3.0 Exterior | 3.0 Comfort | 4.0 Performance |
4.0 Fuel Economy | 2.0 Value for Money |
Exterior
The car looks very sporty. In styling its way ahead of competition like vento,Verna & Manza and well comparable to LINEA.
The Risky feature is (many other car makers are also not bothering) Front Indicator placed between front Grill & headlamps is NOT visible with headlamps On, in Fog, rain etc. It should be on side curve (like LINEA, Dzire, Manza)
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Dash board, instrument cluster give fresh feel. Front seats are very comfortable. A lot should have been done for rear seat. Rear seat of even a B segment hatch like VISTA is much more spacious than New Fiesta
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Only DIESEL engine is worth looking. Ford Petrol are big drinkers. Though slightly bigger in size, Diesel engine pumps out same power as LINEA & Manza. Expect the performance same like other FIAT 1.3 MJD run cars like Dzire, LINEA, Manza etc. Gear looks tight, not as smooth as LINEA, Dzire or vento.....more like Manza
Ride Quality & Handling
handling is good, like LINEA given its tyre profile is also same as Linea. front seats ride is enjoying, rear not suited to long journeys
Final Words
Ford should trim down prices to below Rs.8 lakhs may be for less featured versions
Areas of improvement
Rear seat needs to be more confortable. Please change the location of front indicators. They are not visible specially with headlamps in High beam
Fresh Interior, Sporty Exteriorfront Indicator not visible, Very Costly & Rear Space too less
