absolutely agree. Ford fiesta is for enthusiast who wants a car with razor sharp handling and quality ride at a comfortable price. I took TD of fiesta only once when i was in the process of buying ecosport. Boy, the car's handling, refinement and ride blew me away. This car is like point and shoot. Just give input through the steering wheel and the car will follow without any drama. With the current face lift the car has become more desirable

Definitely this car is not for the people who wants little bit of everything in a single package.

Absolutely @D.J.D
I have seen lot of people complaining about Fiestas back seat,its interior quality isnt worth a the price tag etc, but what they absolutely miss is the cars soul, its a much much different car compared to all other C segment sedans in India, and that includes the Linea too, wherein Linea they have prioritized Indian needs
The Fiesta is a pure European breed, actually the dynamic prowess of Fiesta is way beyond class expectations and sadly our roads dosent do justice to completely exploit its abilities
I had a feeling that with each generation the old school mechanical feel and precision of cars like Ford Classic/Palio 1.6 was starting to fade away but the new Fiesta/Linea are cars that actually holds on to these virtues without spoiling any of its past abilities and adds even more to it
Majority of Indian customer dosent have the passion and knowledge to understand the importance of dynamics and engineering built into these cars, majority say whats the problem of a Vento,City etc, it also goes into the direction in which it is steered , changes gears quickly and yet has more space and comforts,so why not a Fiesta?
Even I cant answer them their queries but once I get the feel,the precision,the supreme body control,the agility up front,all this without ride quality compromise I get floored,
its like if a normal guy is made to drive a Porsche on a busy Indian street the person may find it cramped and even uncomfortable due to its bucket seat structure and sporty dash and super tight suspension,heavy steering feel,sensitive clutch etc and to make worse the person will hate it more because even if a Aston Martin has power one cant use more than 50% of it on our roads, but that dosent make it a bad car
Fiesta is like that, in FWD cars terminology Fiesta/Linea re like Aston Martin/Jaguar which are totally impractical in India but for a passionate driver no other machine in this world can satisfy him more
Vento/Rapid is another great drivers car, but its like a typical Audi, has lots of power,quality,comfort ,lots of traction but has no real feel and fools a drivers skills, its electronics keep the car moving faster and falters the driver
