Had to replace The spark plug wires after the 10,000 kms services. The cost of the replacement wires to high. The average cost of a wire set is around $ 80.00 usd and the cost of the wire set for this car is around $ 400.00 usd, a bit expensive!
The engine has become a little bit noise.
It is an excellent buy for low budget.
It handles like a car and the engine is very powerful, but not very economic in gas usage.
Fun car to drive.
Had to work more on the finish of the interiors, poor quality.
We also bought an Ecosport in Mexico; we agree with what this reviewer says: good power from the engine, but poor gas mileage. Fun to drive, smooth, handles like a car.
I disagree about the "roominess". This is a SMALL vehicle, with very little storage room inside. We had to buy a roof-top carrier just to travel on a short vacation, because inside there is very little storage space.
Dealer experience was okay, except for "extorting" another $10,000 pesos from us for the "mediocre-quality" leather seats that they added just before delivery. If you think car dealers in the U.S. are unscrupulous & underhanded, wait until you experience the Mexican version!
