we've had a Paprika Red FF for the past 2years now,
instead of going into a long winding description I'll just do some
bullet points so that it's simpler to read:

PROS
  1. spacious nooks and a very usable boot
  2. 17-18kmpl on city roads in bad traffic. 20+ on the highway
  3. reasonably good pickup which coupled with the form factor ensures you're first out of a traffic signal almost always
  4. balance between power and efficiency is just right for city driving and those weekend getaways
  5. ride
    quality is very good even with the slightly higher CG. Roll is not as
    pronounced as you would expect which is probably because of the larger
    wheelbase. Drive is actually pretty smooth
  6. high seating
    ensures you have a better driving stance and getting in and out of the
    car for aged passengers, pregnant ladies and taller people is easier as
    it doesn't involve crouching.
  7. small thoughtfull knick-knacks all over the car make it a very comfortable ride.
CONS
  1. plastic quality is
    poor and there are typical Ford problems like wheel well noise, power
    window switch/winder motor failure which occur. The fact that these are known
    problems makes it simpler for the service people to fix them, if only
    ford could fix them for good :)
  2. Parts are always not available
    at the dealerships. so a one week wait is always expected. Once you get
    used to the "process" it's ok but personally speaking it's irritating
    to be told everytime that "the part will need to be flown in from Chennai"
