I am the owner of Ford Fiesta Top end model 1.6 Lit. Petrol version. y comnents for the Ford to improve this: 1. The petrol consumption is bad. i get hardly 10 to 12kms per lit. 2. The swith starting your car when it stops specially at the junction lights or middle of the road by mistake , since the swith needs to put off and turned again to start the car. People behind you curse you and hor until you moved the car. This system is bad which other cars can just siwth the engine soon and there and there, but in the case of Ford's. 3. There is nothing to keep your personal things on the dashboard. NO USB connection also available. No hand control switch for the music system to control at ease. The data at the dashborad cannot be read easily for a driver as it is obstructing the view. The horn is low. Height adustement seat is not available.The pertol smell after filling up the tank is smelled cpomes of petrol ans also the garbage outside smell is easily entering inside the car with all the adjustment done inside which is bad. 4. I had raced with the car wolks wagen Jetta on the slope coming down at the Ghats , I mange to sped up and control the car well and did not gave the way for the Jett to overtake me at all for 20 kms distance , but what I notice is that the braking system although is good but the smell and fumes sted coming out from all the tyres and the disc was damn hot which is not well designed and needs to be modified by the Ford. This is just for those who preferred to race the cars. 5. The ground height needs to be increased for indian road conditions as it touches on speed breakers or in bumps especially in Bangalire city, but the design should not compromise with the safety of the vehicle or else it may turn while giving overturn at high speeds. 6. It needs to imrove the acceleration immediately after taking off the road to overtake the cars. Evenhtough my car was 1.6.lit it does not give me an impression that the car can take the speed soon after the starting , but later after going say about 1 kms it is good and can be controlled well and can overtake any other cars of the same engine level. No lock for the doors while driving, hence safety is not available as the doors can be opened by children inside the car. Clock needs to be prominently fixed at the dashboard. Other part of the car is quite good: 1. Good control 2. Good looks 3. Good suspension 4. Good view on the roads 5. Good brakes 6. Less sound inside the car on petrol versions only 7. Good visibilty on roads. 8. Good suspension and good control Stephen Dias Mpb: (0) 9422443110 C-22/113 Bay View D.Paula Goa 403004 I expect that the FORD can give me the reply for all my queries raised by me. If not I consider them foolish..
