I have it since 2003. If you are a person who loves to drive it is the best car. recently a honda city infront of me breaked suddenly in a signal. I had no choice but to just touch and stop. The city bumber was like a chewed peice of cane. only my headlight was broken. I have done 83000 kms. I have driven from Chennai to cochin with family. no punctures.. break down on the way..it is also the most roomiest cars ( till corolla, optra, skoda) pick up is fabulas, once a kid on his bike by mistake banged on me.was able to chase and catch up with him in the thick of the trafic to check if I can try it on him. he was terrified.


(this is to illustrate how good it had been) I have to replace her... I am unable to find a replacement in its segment or in hte next the civic and the magnum's pick up are comparable on the road however the ford gear box is the best. It has never given me up. It was always the plum..Now the cost of spares have been brought down.. the staff also have become friendlier.. however.. the crowd at the service is a night mare. there are so many vehicles and it is becomming impossible to get it the same day till my previous service... there are only two dealers in Chennai...The boot is also the largest. I always feel the car when I drive unlike in the honda city.


Fixing the dents are cool one door dent cost about 5k. one fender 3500 except for the boot which might be about 10k


I dont know why ford does not have something in the next segment. one unfortunate thing is that the quality of plastics used in endavour and fiesta appear cheaper compared to that of my car.
