Hi Friends, this is a ownership review of my ford fiesta 1.6.
at first i had maruti zen LX 2001 Model, later i decided to go for a sedan my options were:
ford ikon
i preferred it because it was a famous sedan at that time. but due to lack of design and quality i decided not to go for it.
ford fiesta
i preferred it because i was also a growing famous sedan in coimbatore and it felt premium and brilliant to drive.
so our final pick was the only ford fiesta.
at first i was in a decision to go for diesel fiesta but later my sales consultant told me to go for the petrol because at that time we just drive 400 to 500km per month so that my sales consultant told me to for petrol and there was a limited edition named fida edition in that there was a color named copper rust and i loved that color. so i booked the copper rust color. that was the only color dispatched from ford plant to coimbatore so that i was lucky.
Car details:
Vehicle: Ford Fiesta
Engine: 1.6 Duratec
Color: Copper Rust Metallic
Year of Manufature: 2007
Vehicle cost:7,60,000/-
Discounts:N/A
Freebies: Fog lamp chrome surrounds, Cut mat and Reverse Parking sensors.
Best of the car:
1. 1.6 duratec is a gem of a engine
2. Good NVH levels
3. Exterior & interior design undoubtedly premium and elegant
4. A/C is a chiller
5. Highway Performance is just jaw dropping.
Negatives of the car:
1. Mileage is a vey big drawback
2. Even though the engine is eager to go for speeds but the ride is unsettled.
3. Body is really very light and feels very weak
4. Ford's after sales and service ahh very bad
5. The Hydraulic steering is very heavy inside city.
I took delivery of my car on 26/11/07 and it was a very memorable day in my life because it was the day i took my prince delivered. later had a trip for 4 hills station 1. Kodaikanal 2. Thekadi 3. Munnar 4. Kumarakam. which was really a fantastic trip. after 2 to 3 years went for a trip to bangalore at that trip only for the first i went in 120kmph that really a very interesting trip and after 4 years went in a trip to chennai at that time i went in 140kmph for the first time. recently went to goa the road was really good and then i went in 175kmph!!! which was really thrilling and after the trip i filled the tank i got 710km in distance to empty.after that no long trips now abut recently changed the A/C Condensor which costed me:7,000/- and now the A/C is back to its condition.and today wash my prince in 3M Car Care R.S Puram for the first time posting som pics.
