Honest review after 3 years of driving.

I own a signature petrol version and have driven around 25k kilometer's. Here is my detailed review about the Ecosport (petrol) Pros: a) Style and looks : I will start with the one element which separates Ecosport from other cars. It's looks. You can't find any better car in this segment which looks more masculine. The styling and the material used in and out of the car is premium quality. b) Comfort : You ought to drive this car once to feel the comfort it provides. Both driver and passenger seats are cushioned enough to provide enough comfort and ease that will make the longest of drives bearable. c) Interiors : Though I have a signature edition the interiors are a bit different with blue stripes enhancing it, however the plastic and other parts used are of good quality. d) Built : This car is built strong and has some serious material used. One can feel the sturdiness of this car and strong built while driving it. e) Ford service : I have been using it for last 3 years and to be honest I have shelled out around 8-9k on its servicing. Apart from that nothing was ever needed. Would also appreciate ford for their prompt transparent and responsive service experience. f) Ground clearance and suspension : This is where ecosport rides big. The ground clearance is capable to overlook most of the potholes on the road and you can enjoy off roading and a smooth sail with this car given its strong suspension and ground clearance. g) Acceleration and pick up : Ultra smooth pick up and swift acceleration for petrol version and gives you a sense of satisfaction that you are riding a premium vehicle. Third gear acceleration is something I love in this car. h) Music system: Sheer responsiveness, connectivity and sound quality of this music system stands out and it has easily one of the best music systems you can get pre-installed in a car. The touch panel also looks stylish and adds the aesthetic appeal of the car. Cons: a) Average : It has an economy of 10-12 km/l in city which stretches up to 14-15 while driving on highways. However, with this car segment you can not expect anything more to deliver. b) Space : Space for passengers sitting on rear bench seat is limited. 3 people can accommodate but there will be a space crunch. That's it. I do not have any other disadvantages that I feel owning this car. Hope you find this review useful and helps you in deciding the car that will suit you.
