I bought Ford Aspire trends ()petrol) back in 2015. Wanted to buy something that is not suzuki but value for money like suzuki and in less price i got loads of features with dual airbags.
To this day the ride quality put a smile on my face.
Look wise i think I don't have to say .....love it...... its a smartest, elegant, compact yet spacious, always get compliment from friends.
servicing and maintenance (whether doing minimal by self) is fine. But ford can talk to their dealers to do better with customer service also make available certain parts locally like air filters etc.
PROS: Safety, style, comfort, space, features.
CONS: (As per Petrol) Fix fuel odor problem, Better gas mileage and pickup. .
