Compared to Ford fiesta (diesel) this car is real value for the money

I purchased my DLX 1.5 dci from Naik Motors, Chiplun branch, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra on 31.01.2008. till now I drove @ 6500 kms. First I took my car to Mangalore. While returning we were not allowed to enter Goa due to some agitation regarding the highway problems. We took a divertion towards Ramanagar from Karwar. Very bad ghat road, it took 3:00 hrs to cover@ 70 kms, later we reached Belgaum. From Belgaum to Kolhapur we travelled with pleasure on the National Highway. We travelled at @ 140 Kms speed continuously upto Kolhapur. We never tried to increase the speed even though pedal power was available.This was a performance gaurantee test of the car. However I faced some minor problems like central locking & A.C switch mal function etc., these problems are solved yesterday at Naik Motors, Rathnagiri during the seccond service. Finally a good car with value for money tag. Good fuel economy, comfortable, white colour is the best out of all coloursinitially low pickup in seccond gear, A.C is just OK
