Ford EcoSport. Anyone got one ?

[Paranoidmarvin]

I have very limited options when buying a car due to medical problems in terms of where the gear stick is and how hard the steering is due to my hands and many others.
I have test driven one and it fits me perfectly. But I keep seeing people say they are awful. If u have one can u tell me about it. What you like what you don’t like. It would be the newish version.

Hopeful bump.

I have one and I love it. I have an automatic though. Not sure why people would say it is terrible

@Peanutbutteryogurt I’m debating if I should get the automatic. Does it have an effect on the power of the car. My husband said it would make it not as fast

I've got one! Absolutely wonderful!

The one I’m looking at is the 1.1 with the turbo booster. My dh says that a automatic would make the acceleration slower

BIL has one. I know it's automatic, he says it's a nice drive and I think he has the 1.1. The only other thing I know about it is that he says the fuel consumption is awful - apparently he only got 35 mpg driving from the Midlands down to Devon, largely on motorways. DH suspects that some, if not all of the responsibility for that lies with the driver and not the car but thought I'd mention it!

Thanks. I have been looking for more reviews. It’s frustrating. As people are moaning about the small boot size and the fact the boot opens like a door ( which is a good feature for me as I’m very small ). But I don’t find they helpful as the boot size was like that when you test drove it. Don’t bitch about it being small afterwards.
