Ford Fiesta 1.4 ZXi TDCi road test : Diesel Power

Anonymous good looks are a double-edged sword.
Introduction

Everyone and their uncle is now looking at buying a diesel car, because the low cost of the fuel and the better efficiency makes you happy every time you see the price of petrol at the pump. Ford has recognised that customers are willing to pay a premium on a car that can give them good returns on fuel efficiency, and have offered the cost-conscious Indian consumer the Ford Fiesta diesel, which has earned a fearsome reputation for fuel efficiency. We have the ‘Go Fida’ experience, but with the oil burner under the bonnet.

Soft turbo, ride/handling compromise

spare parts prices, maintenance charges

-great test report once again-the 17sec 0-100 seems to be agonizingly slow for a car in the fiesta's segment.

Fantastic report! The road test results are presented beautifully. The test data details made available are very helpful. Also mention of the competition available was very good. I think for people looking to buy this car this would be very helpful.

It's been a while coming, but we did it - what is widely considered to be India's most fuel-efficient car. The Ford Fiesta TDCi.
