The Ford Fiesta is a great looking car, especially with the new chrome festooned grille. And in the traditional Ford blue, it looks even better combined with the five spoke 15-inch wheels. But the Fiesta has always been known for one trait in particular. They way it handles. And of course, this one is no different. Although we haven’t had the chance to really put it through its paces on a racetrack, the Fiesta does seem to put a smile on my face every time we take it near a twisty road. What does disappoint us though is the lack of overall power in the 1.5-litre diesel mill. The Fiesta does get going eventually and can easily cruise the highways at triple digit speeds all day but just doesn’t feel as comfortable as some of the other cars in its segment.Now for some positives, the Ford Fiesta has some of the best seats in the sub Rs 10 lakh segment. Not only are they well contoured and snug, if it wasn’t for the beige seat upholstery, they could be easily confused with a set of Recaro or Sparco race seats. Ford should also consider equipping the Fiesta with a leather interior option, especially on the top of the line version.
