The All New Ford Eco-Sport

**CVT** · February 13th, 2014 05:29 PM

IIRC, drive/Ride height is about the same as the previous gen CRV, right? (which is approx the road-view of a 5-ft person)...

Can anyone confirm this, please?

TIA

Not too sure, but based on the specs I found online, ground clearance and overall height are pretty close to each other. The EcoSport's ground clearance is just over half an inch greater than the previous CR-V's (200mm or 7.9in vs 7.3in).
The EcoSport is a bit taller at 1705mm (67.3in) vs the previous CR-V's 1680mm (66.1in) overall height.
Then again the CR-V only has low-rise roof rails, while the EcoSport has taller roofrails that probably adds almost 2 inches to its height (based on my estimate when I checked out the EcoSport at Bonifacio High Street 2 weeks ago).

Hi guys!

Had anyone drive-tested the Ecosport Trend Manual? Have you notice the actual fuel consumption and does it have Mars Red color?

kanina nag test drive ako ng Ecosport Titatium sa SM Marikina. Well ok naman yung handling pero yung sa paitaas na ng parking, parang hirap so sabi ng agent idiin ko raw gas, so when i did it, galit na galit na makina pero parang hirap pa rin. Ang nakaka taka lang, isa lang daw pede sumama sa pag test drive. hmm..di kaya ayaw nila ng puno kasi baka lalo mahirapan makina. with this observation, baka malakas eto sa gas considering na engine ng fiesta eto na nilagay sa mas malaking kaha.

i'm more inclined to think na safety ang reason (against carjacking). pero kung hirap na dun, e di lalo na sa antipolo or even cinco hernamos

^agree. yung last time na test drive sa moa ng ford vehicles di rin pwede may kasama e. pero sa ibang brands pwede.

Nung nag test drive kami sa BGC tatlo kami sa oto (myself + wife + agent). May isa pa ngang grupo lima sila total sa loob.

kasama ko sir is my wife and my 14 year old girl. so iniwan ko sa booth nila anak ko since wife ko sana gagamit if ever bumili kami. so yung agent nasa likod, wife ko sa harapan at ako. the agent even told me na gamitin ko raw yung "s" mode, kasi manual mode daw yun, +/- lang sa gear. para daw mas malakas. pero sa tingin ko ayaw nila punuin yung kotse talaga sir e.
