Any Ford vehicle has an extremely poor value for money because the ford guys are not the best people to buy a car from ,they harass you after you buy the car in terms of very very very very poor after sales service and absurdly priced spares.they donot have a good image in the public because of this.Ford Service Centres behave as if they are from a different planet and they really overcharge claiming that Ford price lists are like that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Mr Aditi Vijay, in this world nothing comes for free. From my experience i can say you can not enjoy a Mercedes for the cost of a Maruti. Better go for a Maruti if u do not want to pay for a Honda or Ford.

    One of my office colleagues has a ford and she has a very good experience with the service. This depends from dealer to dealer

    If petrol - look for a Honda CITY ZX -- u will have a peace of mind for sure! If u wanna have it and eat it too -- Sx4 is good value for money -- though don't blame later by comparing honda's refinement Vs Maruti --

    Ford Fiesta is good as a diesel and infact is a nice car --- American brands always have a premium -- they are not localised like maruti or other Japense -- so no use blaming it!!

    Bite it if u can chew!! -- Else take a bus and save the penny and be happy -- noone is blaming :

    Ford gets is engines from Hindusthan Motors, the makers of Ambassador. So much so for American premium

    Service levels vary from dealer to dealer and cannot be generalised. Being a Fiesta owner, I've heard the service levels in Mumbai are good whereas in Bangalore its not upto the mark.

    Agreed spares are pricey but if you use the machine judiciously, these cars dont break down every now and then

    dont write nonsense without knowing. Read my review in honda city section. visit mahindra logan website a price comparison is given.i m not buying logan but see company spares of city are muck more expensive than fiesta. i am selling my city and buying a fiesta.

    service complaints are a common phenomena across manufacturers...it is more to do with dealership as well as customer's understanding...what u might percieve as expensive might not be true if similar parts are considered across manufacturers of same league. ford is the only co. with a service pledge where u can write to its MD if u have a problem...shows class...

    I am also a Ford Fiesta Owner and my experience is till date, the car is gem, Service depends on dealer to dealer and as far as my dealership is concern i am very happy and infact we bought another Ford car in Nov. 2008, Ford Ikon Flair. Someone's words.. If you can afford, nothing is better than FORD! I have asked so many ford users they r satisfied.. I am talking about OWNERS, Maintenance was on higher side earlier but not now, Fiesta is the best sedan in its segment.

    To all the above writers. I own Ford Fiesta, Honda City, & tata Indigo.all these cars cant be compared with each other. but the worst car experience is of FORD. every 1000 - 3000kms car goes to service centre for repeated problems. Please dont go to HARPREET FORD GURGAON specificly . Better you go to a roadside mechanic atleast he will not lie . he will tell you what all he can. please read this review: http://www.carwale.com/Research/ReadFullUserReview-rid-1966-sort-1-m-535017337.html

    Hi Guys,
    Ford Fiesta 1.6 Petrol is for performance.. its a drivers car. the handling is very good in its segment. if 10-12 kpl is a decent avg by fiesta.. i am sure none of the other vehicles will give you the driveing satisfaction other than ford. Cheers to Fiesta Owners.

    I lookin around for htach back or a 3 box , however have zeroed down on the fiesta 1.6 ZXi .
    I am cetainly not a rich huppe however driving comfort and other apects like storage dikky etc.would some advise on mileage between 1.4 and 1.6. SX4 VXI was another option was ruled out because of higher dikky . i found it a problem while reversing .
    i hear spares are cheaper with Aveo , is that true. kindly advise.

    I have a long association with Ford, i have an Ikon 1.3L done 80K in 4Y. I love my car, the built,handelling buti am very pissed out with the service. i have been in 4 states, my comment is the same. very bad service, at times i had to involve Ford. Ford want to improve, need to literate the service network.
    My say: I still love Ford, powerful, stable, expensive parts (very low failure rate) and value for money.

    Is it true that Fiesta is more congested than Verna?
    However, i really like the interiors of Fiesta compared to Verna. Im totally confused. Price is not the issue. But looks, comfort, VFM and technology is of concern. Someone pls advice.

    Hi,
    I have used various brands and there is nothing so far that satisfied me like Ford Fiesta 1.6 ZXI petrol, which I am using right now. I experience the real value for my money & for my passion for cars. It hardly troubles. I am talking about the 'car' friends and kindly forget the word 'quality' in service in 'Bangalore'. Ford stil has to realise that 'service' is an attitude rather an act otherwise 'Ford Fiesta' remains as the best car of the past.

    My Ford Fiesta 1.4 ZXI has done 12k kilometers now and I am very much satisfied of it. 3 services done and till now I am satisfied with the service.
