nice to see ya prompt reply karan.
i have no clue bout the previous fiesta.to be frank until i had my ohc i dint care for any other mid segment car and then i found myself wanting.i think the old zxi came with fog lamps.music system is invariably free on most of ford cars.

hi manjith pm
no updates regarding ICE? what is the mileage you are getting?

Lalvaz · 3rd October 2008, 20:06

Nice colour you got there. Have fun with the ride and do post a detailed review once you've got some miles on her.

Drive safe!!!

8 is really low dude. I thought Fiesta 1.6 gave around 10-12 kmpl?
maybe due to driving styles?

It depends on traffic conditions. In Metro's there is no way that you can get 10-12 from a 1.6 ltr petrol engine.(Sx4, Verna or Fiesta)

Thats the reason petrol cars dont make sense for engine sizes above 1 ltr, unless the running is very very low like 500 kms per month.

congratulations bro, nice interiors. fiesta is very good for the city indeed. nice colour too!

i am surprised they dont give audio system with zxi. put some snazzy alloys and if possible then a spoiler too later on if possible !! then it would be a fiesty fiestaaaa.

Neo mileage is around 8 only..haven't really taken it for long drives.I'm just waiting to get some money to put some good alloys and music system.should be doing an initial setup soon and make the machine munch more miles

please suggest some good alloys that suit fiesta.members please what color alloys would suit my fiesta.

Incorrect! If you've read my ownership review, I've never got less than 10.8 in city driving---it hovers between 11 to 13, depending on AC, heavy-footedness and traffic. And traffic congestion in Hyd need not be talked about.

manjith, the probable reason for your low FE could be (as you said your mom uses it):-

Car used for several short trips of less than 3 kms.
Driver ripping the car.
Not switching off car at junctions for prolonged intervals
Not anticipating braking in advance
Not changing to the higher gear---most ladies suffer from this habit.

i feel go for black colour alloys as it would look cool with your cars colour, also matt finish would look good too.
