will sell well in the Philippines.

Cant forecast yet its sales in the US but its a waiting game undoubtedly.

With low fuel costs and prospects of better jobs.. bigger vehicles makes sense.

now that this will be offered in America, it means it passes the strict American car guidelines

Alan Mulally (previous Ford President & CEO) said that new models like the current gen EcoSport could be easily modified for the US market when they decide to offer it there. I guess it makes sense that they implemented the upgrades on the facelifted model.

no more spare tire, may skid plates na and the rear plate holder is where it should belong

There's a chance the non-US and non-EU models may have a spare tire as standard.

I guess Ford will need to do a marketing study to find out if the ASEAN market is ready for a "tire mobility kit" in place of an actual spare tire.

OT: AG4/AM, are you connected with Ford? I noticed that you only pop up when the news is about Ford. Just curious what your affiliation with the brand is. [emoji4]

Not connected with Ford, I drive one and I'm a forum member in FCP.

I see. I used to own a Ford but I still posted about other car brands, so I just found your affinity to the brand intriguing.

Anyway, carry on and thanks for the frequent brand updates. [emoji1303]

Here's the sporty US-spec "SES" trim. Less chrome, more gloss black/dark gray trim.

Meron po bang fog lights ang ambiente model? Aside po sa 15 size na rims and wheel at roof rack attachment... ano po ba difference ng ambiente sa trend model?
