I'd advise caution on this, the ecosport is a hateful car with quite poor reviews. It's built in India and aimed squarely at people who want an SUV type car but can't stretch to a Kuga.

should eco and sport be in the same sentence?

There are some silly exaggerations going on in this thread. It might be at the bottom of it's class, but the ecosport is a long way from being a bad car in any sort of absolute sense.


Juke owners report 49.6mpg out of the diesel manual, ecosport owners 48.2mpg. 'Marginally less' would probably be the phrase I'd have chosen.
http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/ford/ecosport-2014
http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/nissan/juke-2010

Granted it's not the class best for economy - they're around 60mpg - but it's certainly got plenty of company around 50mpg.


When did they making towing illegal? Most setups with a trailer of any significant weight (caravan etc.) are 30-50bhp/ton. Unless Ford really screwed up the gearing on the ecosport 72bhp/ton is loads of power. It might not be as whizzy as you like but it's certainly not going to max out at 40mph, be dangerous or any other the other absurdities being thrown around.


Poor NCAP rating? Um, what?
http://www.euroncap.com/en/ratings-rewards/latest-safety-ratings/#?selectedProtocols=5931

Both the Adult Occupant and Child-in-Carseat tests look perfectly reasonable to me. Under the same test regime (2013) it proved better than the Mercedes CLA, better than the Honda CR-V and better than the Mazda 6.

The pedestrian rating isn't great, down there with the BMW i3 and Renault Captur but that's a common problem on small, blunt and high vehicles. Even the B-max only manages mid-sixties. Better to stick to a hatchback.

Also dont forget to add in the 2 dealrr services so probably about £500 on top of the £3500. Still a good deal but a horrible car. Had one as a hire car and would really advice a test drive because i hated my 3 days with this one.

only £118 a month on 8k

wow! must be the best lease deal we have ever seen on this website! Well done. Anyone in the market for a new car would be mad not to go for this deal

It's better if you're doing around 8000 or over per year. Personally I do between 6000 and 7000 so the cheaper option is much better. It's only good value if you're going to use the extra.

What model is this

Depreciation charge,is that an extra payment on top of £125?

Good price, but the reviews aren't favourable. I guess that's why they're shifting stock.

http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/ford/ford-ecosport-15-tdci-titanium-2014-review/

Not very pretty is it?

Personally i'd say if you need an affordable semi spacious car, thats not over powered and you dont need to race around. This is ideal.

Great price, and good spec (especially for a deisel).
Bright yellow though?

Very good price for the diesel model...the petrol would cost roughly this to me and I'm a Ford employee

Hmmmm...not sure about this deal. Price seems reasonable but this is a very basic SUV. Poor reviews online. 90bhp for a 2 tonne vehicle = 0-62mph in 14 seconds. Add a driver and 3 passengers then I'm sure you'd be reaching 20 seconds.

List price is £15.8k but can be bought for £13k. Parkers values the car £8.8k after 2 years and 20k miles. So about £4k in depreciation with this lease costing £3.5k. Not a big difference - certainly smaller than I was expecting.

should eco and sport be in the same sentence?

Not pretty... but practical, so will suit some at the right price.

Formula E maybe. BTW no 'a' in sentence.

Good deal if you can live with the looks, but this is one ugly motor, especially the silly spare wheel on the back.

I almost purchased a Vauxhall Insignia a few years back, which was underpowered for the weight of the vehicle. Like you, i don't drive fast and don't need to accelerate hard and so no problem!? Upon driving the vehicle i found that you had to put your foot most of the way to the floor and it would eventually pick-up speed. This meant that you needed to think ahead if you were going to perform any manoeuvre. OK, no great shakes, but it was a change of thinking on how to drive and i didn't feel connected to the vehicle. Any slight gradient and the vehicle would start to slow down and you would be dropping through the gears; engine always felt like it was straining.
The big problem though was that if you were in the outside lane and a filter was coming up, for instance, you would have no ability to accelerate to safely get into position. Thing is, other drivers would be expecting you to do this and so it could all get very messy. As for over-taking, God help you!
Point i am making is that i would think long and hard about buying an under-powered vehiclei.e. under-powered, as opposed to low-power, which is completely different!

