*I sold my Ford Ikon 1.6 ZXi, before going to USA on a holiday for 6 months to spend time with my Children and grandchildren. After my return in September 2008, I was bit confused to choose a car for us.we are two.husband and wife! After test driving many cars my eye was focussed only to Ford family! So I bought "Ford Fiesta 1.6 Duratec SXI" during Christmas. I am 65 years old and have been driving both in India and abroad.light and heavy vehicles apart from my favorite Royal Enfield Bullet 350 CC bought in 1967.I love my Ford Fiesta 1.6 Duratec SXI.

There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to the finer things on the new Ford Fiesta. Under all that wood, chrome and leather, is technology that performs round the clock to keep you in the lap of luxury. Take the six-way adjustable seats that give you completely customized comfort. Or the power mirrors that come round to your point of view with a mere flick of a toggle. Consider the keyless entry system that lets you cut out the twists and turns – and the music system that’s just waiting to play your favorite music, no matter where you store it. Then there are all those little delights like the remote boot opener, the theatre dimming lights… and thoughtful storage recesses for those special things you like to have within arms reach. A personal butler, unfortunately, is not part of standard equipment.

Superlative safety. Full stop.
Safety is not an optional extra on the New Ford Fiesta. Drivers and passenger airbags provide calm reassurance, no matter what the road conditions are. ABS and EBD are standard on the SXI, giving you the assurance that when you want to stop, you will. Optimized steel strength in critical areas along with structural reinforcements ensures passengers and the driver are unscathed even in the unfortunate event of a collision from any side of the car. This reinforcement actually covers passenger from frontal, side and rear collisions. Moreover, thoughtful features like anti submarine seats, fuel cut off in case of a collision and ELR(Emergency locking retractor), seatbelts that tighten when the car senses a collision, all contribute to keeping you safer than in any car in its class. Above all, there’s the warm feeling of security that comes from being ensconced in a car that wears the badge of superlative safety. The Blue Oval.
