My new Beast after 3000 km.

Done 3000 km in my new ford freestyle. It is an excellent value for money car. It is just like a car but is useful like an SUV. The handling and driving dynamics are excellent. You can drive it anyway you want. Coming to features, freestyle is the only car which is feature-rich in this price range. Suspension is not so stiff but not so soft. It will absorb all the potholes while giving a dynamic driving experience. Pros : 1. Nice and powerful 3 cylinder engine, which is good in power and FE. 2. Handling and driving dynamics 3. Features like 6 airbags, ESP, Auto HL, Rain sensing wipers, Auto AC, Touch screen with android auto and apple car play, voice command, etc... 4. Ground clearance and off road ability 5. Suspension 6. After Sale Service Cons : 1. Boot space is less compared to the competitions. But it is not an issue for me 2. Interior colour is full black and reading lamp is not there in rear side. So it is difficult to find things inside at night. 3. The power of headlamp is just ok and not so bright 4. Poor quality of rear parcel tray. 5. Spare wheel is of 14 inch steel which is having a speed rating of 80 kmh. Even in steel they might have given 15 inch wheel instead of 14. Final words A close competitor for freestyle is elite i20. But for this much features u have to give 1 lacs more for i20. More over the petrol engine in i20 is feeble even though it is a refined and smooth 4 cylinder motor. If you prefer fit and finish over drivability and you have 1 lac more to spend then go for i20. Otherwise go for freeatyle.