By the way, i don't know if this vehicle is under-powered as i haven't looked at the review. I am merely making a general point, which may be relevant to this and other deals.

God awful rushed to market vehicle!

No wonder they are practically giving em away...

Yes, that seems a fair summary. I don't want a fast car, but am used to a minimum level of power. I might be OK with a torquey diesel, but changing gear all the time makes a journey more tiring.

Spare wheel has been removed from the new build eco-sport

If this is a ugly car whats a Dacia Stepway, i would have this any day,some people have got high expectations

Ford make some good cars ( Fiesta, Focus) but this is their worst effort for sometime!

is this lease for a new 65 plate or used car , can anyone clarify plz xx

Interesting insight.

Would you have to tell the insurance company it is a lease car? would it possibly increase the insurance cost?

Indecently you can buy this 2015 model on finance for £129 x24 with a £999 deposit (Inc a £1425 deposit contribution from Ford) plus a final lump of £8293 if you don't want to lease.

Ok thanks for your reply. I really need a new car as my X reg Picasso which is costing a lot recently + £250 a year to tax. This car comes with free tax for first year, then £30 for the 2nd year?

you don't pay tax, lease company does

Very ugly doesn't even fit in with the rest of the Ford range.

Probably just below average I'd say. It's also got poor fuel economy compared to its rivals (Juke etc.)

Let's just say, going up a slip road to join a motorway is not the most pleasant experience in this car. Starting from 30mph, you'll be lucky to be hitting 50mph by the time you join it. Add a few passengers on the chunky side and couple of 20kg pieces of luggage and you're looking at just over 40mph.

For the type of car this is, there's no denying it's underpowered - you could argue that it could be unsafe in certain situations.

For use in and around the city, I don't see a problem. But as for national speed limits...:confused:

Evans Halshaw.

Tax is included in leases as it isn't your car to tax, you are essentially borrowing it.

It's pronounced "Echo" for those that didn't know not eco.

Horrible car: read the reviews!

Evans Halshaw love.

Ford blew it with this car. Cheap import from India and not up to the usual standard they offer. It launched with terrible reviews from everyone so much so that within 12 months they announced the development of a new version.

The new one is available to order from next month I think. Better ride, you can remove spare wheel, better equipment levels including heated screen. I would still avoid though..

I've got one of these on order (Titanium), regardless of the reviews i still liked it :smiley:
My view is if you're interested go test drive one and if you like it, get it :smiley:

It is interesting how many people make up their minds based on online reviews. The same online reviews that praise the Dacia's.

I saw one on the road recently and it is much better looking in real life. Certainly more than a Dacia. And the interior is fine. Drove the 98bhp version recently as a loan car and it was more than adequate. It is very torquey and coped well with acceleration. It is no high speed demon though.

For the price it is a reasonable car. Better than a Dacia anyday. Or even the ugly as sin Juke. That does make me vomit, yet there are so many on the road. See it, drive it and make your mind up. Dont believe the online reviews blindly.

This is under a fiver a day for 2 years. Not a bad price for a spacious family runabout.

What a great deal

the original ones were - but the uk model is built in india
they are making models for sale globally
same as mustang was american left hand only.. .now its available for sale here as right hand

Yeah, realised that after I wrote it.

Still, 72bhp per tonne is very poor. Even the basic C1, Aygo, 108 etc. have in excess of 80bhp per tonne.

Good for city driving, not so good on B roads, motorways, dual carriageways etc.

Thank youThank you x

Incidentally, I really like this car. My mum has one (petrol not diesel) and it is a great car very roomy and more than fast enough for me was doing 80 at one point without even realising

Chortle...my dad's car had something that showed him how far he'd driven way back in 1962.

It reminds me of reading the estate agent particular for a house in London...the house costs a cool £1 million & the estate agent particulars speak of "a ceiling rose in the dining room" ....."wait, let me get my wallet out, this million pound purchase has a ceiling rose...& they must cost an astonishing £30")

​I wouldn't say "most" there are more on finance than leased but leasing is gaining year on year.

Even uglier than a Citreon Cactus!

Good Lord, how could they omit the heated screen? That's the first feature i check out in a car!

