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.
