Recently I had a chance to
test drive Ford fiesta 1.6S(Sports) at Wasan ford dealer. I hope my
review will be useful for all Seden lovers.
Positives: Better seat comfort, have not seen better legroom space. The car
revved happily till the 6k rpm mark. I released the clutch and the car
screeched a little and sped ahead. I shifted to 2nd at 50kph, 3rd
in 80kph and 4th somewhere around 120ish….oh that was just great.
while all this I was thinking so much torque the fuel efficiency would be
really disappointing. So looked at the ODO, I had taken the car more than 14km
with high rev’s, traffic however the fuel indicator moved just a bit. when
asked I was told the FE would be somewhere in 9.5-11kmpl in the city. The Ford
Fiesta 1.6S is designed & engineered for sheer driving pleasure I must say.
It would be better if you guys take the test drive and know for your self. The
15inch alloys and 195/55/R15 GoodYear Tubeless tyres look damn neat.
Negatives: I wish they would have given headrest and center hand-rest for the rear
seat, the seats no-doubt are soft, comfortable and good fabric, but the neck
needs support too, the current headrest is a fixed type.
