I used to drive a ’98 Zen and when the time for replacing it with a newer car came I was looking at hatchbacks-looked at the Swift,Getz & Chevy UV-A(also the Honda City) and then decided to check
out the Ford cars(even though I was warned by friends and family on spares being very costly)
Took the car out for a test drive and simply fell in love with the car.
Look wise the car is not a killer-but better looking than certain sedans in the same category-well sculpted body,great colors,very upmarket interiors and good fit and finish.
The seating is just right and the steering spot on-well weighted and firm to hold.The gearshift is a pleasure to work with-simple and slots into any gea
r with ease(without the rubbery feel).
Dimension-wise the car looks big-but once inside the car gives a sense of warmth-the best seat in the house is the "Driver’s Seat"..Once seated I simply didn’t want to get out or sit in the passenger seat.
So,I picked up the Ford Fiesta 1.4 Zxi Petrol on the 7th of Sep 2007(My baby(car) is one year old).
I have no regrets whatsoever on my buy-except that the dealer needs to be more customer oriented AFTER selling the car.
I currently manage 11-12 kmpl in the city with the A/C on,always.
If i were to buy another car I would definitely buy the Ford Fiesta again-this time the Sports version in Aquarius Blue...
Tip for prospective buyers:The Ford Fiesta is a driver’s car-if you spend most of the time in the rear seat,this car is NOT for you.
