This is how it looks during night once you open the car with theatre like dimming. Makes me love it more. Proud of you Ford ![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")

Took my car near ecr yesterday and while returning we were 6 of us there in the car with 4 at the back!
Though obviously it was a very tight fit, It was easily manageable for the 70 odd kms ride back home.3 can make it easily.

Crossed 3000 kms today:)
3000 km update !
Significants:
Niggles : Have got a small paint peel off in the scuff area. Culprit must be me or the person who cleans the car thrice a week. (Sorry @1980rs500 forgot the pic )
Rattle : once heard a very irritating rattle noise and had my heart in my mouth hearing it. stopped the car, searched from where I got the noise from and the culprit was a 1 re coin![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")
after removing it, no rattles. Even today tested it but did not hear anything. Sound insulation is truly top notch and the paints too.
Performance : Asks for more and more every time I press the pedal. Even though it has almost crossed the run in, I do not go more than 2000 rpm. Sweet love you see![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")
Handling : Truly awesome for me! very light steering at single digits and hard at highs. that said, high speed cornering must be taken with care owing to the high CG.
1 st free service : Nothing except top ups and the AC performance has visibly improved after the first service. At fan speed of 1, it chills everyone so well better than how it was before!
Practicality : very flexible storage area gave us enough space for a weekend trip for 4, a rice bag of 25kgs and the compact dimensions help a loooooot during parkings and zipping through traffics.
Overall :
Very happy with the little monster and happier for booking her right on the first day the booking started.

Great going vicky90. Is the leather steering wheel cover official Ford accessory or you got it from after-market ?
Great to see uou carried 6 adults in Ecosport for 70kms. Did you notice any sagging of your monster's butt when loaded to that extent ?

I got them aftermarket :)
And no pitching that disrupted the setup in the cabin but very bad bumps sent in some disturbances and a big speed breaker did give a very mild scrap as the boot was also fully loaded. Thanks to the stiff suspension as a softer one would have scraped badly.

Hi vicky
Just wanted to know the place from where you got the leather steering cover and its cost. My wait seems to be never ending. Wrote a mail to Ford asking any the delivery date. Waiting for a proper response. Meantime looking for accessories. But the price hike is eating into my budget for accessories like the alloy wheels

I got them at Leo car accessories which is beside Express avenue. Trust me bro get the accessories at one shot because later you won't get much time or other commitments would creep up blocking this. I got them as a combo of seat covers and steering cover which came to around 9000.
Third button opens the boot ???!!!!??? Its just a dummy button for trend variant and I think you are referring to the tit variant. And ya, the pick up is getting better everyday and its really super cool to drive and overtake.

Thats a killer rahul! Waiting for your mods to be done and to know the performance after that. And ya, during my trip to banglore I pushed her once to 140 while chasing a duster and people inside were not able to find that I was pushing her to that speed ![[evil]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Evil.gif "Evil [evil]")
! 170kmph is super fast to say the least for Indian roads. Careful buddy.