Thing is if you're used to the Titanium trim in other Fords you'll be disappointed that a lot is missed off from this model. Check out [url]www.ecosportownersclub.co.uk/forum[/url] and you'll see a lot are missing that heated screen!

Someone in work has one of these, I mentioned to another colleague as to who the hell owns that, it`s ugly, and looks `thin` to me too?
Now I`ve read some reviews, not to mention the underpowered engine for the weight of the car, and the fact that it is built in India it appears a worse car than I first thought :smile:

what in the hell is that

car we get a car section on this site please..

Great deal in terms of monthly payment; but... put your family in this and it's border-line dangerous to drive: 90BHP, 14 seconds 0-62 205Nm, and a poor NCAP rating. Not voting either way.

do we have Titanium option available or just the Zetec?

I am a Ford driver but would not touch this ! Not poor but many bad reviews & Ford now realise that they can't give them away..but wait a minute a new version is out soon !

And that's a good thing that pedestrians are totally unsafe?

I tend to drive carefully rather than rely on my car's NCAP rating to save pedestrians.

Which means you're safer in it than out of it. :smiley:

this is the old version..cheap tacky sh**e!
i can vouch for that because i work for Ford.
and i have the 1.5 diesel in my fiesta and to be fair other than the economy (average of 65mpg)its gutless!
the new version is certainly an improvement but still not a car you would want!

And I guess you are super human and can predict a small child running out in front of you. What a tool.

Takes one to know one.

Are you about 11 or 12?

8, actually.

There are some silly exaggerations going on in this thread. It might be at the bottom of it's class, but the ecosport is a long way from being a bad car in any sort of absolute sense.

uh oh! looks like I'm going to be a rebel for getting this car! :-D
I feel bad for liking it!

Not sure why anyone would go for this when you can get, for example, a much better car for another £100/month or so.

Juke 49.6mpg
Ecosport 45.8mpg

You quoted a 1.4mpg difference - but according to HJ it's a 3.8mpg difference. 'Marginally less' has become 'significantly more'.

http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/nissan/juke-2010/15-dci
http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/ford/ecosport-2014/15-tdci

Putting the numbers/fuel economy to one side, it is well and truly underpowered. I've driven one with no passengers and it was struggling to go up a 10% incline.

Who knows what would've happened if I had Peter Kay, Johnny Vegas and Michelle McManus in the car - probably would start to roll backwards towards the top of the hill.

I think people are definitely being a bit over critical here.
As a few others have said, talk of it being dangerously slow is quite ridiculous. I've not driven one but the weight is the same as my old ford escort but this car has an extra 30bhp. I was definitely able to exit slip roads onto the motorway at 80mph+ in that so this car should be fine.

If you actually read the review linked in car magazine too there is hardly any criticism, their summary came down to "We’re disappointed with the Ecosport’s unenthusiastic handling, and gripes about Ford’s exterior and interior design remain."

So if you're happy with how it looks then the only issue is the handling, and I don't think anyone buying one of these is looking for a car that handles well.

The review also says "Ford’s gone for a rather soft suspension set-up, prioritising ride comfort and refinement (which is very strong)"

And the review points out that this is the best engine to go for.

Overall you're not going to get anything bigger than a C1/Micra for these monthly payments and I think this will be well ahead of those cars. You'd normally be paying £170ish a month for anything this size with a diesel engine.

I sense there's a little lease deal competitiveness going on here, with these two ton weight claims and squabbling over a few mpg and bhp.

My favorite so far is the claim about struggling up hills from someone who posted a leasing deal for the infamous 'Watchdog' Fiat 500 1.2. Even the Stig couldn't get that up a steep hill.

Remember guys, it's a diesel, it's all about the torques. :smiley:

you couldn't pay me to drive around in this.....

thanks OP for taking the time to put this up. Im enquiring in the hope we can get it :smiley:

Ugly car. Great deal.

Still an underpowered vehicle going by your standards it seems. The i30, C1 and 1.6 Astra aren't exactly speed machines either.

So why all the negativity and over exaggeration about this deal?

Underpowered for a SUV. The i30, C1 or Astra are not SUVs. Fiat admitted there was a problem and fixed it. Since then, no problems - hence the deal being posted.

