The All New Ford Eco-Sport

[shemcristobal]

Regarding lag:

...<snip>...

The proper technique is not to drive it like you do most automatics... where you can simply stab at the pedal and let the torque converter slip until the wheels and engine are in sync. You drive it like a manual, ease into the pedal while the clutch is "out", and wait for the transmission to engage the next gear before applying more power.

That said... it's a minor irritant rather than a deadly sin... and only crops up in certain kinds of traffic (slow, hot, erratic stop-and-go in heavy traffic)... but in regular stoplight to stoplight, it is okay.

I'd still rather have the manual transmission.

Thanks for the clarification. I totally agree. One should learn a totally different driving style to blend with EcoSport.

My EcoSport is A/T and I'm coming from Avanza 1.5G M/T. Hindi na pwede ung madalian/biglaan ngayon.

Hmm siguro i need a test drive to answer my questions. Sa reviews wala ka talaga mabasa concerning AT tranny, i mean yes meron pero yung issues na nababasa mo dito sa board wala dun sa review.

I sent James Deakin a mesage since he reviewed ecosport, and he said definitely no shuddering for the A/T variant

well, aside sa shuddering there's a debate on how durable the DCT is... some said give it more time(3/5years) you'll see the problem... kaya I consider the M/T to have peace of mind againts A/T transmission ng EcSpo...

Please let us know your take once you've done the test drive... Goodluck!

"Like the Fiesta, the EcoSport uses a 6-speed dual clutch automatic which is smooth for as long as you know how to use it."

As long as you know how to use it. How to use it properly ba?

Sa mga reviews walang nabanggit na shuddering like sa mga posted here.

hehehe.. yeah, going back sa previous pages there was someone who posted na computer should adopt the driving habits not the driver should adopt the computer habits... basta para ganung... hehehe...

sa DCT kasi it's like ikaw(driver) yung mag aadjust to avoid yung DCT issue on which I think baliktad sa nangyayari ngayon when it comes to technology...

I believed Technology should adopt to us for our convenience... hehehe.. well, that's just my opinion...

Maybe it's not that we will adapt to the computer of the DCT, it's just that the usage for DCT is different from a conventional AT. It's like we're used to operating a Nokia phone then Iphone and other smart phones arrived. Both operation is different, but of the same logic.

Naexperience nyo na ba na foggy yung windshield after umulan? Pano kaya matatanggal yun? I keep on using the wipers pero bumabalik eh.

Where's the fog? Outside or inside?

Outside fog, mainit sa labas malamig sa loob

Inside fog is the opposite.

Use the defogger, the one with an icon and the word "max"below.
