3 wheel track action

Cool video. I have yet to make any lane changes that were anywhere near that aggressive. It's nice to know the car won't flip in that situation. Just looking at an Eco Sport, you might think that could be a problem.

I know, right? It looks top heavy. It has great ground clearance for being the smallest CUV, ever. That should make it tipsy, but it's not. It's based on the Fiesta platform, and Fiestas were class-leading handlers through all their iterations, and they dominated their class(es) in rally racing.

Ford figured out how to make small, fwd cars fun to drive early on. Dodge and Chevy never did. Ford always had competitive hot hatches in Europe, but we just didn't see them here until 2014.
It got its handling from that race-winning platform, and just got tall.

It was built for the 3rd world, and they love it. Plenty of old ones still driving around, even if they look a mess. They can handle more than we ask of them.

Off-road goofing in India. The approach and departure angles are impressive, and they only got fwd. This car is tougher than it looks.