Have a look at the most liked comments, it really is an awful car. Not just the engine, interior is poor and tacky, uncomfortable seats, small boot space for a SUV and awful design when it comes to opening the boot.

Also, I have no idea what you're on about with regards to 'lease deal competitiveness'. I vote a lease deal based on my opinion, just like every other HUKDer out there. Plenty of other lease deals around that I've openly said are great deals.

Additionally, I've given another reason as to why this deal is 'meh' (and perhaps the most significant) - you can buy the car for £13k, sell privately for £9k 2 years later - a loss of £4k. Whereas this lease costs £3.5k - it's not the typical lease where you save £1000+. Granted it's still a saving - but a small one nonetheless.

Still, I have no idea why you seem to have an agenda against me...

Why would anyone pay this much every month when you end up with nothing at the end of it? Crazy.

That patent was with Triplex and it expired as an exclusive ears ago!

To be fair there are no "outstanding" cars in this class, the EcoSport, Juke, Yeti and Mokka have their faults personally I like the Mokka and think it's actually better than the reviews (launch models?) Just ordered a lease Mokka for the wife for £167 with £1149+vat down but it is 1.7 cdti 130ps auto with full leather and nav....

I'm pretty sure people will now make derogatory comments about this vehicle but my wife loves it! but like I say there are no 5 star vehicles in this segment we choose this as it has pretty good performance and spec compared to others in the sector 0-62 in 10ish seconds.

We tried the yeti and duke but my wife like the Mokka the best.

Now bring on the haters.......

So basically you pay a total of £3552 over 24 months plus whatever a 10k service would cost.

Providing you don't mark the car badly or go over mileage you hand it back no final payments no catch?

Another question does it have to be serived by ford?

Seems like a fairly good deal. If you got it from ford dealer you pay more a month and likely be very lucky to sell it to cover what you would owe the credit company!

That is one ugly car.

Erm, not stupid, no. Just struggle to see how £3.5k to rent a fairly cr*p car for a couple of years is a good deal.
It just seems a ridiculous amount of money. Yes it probably works out cheaper than the depreciation if you were buying it, but that argument only works if you were going to buy a brand new focus, which most people would not be considering as its not a great car, and most people don't buy new cars.
So as I said, stupid idea and not a hot deal in my opinion.

looks like a new model is out, might be the reason for the price. I'm leasing a focus right now for £150/month. got it just before new model came out,,, a steal!

Amazing deal heat added.

According to Ford there would have been no room to locate it under the boot or even replace it with a tyre repair kit.

You've kinda contradicted yourself. Sure it's not a great car but from a financing perspective it makes total sense.

Many people buy new cars. If they didn't, used cars for yourself would not exist.

​every other manufacturer managed it and indeed so did the 2016 model of this apparently, so surely they have contradicted themselves ?

Wow that is chuffin hideous

So it makes sense to own a cr*p car if it's cheap. Strange world some people live in.
I appreciate some people have to buy new cars so that used cars are available. But no-one would buy one of these hateful things through choice surely? The fact that they're this price to lease suggests that they probably can't sell them, which isn't surprising really.

FORD - Fix Often, Repair Daily.

I haven't seen so much crap posted form someone in a single thread in a while.
I have a Fiesta diesel, it has 68hp and weighs 1135kg that's approx 60hp/ton it has no problems climbing up a 11% hill at 50mph every day on the way home from work.

A lot of hate on this thread...let it go....this is just a car .everyone has different tastes. If you have owned one ,driven one or know someone who has one that you have been in and experienced ,then go ahead and critic ....but if you are basing a review on something you have read ,then quote it and move on....

Apologies if already asked but out of interest I was wondering the kinds of fees for going over the agreed mileage for these kinds of deals? Also the fees for light damage like scratches etc?

1962? A trip computer akin to the ones in cars these days or an odometer?

That's great.

Have you driven the Ecosport?

Well, I have never driven one (or indeed seen one in the flesh), but the only honest and impartial car review site seem to quite like it;

http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/ford/ford-ecosport-2014-road-test/

My thoughts exactly!!! Some serious Badge snobs on here, I have a VW Golf as a company car and a Mondeo as my personal car - and the Mondeo wins hands down as being the better of the 2 to drive hence why i kept it!

