Its now 4 months since I purchased the vehicle from Elite Ford Bangalore.
Driven around 1700 Kms. So thought its good time to write a review of what I feel about the vehicle.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The car is quite spacious and have got sufficient boot space. This was one of my criteria while selecting the vehicle. I heard from few people that seats are not that comfortable but so far I haven't felt anything negetive about the comfortness of the seats. A/c is quite good and I like the music system too.
The interior do not enough pockets to keep your magazines/imp files etc if you do not want to leave them on your seats.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I can feel a slight turbo lag.
Fuel economy I am getting is around 16.5 km/L with A/C on 90% of time.
Only thing that disappointed me is the gear shift. Intially shift down to 1st gear was too stiff and on 2nd gear at 10km/hr I was getting jerks. But this was sorted out during first service. But still I don't feel that smooth gear shift from 2nd to 3rd and shifting down of the same.
Ride Quality & Handling Have driven on highway and reached around 130Km/hr and the car is very stable. Also I never felt any body roll while taking sharp turns.
As mentioned by numerous buyer I too feel the ground clearance should be improved. When fully loaded you have full chance of hitting uneven bumpers on Indian roads. Suspension is overall satisfactory.
Areas of improvement Headlights should be more powerful.
Space, good fuel economy, music system, Aircongear shift not very smooth 2nd to 3rd and downshift stiff, headlight should be more powerful
