My Paprika Red Ford Fiesta 1.4 ZXI Petrol is now 4 months old and has done around 3500 Kms...In a very simple term, I'd say the car is fantastic...Many people in the forum are against fiesta and ford in general
but I can say it is all myths they are talking about...

I owned a maruti alto LX for 2.5 years and now this is my second car...

Although people may think 1.4 L is underpowered it is not so...with 5 people+1child and with AC on, I never feel any loss of power at all...

The driving position with the seat adjustment seats is extremely comfortable and the engine is totally noiseless...

Have done first two free services and money spent on service until now
is zero as only in the third service they'll change the oil,etc.,

The build is really good and after closing the Fiesta's door and getting
accustomed to it, once when I closed the SX4's door, I felt like closing
a door made of tin...

People in India are carried away by other's opinion rather than their own
decision...I personally feel that is the reason for the over priced Honda
city and poorly built SX4 selling like hot cakes...

Reg A.S.S when you want more from a car, you have to spend more...There is nothing wrong in it...

There is no rattles until now and I never want to get out of the car
and want to drive it on and on and on...

Finally the car gives about 11-12.5 Kms/L in heavy city traffic and about
18 Kms/L in Highways with 60% AC...
