Ford Freestyle

So much features for reasonable price. Maruti cars r costlier and r not as safe as Ford. Love to buy this car.

Excellent car in best prices. Easy to maneuver in city and good power response while on hills . Adequate mileage and best handling and control. Feature rich with high end safety features.

95 BHP Powerful engine. Descent fuel economy. Smooth gear box. The suspension also makes for a very confident feel when driving enthusiastically, irrespective of whether you're on smooth asphalt or non-existent roads. The wider track benefits handling as well by adding to the planted feel. And in typical Ford tradition the Freestyle's steering is very communicative which adds to the driving experience. Very good grip on road. You will feel energetic due to powerful engine and ease in handling. Perfect for city as well as highway. On the safety front the Freestyle gets six airbags. Traction control, ABS and EBD are on offer as well.

This car makes most sense at 5.42 lacs on road, to me. Well, If you really care about automatic climate control and 2din infotainment system, even second variant could make sense. But after that, the prices enter a level that offers a lot of other differently awesome cars. But at this price point, this car remains undisputed king on almost front, maybe not just milage.

Exterior Exterior is overall nice , but bright colour options should be given and LED/DRLs/HID should be given as accessories atleast for styling and for modern looks . 4/5 star Interior (Features, Space Comfort) Interiors are functional and OK type not so great , funky dash colour, doesnt look premium though . Front seats offers excellent comfort, while rear seats offer OK type comfort due to fixed headrest, no 60:40 split and thigh support is OK type . 4/5 star. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance , mileage and gearbox are also excellent and USP of this car . 5/5 star. Safety features : Loaded with tons of safety features like ARP, traction control, Hill hold assist, Electronic Stability Control ( outstanding and unheard feature in this segment ) , 6 airbags . Chassis is built good . So good mix of active and passive safety features . ( 6 out of 5 star rating here :) ) Ride Quality Handling Outstanding in ride and handling , not stiffer nor soft . Perfect balance of sporty Vs comfort as i observed. Best in class and USP of this car . No other Car from any manufactuer matches in this dept . 6/5 star rating here :) ( polo punto are other two contenders in this dept ) Service : Ford service costs is cheap unlike earlier but the quality at service centres, interaction with customers is improving but still not in the league of Maruthi or Hyundais. So, you can bear the service with excellency of the car . Product is outstanding but service is OK type . Together still on the +ve side . Final Words Overall , this car is 4.5 out of 5 , ( exterior styling interior needs enhancements ) but when you match it with price , its definitely 5 out of 5 star rating. Areas of improvement Fixed rear head rest, no 60:40 rear split seats, no Sporty Colour options like red, blue, all are plain jane colours. Interior funky colours given , not looking premium. T+ should have given higher tyre size option. No LED/DRLs/HID for styling looks even as accessories (especially compared with competition).
