Hi guys, last week i saw the
new adv. of the new ford fiesta with the sporty looks,i called up Ford to
enquire about the car,and

if they can arrange for a TD,they said they will
confirm and call me up in sometime.After approximately 30mins i received their
call on when do I want the car for TD they can arrange it,I opted for Saturday
as my dad would also get a chance to see the car,finally on friday i again got
a call for confirming my TD and it was positive, hmmm for sure the Ford’s have
started concerning about their customers/enquiry’s now.


So Saturday after a loooooong wait finally at 12.20pm the car arrives,its a
Morello colour 1.6S Duratec,it was fully loaded,with skirts on all four
sides,the Headlights were a little changed from the previous versions,seems to
have inspired from the Civic Headlamps.


Driving Pleasure: ok i cranked the engine, the car started with almost no
noise, now here i got a little mischievous and tried revving it and after 4k
rpm the made a swrill sound and absolutely no vibration inside, I took out the
car from my compound on the road, and started driving at a decent speed, WOW
was the first impression, great driving pleasure, seating position and
steering-wheel is soo comfy to hold, I inquired the sales guy weather we can
adjust the steering he assisted me, I adjusted the steering to my comfortness
where i can see all the dials visible in front of me. From what i noticed the
car is very torquey and quick responsive, the gear shifting is butter smooth
and has a short shift feel and when you change you can feel it getting locked
in the position, now there’s nil vibration in the gear.

          

Over-all my opinion this car is very speedy
and fast, the more important factor is the FEEL you get while driving, I can
vouch for the fact that the Ford Fiesta is designed & engineered for sheer
driving pleasure, The A –pillar obstruction was an issue here too. I would
suggest you people that if you get a chance go and Test drive it.


Insight: The upholstery and plastics are of very good quality, the dash-board
feel is like soft and the material used it very nice, over-all fit and finish
is A+ no like the ikon which had full molded plastically interiors. The 1.6S
comes standard with 15inch alloys and 195/55/R15 GoodYear Tubeless tyres, there
is alot cup-holders for keeping glass/bottles. Programmable key-less entry can
be programmed into opening only the driver’s side door/ passenger doors/ all 4
doors, as you wish. Also it’s on the key itself cutting off the concept of
having an extra remote control dangling along with the key. The steering height
is adjustable, all four side power-windows, knob controlled OVRM mirror’s. This
has a petrol cap release button, unlike the ikons which were always open. The
bonnet opener is on the passenger side left-bottom, the car is power-packed
with good features, this was the overall experience with the car, anything I
could remember more i will post it in the thread, I hope this solves many of
the queries posted. Would like to thanks Ford for sending the car and giving me
an opportunity to have a look at their product at prompt service, I am
definitely looking forward to own this car especially the 1.6S model, its
sporty, sexy and fast, and colors options are nice, have a great day.
