2016 Ford Ecosport: what owners report

• A French review site's tally of 39 owner reviews of the second-generation 1.0 EcoBoost 125 (2014-2019 cars) counts five engine failures, the fault it reports most, and the site warns of coolant leaks on this engine.2014–2019
• The manual gearbox and clutch are the next weak spot on the second-generation 1.0 EcoBoost 125 in France: the same site's tally of 39 reviews counts four gearbox and three clutch failures.2014–2019
• Real-world fuel use disappoints: eight French owners of the second-generation 1.0 EcoBoost 125 mark it down, quoting 7-8.8 L/100 km, and some UK owners say their mpg falls well short of the official figure.2014–2019
• The boot of the second-generation EcoSport is a common complaint: seven French owners call it too small, and UK owners say the side-hinged rear door opens the wrong way for British kerbs.2014–2019
