Simply Superb !
11 years ago | Aaditya
Exteriors Well the exteriors are a bit old fashioned and the car may not be as eye-catching or flashy as some others in its segment, but to me personally it does not make much of a difference as the car still looks great to me and also very decent, again this depends on ones own priorities and choice in selecting a car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The space is ample, 5 normal sized people can be easily accomodated without any complaint , the headroom and legroom is also appreciable overall the car is comfortable both in front and the rear, you also get a large 430L boot space

Talking about the features, as far as the Titanium variant is considered it is loaded with them, I would recommend you visit the official Ford website to know about them also you will get all the latest updates about the addons made, if you are considering this car and my review seriously.

To name a few: Airbags, ABS,EBD,Foglamps,Alloy Wheels,Immobiliser,New integrated music system and a lot more.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox In this segment the car is absolutely brilliant, the car sports a 1.6L engine which is larger in capacity than that of Honda city's traditional 1.5L, which is the most favourite car of this segment.

Classic's 1.6L duratec develops 101 horsepower@6500 rpm which is nice and a torque of 146 Nm@3400 rpm which makes it a bit quicker than almost all the cars in its segment ,the gearbox is smooth no complaints here. As long as fuel economy is concerned my presonal results are:

Highway : ~ 17 kmpl

City : ~ 14 kmpl

(With a/c turned on in both the conditions).

This factor again depends on user's driving style and driving conditions.

Ride Quality & Handling Both the ride quality and handling are smooth, well done Ford!!

Final Words To sum up, the car is an absolute gem and the price it is being offered at makes it an unbeatable and a practical package in its segment, also,I would surely recommend it to my friends. Lastly if you are seriously considering a vehicle a test drive is always a better option to verify that the vehicle satisfies all your attributes and expectations as it gives you a hands on experience which can never be obtained by just reading reviews.

Areas of improvement Exterior styling.
Performance, Handling, Ride Quality, Pricing, Music system, Air conditioning, Connectivity etc.Exteriors could have been modernized, not a issue though.

The best car
5 years ago | Viraj Pawar
The best pickup for 1.6 liter duratec- petrol engine. Powerful performance suspension is also well . Handling is excellent even at high speed. Good look . And about maintenance, it is about 3000 per year.

Overall a good, powerful value for money car
11 years ago | Aashish Belawat
Exterior The car is extremely well built, 0.7 gauge, unlike honda, hyundai ,Suzuki which are 0.5 gauge. Sturdy and tough body, firm on the road

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very spacious interiors, comfortable for 5, beige interior looks more open and posh. Be advised it can get dirty if not taken care well. Love the music system and features with the price and the range. I mean i dnt think any other make gives these features at the price.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I bought a 1.6 L petrol model.Its very powerful, pick-ups at 2nd or 3rd gear. Acceleration is good, gives Hinda City a run fr money!! Tried it at Highway, run well. Overall powerful engine..

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is firm, car sticks to ground all the time. At , 80-100-120kmph you dont feel car is putting to much effort, it glides well. Handling is good, it has a hydraulic power steering, steers exactly where you want it to steer, even at higher speed.

Final Words Overall a very value for money car in this range + has all the fancy features which you need. I mean i bought it like yesterday, cannot say this is my final verdict but the car is definately very good and fun to drive.

Everybody should consider a Ford Classic when looking for a budget Sedan with low maintenance.

Areas of improvement Certain plastic stuff inside the cabin could have been better, but thats realy trivial for the other features and price that Ford offers.
Good spacing inside, A/C, Power, additional features, musicInterior plastic can be a little bit better, am not complaining though

meet Expectation .
11 years ago | Puneet
Exterior - all good .top model should come with spoiler and colored mud flaps .

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)- looks smaller as well driver seats is uncomfortable during   long drives becouse of low thigh support.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox- engine never gives you feeling for 1400 CC engine looks like 1100 or 1200 CC engine and gear should be more refined , have experinced gear lever stuck thrice

Ride Quality & Handling good

Final Words- its has been three months I bought the car and have driven around 8000+ Kms ownership cost is affordable considering the features embedded , but god knows what it will take for maintainance , have gone for first service to VGO ford guys who themselves was saying you will have regert for buying this car, befor first service mixed city and highway drving arong 15-16  after first service 17-18 Km /Lit.  only ford can how much they tuned the car which gave a mileage as per their claim of 32 km /L. got the top speed of 160. no doubt good handling

Areas of improvement   after sales -dealer attitude

Pricedealer VGO Ford , Faridabad false promises, underpowered, nowhere gives milegae of 32L/KM,driver sma

Difficult to maintain due to heavy consumption of petrol.
10 years ago | Uttam Mitra
Exterior

Exterior is good, but could have improved making it more areodynamic.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine performance good. Fuel economy is at its worst. Very low indeed. Due to good pickup gears change quite fast.

Ride Quality & Handling

Quality of ride is okay. Still to be tested on comfort in a long journey. Handling is good.

Final Words

I dont recommend this vehicle as it will make a big hole in your pocket. With petrol costs going up at regular intervals, it will ne unaffordable to run this 1.6 Ford Classic Titanium.

Areas of improvement

The Ford company should atleast not cheat buyers by giving jacked up reports - 21.7 km per litre (petrol). A gimmick to lure gullible people. Let the company improve its image by giving ARAI data instead of some cooked up data. No car manufacturer has gone so low in luring customers.

Needs to improve in fuel milage. If fuel consumption is low, i would recommend this car.
well designed. good pickup.Very poor mileage. 9 km per litre.

Ford Classic TDCI Duratec Titanium 1.6 Chill Metallic Colour
12 years ago | Ashutosh Kane
Exterior Good looking, typical sedan look. Sturdy.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Adequate features though would have loved to have audio controls on steering wheel. Space is adequate at the rear, thankfully does not have the rear hump like Skoda Rapid and Vento. Decent boot capacity. Excellent suspension. Powerful Ac. Upholstery could have been better in the top end version. Not much choice. (Diesel) Engine clutter is quite distinct though thankfully not as much as Skoda Fabia or Vento. Very practical vehicle, ideal for family of 4 or 5. Took the car to Konkan (total 600 kms to and from Mumbai), loved driving the car, great grip on the road, very less body roll. Stable at high speeds. Space in front for both driver and passenger could have been more, even the swift is wider and more spacious.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Underpowered engine. Hence slow pick up. Company claims fuel economy at 32 kmph. I got average 20 on the Mumbai-Goa highway. Getting around 15-16 in Mumbai city.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good.

Final Words At 9.5 lakhs on road for the top end version (with dual airbags and alloy wheels), its worth considering.

Areas of improvement General ford image. Should introduce a more powerful engine.
Stylish looks, Suspension, Compact, hence easy to drive park. Stable at high speed, User friendlyFront driver/ passenger space is narrow, Underpowered, slow pick up
