  • Hello guys - ano masasabi nyo sa Ford Ecosport?

    Anong year/model ang maganda?

    I am planning to buy, pero medyo duda ako kasi parang ang mura ng resell value.

    Thanks!
  • ^ matipid nga yan sa gas. Nadiscover ko nga nitong mga nakaraang araw. Hehe.
  • ^
    ako rin sir, yung Mazda 3 ko bigalang tumipid mag-i-isang buwan na halos wala pang nabawas sa gas. hehe

  • Hello guys - ano masasabi nyo sa Ford Ecosport?

    In seriousness... if you still want Ecosport

    You should get...
    - 2014 to 2016 (check mo sa likod ng wheel cover should be shaped like large S)
    - Manual transmission... why? AT version uses Powershift or Ford's version of DCT-ATF has some weird issues (see the dreadded powershift issue of 2010 since Ford Focus and Fiesta)

    Ok... 2017 version uses 17 inch rims as standard and the wheel cover on the rear almost shaped like A

    Not that I'm going to scare you on the reason that if you heard about the "engine fire" issue on the UK... which brits are experiencing on the Kuga/Escape (especially 2017-18), nonetheless we have one in Philippine on the 2017 ecosport which was nearly the same thing on the Kuga/Escape

    Lastly if you still opt for AT version of 2014-16, you should google and read the "Powershift Issue" on the internet about the certain behavior

  • Bisita ka sa ecosport group sa fb para magka idea ka kung magkano maintenance. May kaka post nga lang nasira auxilliary fan ng ecosport. Quote ng casa is 23k parts + 10k labor. For comparison, 2,500 lang aux fan motor ng toyota vios (available at most shops, maski sa mercury drug) + 500 labor ng mekaniko sa kanto.

    don't buy the old model year of Ecosprt, medyo marami raming issue yan. but the newer model year (ung iba na ang front part, I think 2019 ata un), yan walang issues yan. ung mga previous issues from old model, fixed na.
  • Ecosport
    -my dad had one. Before we sold it, it had this weird screeching issue sa brakes na hindi (daw kaya) maayos ng casa.
    -my friend still has hers. Pero bago namin nilabas sa casa when she bought it new, andami agad issue. Had to wait a week for them to fix everything first bago ma-release

    That being said, it's entirely possible na OK ang latest version. Be sure to drive (test) thoroughly.

  • skip mo na lang ang ecosport, lalo na yung naka DCT, sobrang dami complaints na lumalabas dyan sa ford na yan e... get a honda or toyota for drop dead reliability.
  • ano ma-recommend niyo na sedan sa 150k budget?
  • Ford Ecosport fanboys na wala pang sira yung tranny nila, sila ung madalas nag sasabi na mali lang daw yung tapak ng DCT tranny drivers kaya nasisira.

    yung friend ko na nasiraan ng DCT tranny, 15years na nag dridrive ng MT and AT, tapos nasiraan agad yung DCT nung ecosport.
  • ^sa budget mo boss lovelife for the win.
    Ikukwento ko na naman yun datin may ari ng lovelife ko pagkabenta sakin bumili ng ecosport, nagsisi layo daw ng diperensya sa gas consumption. Wala na ko balita sa maintenance nya sa ecosport nya.
  • ^sa budget mo boss lovelife for the win.


    salamat boss, yan nga tinitignan din and honda civic/city
  • You can never go wrong wih your choices inspect lang mabuti
  • Ecosport topic:
    Alam niyo bakit mataas ang sales ng ecosport nila from 2014 to 2016?

    - si ford lang naglabas ng segment nito during that time... toyota? they'll slap you with Avanza until 2017, nissan? They did released the Juke on 2016 and I saw dat on Bali, Indonesia since 2011, mitsubishi? They did not see ford as a threat only Toyota's Rush that they released their own

    If Toyota probably released it as early on 2015 masasapawan ang sales ng ecosport

    Currently owning a 2014 Ecosport Titanium AT... the major problem we got was the rear door latch motor got broken.... and it costs about 14k for the part alone... otherwise our Ecosport is for Coding Vehicle and reaching only 13XXXkm for 5 plus years

    Ford Ecosport fanboys na wala pang sira yung tranny nila, sila ung madalas nag sasabi na mali lang daw yung tapak ng DCT tranny drivers kaya nasisira.

    yung friend ko na nasiraan ng DCT tranny, 15years na nag dridrive ng MT and AT, tapos nasiraan agad yung DCT nung ecosport.

    Feeling ko flawed design ng DCT ni Ford, kahit ang aussies or brits are angry about it

    Medyo hinde pa tayo ready for DCT sa lahat... mahal pa naman yung ATF nun, if I ever secure one for me mukhang AMSOIL DCT-ATF (pupunta ka pa sa binondo for this) kukunin ko since local Ford might order on ebay at maghihintay ka pa ng ilang buwan

  • Sirain talaga yang rear door latch pero may DIY na paraan para makatipid kesa pagawa sa casa.

    Pwede daw gawin ng manual latch release pero pull type...

    One member ng Ecoport group did tell me meron magpagawa sa Evanglista Makati

    ganyan naman parati e.... check niyo sa google yung class action lawsuit sa ford US regarding the Ford DCT.
  • ^ sino sa inyo sanay bumili ng mga repo na kotse from bank? ano yun usual papers na dapat macheck mo para masabi clean papers, hindi ka mag ka issue in the long run? sorry noob
  • Sa akin ang unang issue mo sa bank repo ay yun condition ng actual unit mismo hindi papers kasi as is mo kukunin yun.
  • ^ considering low mile age and 2-4 years behind model lang yun hanap. i think acceptable yun.
  • Ikaw bahala pero ako I wont look at mileage as a basis ng condition para sa mga repo cars LOL. Alam mo naman siguro ang usual ginagawa ng tao lalo na babatakin na ng bangko? If not need mo pa magresearch.
    Ang masaya nyan limited lang ang inspection na pwede mo gawin sa warehouse so kapag natsambahan mo ang swerteng unit wala ng solian.
  • Yung mga makikita mong reposessed na cars sa bank ay yung mga napagpilian na. Either pangit condition or overpriced. May insider mga buy and sell sa mga ganyan so sila nakakakuha ng mga good buys.

    And i agree, yung documents are the last thing you should worry about when buying from banks. Kasi pwede mo sila balikan pag may problema sa papel pero di mo sila pwede balikan sa maski anong sira ng sasakyan madiscover mo later on maski factory defect dahil as is lahat yan.

  • @fliptop

    good luck sir, lahat ng kakilala ko na bumili sa bank repo ay nagsisi.

    baka naman swertihin ka po, feedback ka po dito ng experience mo.
  • ^ thanks sa mga input, need ko pa magresearch.
  • if your really set on going repo
    do a complete fluid flush and full maintenance most likely the previous owners are not able to do this for sometime
  • Yan ay kung hindi butas butas ang tubes/tanks/ other vital components. i know 1 horror story na mismong gas tank butas. Nabili ng bagong may ari ng ganun. Sa casa nila pinagawa. It turned out Hindi lang yun ang poblema. Imagine how happy that casa was.

    Few years ago, tumitingin din ako ng mga repo card from PSBank. Pinuntahan ko mismo dun sa warehouse nila. Sabi sa akin nung meron ako nagustuhan na unit, bawal daw i-test drive. Start engine lang daw ang allowed, bawal patakbuhin. Sabi ko kahit iikot ko lang dun sa loob ng warehouse area nila, ayaw talaga. Umalis na lang ako.

    Much better kung sa tao ka na lang kukuha. Preferably owner-seller para masabi sayo history ng sasakyan.
