Ford is here to stay now.

 

Exterior:- No doubt about the look. It is a head turner. It is not an other vehicle. Exterior personifies power and speed. Doors are heavy unlike Japnies/Indian venicles. Front grill and ORVMs are fragile.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort):- Stiff suspension will definitely give a back pain while negotiating the rough path. Space is reasonable. In fact rear seat is suitable for two adults and one child. Sink is fun to use. Takes time to understand the system.

 Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox:- I have driven just 900 kms. Most of the time in the city. The Trip meter showing 13.5 avg. and is stable. I am having lot of expectations with the Ecoboost engine as the user manual says that the economy will increase after 3500kms. The support of turbo charger is marvelous. Post 1800 rpm you will feel the beast under the hood. As the RPM reaches 1800 the engine becomes more silent and vehicle moves effortlessly. I took the vehicle for a shot trip in hills. The vehicle negotiated the highest effortlessly. Very low body role. Gear box is smooth. Second gear is tall. You enjoy the turbo's wrath in between 3rd and 4th gear. I have not yet checked the mileage from tank fill to tank fill but I am confident that the claim by the company is true and will live to the expectation.

 

Ride Quality & Handling- Handling is good. In the city it is easy to drive in tight corners. Backing up and parking is easy. Backing up sensors are good and helpful.

 

Final Words:- Excellent vehicle. Nicely priced. Ecoboost engine yet to be tested in Indian conditions. After 900 km run I feel that I have chosen a good vehicle. Go for it.

 

Areas of improvement:- Suspension, Hand break interfere with passenger's safety belt hook. Space at the back seat.
