    Ford Fiesta gets festival discount of Rs. 50,000

    We have been waiting a while for festive offers from Ford, particularly since its competitors Maruti, Hyundai, General Motors and Honda had already announced theirs. And now we have them.

        fiesta rides awesome. the classic one which I own has never let me suffer say bad roads or mileage or performance. and verna doesn’t hav proper control. sx4 , linea , city suck for everything. and polo vento jetta and passat look all the same.

    With Verna diesel waiting period climbing to 4 months, what are the best alternatives?

    With the petrol price hike yesterday, the demand for diesel cars is bound to increase. The Hyundai fluidic Verna diesel has the best-selling sedan for the last few months, with a waiting period of almost four months now. So if you want a diesel sedan, and cannot wait for this long, what are your options? CarToq spoke to dealers across the country to come up with alternati

        vento is good all rounder and has much better ride and handling compared to verna.. wait for verna justifies if you like gizmos..otherwise vento is overall a better car.

        No other car in the segment can match verna in terms of features, power, comfort and looks. The ford fiesta and the vento diesel are practically very good cars, their maintenance is on the higher side. If you can shed down a few features, then Sx4 can be a good car as you get a SUV like stance, excellent ground clearance and ample passenger and…[Read more]

        its better to wait for good asset.. no car in this segment can be compared to Verna fludic in terms of looks, gazets, interior, milage, space, handling. Only honda city is in race with verna fluidic. but no disel variant in city.

        NO NEED TO WAIT FOR VERNA GO AND BUY NEW GLOBAL FORD FIESTA THE MOST SELLING CAR IN EUROPE.
        IT HAD SAME FEATURRS THAT VERNA HAS AND MUCH MORE HANDELING CONTROL THEN VERNA. AND IT HAS CRUISE CONTROL ALSO FIRST IN THIS SEGMENT AND VOICE ACTIVATED CONTROLS THAT VERNA LAGS.

        I guess its not worth waiting so much for all these cars..rather if u can push your budget a lil bit probably u can afford a Toyota Corolla Diesel…Which has almost everything one can imagine…Or else the best option u can choose may be the Etios Diesel without any waiting….

But ford’s maintenance and spares are very high. Each paid service you need to shell out a minimum of 5000 rupees. Still all customers of the new fiesta will be in the free service…[Read more]

        Roll on acceleration figures are poor for verna. The power delivery is very linear(its good actually).Coupled with the ultra light steering with no feedback.Engine is very good but the car gives up(read suspension) much before the engine does.

        I am curious to know why DWS doesn’t consider the Linea to be an alternative. Despite it’s sub-par after sales support, it is a reasonably competent car.

        still Verna Rocksssssss its better to wait rather den go for any options as no other cars provide a list of features which goes on and on and an option of 1.4 and 1.6l petrol and diesel engines.with a good dealer network., a good mileage, good looks, better resale value. wht Fiat linea is not listed with these cars?

        The wait may come down as hyundai is ramping production, Since I drive vento and verna extensively , the verna gives a better value for money and ride is superb. I don’t have any problems until 110 kmph beyond which the suspension is too soft. But how many people and how often do we extend ourselves beyond 120 kmph with indian road conditions.…[Read more]
