Just now had a harsh experience from FORD. I am a corporate employee for the past 3 years. Couple of weeks back i booked a fusion petrol. I loved that car mates. Yesterday i got a call from FORD saying that FUSION  petrol version has been stopped. I was almost broken. They committed a date and came back with a blow. I dont have any idea to proceed. Thought this would be the nice place to put forward my queries. Smile

Hi Ami,

Yes i did looked mate. Fusion was the one i liked the most. My father is also having some knee problem. I thought fusion would be best to get in and out. It has also got good GC as well. Now i am thinking of some other which has got good GC. I also loved those 15 inch tyre size in fusion and its muscle look. Any altenative mate? Smile

Hi Roadster,

I have directly called the Ford plants and enquired dude. They have stopped producing Petrol version. The dealer whom i have ordered committed a date without checking the inventory. I have also enquired couple of dealers. Thats why started looking some alternatives.

They provided one more deal

Ford Fiesta Sports version: 7.52 OTR with special discount. I think this is one killer pricing IMHO. Any idea about the mileage mates??

the fiesta would give u mileage of around 10-11 in city. it is a good car with very good driving dynamics.

or else if u want a fusion only than opt for a diesel one, though u may have to spend that extra bucks but ull get a car of ur choice. & today's diesel's are very much refined & maintainance free machines.

I would also second Roadster. I guess there is a discount running on Fiesta diesel also. Legroom is quite good in the car.

If you plan to stretch till the Jazz, then do look at i20 diesel.