Using right gears in right places, you could probably climb hill with 70mph :smile:

As for this "ecosport" great value for money, but 1.5tdci means real eco (word sport should not be here)..... To be honest even 1.7cdti on mokka is a bit too low, but that's my own opinion. Good car for them people who take about a minute to set off at traffic lights and build up speed so slow that no one else gets thru...:neutral_face:

Not all manufactures have spare wheels or even a well to put a spare wheel!

It's an average car. Neither great nor crap.

As with any asset, if it appreciates, buy it. If it depreciates, lease it. It's really simple finance principles.

Cheap lease deals mainly exist due poor sales, needing to get rid of stock or a car coming to the end of its life.

Hot for price alone. Not my cup of tea. Test drive before you buy/lease :wink:

I was responding to you saying Ford say no room for a tyre OR repair kit. Ever car has one or the other.

voted hot

Cool. Please can you tell me where I can lease a microwave oven, some clothes, a kingsize bed and a new lounge carpet?

I think he just means cars really, uses the same line every time :smiley:

The actual review was quite good for anyone that bothered to read it. Definitely not a 5 star car, but not as tragic as many are making it out on here.

I agree. Just don't like that Rav4 looks at the back...very 90s

Yet oddly for the 2016 model year they have done just that hence the cheap deal to move on old stock...

I like it and I bought one! Mrs loves the rear tyre and great for the price.

Agreed. Use a repair kit and guarantee you need to buy a new tyre every time. Pus repair kits don't repair anything bigger than a puncture. Holes and rips mean you're stranded until recovered or another wheel/tyre is sourced.

Bever heard of these cars

Nothing wrong with the power to weight ratio on this, or any other car I've come across for British roads.

Too many "drivers" misusing the term "underpowered".

As with most new cars, it's just a white good, so what's the all the fuss about?

But it looks dreadful :s

2nd comment on this list is surely by the leasing company.

what a ugly looking car

I have a clue when it comes to this leasing thing - so please be gentle on the dummy.
£1750 a year seems alot - i always factor in £1000 a year depreciation when buying a car that is 4 or 5 years old?
Please educate me

Dont have to be dealer. Its illegal to stipulate so.

This argument comes out a lot. It's pretty meaningless since cars are really the only thing that you can lease. Unless you're advocating we all get rental agreements for new TVs, mobile phones washing machines etc.
Also, the argument that leasing is better than buying only works if the objective is to end up with a brand new example of a specific model of car. In this case it's not a car that most people would ever think about buying new on account of its horrendous looks and average reviews so the argument to lease rather than buy this car falls over.

You can lease many things. What do you think tenants do?

First car I've ever seen score as low as 2/5 in Auto Express tests:

"Awkward styling, compromised practicality, low economy and poor quality"

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ford/ecosport

My 2 pence..

This car is just OK.. It seems to have been a bit of a flop from Ford and the rear tyre was removed as standard to try and improve the rear end. The residuals on these will be very poor (of course not an issue on lease). When I sat in one it felt very plasticy (similar to the old Dacias and Kias), even in the titanium model which is supposed to be top of the range. For this kind of price I think you can pick up a Fiesta which is a much more refined car and feels so much better inside.

It also lacked some of the features expected from a Ford such as heated front screen, which I think is now an optional extra. I don't think Ford have sold anywhere near as many as they expected to.

But like anything some will love it and others wont, overall it is a decent price for an OK car..

Exactly.

Its was called that since it was first sold in 2003 in Brazil, where it is regularly one of the top selling cars even now
Eco doesnt mean ECONOMICAL
but equally not Buzz words either

but lets not forget the recall that was on these, http://www.ibnlive.com/news/auto/ford-india-recalls-20752-ecosport-cars-to-inspect-corrosion-concerns-731605.html
any other issues they havent found yet...

i have to say..yes car have been fab so far-ive been dealt with really well by a lovely lady called Emma. So far so good

So have you gone for one?
Is it the version with the spare wheel?

yes i have, and i dont know..but dont really care either way. I sat in it today and its comfy, spacious, kids loved it..what more can i say? im not fussy or worried about plastic trims etc, although it looked really lovely to me. For the price it has cost us to repair our old wreck year on year we will have a new car. Im just grateful to the OP. I wont have to sell it can just hand it back.

