Ford Fiesta [2011-2014] User Reviews

Exterior It's a very good looking car from all angles except from the back due to bulging rear

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good features like voice control and leather seats. Front seats provide excellent grip but rear seat not so comfortable. Rear arm rest is placed to high

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very smooth and powerfull engine. power delivery is very linear throughout . It's a perfect match between performance and fuel economy. Dual clutch auto box ( powershift in Ford terminology) is excellent and first in class which actually triggered me to purchase this beautiful car. Put the lever in ' L' mode and the car suddenly starts roaring and gives that pleasent firing note like sports car . No car in this segment will this sweet firing of sports car. I got fuel economy of 19.5 km/l on highway when driven moderately @90-100 kmph. If you cross the redline too often then be ready for 12-14 km/l on highways which I feel is too good for a Auto box car of this class. City avg is 10 -12 km/l.

Ride Quality & Handling Simply superb at high speeds. Slightly unsettled ride at low speed but much better than Verna or Honda City. Only Fiat Linea can beat this car for ride quality. Handling is simply superb ( typical ford) with very less under steer. Fun to drive on twisty cuvy roads. Steering feedback is very good. Once again much superior than Vento / City / Verna.

Final Words If driving pleasure is the criteria this car is the best!!! It's pitty this car isn't selling much, but believe me, it's not costly 9 as many reviews show) it's value for money!!!

Areas of improvement Rear styling and space. No engine guard at the bottom.
