The All New Ford Eco-Sport

[dct]

^titanium na syempre

[justin27]

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

Titanium na boss! Sagot naman pala ng company maintenance and other possible issues like the powershift/TDC ba yun? Issues daw po yan ng fiesta powershift. Hope naayos na ng Ford.

Same tayo na company car plan, but I think yours is way better. Pati yung paudlot-udlot kung matutuloy or hindi. Hahaha..

Wanted the AT but I've read issues on the powershift. One wanted to sell his fiesta and buy a Hyundai Accent HB as replacement... Kaya I'm opting for the Trend MT instead.

Called a dealership, for now hindi pa daw sila na-mandate na kumuha ng reservation fee. Palista na muna. But most probably by March manghihingi na sila.

Dropped by Ford BGC kanina. They had the Trend AT on display.

halos lahat namention na about it sa thread nato but in case lang.
It had LED eyelids sa headlamps. Space is good for me (5'7+" 140ish lbs), setup the front for myself then tried the back, maluwag for me, kahit tatlo ako siguro. Para sakin ha, yours may vary.

Meron sya roof handles.

Rear seats are easy to fold.

Walang lock fuel lid pero may cap.

Found the left driver drawer as not being lined up right with the dash, parang service cabinet lang ata to not really meant to be used and baka sa display unit lang yun, sa iba might be somewhere else.

Mostly plastic interior like most cars nowadays.

Sturdy naman mga controls, knobs etc.

I believe it's the same as the Focus, the fuel lid is connected to the central locking system.

The display and test units were built weeks before regular volume production began.
These units are actually some of the first LHD EcoSports to come out of Ford's Thai factory.

Thanks for posting the interior pics of the EcoSport Trend model.
When I tested the EcoSport at Bonifacio High Street two weeks ago, they had a white EcoSport Trend MT at the parking area, but the doors were locked and the sun had already set so I didn't have a good look at the interior.

I saw a unit awhile ago and its nice for a below 1M car. Alanganin lang yung rear seat kasi looks tight for 3. Definitely smaller compared to like a crv. Havent test drive yet medyo busy kanina ang daming tumitingin. Sana walang power shift concern for the ecosport compared sa iba na may lag daw.

[harold13]

Btw ive driven before a lynx and ranger as company car and i had no problems with them and FS was ok. Mas umaaray pako sa honda ko before.hehe

Blue ecosport looks great! Meron ba sa trend ang blue color?

[jgs]

kung may nkapag test-drive n ng Ford Ecosport Trend Manual pki feedback naman po kung ano ang nagreregister na fuel consumption sa board. Also, what available colors meron po ang Trend Manual?

I'm not, I already answered in the other thread.

I see. It is just so amazing that you have so much knowledge about the Ecosports. Have you seen it personally? Did you try driving it? Can you share with us your experience? Thanks.

I test drove the EcoSport Titanium at Bonifacio High Street last Jan 31. (The photos I posted of the Blue EcoSport, I took those after the test drive)
If you're familiar with other recent Ford cars, you'll feel at home in the EcoSport.
Ride and NVH is average for a B-segment vehicle, though during hard acceleration, engine noise was more noticable than in the Focus Mk2 (my daily driver), then again that's a C-segment car.
It's definitely not a hot hatch and has no aspirations to be one (its heavier than the Fiesta), but as an urban cruiser, it gets the job done.

Quality seemed ok, but I was informed that the test and display units were built before regular production began in Thailand (that maks these units one of the first LHD EcoSports to roll out of the Thai factory).

I think it's a good alternative for those looking for a B-segment vehicle with more ground clearance than a regular car but wants something more refined than an AUV (Avanza) and more rugged/stylish than an MPV (Spin).
If I would rate the EcoSport Titanium Powershift based on that short drive, i'd give it a rating of 8/10.
*I would have given it a higher score if the Titanium model had the new 1.0 EcoBoost engine.

Since I researched the car before it was launched here, I more or less had an idea of what to expect. So test driving it was more like just confirming what i've read and it was better than I expected.

PS: Given the chance to buy one, i'd go for the Trend MT and just add backup parking sensors, I think it's the best in terms of value and I also prefer doing my own shifting.

I am not really a fan of the TOTL models even in my previous purchases.

If I were to buy this (for wifey's drive), I'd go with Trend AT.

For 100K,- the differences between the Trend AT and Titanium AT (at least according to the Ford rep who accompanied me during the test drive a week ago), are push button start, moonroof, design of the alloy wheels and leather seat... Not much,- so the rest of the P difference goes to the "Titanium branding"

A bit OT: Hassle ba ang moonroof / sunroof on city driving during summers? Sorry never owned a car with them yet. :D

The hassle would be the maintenance issues after a few years. There's a cover to protect you from the sun and you can have it tinted also.

Plus reverse sensors and auto climate control.

thanks sir. I really love the looks of the Ecosports. My apprehensions are the FC and hirap talaga umakyat. the engine vibration was so strong that even if you are inside the car, you can still feel it. The dashboard was really vibrating.

I see, its better to test drive one again in the future. The real production units should hit the showrooms this April, i'm guessing this period is being used to sort out bugs and address quality issues etc of the early build units.
PS: The unit I tested was the Lunar Sky one, thats the greyish color.

[dreamworks3]

they have to address the strong vibration of the engine. for a brand new car, this condition is unacceptable.

Just curious....are the Ford dealers asking for DI again? If not, great! but if yes how much percentage wise? :drive1:

[24fretsrider]

Mga sir newbie lang po ako. Im having a difficult decision po kasi, im torn between the two; toyota vios G AT or ecosport Trend AT. I want an automatic transmission po kasi because of the traffic, the only downside i can see from the ecosport AT is the gear hunting. Is the issue about ford poweshift(gear hunting)resolve na po ba?
