I own a Ford Fiesta 1.4 petrol since 2007. First 2.5 years it was absolutely fine with relatively low maintenance but for the last 1 -1 .5 years I could have easily coughed up more than a lakh on repairs and maintenance. The service advisor only talks about replacement and never about repairing. I have replaced so far AC Coil, ac connecting tube, brake pad, some component of carburetor, some sensors, clutch pad, fan motor etc and the list does not seem like ending. To top it all I have been behind Chennai Ford to solve a unique problem which im facing (the engine switches off every time I pass through a water clogged road or even a pot hole). I have given the vehicle 5 times to the service centre so far without getting the problem resolved. Now I am going to write to the company and ensure this is getting fixed once for all.
Pls think before you buy Ford Fiesta!
