Hi Manish,

The Clxi does come with the 2DIN MP3 Player. I was at the Dealer today and Also the brochure mentions the Same.

I still have to Test Drive and check The handeling of the Desire. Lets see if the 75 PS SUzuki engine has the Punch.


I am looking for a Diesel model. My running is approx 1200 Kms in a month.

In diesel definitely the dzire is the way to go. The engine is just amazing and once the turbo kicks in the car is a rocket. So go with the dzire by all means




An accident is generally the result of a screw loose in the nut behind the steering wheel

Hi Rajiv, thanks..

i was intially inclined on going for Figo but for want of boot space.. i went for Fiesta Classic.. 

should i go for seat covers offered by Ford dealer or should i have it outside..

i know that Ford Figo has ground clearance problem but how abt Fiesta..

Karthik, I will not suggest you to get Seat Covers from Ford Dealer without seeing the quality and price. Check it and if you are satisfied than you can go for it. I picked Autoform from Delhi only. Good quality for sure!!!! Ground Clearance is okey okey you need to keep an eye on Tyre pressure, proper tyre pressure and little care on speed breakers.. Fiesta is fine! Do check recommended tyre pressure, difference is huge!!!

Fiesta v/s D'zire: Personally I dont think D'zire can match Fiesta, Length, Build quality, Ride quality, Space, Boot space & confidence on high speed, Fiesta is better than the D'zire!

Fiat engine is really good and generates more power but this Ford engine is upto the mark as you are getting decent power output and great mileage (18.65kmpl in city) and with a.c. you will get over 16.5kmpl in city for sure (depends on driving style and driving conditions and lucknow's traffic is pathetic).

Maintenance: Fiesta's service is pretty cheap, we paid around 2200/- to 2250/- every 10k kms (thats not high), 3400/- every 30k kms and little less than 11500/- on 1,00,000 kms service (Drive belts & all replaced).

But do opt for Extended warranty for peace of mind! 




People dont change when you tell them that there is a Better option... They change when they realise that there is No Other Option..
