5.0 Exterior | 4.0 Comfort | 5.0 Performance |
4.0 Fuel Economy | 2.0 Value for Money |
Exterior
very well crafted kinetic design, spacings between openings can be designed little smarter with the addition of rubber linings and the like. Boot design should be little more down-lined to increase the rear visibility issues.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
everything is better than comprable models except rear leg room. Comfort is good for the driver and front passenger but not so well for the rear passengers. Independent suspensions are a good improvement.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Nothing to complain, really. All good in this section for a 1.5L engine although the fuel economy is not what Ford claims (based on ARAI). In reality, the fuel economy in the City is not leading in its class.
Ride Quality & Handling
very good and comprable to rest of the competition in the similar entry-level sedan range.
Final Words
Only disappointment is pricing. If Ford priced it little more competitive to the other makes in the same segment, it would have been the top choice.
