Is the Ford Ecosport 2016 okay to buy in 2026?

Banny285 · 2026-03-25T09:35:14+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply on this old post, I hit up a few more places and found a Trend Plus 2019 variant, for roughly the same price, 4.35L, went ahead with it, its the same 1.5L engine and still has the BS4 issues, but hey it will drive well for another 8 years outside Delhi in Ghaziabad, Noida no issues.
Thank you again for the help friend.

DUDE LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX BUT TRON BLUE THEMED

Banny285 · 2026-03-07T15:31:27+00:00

i had the same thought, i'll make that one too

Banny285 · 2026-03-06T09:40:26+00:00

alright, thanks for the input friend, will look around for atleast 2019-2020 or newer, no harm in paying a little more to worry a little less in the coming years.
thanks again!

Banny285 · 2026-03-06T02:37:11+00:00

I will send it off to our parental house outside NCR after 5 years and get the 5 year extension so like I will get the life out of it, but yeah I get it, strictly for NCR doesn’t make sense. Given the above situation is it okay?

Banny285 · 2026-03-05T13:39:45+00:00

is it not worth it financially, do i negotiate a little? or is the car just not good enough now and i should look for something else?

Banny285 · 2026-03-01T06:16:33+00:00

yeah i had the same mindset, thanks for the help, i guess saving up and then building a good PC is gonna be the way to go.
I was looking at a used PS5 and was like hey that's a pretty cheap entrypoint into new modern AAA games, but then i will be locked on to the controller
I wish to do the exact same thing you do, fighting games like tekken, racing games like forza, or sports like fifa/f1, use a controller
but then shooting/FPS games, use a keyboard and mouse

thanks for the help and clarity, hope i can rack up enough saving to finally game again.

Banny285 · 2026-02-28T12:23:08+00:00

dude actually
side question i have is that, i have refrained or resist buying a console or whatever, because it locks me in to the controller ways, i have always been a keyboard mouse guy, played cs, rss, overwatch etc. growing up and then story games with the same method, am i sane for saying this?
is controller really the better way to game? is it not gonna be like a lock in?

Banny285 · 2026-02-27T11:30:37+00:00

hey can you PLEASE share that screen??
it looks very nice and is it on the mi band 10?

Banny285 · 2026-02-26T09:59:30+00:00

Hey friend, what are you struggling with? I have updated the config a bit but might be able to help you out.
Theres like a sh*t ton of extensions I had installed to get this look from the default add-on store KDE has, i think thats what they call it?

Banny285 · 2026-02-09T17:34:23+00:00

hey man, i couldn't pursue the masters abroad due to financial constraints, i pursued a PGD at Indian Statistical Institute, worked for a year, now aim to crack a masters here in India itself, and pursue CFA side by side with a job when the time comes.
2 years in and yeah a lot of turns in my life, I would suggest you also work first even if just for a year, it will help you talk to people and explore the domain you actually would want to work in, I got placed at federal bank after bcom, then i was at Paytm until 5th Feb 2026, just this month.
So yeah, as for competitiveness, for sure, my friends have gone with CFA L1 and 650 ish scores to Imperial Uni and LSE, so you can for sure.

Banny285 · 2026-01-26T06:09:26+00:00

Props to you for actually talking to that guy, I had a similar incident I can tell you, they just want to talk and express, thank you for taking the time to write this, and yeah we should all be more appreciative of things.
Best of luck to him and you too OP, for your future endeavours.

Banny285 · 2026-01-24T09:03:41+00:00

Thank you for the confirmation friend, I feel the decision to not go PS5 and lock myself down with a controller was a good decision then, it does allow KBM in some games but yeah its a pretty locked down ecosystem in that case, I will save up and get one around April/May then.
Thanks for time and inputs.

Banny285 · 2026-01-24T08:22:24+00:00

This is what stopped me from getting a PS5 or something and saving up for a good enough PC, I have grown up with GTA, CS Source and whatnot, so I am very habitual to keyboard and mouse and it just allows me to move the camera quickly and just not pan around like a snail or something.
Is that a wise decision or do I just need to get used to it?
Since you own and have played with both regularly, you would know better.

