Great Value for Money. Excellent service though there are few issues

Exterior Looks new age and will not look outdated atleast for a few years, unlime the duster which already looks dated.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Like the simple interiors though a lot can change but then at this price point, you really cannot expect more. I have the TDI optional and i love what i got for my buck.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have driven the vehicle for 6000Kms so far and i love the mileage of 17Km/L i am getting. I am sure it will get better after 2nd service. Gearbox is just fine and engine performace has not given me any cause of concern yet. I had a Honda city before this for 7 yrs and while the performance, handling etc of Honda is far better, i cannot complain since eco has 16 inch wheels, a diesel engine and is taller. Hence i cannot compare the 2.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is fine although like i said above, my reference for comparison is Honda city which i had prior to this buy and that can be an unfair comparison. Honda was more grounded and had more grip on the road. that was obviously due to its low height and comparitively smaller tyres. I dont feel the same in eco but i expected that due to its larger types and taller design. i love the feel of the car and it truely is an urban SUV. i see a lot of complains about interior space or plastics quality etc. WHat i dont understand is whether these people bought the car without test drive and didnt see these aspects before buying. The plastics, upholstery etc is just fine in the optional version and believe it or not, it is value for money.

Final Words The car delivers on what it promises. Keep in mind, you get much more that what you spent. A lot depends on yr drive and how you maintain yr car. There are a few areas of improvement which i have mentioned below but such small issues are expected of any new design launch. This is my first diesel car purchase. Would i buy another diesel car - No, but thats just my preference of petrol cars over diesel, now that i have experienced both. But eco is definately a great diesel buy. Barely any noise inside and great mileage and performance.

Areas of improvement One area of improvement is the noise from the boot lock and other rattling noise within the car. mind you, I am not a rash driver and treat this car very well. Mine is totally a city drive and i slow down considerably on bad roads. still there is noise from doors etc. The boot noise has been there from start and Ford service center took notice and changed the lock twice. it works for a few days and then the noise comes back. Harpreet ford has provided a very professional service support every time and even though this issue has persisted, they have time and again tried to resolve. I will be discussing this issue with tme again during 2nd service and hopefully, they will be able to find a n acceptable solution.
