My humble Ford Fiesta: Ownership experience after 9 years & 99,000 km

The car is primarily used by my parents and I intend to replace it with a SUV soon.

BHPian Porschefire recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

The humble Fiesta will turn 9 in a month’s time and continue to perform its duties without any complaints. Ford leaving India hasn’t caused many issues as most spares are available over the counter and the basic service cost remains affordable (~ INR 5000) even today.

I describe the car as humble because it is fairly outdated in terms of technology and equipment and you compare it with the cars of today. But, I doubt if any of them can match its ride & handling prowess + the frugal 1.5 TDCi gem of an engine.

The Continental MC5s served well for about 55k kms and I replaced them with the UC6s. Completely satisfied with both sets.

@ ~99k km as I pen this and will be the first car in the family to cross 1L km. Every km has been memorable

The car is primarily used by my parents and I intend to replace it with a crossover for their easy ingress/egress and an automatic for the ease of driving. Replacing the Fiesta will be tough as I need something simple, reliable and safe within the 20L budget and I’m not a big fan of most of the available options. Well, that’s a problem for another day, for now, the Fiesta it is.
