Greenery all-round

Awesome greenery! What is the odo now (47K kms)? How did the A/c perform in the summers (sorry for the late question)? 50K service is a big thing in Ford, isn't it?

Sorry for the late reply was busy,my whitee is nearing 50 K on odo, regarding the AC it performed well in Summers,more so because in the peak of summer,in the month of May my self and my better half undertook 3800 km round trip through AP _ TS_OD States where the outside temperature reached 45 degrees Centigrade and we had the AC throughout . will be getting the 50k service done in the month of September, tommorow will be on a short trip of 300kms in the district of Chitradurga and bellary will try to update

No. When I gave my Fiesta for the 50K service, I hardly got a bill of around Rs.5000. Its really cheap to maintain if its serviced on the specified intervals. I usually service my Fiesta every 9000 KMS.

50K service is normal in Ford. But 60K service will surely make some damage to wallet in FASS.

Completed 12 hour drive of 380 kms yesterday,the roads varied from excellent highway road to village katchha road,visied this famous kottur temple in kodalagi taluk bellary district and molkalmuru in Chitradurga known for manufacture of sarees,as usual it was fun to drive and I enjoyed it

UPDATE
60000 kms service done at merto ford dharwad .The service cost came at 6285 rupees
no complaints about the car

Odometer reading today, reached this milestone after very satisfactory ownership of three years and ten months.
My Whitee aka Fiesta has no niggles or rattles till date and feels rock solid and fun to drive that's what Ford cars are meant for. Sadly this was the last Ford car manufactured by Ford India which is fun to drive but not comprising on build quality at the same time
This is a rarity on Indian Roads and people glance back confused at not knowing the model because of its short span of production and in limited numbers.

Reviving this old thread after a long time
My whitee aka Ford Fiesta has now traversed 88000 kms after 6 years . Still going strong,no rattle ,serviced by Metro Ford.After the exit of Ford from India was worried about servicing, but after enquiry found out replacement of parts may take time but procurement will be not a problem. Will keeping it as long as possible since replacement of a better vehicle having similar driving dynamics not at all visible in the automotive scene.

Great to see it is taken care so well. I was 90% done with my booking, then heard from friend at Ford showroom that the model is gonna be discontinued, hence had backed off, else Global Fiesta Trend was my best choice (Difference between Trend and Titanium was very less). This is one ride which has proper steering calibration in spite of being EPS (EPAS is what Ford calls i think)

 

[GVC1967]

Reviving an old thread ,my Whitee has crossed one lakh kilometers, still on original clutch, battery changed to Amaron,timing belt changed early.As usual excellent service by Metro Ford Davengere. No rattles .Completed 7 years. Continue to enjoy the car. There is no replacement for this car on the horizon that too a diesel.....

The odometer reading now is 103455,I had changed at 32475km on 26th December 2017,(post 60)and the tyres have clocked over 70k kilometers, the tyres have some tread left and are above the minimum limit, should I change now or after another 5k km,by the way there is no tyre noise and they still run silent.

 

[VISHNUCARCRAZY]

I would suggest to change, as now the tyres are quite prone to quick punctures.
