I wanted a midsize car which should be reliable, economical to run with smooth driving with reasonable looks and .I test drove Hyundai Accent petrol, Ford Fiesta Diesel, Ford fusionDiesel, SX4 , Logan diesel.
I love to go on long drives and my run is also high so i wanted diesel.
Accent I would have chosen if I wanted petrol handling is better than most in this segment.
Diesel & those in suiting my pocket were Fusion n Logan
i liked Ford fusion looks n its high seats and driving comfort it has engine of fiesta but its not three box n my other reason was its maintenance.
Sx4 ruled out little expensive and poor mileage though very pretty car with nice interiors but my main concern was performance
After driving most others when I drove logan I finalized the vehicle. i have not driven petrol so cant really say anything . As I drove this I liked all features except looks they r not at all bad but neither very sleek. Performance of car is excellent no noise no vibration turbo crdi engine is great. Suspension is excellent I think better than honda.Cruising the slow traffic is very smooth. Though steering is bit heavy than petrol cars of same range but its quite comfortable.
Other concern was lot of negative feedback n net regarding
- odd placed light switches n indicators -- i got used 2 in 1 day only
2.boot lock --its not at all problem opening it by key
3 indicator does not show which side --- I never felt it as problem
I have drove more than 2500 kms in 25 days it includes both highway as well city drive n average on diesel is around 25 km/l any other queries invited.
