फ़ोर्ड फ़िस्‍टा क्लासिक [2011-2012] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior

Looks are just OK.

Not an ugly car.

Modifications needed to make it stand out. (Alloys/ fat rubber/ HID lights etc..)

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Comfortable for 4 adults only. Ride is definitly smooth.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Performance is OK. Fuel echonomy is very good if you keep ur self below 120 in highways. If your average speed is between 120 - 150 milage can come down to 13-16 in highways. My poit is that the car is very stable and stress free to keep it running @ 150kmpl entire day. But you will definitly have to compromise on the fuel consumption too on such cases. Gear ration is extremly good. But in city you will find yourself hard to even touch the 3rd gear in the TDCi engines.

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride quality and Handeling is a gem.

Suspensions are good and stable for cornering at high speeds.Trust me, they dont scare you at all.

Rear Shock absorbers are not very reliable. Will need change every 20K kms. But they are not costly. Only Rs. 1200/pair.

Final Words

I have been using a Fiesta 1.4 TDCi (Diesel) since February 2010. I have done around 182K kms till date. My use is normally on the highways as an average of 3500kms per month. I have never faced any issues till the car crossed 100k. Apart from brake pads / rear shock absorbers etc...

Areas of improvement  

 More room in cabin, seats, smoother steering, etc....

 

Stability, reliability, milage,Service, Spares cost, Cabin space is comfortable for 4 only.

 I have purchased Fiesta 1.6 petrol after reviewing honda city verna and Aveo. Now it has done 250 kms. I have observed that the handling and pickup are very good and the fuel consumption is also seems so far excellent. However the concern is on the service part which other users have written in their observations. Accessories are expensive ( like the side body beadings the dealer quoted RS. 5000 for a set !)

 Ford does not maintain the quality in fit and finishing . the roof packing are not sealed at the ends which the dealer has told that for ford vehicles it is like that.  

over all the performance of the vehicle is good

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.

Good car to driveHigly priced servicing, maintenance is costly. repairs in just 2 years, not enough space inside

Exterior

not bad to look at, could use slightly larger wheels to fill out the wheel arches

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

features are good, space is alittle poor. the seating is very comfortable and driving possition is spot on. all controlls are well within reach and easy to use.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

the 1.4 is alittle underpowered but a very smooth engine, geadbox is very precise and lovely to shift, however it could use a 6th gear for crusing. the fuel economy is fabulous.

Ride Quality & Handling

the ride is very good, handles very well too, you can put it around hard corners fast and it goes where you want it to. you can go over bad roads at 80-100km/h and she takes it beautifully. she is a true stalion

Final Words

great car shame about the service. love it, it has been a great buy for me

Areas of improvement  

serive. service. service, Put a bigger engine under the hood, Offer a better music system with an ipod.

Love to drive it,ford service is by far the worst. if there is one reson to buy this car it is the service by ford

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) There is a manufacturing defect in Ford Fiesta. While we do not use the AC and just use the normal fan it gives the hot air even the cooling mode is on COOL side (i.e. on blue side). It has been discussed several time even with the company also and they are also helpless. Both the company as well dealer gives either no reply or giving excuse they will revert shortly. Further shocking matter is that as per company as well as Dealer it is with all other cars also which is completely wrong.

How can they cheat the customer by giving such a defective product. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is very noisy.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is not as par the other cars of the same catagory. The shockers are not effectice and generally on bumpy road it is completely ineffective.

 

Final Words The company,s customer response or customer satisfaction is very very poor.

My father bought this car in 2012 we purchased the 1.4 CLXI diesel variant as it had better torque and mileage when compared to the 1.6 petrol. If you find one in the second-hand market to this day, I would surely recommend you to get it. Talking about the service of the car, it wasn't much of a hassle to maintain it. We have driven the car for 1.43 lakh km in 12 years. The performance is decent, although the power could have been better, it still has great handling. Overall the car has given a great service in these 12 years.

You don't want to buy this car. It is a not Fida but an ALVIDA CAR for you. I bought it in april 06 & till now have spent approx. a lac of rs. & counting.

The car has a problem of showing the yellow light & then the accelaration goes. Think of you being stuck in wee hours in such situation. I got stuck several times. It is very unrealiable vehicle.

After sales is pathetic south city ford at Delhi/Noida have unskilled workers who have manhandled my car & now they can rectfy it.

Moreoever they will say that they that they have changed a particular part but in reality it was ever changed.

I am fed up with the car.

 

Only advertisements with abhishek to fool peoplebad engine, sub-standard parts very high maintanence

Go Fida is the tag line. It means that you dont hold back. You dont have backup plans. You pour heart out and live life KING size.

For such people, Ford has given a performance car (1.6 S) in the truest sense. Unlike other manufactures who give you a silly spolier and alloys to call the version SPORT. Ford has gone the performance way by giving a remapped ECU, a better steering rack and stiffer suspension.

Numbers make no sense, if cant relate to the car..if you cant feel what you drive..if you dont have the confidence to push the car when you approach a corner...You will have to experience it ..with a haart ..a feel the harmones gushing in you..

FORD FIESTA -- Go Fida.. ALL in !!!!

Performance and handlingFuel efficiency

Driving my fiesta Since Nov. 2009, I started my affair with fiesta from Himalayan Roads and was amzed with the driveability, it was like i knew where all the tyers touching the ground exactly. then very next month Delhi to Ahmedabad in 14 hours touching Around 180 Km/Hr and no issues, I was impressed soo much, earlier  i was driving Hyndai Ascent GLE and was never able to cross 160 Mark.

the only thing that there is a less rear legroom, but who cares as I'm always on the Driver seat. Fuel Economy on Petrol is not so good but again I'm not a driver who cares about that, till date no issue with the car apart from minor glitches.

Only car that has overtaken me against my will on highway is AudiQ7, a lovely car,

but ford service is somewhat kind of check whatever is asked, no extra effort, they never check car completely during service, only routine things are done, Like a faulty bulb will always be changed but a noise making belt will not be tightened if not reminded,

Handling, Do anything attitudeRear LAG space