Oh and re service you have to pay for an oil change after yr 1, then give back before 2yr anniversary to avoid the main service cost. You can get it done at your choice garage x

Did they say how long delivery would be

for those considering a pcp
this is the september deal on offer - yes a higher deposit - but you get the option to part ex towards next car too
but can show the benefits of leases vs buying
this is for the petrol ecoboost though so not a direct comparison but for this higher spec titanium model with metalic paint and may be of interest to those for whom a diesel isnt appropriate (local short journey driving)

​Ordered one, too, a Titanium. And dealt with Emma. Sounded very nice. What colour did you get? Wanted Mars Red but not available, so went for Smoke.

​​Ordered one, too, a Titanium. Told about 2 weeks.

yes within 2 weeks :smiley:

we are having smoke..is the titanium more expensive? she just told me we will have parking sensors.

Parking sensors, too. But only an extra £5 per month.

sounds good but theyve put the order through now :/

​Same here. After reading the reviews I thought I would hate it but I was pleasantly surprised. In the flesh the showroom smoke one looked really nice.

i havent seen it 'live' it was black in our local dealers, but it was v comfy :smiley:

​it's a fiesta essentially. Had one as a hire car it was awful.

Just an abbreviation used for ford. If you own or owned a ford, you'll know what I mean.

i think we need pics when delivered :smiley:

I have ordered one too, the only colour they had left in the zetec was silver. Parking sensors included too, delivery 14-18 days. I test drove one and loved it. I'm upgrading from a 10 year old 3 door 1 litre Toyota yaris so the lack of acceleration shouldnt bother me.

Oh and i asked, it is the model with the wheel on the back.

thats good to know! im the same tho it will be a huge improvement on my old car :smiley:
i dont care if it has the wheel on do you? i think thats why theyre going at this price! they can throw another ugly bargain at me in two years too :wink:

bit disappointed car isnt coming til the end of the month :/

for what it's worth i picked up mine last weekend from a main dealer and i got the 1ltr turbo titanium with tinted windows and parking sensors in white and i'm pretty pleased with my choice (coming from a 11' Toyota Yaris).

If anyone has any questions i'm happy to try and answer them :smiley:

Post a pic?

ok i'll do it at lunch time!

ooh we saw white titanium on sainsburys car park yesterday it looked lovely x

Anybody going post a pic of their new car ?

well i would but its end of month delivery!

I was told 14-18 day delivery when I ordered last week, I still haven't had any paperwork beyond the actual quotation documents. Has anyone heard much from Yes lease?? Have you had an actual delivery date confirmed?

hia yes we had the paperwork emailed over after we paid the £300..its from ford. I have to return it by post with my licence and 14 days after the car is ours. [email protected] is the admin lady who has sent it. So far i have had no delay in response. HTH

Thanks very much, I will give her a call.

Hi!

Sorry for those that wanted to see a pic of my Ecosport that i've had for just over a week now! See below.

looking forward to getting ours now :smiley:

Oh that looks lovely I can't wait!

Called Lois yesterday and she said she's been inundated with orders! She is hoping to get my paperwork from ford in the next couple of days and then once I return it I get the car after a 14 day cooling off period.

I was hoping to have it by the end of the month as my current car Road tax runs out then!

You now get a refund for VED/road tax on any unused whole months.

thats fab :smiley: ive sent mine back yesterday.

Looks lovely

Thank you, i didn't know that.

anyone had any news?
phonecall to day delivery 6th oct :smiley:

I have been told I can have it delivered on the 7th but I'm still awaiting confirmation!

yep me too she said id get an email x

How exciting! I've still not seen any on the road!

well there will be at least us :laughing:

I got a Titanium petrol. Came today. Well chuffed with it. The delivery guy, who is independent, said an unbelievable deal.

Ooh that's good news. I'm a bit concerned I've still not had confirmation that the 7th is going ahead and I've arranged to sell my car tomorrow based on their original predictions on delivery dates... (I was told 14-18 days on the day this deal was posted!)

