The All New Ford Eco-Sport

[Vodka]

Hello po! New here at the forums. We just got our EcoSport last week, and we were offered option to avail extended warranty and one-time payment for 2, 3, and 5 years worth of servicing. Do you think it is worth it to get both? Was considering getting the servicing option because of potential savings in PMS costs. Just the estimate for the 2-year PMS is more than 20k! TIA!

did you get the 6-DCT version aka Power$hit (powershift)? if so then if you experience problems w/ the transmission, which is VERY LIKELY, then you automatically get a warranty extension. at least that's what i've heard. so why pay for something that'll be free anyway?

as for pre-paid PMS it all depends on the cost. why don't you ask them for a breakdown then post it here so we can analyze.

from ford.com.ph but it's a "hidden" file

bakit anlayo sa actual na sinisingil sa casa WTF this price guide is just BS

this is just to compare Ford's SCAM w/ honda. honda also advertises a PMS price guide but when you actually go to the casa it's actually lower in the provinces. thumbs up to honda

as for ford, shame on you

PS i don't actually mind paying for casa maintenance. my old City has been casa maintained for 12 years. yeah it costs more but it's convenient for me. so i just hate it when Ford advertises something that isn't true

Any feedback naman po sa Ecosport Trend MT? I'm considering buying kasi. My experience with Ford is with a friend's Fiesta AT transmission conking out and the cost to repair was somewhere 100k

Will the MT suffer the same including high maintenance costs as I have heard?

Hi! Trend MT owner here, kung pangporma porma ok ang ecosport and for city driving pero kung mahilig ka magovertake sa highway kaya naman kaso talagang pipigain mo siya. FC niya is tulad lang din ng mga 1.5L ng ibang brands. Habol ko lang talaga is ang ground clearance and price niya masmura compare sa ibang subcompact CUV. So far no buyer's remorse. BRV, Juke and Ecosport pinagpilian ko dati and ended up on the latter kasi gusto ni wifey ang porma and gusto niya rin ng manual at masmura.

The eco is not intended for racing nor for off-roading. The selling point is the wadding capacity and the compact cuv design. It is to bring you from point A to point B plus peace of mind during the rainy days. Heck, you dont even drive it like a sedan where you just floor the accelerator if you want to pass - it wont. Just drive it leisurely with less stress. Now, the DCT issue is another story though bur I havent encountered so far after 3 months of using a titanium version.

Takbong Papogi lang ika nga,hehehe. Atleast the ground clearance is useful in the urban jungle lalo na dito sa province.

here's the roof molding of the AMBIENTE

when you remove the molding, are there THREADED HOLES for mounting a roof rack or roof rails?

No idea sir pero sa tingin ko meron yan kasi ang higher variants may roof rail as standard.

Amp. Takot ako i-lusong ang eco. Na phobia na yata ako sa mayapis creek incident.

True, and driving through bad roads.

It's the AWD version (not sold here) which can do mild off-roading.

The EcoSport was designed to wade through 550mm of water but it's best to avoid driving through floods specially if the street/area is unfamiliar.

Yung mga red hindi pwede alisin?
Baket walang aircon filter sa actual pms cost? Kulang ata
Baket sobra mahal ng oil sa bgc? Pang diesel na presyo yung oil

Ecosport Ambiente, the neglected lower-cost variant 60k cheaper than the Trent M/T but what exactly do you lose?

1) alloy wheels
2) roof rails
3) foglamps
4) painted door handles
5) painted interior door opener
6) overhead sunglass holder
7) silver trim on steering wheel
8) painted lines on front grille
9) driver seat height adjustment (don't need it i'm 6')
10) ford sync (kinda low-tech)
11) some piano black surfaces
12) tweeters

aside from alloy wheels and foglamps they're mostly cosmetic or useless for me at least. i'm definitely glad to lose the glossy piano black surfaces coz i know they'll get all scratched up after a few years

[dr. d]

the height- adjustable seat is useful.
the rest, i can live without.
also, probably less ageing problems down the road.

[Vodka]

yep less stuff to break




13) ambiente loses the numeric fuel economy. ambiente only has a bar (no number) which shows instantaneous fuel economy, so no average fuel economy either

14) ambiente doesn't have outside temperature display. i don't need this, and it's one less sensor to malfunction



another benefit of Ambiente is that the spare tire is exactly the same as the other 4 which means you could include it in the tire rotation

[Vodka]

the bare steel wheel at the back kinda looks ugly

i wonder where i could get a few spare wheel covers from the ambiente. maybe from those trade-in tire places?
