I am driving this car since its launch in Kolkata, and I have taken it to frequent rides in the golden quadrilatral highways too.


It is terrific at the highways, as well as in the city, though lower torque in 1st and 2nd gears makes you constantly shift gears in heavy traffic.


In the upper gears, there is no dearth of power.


The air con is very very powerful.


Offers the boot space of a minivan when you fold the rear seats, I have even transported tables and chairs in this amazing car.


It is also a show stopper, especially its side view.


It has minor problems creeping up, right from its birth, like leaking of steering oil, plug short, engine revving up by itself , etc


But overall, a very good buy, very comfortable, very spacious, and awesome appearence. I would change my car only for another marina.


I get an average of 12.5 kmpl atleast.


Highly recommended.

    It is a great car and the comment is useful. I myself have a Marina DiCOR and is really good. If you have issues with the engine, I recommend having the car's ECU and its connections to pedals checked. Drive by Wire is sometimes not performing as expected and needs some tweaking.

    Hi, I am weighing my options for a diesel car. I love the look of Marina but, just can't make up my mind for it. My father in law has had one of these for 4 years now. For the first 2, it ran beautifully, & the last 2, it's been painful. It's sluggish & slow.. while still maintains the feeling of power & control. How is your car going? would you recommend it over (say) Fusion and/or Innova (if space wasn't a consideration for me)? Thank, Nitin

    If you are going for Innova, then go for it, for its engine is the smoothest. It also has huge space. Actually, Marina and Innova are not comparable, as they fall in different segment.
    My car, (Marina petrol), is still going as good as new, but only I drive it, and treat her with care. With a driver driving it, results may be different:-)
    Fusion feels and looks god, but being from the stable of Ford, it commands poor resale value.
    Regards
    Surjendu
