hearty congrats Sameer, very happy for you and your family !!

I am waiting for my diamond white 1.5P Titanium to come in around October 12. before that, will have my diamond white 1.5P Trend delivered in the next few days :-)

We are eagerly waiting to hear from you on the power / driveability of the 1.5 P Manual transmission. Most importantly, hoping to hear some good figures from you on mileage / fuel efficiency.

Your inputs would be immensely valuable, pour them in :-)

I also saw the same thing in the TD vehicle. I think that should be perfume kind of thing.

@sameerdb: Congratulations of your white beast. Enjoy the riding with your EcoDee....
when did you booked?

It is nothing, just a perfume unit given by dealer. Not so good.

Thank you guys. Will sure put some good pics of ES and try and write review.
Am just taking my time before I write it.

1. please let us know how to do this?
2. Let me know what is the use of lock/unlock buttons in side the dashboard.

Also to all EcoSport owners,
1.Have you paid the temporary registration charges 6500 as specified in the quotation?
2.Which insurance they are giving by default with MPL Ford?

You have to press both lock and unlock btn on the remote for 5 sec. You will see that the indicators will blink twice.now if you press the unlock btn,it will unlock the driver door only. If you press it again in 3 sec, it will unlock all doors.

I did t get what mean by lock unlock btn on side of dash

i think he is referring to the lock/unlock button on the dash board (just above the audio unit), which can be used to lock or unlock all the doors.

[MSN1]

Odo reads 59 after they driven and bring it from neelamangla stock yard (almost 18 kms from palace cross road)
No scratches (parked in sunlight and checked)
A/c cooling is good,
all switches are working
No indication or warning lamps glowing once turned on except hand break as it is on (once switched off the engine the water and battery lights are glowing which is normal as i have the same indication my figo have checked and found same on another Ecosport
Trip meter reads 56.3
Engine hot run or some through checking was done after 15th july
Some of the parts has made after or checked or foxes on july
Engine starts and stops on single press
Only on driver foot rest area found few sand particles and rest of the floor is clean
Checked for almost 30+ minutes not able to find any issues

Fuel closure lid is plastic not metal even in my figo its metal

Both the keys looks similar and have same functionality
I mean spare key is exact ditto of the other key
Where on both actual metal key was hidden inside

After checking each noock and corners found no issues to reject it

And even our pdi doc clearly says vehicle should be manufactured with in 6 months and ran below 100 kms
This is with in 3 months and ran 59 kms

So gone ahead and said yes getting it by next week

Congrats buddy !! Waiting for these few days will be like years !!

Is it true they will allow, before delivery you can inspect the vehicle?

Btw, in the side by side pics of Ecosport (Chill and White) Chill is little bit height and white is less. Is this because of the 16" wheel in titanium?

Satisfaction at last right @MSN1, now its time for one more Ecosport-star in our forum, sems our forum has the most number of members with Ecosport,
I also dislike some el cheapo plastics of Ecosports interior and yes the fuel lid plastics, wonder how much Ford might have saved with that! anyway good to see Ford didnt mess up with your Ecosport.

It is quite evident from pics that trend and ambient varient looks small before titanium, because of small wheels and so naturally the height of vehicle also comes down.

I was transparent with the dealer and told them about my doubt about the manufacturing date based on vin number, dealer is good enough to agree and let me check and told me clearly that if i felt satisfied then take it or else they will add me to next lot

I took the shot to show the diffrence of one inch

Yes this shows the difference in height. So is there any chance, the mileage will differ for 15" and 16" wheels?

I have been thinking about it as well. Theoretically, the titanium will give a better mileage since more distance will be covered per revolution (everything else being constant). Will be interesting to test this hypothesis once enough data points are available :-)
