Ford Fiesta Classic [2011-2012] User Reviews

Exterior Excellent.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) A little cramped at the rear.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Its underpowered, queen of plains but failure in hills.

Ride Quality & Handling Ok.

Final Words So far driven 9k Kms. A very bad experience uphill. engine goes off at hilly terrain. Looses power very easily. there is issue with suspension of the car as well.At plains no match in control comfort and drive. Car has a bad resale value probably the image it carried. After sale is also an issue. Car is excellent in looks and has no match in this segment. Interiors are facinating and quality is also good. Ford has still  to do in changing the image . I believe customer satisfaction index should go high, hve to learn from the Japanese a lot in terms of consistent R&D in improving the quality. i am not fully satisfied with the vehicle , the kind of Power i ws xpcting from the Machine, it is not delivering the same.

Areas of improvement NA.

Exterior Better than the Ford Ikon, good lookin

Interior (Features, Space & Comfor) I was using different cars for the last 15 years, from ambassador to jeep, quails, Honda fortuner etc. My last personal car was swift dizire, it is also an EXCELLANT vehicle, but this car I found more safety feeling while driving, I think if your operation is in the city, you go for Swift and if you are going regularly for long distance like me, you go for this car, Front 2 seats EXCELLANT leag room, back it is OK need more leag room, driving comfort is very good in long distance 

I used to drive long distance,  this car I found more comfort than Maruti Dezire

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  Engine performance is very good, in highways it will more economical. You need to keep in mind that you maintain a constant speed. Preferabily 2500 rpm on 5 th gear. I think the TERBO will work only after 2000 rpm

Ride Quality & Handling Very good in handling, you won't feel tird of long distance

Final Words Over all it is an excellent

Areas of improvement Indicator assembly should be like any other Indian car

Hi,

I purchased Ford Fiesta Classic CLXI 1.4 Diesel car in 2011 Aug. And in just 2 years (Aug 2013), there is  major problem with A/C evaporator /operator unit.

The car was absolutely fine till I gave it for the 4th service in Aug 2013 ( fortune Ford, Abids Service center, Hyderabad) and requested to clean the A/C filters, once it came back from service, A/C worked fine with good perfume smell, however, it slowly stopped chilling effect and finally down.

I gave the car for repairing it, and to my surprise, a car from good renowned manufacturers like Ford, has problem with the CAR A/C unit in just 2 years and it costs me to replace entire unit with no fault of mine.

I have drive car from Maruti, Hyundai before for more thatn 4 yrs and never ever had any issue with the A/C, not even a service done. But fiesta for just after 2 years, Air conditioning system is down and cannot be repaired but to have the evaporator unit get replaced.

I am really not happy with this and I request Ford Mgmt to take this up seriously. If this continues, it will become a standard that a Ford car is not reliable beyond 2 years. Just 2 year is really pathetic.

The AC evaportor/operation unit is 9K, which is even highly priced. Pls. this is India and we expect after sales life of a customer to be little happy.

Thanks.