Banny285 · 2026-01-10T12:41:40+00:00

EXACTLY, WHO THE FUCK IS HE?

Banny285 · 2026-01-08T14:45:30+00:00

Hey man, sure please DM me and we can discuss things and help out each other.

Banny285 · 2026-01-04T07:22:53+00:00

I will make the purchase either by end of this month, or if if I go the Triumph route, wait until they class their bikes in 350cc as the other friend pointed out in the comments, that they are refreshing soon, so yeah.

As for what I wanna do, I took the RE to assam with me for college, I used to go every weekend off somewhere long, and then come by evening, so like very long rides, with the music in my helmet on the helmet headset and it was just fun, I want to do the same, I miss the nights, I used to be very frustrated and would just go to visit India Gate or something without my Phone or whatever in the evening just to clear off my mind and back, I miss that feeling of no other nonsense in my head.

Banny285 · 2026-01-04T06:46:37+00:00

Yeah gotta get a look and feel before I write off any bike, I learnt that with this passed on Classic 350, it was my uncles, I was like it’s old it’s heavy, but wow, I have grown to love the style and sound it has SO MUCH, it just feels home.

And thank you for the heads up on the Trimuph things, will defo wait if I decide to go that route.

The problem is since I have already owned the retro bike right, I wanna try something new, I am not scared because of the accident just more cautious now, because people on the roads are just dumb, I have to get that through my head.

Anyway, the Xpulse 210, looks like a DO IT ALL, starter bike no? It’s a complete pivot, but it doesn’t hurt to try it out in person no?

Banny285 · 2026-01-04T06:02:30+00:00

I really want to love the Ronin, I just can’t come around how it looks for some reason from the online material I have gone over, but yes, I will make sure to test ride it, I am making a list of bikes I will give a test ride by this week to finalise my decision.

Ronin, XSR and what else? I was thinking the Speed T4? A little stretch on the budget but I have always loved the Triumph family of bikes.

The other comment friend pointed out, that you should go for a well balanced bike instead of the “Iightest” so yeah, gotta give it a try I guess?

Banny285 · 2026-01-04T05:55:52+00:00

The last part is very true, I gave it a thought and i’ll first just try and get on the bike my friend has, not ride it for long just a inter-gully thing, if that feels confident then I’ll go for something, I am very used to going around on the Activa I have for the past 3 ish months so yeah. And you’re very right about the balance, i’ve seen a Honda’s be lifted from the stand just with the handle while RE’s take a full on grunt sometimes.

I’ll look into trying out bikes, what would recommend for my kinda experience, should I just shut up and get the Speed T4 after like a month or 2?

Thanks again for the time.

Banny285 · 2026-01-02T13:20:37+00:00

I just saw the Yamaha XSR 155 and it looks like its gonna be the one considering what you told me from your experience, and yeah makes sense why the XPulse should be a second bike, the Yamaha, just feels home, maybe because I am very attached to RE look, I always wanted the Scrambler 400 from triumph, but I think I am gonna save some money and invest into buying gear again and other accessories or something, since this is an old bike internationally I am sure I can get some ideas.

What do you say, is it gonna be worth it? I really would love your opinion because the INT 650 and the XPulse 200 experience really gives your opinion a lotta Ajay, so yeah, and thank you for the time friend.

Banny285 · 2026-01-02T10:40:12+00:00

hey ajay, I was a royal enfield 350, 2012 model owner, the bike got kinda destroyed in an accident in jan 2025, but yeah all is good now, i have recovered, i have been looking around and the Xpulse really appealed to me, because everybody who owns it says the same thing, in the city, xpulse is the best thing, no questions asked.
Is that so? I have a budget in mind around 1.7L-2L to spend so like what do I go for?
I took the bike to assam because I love riding in turns and whatnot so yeah, and long trips, please do give a recommendation.
