Has anyone any views on the Ford Ecosport for 21 days in KNP? Mainly for the higher seat position and ground clearance. How does it compare with the Toyota Avansa? There are only two of us.

Where do you pick it up? If at Tambo Airport they only have the Toyota. I have also tried to find something else, but have only found that one. Maybe the Ford is a too recent model -O-

What did you think of the Avansa, is it worth paying the extra for the higher ride?

Hello, Ray! X#X

Avanza is better than sedan, lots of space and quite cheap and high, and fine for highway too! \O
