    DRIVING:
    After finding so much review about other cars i decided to share some of my experience,it may help others.My car came out of showroom with 14"ALLOY(ford)fitted with 185/60 GOODYEAR alongwith Ford's STABILITY IN HIGH SPEED CORNERING.It had returned me the benefit saving my family FROM SURE ACCIDENTS.I usually drive at 110kmph streching to 140+ depending on road condition.I must thank it's RESPONSIVE STEERING.However racently I was driving an INDIGO CS and when asked by TATA DEALER to compare mine with them I answered Indigo is like soft cute young lady while JOSH is like a masculine fighter. So FORD's steering clutch brake etc. are not that free.But again amazingly in my small crowded town i have never felt that I am with a sedan.Even for me it is easy to drive than my colleague's ALTO. With 14' wheel i don't have problem in touching ground or bumps. CONS:High ROAD NOISE even after I switched to 170/65 R13 1 year back.ONCE I DISCOVERED REAR WHEEL BEARING NOISE WHEN I WAS AT DEALER POINT WHO REFUSED TO REPLACE IT AS I WAS HAVING NO PRE APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE,NEITHER THEY SOLD ME THE SPARE BEARING WHICH I COULD HAVE FITTED AT MY HOME TOWN.SO ULTIMATELY I TOOK 1 DAY LEAVE FROM OFFICE SPEND 15LTRS PETROL TO GET IT DONE(THEY SAY IT IS FORD POLICY NOT TO SELL SPARES).So for people who stay far away from dealer point should not go for any FORD vehicle.I also share the same crisis with all my colleagues in L.I.C.of India where I am an employee.However it is a good car more lucrative after price has gone down below 5 lakhs.AND IS THE SAME 1.3 NOW SOLD BY FORD.For 1 yr I was maintaining a dairy for fuel,hgway-13,twn-9,mix-11.6 with AC with wider tyres ofcoursInterior getup : I have always felt poor when I see my colleagues 1.8 ZXI
