Very happy with Diesel

Exterior

    Ford has done a good job with this car. Overall it looks very nice. Though many cars have being lauched in this segment after ecosport, it still looks stylish and contemporary. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interior is just fine, has enough pockets holders etc. They should give option of factory fitted seat covers in lower models also.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Diesel engine is fantastic, I get about 18kmpl in reasoble city traffic with AC. It can go upto 20 as well or drop to 16 in case of bumper to bumper. Their is enough juice in the engine for a car of this weight (it weights 30% more than other cars, about 1300kg unladen weight). However, gear ratios are not very suited for bumper to bumper and you need to constantly work the clutch. Well that also depends on driving style, I dont like to drive with half-clutch.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is stiff when car is going slow (below 20kmhr), also car does not like speed breakers and tends to jump. However, it really handles potholes really well. I used to drive a verna earlier and this is such a bliss compared to that.

Final Words

 A good package overall. Ford should work on providing more accessories. I also find gear stick to be a bit stiff as well.

Areas of improvement  

 Lots of ford accessories that are available in US are not being provided with the car.
