5.0 Exterior | 5.0 Comfort | 5.0 Performance |
5.0 Fuel Economy | 5.0 Value for Money |
Exterior : The external features of this car are a pleasant to the eyes though I have to say that it is a little old fashioned compared to the recent launches but it is sturdy. I have been using this car since 2009 with 66,000 kms already done.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) : As a driver I find this car very comfortable, but the rear seating could have done with better styling and some extra legroom.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox : I am using the diesel variant and have been satisfied with the fuel economy I get, the engine is very responsive and is a definite value for money. i find the gearbox very smooth and have used it long enough to say that in a maintained car there is usually no issues with the engine and gearbox.
Ride Quality & Handling : Ford as company has be known to make cars for rough handling and fiesta is no different, it is suitable for the roughest road in india though we need to be careful as the ground clearance is average and at times the bottom does brush the speed breakers. The handling is very smooth.
Final Words : This car is low on maintenance, good on fuel economy and is a value for money, there may be many other cars in this segment but none can beat the low maintenance of Ford Fiesta.
Areas of improvement : In my Limited variant I miss the electronically controlled ORVM , USB and Bluetooth support and stearing mounted controls
Fuel economy, Style , Powerful & responsiveSeats could be better, Electronically adjustable ORVM, steering mounted controls, Usb & bluetooth
