It is the same car with extra features. Limited edition is actually EXI version with sterio and some electrical lights extra. No technical difference.

I am still getting 9 Kms max. gudgaon and Mumbai may not be same in road traffic condition and I think we need to speak in relativity.

honda city on similar road condition gives 10-11 Kms. You can check what is the general average for Honda and compare both.

I have driven about 20000 Kms (Twenty thousand Kms)

Thanks kamlesh for your inputs….how many kms have you covered till now ? mileage still rmeinas the same 8-9kms mentioned above or better/worse ?

yesterday i met a gentleman with a 2009 ford fiesta 1.6 duratech standard version ( not too sure if a EXi/Zxi)..he told me he gets around 11-12 with AC in gurgaon ….is there some difference in Limited edition and standard edition That you may be aware of ???

I forgot to mention..

Replacement of steering and shock absorber was covered under my extended warranty (i had purchased for 2 years costing 10K) and did not pay anything for the damages.

Hi Jolly,

Almost 2.5 years now.
Recently my Stearing rack (horizontal beam) had malfunctioned. It is hydralic and it has started leaking. The cost to replace would have been around 12-15 thousand.
Also my suspension had gone for a toss.
Both I think could be because of bad road in one of the stretch I drive. However this cannot be excuse as now days some other cars could bear the same brunt.

Overall as I said earlier, CAr is really good. Average really hurts and I strongly recommend to go for a either a hatchback like Swift Diesel if sedan is not a need for which running cost will be almost 30% of Fiesta OR a sedan like Swift Dzire where average is much better.

You may only have to compromise on Cabin interiors in case of Swift dzire.

Hi Kamelsh , faisal
I intend to go purchase a 1.6 Ford Fiesta Limited edition from Mahindra first choice in gurgaon. The vehicle has covered 10,000kms and seems in good condition. Can you please give a feedback on the performance of this car after 2.5 years of purchase in terms of mileage and spare parts?
Your inputs will be very valuable for me ,hence please reply at the earliest..
They are quoting @3.6Lacs which seems on the higher side , please also comment
Anyother FORD 1.6 Limited edition users also request your veiws on the Car?

I have booked a FORD FIESTA CLASSIC 1.6L Clxi Petrol version. The comments about milage (9-10 Km/lit) are very discouraging. Could someone comment about the milage of this version? Is it worth going ahead. It is going to cost me Rs. 6.85 at Ahmedabad, including all taxes, RTO and handling.
