    Sooo...
    Ford released a new car to compete with the Buick Enclave, the smallest SUV I've ever seen.
    Reply what you guys think about it, I personally like it because...Just...Um...it's a Ford. Who doesn't like Fords?

    I like it too. It looks like it'd be a reliable vehicle to own.

    For an B-Max sequel (2nd gen facelift), it's fine at best.

    It's better than the 2019 Edge.

    It was brought here to N/A, to fill the gap between the focus and fusion.

    Since ford will stop selling those cars in N/A.

    Ford will start to bank on SUV/Crossovers and trucks.

    Maybe, but if I recall it has the ecoturd I-3 which has the exhaust manifold as a Siamese twin with the whole head. Expensive to repair, also a pain.

    THE ECOBOOST IS NOT AN ECOTURD

    Yeah, all of them are. Everyone I know who's had one has had a problem ranging from the turbo comminting sudoku to water in the oil to head gasket failure to throttle body errors...

    as the worlds greatest president (/s) would say, all ecoboosts are "Very bad"

    Its only new for north america, is it.
    Which is an intersting car for that market, because it is not a pickup with a grill as big as a steak in Texas, nor has it a v8 with 3 million hp. :) (that was sarcastic, its not the first one in its class)
    But yeah, i really like the Ecosport.

    I have a 2013 Ford Escape 2.0L Ecoboost with 240hp and it's a great, plucky engine, great for passing people on the freeway. We have owned it for 5 years and over 120,000 km and not a single problem with the engine. Although at 100,000 km the Battery did die randomly but that was the battery not the engine

    I mean its a modern F.O.R.D (Found on Road Dead) so it's going to be bad for a area that snows. So until Found on Road Dead starts galvanizing there frames it's trash just like 90% of the North American vehicle market.

    Need I remind you that "Found On road Dead" was for the Fords of old, the Ecosport is a European design, so is the Escape, Fusion, Focus and Fiesta (Until they stopped NA production). They were all designed in Germany using German engines. I have a 2013 Ford Escape and have never had a single problem and it's still running fantastic as it approaches 7 years old
