Superb Car Sold My city Bought a Fiesta 1.4 exi petrol.

hi guys finally i sold my city and bought a fiesta(you must have read my review in city section on 31st march 2008). Believe me there is a lot of difference between the two cars. i drove my city for 1 year and in that 1 year i went 8 times to hills for work and many times on highway. everytime i was scared and felt as if a am riding a flimsy long box of tin which has comfortable sofas for people sitting behind. I was never comfortable with the city and that is why i sold it in 11 months. I took my new fiesta on the hills after 1 week of purchase and it is a much more stable car both on highways and hills. I felt a lot safer and for me that is the first priority. Last year when i bought my city i had test driven the fiesta and at that time too i had loved the car but went for city just bcoz of the resale hype. honestly speaking that was not a gr8 decision. this time also i was told that go for Sx4 It has resale, a maruti product etc etc. I tried the car found it better than city but nowhere near fiesta. Actually this year i was prepared to listen to my heart as last year i listened to my mind and wasted money and peace on a city.I think i have made a right choice this time rest time will tell. My honest suggestion to everyone is if your need is just to go around from one locality to other in a city like delhi you can go for a city otherwise plz dont go for it and become fooled like me. If you are a real honda fan shell out more money and buy a civic. In C segment according to me fiesta is best, Sx4 is next to it.

One more thing i want to point out dont compare city with fiesta diesel. Compare cars of one type of fuel. comparisons should be:

City (77 bhp) Vs Fiesta Exi 1.4(82 bhp)(5 bhp more than city exi,  gxi )best buy acc to me is fiesta 1.4. It is giving  almost same mileage as city. Running , pickup and handling is much better than city and it is a lakh cheaper. you can get accessories from outside the side beams get painted just for Rs 2000. City's 1500cc engine is of no use if it is giving only 77 bhp. 1.5 just looks good on paper otherwise it is useless.1.4 L with 82 bhp is more than sufficient for me and for most of the drivers on road. Not many are racers. Racers can go for 1.6. My friend guided me to go for 1.4 and i realised that mileage is not an issue with 1.4 petrol actually it also has a record of 22 and if it gives me  65% of the record then its fine.

If you are taking fiesta 1.6 into comparison then city vtec should be compared with it.

Honda doesnt have any competitor with fiesta diesel.

The fiesta 1.4 petrol(not diesel) has really impressed me and i hope this review helps those who get fooled by others talks as i was fooled last year.Just use yor brain and compare every feature of all the cars.

GOOD LUCK

I am loving this car. You can just buy it for its gear box.Rear leg room slightly less than city (not much).
