Personally, I have experience of 2 diesel cars 1. Indica DLG (non turbo) & 2. Ford Fiesta TDCi.
1. Indica DLG: Used for almost 3 years and 52,000 kms without any major problem except some body noise.
2. Ford Fiesta TDCi: 50,000 kms done. No problem at all, Engine noise is still very low (Infact better than other Fiesta's because of Good driving & Regular Service).
As far as maintenance is concern, normally we paid around 1900/- for the Indica.
Fiesta: Maintenance is cheap. Highest we paid 3400/- for the service of 30,000 kms. For 40,000 kms service we paid 2211/- & Yesterday for 50,000 kms service we paid 2000/-
Still Fiesta's engine is as powerfull as new one.
I would like to add, 50,000 kms done and still original brake pads. Service guy told me, it needs to be replaced now 2mm left and asked when u replaced it? I told him not yet. And he was amazed.
People dont change when you tell them that there is a Better option...
They change when they realise that there is No Other Option..