Picked mine up today more than happy thanks. Op

same here..i was told 2 weeks when i originally enquired and eventually 14 days after paperwork. Last week told it will be tuesday maybe monday if they can for me..but would confirm and i have had no confirmation or reply to my email today. I did say to her id need to sort insurance etc so please confirm. :/

Have existing car insurance with Hastings Direct but they wouldn't insure as I'm not the registered owner. But didn't seem to affect price with other insurers. In end £350 fully comp for me and Mrs, who have both made claims in last year.

Hastings was a nightmare for me..the insurer who doesnt insure your windscreen-i was with them only one year and guess whose windscreen smashed? :/

still no word re delivery...

Love ours. Do you have a reg number?

I ended up calling Lois on Friday to find out what was going on. Apparently Becky (who seems to arrange deliveries) has been out of the office but I am booked on the deliveries sheet for the 7th. Still a pain though if I'm honest, I shouldn't have to chase them! Fingers crossed Wednesday goes ahead... I'd suggest calling Lois tomorrow if you still haven't heard anything.

Re: insurance, I know I am not the legal owner, do you know if we are the registered keeper?

yes i do..going to ring this morning..

thanks will do and no we should have got the email to confirm and im going to be really annoyed as i dont have time to mess with insurance today. Also people need to plan days off.

No registered keeper means your name is on the log book and it wont be x

mine is coming tomorrow insured with LV £250

Thanks for your help. I've never had a claim and I have 9 years ncb but my insurance was £600! With AXA who were cheapest! Ah well it's done now!

Hope you like it, I can't wait until tomorrow for mine to come!

i used moneysupermarket have a look cos you have time to cancel? LV no excess inc NCB protection too :smiley:

[img][/img]

I'm going to look right now thanks, how's the car!!

its fab better than expected i love it :smiley: O/H thinks its great and we both said we wish we had done it sooner. Yes have apologied and been great :smiley:

oh and LV through swinton was almost £600 and it was inferior policy!

Just got a quote through money supermarket and it's coming up as £620 cheapest! It may be my age? I'm 29! Never mind!!

I'll post a pic of mine once I get it tomorrow! Happy driving ! Lol

oh dear what a shame..nice that you're 29 tho!

Oh do :smiley: and compare notes :smiley:

Well done all! I love my Ecosport!

fab. After all the neg comments i was a bit concerned but as long as we all like it. My son loves the boot too as he can open it so easily-simple things lol

I couldn't sleep last night it was like Xmas!! Now I'm up bright and early, I hope it gets delivered early!!

has it arrived? :smiley: im guessing you are out and about if so! we had it on the mway today and so nice. Wish we had done this sooner x

It came at 1pm and I took it for a spin! I love it! Not done anywhere too far yet but will be on the motorway at the weekend. I'm a bit scared of the size of it at the moment because I'm upgrading from a small Yaris but I'm already getting used to it! I just hope there's a similar deal in two years when this expires and I have to give it back!

spoke to Becky re this and she said options to keep, or get a new car. She said we will be come addicted now..:confused:

I've just spent hours reading the 248 page manual...!!

I hope I do get the option to buy at the end, although who knows I might hate it in a week!

ooft i couldnt be doing with all that..left it to o/h just worked out the radio, seats and synced my phone :smiley:

Me, too. And climate control.

I've not managed to sync my phone because I can't find the app! Is it only on iPhone? I've tried searching in Google play store on Android but it isn't showing...

oooh noo just turn on bluetooth on your phone, and go to the menu on the car, and add phone and follow instructions took 2 minutes. I havent synced the rest of it as i would only use for calls in. You then can answer on the steering wheel.

the delivery guy was really nice showed us that :smiley: having issue with car seats tho as gap between seat stems and outer plastic piece on the seats isnt wide enough!

Bless her! Bluetooth was the first thing I did, too, but to play Deezer on my phone through the cars' speakers.

omg havent figured that lol

Just got back from a weekend away 150mi each way ish... Drive not bad at all... Still haven't sorted Bluetooth! Will do that later though!

motorway is lovely..have now got kids seats sorted :smiley: all good x

Am I the only one that sees another one of these cars and gives the driver a knowing sort of grin to say "Hot deals bargain?" lol

ha we still think this :smiley:

ok guys the oil change..........who did you people use?? i was told any garage who can stamp it but then told a ford approved..so??
