Ford Fiesta Classic [2011-2012] User Reviews

Hi guys,
i have been researching about midsegment diesel  cars . Ford  fiesta  got very good engine , good interiors and very good milage(diesel). But more than 850000 for zxi model is not good value for money. Legroom at rear is not very good which is important point. After sales service is neither prompt nor polite. Spare parts will cost you a fortune. Compare to fiesta i would prefer anyone to go for VGT Verna, very good car with good leg room, good engine that is well refined, features like ABS, matching fuel economy with fiesta and most important thing is best after sales service like Maruti with less expensive spares. So just paying 30000 more you can get ABS and more powerful car with same milage along with good service.

fuel economy, handling, looks and performanceless spacious, not good value for money and bad after sales service with expensive spares

For the money which we spent, I don't think really it's worth to us. Because the deck which they provided is a CD player (6 CD changer), we thought that we will be getting a MP3 player. Milage which we are getting is hardly 12 km/ltr in city and we are getting the milage around 13.5 km/ltr in highway. In order to repair the deck they are taking 1 month ,which is really painful.Fuel economy is not as expectedLess leg space in the rear

Car is a Driver's Car, dont feel like putting your leg up from the 'A'pedal. Could have given more features for that price, like Sun roof,side mirror automatically folding, better alloys ( the one given seems like wheel caps ), no mp3 player,only CD's are playabel, one suprising thing to note is that they give you 2 keys but only one has features of keyless entry !?!. Leg room at the rear is cramp and over space at the rear is not comfy( shoulder space). Ford has come out with a great car to drive but for the price,space and some value for money thing is lacking. Rest you wana a driver car then go Fidaa!!Looks good, Decent Features, Fuel Milage good,Less Spacious at the rear,could have given some more features for the price

this car doesnot has enogh space, it does not provides enough interiors as per the cost, service is very expensive, the lid of the boot is very light, not good quality paint(a small stone striking puts a huge dent),the ford people give u a fucking cd player(u got to change it and get an mp3),not even a clock certifies bull shit and nothing else.

apart from all these cons it has great pick up, sexy style,comfortable to drive, the wipers are fantastic, great head lights(accurate focus,lovely design,clear visibility),very economical(but does not give u 31 km/l as they show),even at speeds above 140 it really works absolutley fine, makes very less noice, u have lights every where in the car,seats are comfortable, lengthy drives would not make u tired.
GREAT PICK UP,STYLISH FRONT,ECONOMICAL,COMFORTABLE,GOOD QUALITY DOORS(REALLY HEAVY),SEXY LOOKSLESS SPACIOUS,NO MP3 PLAYER,NOT EVEN A WATCH SUCKS,FUEL LID CONTROL WITH THE DOOR CONTROLS SUCKS TOO

I purchased my 1.4 ZXi petrol Fiesta on 12th August 2007. Till now,  I have covered 3000 kms and thought it to be a good time to write my 1st review. 

First of all, my sincere thanks to the dealer 'South City Ford' Mathura Road for their cooperation and helpful attitude.

The car has a great steering response and great manouvering capabilities at high speeds. The pickup is excellent at 3rd and even 4th gear but there is a big let down at top gear, the rpm increase is proportinately less too. I will ask the technicians to do some fine tuning in this regard in my next servicing.

 The AC is too good and comfort level is also pretty high as compared to other cars in this segment, but still can't match with the ergonomics of City especially in the rear seats.The boot space is also good but lesser than SX4, Verna & Logan.

The ground clearance may be better than City's but a little more would have been great. The bonnet opening switch at the other end of the driver's seat is also not a nice thing.

The turning radius is again great, one of the best in this segment undoubtedly.

There have been a lot of complaints about the expensive parts and servicing costs of Ford India. I am yet to encounter that...but there is definitely a lot of truth in them. One more thing I like is the dashboard but the DTE meter may not be accurate one.

