the oncars.in guy is completely biased he is a VW fan
we cant expect ample space with in a 4 feet car
oncars.in is not biasted may be he was paid by someone else, because he said the stearing is not like fiesta or figo or other ford cars dont he aware the steering unit is directly lifted from fiesta (new) he went further and said some one from ford went to hyundai and handpicked the steering

MSN, You might want to correct it to 4 meters!
Whatever the 'experts' say online, only you can decide about a car. Some might like the 'drive' and 'handling', I am pretty sure 90% public looks at 'kithna deti hai'. Nothing replaces your own TD and analysis. IMO the Ecoboost might deliver lower milegage figures for the 'enthusiast' driver!![[evil]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Evil.gif "Evil [evil]")
Still my fingers crossed till I see and TD Ecosport. According to ford everything is 'as planned' and almost all targets have met wrt localization etc. Only one thing they are not yet on target is about decision on pricing!

Now I read somewhere that the Optional pack is not available for the 1.5ltr AT titanium version. I don't understand what is Ford thinking? The AT with all the goodies of the Optional pack will make a Feature wise COMPLETE variant and many of us here would be happy to buy one. Hope Ford does offer the optional pack for AT variant too.
Yes we cant expect huge space from a 4m car but Ford has done an exceptional job in utilising the space inside for the best possible legroom,shoulder room is tight so its a 4 people go happy car(remember i use word car) its a compact package with SUV style and abilities, sure lot of people wont like it because its 2 sporty to look at,2 rugged at the rear,interior quality wont even match a hyundai car, but if we look at the positives it has more positives than negatives, thats why i think ecosport is a sure shot winner.
1)It will drive better than any other car under 10l Rs in India(maybe except new fiesta,figo,Classic)
2)Ride quality will be superb almost in the VW polo league
3)Cabin insulation is excellent again VW polo league
4)The exhaustive feature list
5)The sportiest petrol engine also most powerful(guys 123 bhp under 10l Rs even the GT polo TSI has 104 bhp so keep an eye on than gem of engine)
6)Rear reclining seats, u wont get that feature in any car under 20l Rs in India
7)The best AC and in car audio system u can get, i have driven Skoda Laura 1.8 TSI sadly its sound system isnt as good as Fords.
8)Regarding the Diesel engine i seriously hope they remap the ECU of Ecosports 1.5 TDCi to make the specs 89 bhp@ 3750 rpm 200NM @1750 rpm unlike Fiestas 2000-2750

This car is a perfect threat to all premium hatchbacks and some small sedans in the 7-10lRs market
Yes but i think the price will be too high say it might cost 12l Rs onroad and for 12l Rs a VW Vento or Skoda Rapid Auto is the best car nothing can beat it,also the 1.5 l petrol auto and manual will be a pure failure because with just 1150 kg kerb weight the New fiesta automatic is very sluggish, then how come it perform well in a car that dosent aerodynamically assist it as well as has a kerb weight of around 1256-1290 kg, if some1 has hopes 4 ecosport 1.5l manual or Auto please drop it, its a sure flop, only because its heavily under powered just like Figo petrol

Does anyone has any idea about how long do the Discoveries winner get to drive ES?
Here is some off the record information from a trusted Ford employee who gladly accepted the fact that Ecosports interior feel cheap and the explanation he gave was more interesting.
Fords global B platform uses interior and even some exterior plastics from recycled plastics only, Ford is one of the biggest green car manufacturers in the world, they are the leaders in Hybrid technology and are the biggest mass producers of C and D segment Hybrid cars, beating even Toyota which was the global Hybrid leader, so they didnt want to produce plastics from pellets unlike most other brands so they recycle plastics in their factory to make 2nd quality plastics with certian textures resembling some shapes and designs, so the global B platform which accounts for around 40% global Ford sales now use only recycled plastics even in some other cars like Fiesta,fiesta hatch,Ford b max,tourneo,Ranger etc they use recycled plastics which looks somewhat dull but increased the green reputation of brand and cost effectiveness, so in a way they are doing a good thing saving the environment but for us its difficult to swallow it seems.

Hi Anish,i am also planing to book ES?what is the booking amount in kolkata?any deduction if cancel the booking due to over budget?
Last night had a dream on ecosports pricing ![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")
. Somewhere heard that the base version is priced at 3.5L ![[lol]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Laugh.gif "Laugh [lol]")
. I was desperate to update the same on my facebook page, but could not update that due to network error.
Am I thinking too much about Ecosport? May be yes. But I have no plan to buy one, its just the curiosity and being already a ford owner. However if Ford comes up with some exchange offer, then definitely I'll give a thought.![[glasses]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Glasses.gif "Glasses [glasses]")
