and I personally am looking forward to taking one for a test drive as I think this car will suit my needs for work PERFECTLY and would sit nicely next to the ST.
You want my opinion? Well unlike some who will blindly defend this awful looking abomination simply because it is a Ford, I prefer to call a spade a spade and tell things the way I see them.
The front end is plainly ridiculous - wrong on so many levels and a downright disgrace to the good looking Territory that it came from. The rear end, like the Kuga, looks like its been involved in a collision with a b-double, and that spare wheel carrier looks like it came off a 1985 Landcruiser.
The 1.0 ecoboost might work well in something the size of a Suzuki Alto, but in the Ecosport it will be hauling ~1300kg around, so I can imagine what a strained and gutless wonder it will be. And don't get me started on the interior. The dashboard looks like a monstrosity of melted plastic without any style or substance. Simply puke worthy.
And ugly soulless appliances like this are future of motoring in this country? I'd rather catch the train to work.