I have driven this car a lot on highways...one word for drivers here...please shift a gear or two back while overtaking. It is pretty poor in this at top gear. I have felt some vibration above 120 km/ hr speed. Can't conclude just at this stage, will ask the technicians for some fine tuning.

The car has great road grip but one very interesting thing is, on bad roads, I mean, on badly finished turf, there is a considerable amount of cabin noise.

The car has a great cornering ability at high speeds, I have tested this quite a few times. Though the brakes are good, I expected them to be a little more accurate and responsive at high speeds

Lastly, talking about mileage..I haven't got anything more than 11.5km/ litre on highway and for city conditions it is only 10.5km/ litre at this stage. I can't say, how much this can go up with higher kilometres run and subsequent servicings but this figure is not what the delaers commit.

I have tried to be as honest and unbiased as possible and hope it is useful to the readers and prospective Fiesta buyers. I will write more after I cover a total of 5000kms. \

Cheers

Style, looks, manouvering, turning radius, seating comfort, engine, steeringPower at top gear, ground clearance, leg space at rear

Great offering from Ford. The best fuel economy in the segment. Easily delivers 13-14 kmpl in city and 18-19 kmpl on highways. Engine is much refined, transmission is very smooth. Seats are very comfortable, longer drives are fun. Extra smooth suspensions are a plus but become curse on very bad roads if you are 4-5 people inside. Car seems to touch the road on higher speed-breakers. Some extra ground-clearance could do wonders. Enough goodies are there but I miss Alloys in it. Infact, Ford should have launched SXi version of diesel Fiesta too. I admire their ABS offering in all the versions. Airbags could be added for extra safety.Great fuel economy, good comfort, available goodiesexpensive maintenance, less ground clearance

It has the style to go fida. It has the looks of a big car like mercedes from back, and scoda from the front. Overall design is excellent and so are the interiors. For this price you dont have any better model to compare. Honda and Chov is easily 20 to 30% more in cost than ford. Problem comes with the fuel efficiency and if you are fine with 10 km then go for it and dont fall for 12 or 13 which anyone says as i drive very safely and dont go for pickup rides and all i get is 9 to 10 max.If you are looking for pickup, this is the car. It just fly's. Looks wise the head lamps are best.Not fuel effcient and gives just 9 to 10 km pl. Ground clearance is decent but not enough.

I purchased Fiesta 1.6 ZXi (Petrol)in March 06.Lot of Persons say about fuel efficiency but in my view much depends on how you drive. This model of fiesta is giving me 15 KM/L.I have driven it on hills plain and all with AC on. Car is great ( best )in looks from front , pickup, highly responsive engine andyou need not change gears frequently to overtake on highway, easily touched 160 kmph speed in no time that too in small stretch. Only drawback is a bit less ground clearence ( though still more than Honda City) . Maintenance cost is yet to be seen. Still this is the car I would recommend for others to buy as it is giving lot of features at very competitive price.Highly responsive engine, Peppy pickup, Best Style and looks from front in the class, Rich featuresGround clearance less.

 

Great head lamps and tail light and excellent side skirt😎, Talking about interiors... Out of this world its interiors are like creamy biscuits, the seats are so soft that it feels like want to sleep on seat for a whole day, the plastic used in the car is awsum and good quality plastic, the black and cream combination is out of this world😊.

Great engine performance especially pikup is just awsum,fuel economy is good, gearshifte like water from tap to bucket . to reach at speed of 100 it only takes 10 sec can u believe it but its is true. Ride quality is very smooth it doesnt make any noise at speed of 160km/hr, handling is superb fiesta turns like water. its turing radius is perfect.

gggggggooooooooooo ffffffffffiiiiiiiiiiiddddaaaaaaaa............

It is the best car in its class (from 6to 9 laks)😉, Nothing to be improoved😗.

So make up ur mind to buy ford fiesta and gooo fida... Its not too late.

 

Everything is good no doubtNone
