Ford 1.4 EXI Petrol- I am Fida so far

This is initial review. Will write more once i drive more.

I finished 600 kms in ford fiesta. Second time i checked i got mileage of 11.1 kms in city driving

the techniques used

a) No AC when below 40 kms drive- 40% of my journey

b) Speed of 70-80 on highway which is 30% of my journey

c) switching off the engine whenever signal is more than 30 secs.

Since the first service is long time off, i think 11 kms in city driving is decent. May increase to 12 with post service.

Why i am Fida?

1) I found Planet Ford service in Pune very good. Though they try to hoodwink you on negotiated accessories items by putting in old stock rather than new stock. But overall my experience with them was good.

2) The space inside is very good and for tall drivers like me with long legs, the adjustable steering is a boon.

3) The AC is powerful

4) No bumps and humps on the road. More sturdier on the road.

Things to improve

a) Response on mail- I checked on few points with Customer service on mail. They still have not responded.

b) Better information to Customers when giving delivery. I did make few mistakes when driving car first time of driving in top speed of 120-140 which i shouldnt have done

c) Dealer only gave fuel of Rs.200 and i took it from Pune. Dealers of others car give atleast Rs.1000 fuel for customers coming from Mumbai and locally atleast Rs.500

It is maybe my clutch handling so can not say if they need to improve but car stops when in first gear. One has to be very careful on clutch in first gear. Never faced this problem in Tata Indica which i owned and Wagon R which is my second car.

Hope people find the above review comprehensive.

Warm regards,

Jagdish
