I tried to give 4 star above in some section, but could'nt... 7500 Kms report...Value for Money Car.

Exterior Ok Design is an individual choice. but this is what mattered to me. A simple but interestign design.. should look like a Sedan. give a feel of sedan. I think the headlight and the overall front look is just great. I love it everytime I see it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are not as modern like its rivals.. but they do their job very well. I can control volume of music system with my hands on gear knob. lot of space to keep small small things like ipod, mobile, etc etc. Some people might not like the rear space.. but normal sized indians its more than enough.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel Economy, I have read at so many places today, that Ford is trying to mislead its customers. Here you listen from a Customer himself. If you drive at a speed of 50-60 kms on a straight road. without breaking. without any steering. I can assure you will get 30+ mileage. I mean it. Dont expect it to give 32 in city. thats under standard testing conditions. but yes I am not surprised by 32 figure because my fiesta classic is surely capable of giving 30 plus mileage. I get 16-17 in city regularly. that too in traffic it takes 45 mins for me to reach office for a distance of 8 kms. so you can guess the traffic, in these conditions I get 15-16 easily.. always with AC.

Performance is good, althought it is 68 BHP, it does not looks like one.. its pretty good in pick up and power. No complaints here.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride one you will come to know what Classic is all about, its the best drivers car in this segment. for 8 lakhs. I dont think you should ask for more. so easy to park, so good on U turns. Will give a many hatchbacks in India a run for its money... will beat them hands down.

Final Words I am pretty satisfied with this car, I just finished 7500 kms in 6 months, and I have loved every minute of my car. Its fabulous.

Not sure about Phasing out, but I think if u are considering this car, check that out... even if it phases out, I am sure parts will be available easily because there are so many of them on the road, moreover, this is 1.4 TDCI engine, which is here to stay. However, I just plan to keep this car for 3 yrs. and then sell it off.

So people say why I bought Fiesta, below are the reasons

- For 8 lakhs on road, I dont think I get all this in a package, options that i had were - ETIOS, Manza, Swift Dzire, below is my explanation for each.

ETIOS - Looks small for a sedan, Interiors not at par with Classic

Manza - I dont like its design, again this is personal choice.

Swift Dzire - No Comments :) Better I should keep quiet.

Niggles and glitches - None, there was some minor sound in the rear shock absorber... but that was corrected in 2nd free service, It seems like some sand particles have collected in the bush of Shock absorber. Mechanic said that its normal not a problem, I too agreed as he showed me the sand, he lubricated that area it was good to go... no probs after that.

Service and showroom experience - way way ahead of marutis and hyundai's and tata's....

Areas of improvement Its perfect for the price, however, little more space in the rear would be great. Sunroof would be good.

Fuel Economy, Design, Sedan Feelings, Pricing, Handling, Music SystemNothing - I mean it.. !!! believe me....
