Coming to your other query, I would probably wait till this year ends. You wont loose much out of it(except for time and patience) but will definetly be benefitted out of it. Reason : 1)If the production is really being stopped you will be coming to know about the car that is going to replace the existing one. 2)If the current version is not stopped, you can then bargain for even more discounts in the next year. | |

No SA for some reason or the other has been excited to showcase the New Fiesta but it is one hell of a car. And there is no problems whatsoever in buying it. Timing is pretty tricky though. Waiting for 6 months is probably too much for me (if you are looking at a new year discount). I have been to some Ford Showrooms 'hoping' for a discount but haven't got anything significant. I do not see Ford pulling the plug on this car, unless they have a new one - which they don't right now, so you should be good for atleast 2-3 years. Buying a car (and specially this one) is a fairly emotional decision, and if you really want it, what the heck; go for it ![]() | |

| ![]() Am tempted to buy this as my next car, but golden rule is dont buy a car no one else is buying. The classic and the fiesta only sold about 46 units last month! Checked with Ford this morning and sales have been temporarily stopped. Last edited by Hatari : 11th June 2015 at 16:32. |

Yes, Fiesta doesn't offer any discounts, a mere 10k Rs. was what I could get for tge Trend I was supposed to get. I get your point, they don't have another car to replace the Fiesta. Quote:
Can't wait anymore buddy. Already fed up with cabs and Autos. | ||||

BHPian | ![]() I dont see this in the features list in the website. So other than the material, the seat type also varies between the variants? |

| ![]() Recently driven my Fiesta to Chail for a short trip. The maneuverability on hilly road was great, so was the ride. However, felt the car somewhat 'under-torqued' at steep inclines. Needed downshift whenever momentum is lost, no recovery. First gear was the saving grace though. At a couple of very steep slopes where other cars struggled a bit, quick shift to first gear served well. Was back to it pleasant self once hits the plains. Just wondering if any fellow BHPian can share his experience with Fiesta on hilly roads and ghats. |

| ![]() Experienced Ford's brilliant RSA (road side assistance) today, My sister had taken the Fiesta to work today, its raining crazily in Delhi and she inadvertently went into a very deep pothole/sunk in road which was covered with water. The underbody abs plastic sump guard hit the stone and the plastic clips gave away. It came off from the front end and was scratching the road. She gave me a call, asked her to slowly take the car to office as it was just a km away and make sure that no engine oil etc is leaking. She reached office fine, gave a call to Ford's RSA at 1:10 PM requesting them to send a mechanic at the place so he could see and attach the sump guard back. The Ford guy reached there by 1:45 PM, informed me that he would not be able to attach the guard back as front two clips had broken but he will remove the guard completely, keep it in the boot and i can get it fixed from the service centre. It was fine with me and within 15 minutes, he completed his work and signed off. Got the sump guard fixed back from a neighborhood garage this evening. The road side assistance was used first time by me and am very very impressed with the quick prompt response and help offered. Is the RSA provided by Ford valid for just 1 year or 2 years? Quote:

What seems to work is its relatively low reliance on turbo. That helps the car move comfortably in 1200-1500 rpm range as bottom end is strong. | |

![]() Why ? Such a niche car, but why is Ford murdering a good product. Maybe Aspire is being given all attention or is it that Ford is happy with exporting rather than Indian market. | |

| ![]() Quote: Also, unable to find the configuration to switch the auto door lock feature on. Need help on this one too. ![]() They have even stopped the production for the time being. I don’t really understand but as an Automatic Fiesta was spotted, I am guessing that Ford might be planning to relaunch the Fiesta with the Petrol and Auto options.
