Smart , Good Looking car for Small Urban Family

Exterior

 Very Smartly designed for a sub 4 meter.

Right balance of SUV and Urban car - A definite head turner on the road

High Ground Clerance makes is easy to handle pot holes and also easy to enter and exit for tall people

Side Pillar styling hides objects on corners while driving, be careful for 2 wheelers and pedestrians while taking a turn

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

A dashing dashboard , having a nokia kepad style center panel

MID and fuel display adequate for a sub 10 L car - cant ask for more

 Ample legroom for driver and co driver , lots of bottle storage spaces

Shoulder space and hand stretching a problem - specially if you are driving a mid size sedan like me.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 1.5 TDCI with 90 BHP is quite responsive for urban needs

FE on test drive showed 21 kmpl! which is excellent

Smooth gear shift- Thats big plus from a normal SUV's in urban traffic

Gear shift at less than 1000 RPM may get turbo lag , however above 1500 its smooth at any gear.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Excellent Ride quality - takes corners with confidence for car as heighted as this

Steering very very smooth - may not be so accurate as fiesta but i liked

Suspensions - a bit harder to most sedan so pot holes may give a bit of jerk but it also stabilises it on higher speeds - so not much to complain here.

A truely drivers car like most from Ford.

Final Words

 if you have a Family of 4 who use car for daily commuting and occasion weekending long drive , this the ideal car for you. 

Areas of improvement  

 Ford came prepared for the marketing before this delayed launch. Still they struggle with deliveries. This needs to addressed fast.

They have also lost cutomer faith with steep price increase , no protection for cutomers who booked and reducing important feathers like keyless entry from Titanium model.

Informed customers like me are now looking elsewhere!!!
