Will Post more pics.
None will say it as 6 years old one.
I bought her for 5 Lacs 2 years before.
Issues [thinking] Not much.
Maintenence is not high Regular service cost around 5K only.
But i have changed the HU and Tires so Spent around 40 K
Timing Belt was replaced as it finished its life time of 6 years - 19K
Now planning for Alloys and Sub-Woofers



Yep Im really Lucky...!

Hi Rajvel

My Fiesta 1.4 TDCI has completed 100000 kms & is due for timing belt change. I'm yet to check the price with the dealer. But the price of 19K you mentioned for a timing belt looks very high. I've seen in other forum about the timing belt change for a price of Rs 1366.55 for the belt & Rs. 890 for installation. Can you pls re-confirm the exact price of timing belt?

Thanks

Loved your white Fiesta and your journey with it till now. Wish you many more happy miles with it. I'm in pursue of a new car for me and with 8L budget i have zeroed down to Fiesta Classic (Titanium diesel, 8L OTR), AMAZE (SMT diesel 7.OTR), I20 (sports diesel 7.6 OTR). Really confused which one should i buy. I'm looking to keep the car for a long time so resale value is not a major concern.

Remove Amaze from the list. Next competition starts between fiesta and i20.
Then decide yourself you need a sedan or a hatch. But fiesta is really a fun to drive !

Do you feel fiesta is under powered with 68bhp, i20 has 89bhp. Also what is the mileage you get with fiesta and overall maintenance cost?

Overall maintenace is bit low ! For first five years of a car. There wont be any problem. Regarding the power , you will feel like that sumtimes in city when reviving. But in highways you can do 160 kmph without much effort. Mielage will be 16-17 kmpl in highways with 120-160 kmph. With 80- 110 kmph we can get 18-20 kmpl. In city dont expect mielage 10-12 kmpl with full traffic.

Almost finalized with Fiesta Diesel, White or Seal grey color, Titanium version. Should be booking this by next week. Only thing troubling me is extremely low mileage in city.

^^ Old fiesta is known as classic now and this model is outdated. Ford may stop this model in 2014 by the launch of all new fiesta.
If you are worried about the mileage, then look at other options

is it the all new fiesta or classic ? there is a mouth watering discount of 1.5 L on All new Fiesta. I had taken one last week. Im much impressed with it from day one.

Update
Car has completed 54K ODO

Issues sorted out
AC cooling coil was changed with 8K Rs
AC condensor fan was changed with 3k Rs

Overall maintenece has increased ! Has done a lot of highway trips. Still brand new perfomance makes me better even though the maintenance has increased. Hitting 120 kmph is very easy.
Done coimbatore - pondy in 5.30 hours which is a distance of 400 kms.
Mielage is balancing between lower and higher side. In city getting 12 kmpl even less some times when ac is ON when standing at same place. But in highways its quit natural getting 17 or 18 kmpl.
Regarding my tyres , im not satisfied ! Because of faster wear in 25k ODO.
Suspense is quit stiff now. And started giving some noise.

Dad strictly said no alloys ! Because of increasing issues.
