How Does the Ford EcoSport Compare to its Subcompact Competitors?

The market for subcompact SUVs has been heating up in recent years, and it's not hard to understand why. People like SUVs. They like the better standard of space and ability they provide.

One thing they don't like, however, is their size. Bigger SUVs can be harder to handle and need more fuel than smaller cars. That's where subcompact SUVs like the Ford EcoSport come in.

A smaller vehicle that shrinks the SUV experience down to a more convenient size, the EcoSport delivers a solid standard of features and ability that costs less than many of its larger siblings.

The EcoSport isn't without competition, however. Other automakers offer their own subcompact models. The big question for drivers in Moapa and North Las Vegas, is are they better than the EcoSport?
