I tested almost all brands sub 10lakh re & bought freestyle titanium plus Diesel on 15Aug 18....it's best car & matches almost all basic expectations...Buying experience is good(little delayed delivery)... Very NICE pick up(Diesel is much higher than petrol), smooth drive (No noise at all if you close Windows), No lag (except little lag in 2nd gear as compared to 3rd gear....but still better than other brands)....AC too good, Music system very nice. I had driven 5000 + km with average of 20.5km/ lit with a.c. music on throughout drive( city 16 to 20km...highways 24 to 27km )
Pros Everything is good except rear headrest not adjustable & No Autodrive & no projector headlamps.... & rear boot tray was poor quality broken angles... ford assured me to replace it)
Cons Nothing is bad...
Only I don't know maintainance cost will see after 1 yr.
Up till now I should say best to own it with all safety features bet 8—10 lakh budget...as compare to available options....
Don't miss last chance to buy diesel engine till March 2019.
