2021 Ford EcoSport Titanium | Learn everything about the EcoSport

[@tomday2780]

While this is not the worst review, I get so tired of people saying it doesn't have enough power. I'll grant you it won't win many drag races, but how often do you need drag race performance from a daily driver. The answer is pretty much never. This is a very inexpensive car that too many want to compare with something that costs more. Test drive it, then decide if you want to pay more for things you don't need...

[@bobjohnson270]

why no spare tire though? Unless you live in a city a spare tire is a must. That tire filler stuff if you are hundreds of miles from a tire shop........ spend thousands on a car why cheap out

[@bongodave13]

@@bobjohnson270 In other countries, the spare was standard. It was mounted on the rear gate. That's why it opens that way.

That’s great Scott! First time in a Ford?

[@scottgionet7265]

@@CarsWithSteve ,no I have owned nothing but Fords since 1987 and never bought anything else. My first car was a Chevrolet Chevette and I couldn't believe General Motors could make such an awful car. I have never been let down by a Ford, ever.

[@CarsWithSteve]

@@scottgionet7265 Brand loyalty is definitely real! What are some of the memorable Fords you've owned over the years?

[@bongodave13]

@@CarsWithSteve I can't speak for Scott, but I have a 2017 Fiesta ST, and a 2018 EcoSport SES. I once had an 80's era Econoline window van. I'm not brand loyal, but Ford has made cars that work for me, at good prices. Mine never failed me. The van needed some serious repairs, but I got it working right without a lot of money, and a few 12-packs to some mechanic friends. The 80s were awesome. 😄

53" , that's the measurement I been searching whole night, thank you SO MUCH! too small for ski

[@CarsWithSteve]

Haha you're welcome!

[@morganchadwick736]

Auto Start/Stop is aggravating for VERY limited fuel savings, but more wear and tear on the engine, starter, and battery. Trust me, disable it. Thank me later.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Agree with you there! There's a workaround to disable it permanently but could lead to warranty issues. If only there was a way to permanently lock it out!

[@thomasbasler8112]

I like the EcoSport very much, I have the 2020 SES model 2 litre (non turbo, which I prefer). I did negotiate a good deal to purchase car for a very reasonable price. The only thing I don't like, is that it does not come with any type of spare tire, and you cannot order one from Ford, because they do not make spare tires for this vehicle. I will probably buy a spare from companies such as easy spare etc. Otherwise, comfortable car, I am 6'0, 212 lbs gas mileage is 29 on just open road driving, mixture is 25-27.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Good to hear you’re enjoying the EcoSport! The spare used to be mounted on the rear swing gate similar to Jeep style. Are you looking for a spare that’ll stay in the trunk or be mounted outside

[@Th33Vultur3]

I'm getting 27 in the city. I rarely drive on the highway. I have the EcoSport SE 2020. Its a shame its going to be discontinued in America. It looks like a mixture of a baby Escape or a Baby Ford Edge. I have the 1.0 engine. It does not have the Blind Spot Information System, but blindspot mirrors and no factory navigation, so I my phone through either Android Auto and Apple Car Play.

[@noemiquinones3637]

The rear seats do go down flat. Just pull the seat cushions up (with the pull strap tucked in the middle) and then lay the seats flat.

[@CarsWithSteve]

You got it - all depends on whether you pull that seat cushion up or not

[@annaandreacarter2988]

Thank you for all the information shared about ecosport ❤

[@CarsWithSteve]

You're welcome!

[@antoniogarcez9820]

Not just in Europe, in South Africa as well very popular.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Good to know! I'll make sure to mention that in future videos

[@TheDarkPog]

Very good video Steve! I have been looking at this car today and it seems pretty decent. A nice mix of modern features that doesn't break the bank.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks so much! It doesn’t get the gas mileage I would have liked to have seen but when you look at the cost of the car (especially if you can negotiate well with the dealer) it makes it worth it

[@TheDarkPog]

@@CarsWithSteve Oh really? What MPG did you end up getting? I'm actually looking at the Titanium 4WD variant as well

[@CarsWithSteve]

@@TheDarkPog About 8% higher than the sticker - approx 8.6L/100km

[@michaelmaddy278]

Ford screwed up by not putting the turbo on the 2.0, why did they put it on the smaller engine that didn’t ad much horse power to it? My 2014 Escape with the 2.0 turbo boost was great with good exceleration. My 2018 2.0 I had it up to over 90 on an interstate passing some of those Sunday drivers that go like 55 in a 70 mph speed limit( sure screws up your using speed control when you have it set at the true speed limit an come behind one of Sunday drivers). I did not know about you can fold the back seat cushion down. All in all I like my ECO SPORT.

[@CarsWithSteve]

The EcoSport probably wouldn't be able to handle the power of the 2.0L turbo without some serious component upgrades. I could have maybe seen the 1.5L EcoBoost in there if Ford didn't choose to discontinue this car... Glad you're enjoying yours though!

[@daniellarson3068]

Where they really screwed up is by eliminating the spare tire. Foreign and older models have the spare on the swing tailgate. It both looks cool (Jeeplike) to have the spare back there and you aren't stuck if you have a flat. By the way, I'm one of those guys that do the 55 thing rather than 70 mph. I get the finger and I smile and wave back. It really irks them when they flip the bird and I smile. Too many people in a hurry to go nowhere fast. I do, however, stay in the slow lane for courtesy.

How do I get my 4wd titanium ecosport into 4 wheel drive. ? Mx

[@CarsWithSteve]

It's an intelligent 4wd so the vehicle will automatically push power to the necessary wheels

It's in this video. Check out around the 3:30 mark There's a handle to the bottom right side of the swing gate

Hello STeve so how much is this one

[@CarsWithSteve]

If you check in the description I have a link off to the build, full specs and pricing - but here are some basics: MSRP of vehicle driven: $33,749 Canada $29,590 USA

[@MelissaMasseyMoulton]

My transmission already has had to be replaced at 35000 miles . And I have had to buy new tires and new brake lights.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Wow that sucks.. the transmission was replaced under warranty at least though right? I've heard from a few people that the OEM brakes in their EcoSports went quickly but the tires and brake lights at low mileage is odd

[@mzr4615]

Whats wrong with the transmission?
