Its hard to believe when it comes from AutoCar/ Ford and there are vested interests.

How come not even a single Fiesta owner has claimed fuel efficiency of more than 20 kmpl? There are many light footed owners on the forum with good driving skills.

They should let customers drive different cars in the same segment from A to B within a specific time frame and quote the figures. This is nothing more than a marketing gimmick!!

Seeing all this dirty stuff, I have stopped buying any of these auto mags - all crooks in business and none to regulate!
These automobile magazines are biased towards certain models. I rarely buy these magazines after getting into Team-BHP.
