Awful cars, they were originally intended for the more-developing markets (e.g. where they're built, as above) until Ford decided that if ugly stuff like the Juke can sell over here, so can the EcoSport.

Eejit alert!

Seems to be the old model with spare wheel on rear door.

Interesting, I'd never even heard of the EcoSport, at first glance I read it as Ford Escort.....

Shares a chassis with Mazda 2, Ford Fiesta and B-Max.
Made in Russia, Thailand, India and Brazil.

I'll be looking out for them, looks like a fun little car.

This version has been made since 2012, the old model pre-2012 looks very different.

Seems a good price but reviews on this are pretty shocking. Voted hot but holding out for something more drive able.

My C1 is £93 per month and it was my first lease. Now im comfortable with this way of motoring think id pay more and go for something like this next time.

The Volks Gate affair has heralded the start
of the end of the diesel. Buy now before they
run out.

I have this in 65 plate great car

THIS is really cheap... for what it is and compared to other prices Have some heat!

a new car for £1600 a yr,good deal

I have just inquired about this car. I am totally new to leasing. Is there anything I need to ask like servicing, additional charges etc... Just so I know the exact contract that I would be signing.

Thanks

Go on then. I will laugh rather
than curse you.

As you make no sense, methinks you are drunk, or on the whacky baccy, so go away and play with your petrol knob.

I bet the build quality is... interesting...

Decent deal, bit more room than the C1 etc which are usually around this price band.

These just haven't been as popular as the Mokka or Captur

Thanks. It does seem like a great deal.

I saw these in New Zealand last year and thought wow that's a tall Fiesta. I wasn't really sure what to make of it. sort of a little Kuga. :man:

Try and contact the manufacturer directly as in your local Ford dealership, try and speak to the department that specifically deals in lease hire and not the usual salesman, we've just leased a VW TIGUAN and got the exact same lease deal but didn't have to pay the Admin fee, as that's the fee these agent gets. :sunglasses:

Forgot to say, hot deal, heat added. :smile:

Seems hot

**** car but good deal anyway

Please read the reviews of these in the specialist press before committing yourself to 24 months of driving misery - these cars apparently drive as bad as they look.

Reviews are some of the worst I've ever read - one to avoid, really!

Ford Europe has turned out some excellent cars in recent years (only the badge held them back) but under the new global strategy (after the company nearly collapsed in the banking crisis) we're going to get some of the rubbish they foist on less discerning parts of the world. Rot set in with the latest Mondeo (again, read reviews) and things like this can only hasten the loss of a reputation hard won in recent years.

Still, at least with a lease you can breathe a big sigh of relief as you hand it back after 2 years of motoring misery.

Rented one of these last month in Barbados, for a family of four, car seat, booster seat in back did not leave much room, but for the kids was okay, in the front plenty of room, usual ford interior, the boot managed to fit two large suitcases, one smaller one, a medium size body bag and a quinny buzz pram on the top. So though the boot looks small stacking right can get a lot in. We had the 1.5 Petrol version brand new had done 3000 miles, I put it through some good testing, struggled to get up some extremely steep dirt tracks wheels spinning but never got stuck (the sort you would not take your own car up)

I would say its cheap it was good fun on the dirt tracks going totally off the beaten track, good job the car hire firm dint see where we took it (the good thunder storm the day before we left cleaned the car up nicely) :-) the negative for me was the seat was just uncomfortable we used it daily and covered 600 miles in the two weeks going all over the island.
I would not buy\lease one just down to the drivers seat being so uncomfortable, but this is a good deal heat added

Well not one lease hater has shown up! I do believe that this progress...

Do you have personal experience of this car? I don't and think I'd take a punt given what else is available at this price point. Just my opinion for what it's worth.

Had one as a courtesy car, a day was too long.

£3k is an expensive punt that you'd be stuck with for two years. Test drive one first.

So my 'negativity' wasn't exaggerated?

:wink:

A person convinced against their will ...

:confused::confused:

what is the better car out of this car, the Nissan Juke or the Citroen Cactus? Ignore the looks, I mean performance, space, quality, equipment etc? Interested in the HUKD opinion poll. They*re all around £135-50 to lease.

Thankyou :smiley:
Cactus can be nice to look at with the right colours, think the deal only offers arctic steel and no idea what colour 'cactussy bits' they have.

The price has gone up a bit on this over the weekend apparently. it is around 3500 over the term now. I am tempted because of what I have read about the improvements that make this car less of a dog than last years model. Also seems like a decent city car for a tall driver such as I.

we have this on lease..i love it. If you hand back less than 24mths you dont pay the service

yes its an oil change any garage can stamp the book at 12 mths then service 2 years. I was told no penalty just hand back before 2 years, but we will def get another car on these terms..we reckon its saing us £30 a month in fuel. Got a car thats lovely to drive/park warm and comfy with aircon! All the safety features too. We actually enjoy going out in it x

Hi,

I have never leased before and need some help!! I have clicked on the link and then clicked on the Ecosport, but i am then hit with a load of options! Which is the one that works out at £135 per month? How do they work this out?

Sorry and thanks for any help!

Also, has this gone up in price now? Is it still competitive?

161 pounds now. Got to get when u can.

still seems a good deal though - i can't find any better for same spec of car.

cold!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilt7CrYn358
