Review after completing 40000 Kms in 1.5 years

I bought the Fiesta ZXI (Diesel)  in Oct 2006 and I feel the car is awesome. Maneuverability is too good and thats a huge advantage  in cities as you would have to make sharp turns at times. But even at high speeds taking curves seems so easy.

The mileage is also terrific. Even in a city like bangalore I get an average of 15 to 16 Kms per litre. That helps me save atleast Rs. 3000 per month on fuel (comparing the esteem i used to have before i bought this car).

When it comes to maintenance I feel its a little higher than hyundai. But service is good and on time. Expect to shell atleast Rs.1000/- whenever you go for a service. And if its the service at 30000 kms then they will ask to change the oil filter and other stuff and will cost around Rs.3000/-.

The biggest problem though is the ground clearance. I have lost count of the number of times I have banged the bottom. Its annoying!




Exceptional fuel economy, wonderful maneuverability and stability, High Torque and accelerates well.Bad ground clearance
