A worst Nightmare in Blu

My uncle Bought this car after doing lot of research in this budget category, finally he decided to go for this car Since it was newly launched. We got this Car delivered in April 2019. It is such a good looking car. During the month of June i'm his niece and his son and daughter in law went for a short trip to a nearby Hill station. the car was pretty new and the kilometers driven was within 2K and thought a long derive would be good for both the car and us. all of a sudden in the middle of a lengthy traffic, the car was down, and we were struck in the middle of the road . After many attempts the car didn't start and we manually pushed it aside with the help of passerby. And after 6 hours of waiting we have got the road side assistance and the Tuck vehicle arrived, it was almost dark and out of nowhere with a girl by our side. the next day we gave verbal beat down for the dealer who sold this piece of trash and made us suffer. They convinced us by saying this is a rarest complain and we are very sure this will be your last trouble for some time. after the delivery it was going well and Yesterday 8/9/2019 I have received a call from my Uncle telling that the car stood still and didn't take off in middle of an express highway due to fuel leakage from the hose takes petrol to the engine when he tried to start the fuel was flowing like anything out of the hose, clueless Uncle who is senior citizen along with my aunt sought the help of the passerby and got the car moved to the sides, they stood there for some 5 hours to Reach home after the recovery arrived after 3 hours of the complaint. and this morning what we got is again a lame answer and a mere excuse. after 6 months of Driving this within 5K we have come to a conclusion and we are no longer going to ride this car. they promised for a corrective action from Ford India, but since its not reliable anymore we have decided to exchange it to a better car company and to sue Ford India. our Negligence is their advantage. one of the worst experiences with a car we had in our entire life. with all right i will not suggest you this car ever. go for Hyundai or Toyota. Note my Uncle Was a central Govt Driver Who served for 45 Yrs for Commerce Dept. and retired. A seasoned Driver who holds an heavy license and badge. We know things can go wrong in a single car due to manufacturing defects but aren't we living in an age of absolute quality control and quality assurance.

Very good car in its segment- Now thats FAB.

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Exterior</strong> They are best. The front grill looks like a Skoda sedan. If you look from front side you will find that it looks like Laura Octavia. Cappuccino Beige looks very rich.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong> These too are best. In elegance model I liked the dual toned dashboard.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong> Fuel eco is lil bit less than other cars such as Punto i20. But who cares when there is lot of other features,</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong> When you sit in the car you get a very good feel which cannot be expressed in words. Handling is very good. i have driven my friend's Punto, it had many features like Fabia but it lacked in driving satisfaction, quality.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong> This car is for them who want comfort and not concerned about economy. This is really a fabulous car. Compared to its competitors only i20 can reach to Fabia level. price is very competitive. After sales service by Skoda dealer is very good. Fully satisfied by this car. If you are planning to buy a car in this segment please check Fabia also.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong> I dont find any. Only fuel economy should be greater.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>Style, Comfort, Safety, Security, Design etc etc.Fuel Economy
