Its been almost a year since I have bought my Fiesta.
I love adventure sports.It requires going to rough terrains with extreme climates. An SUV could have well served my purpose, but my family wanted a comfortable and spacious family car only. Thus my requirement was of a car which was while sturdy, powerful like an SUV was at the same time comfortable like a family car.
When I was planning to buy it I went through numerous sites and reviews on cars in the range of 5-10 lacs.I talked with people owning the cars in this range there experiences.Did SWOT analysis, test driving and what not. I almost took 2 months to decide.Finally I ended up buying it.
In the last one year, I have driven it to the extremely cold, landslided, high snowfall, frozen river places in the Himalayas where even the Mahindra Jeep and tata sumo walas refused to go.I have driven through hot and arid desert roads of Rajasthan. The car never failed me. Its highly dependable and extremely powerful.
Driving it is a pleasure that can not explained and showing it off to the SUV owners(with SUV owners I mean people who have driven their SUVs in frozen rivers, over the fresh and moving landslides(with 50% angle), or have crossed monsoon mountain rivers, where error is known as death, and not plain leh ladakh /khar dung la pass route wallahs) is pride that you can always boast of. My family at the same time is very happy and satisfied with the comfortable and smooth driving experience of this wonder car. These are some of the reasons which made me go FIDA . Hope this will help you in making your decision esp if your requirements are similar to mine.
Let me also dwell upon an area that can be of a slight concern. Though I give 100% marks to FORD for this marvel but to their A.S.S., I will give only 90%.This should not bother you much on making your decision as most probably you would need to go to the dealer only for servicing.
