Thanks to instagram.com/theibrahimhusainn/ for lending me his car ✌🏼
I can lend you my nissan micra fora review in pune..
Bro make video on ford ikon TDCI From 2008 to 2011 model😊
Bought this beauty in 2006.. and yet enjoying in 2023.. Maintained it like a new car just can't get over it. Totally in love with it.. Thanks for your video..
Immaculate condition.. doesn't look like a car from 2004
Might not be. Mine is 2005 model and the same color. For a moment,i thought its my car. Very rare car on roads.
@@skarlapudi mileage per litre??
@@thes2341 city 8-10 kmpl, >12kmpl on highways
Have 1.6 Fiesta SXi, 2010 model. The car's capable of doing 100kmph in 2nd gear itself! Engine characteristics same as this Fusion( Fiesta is little faster I believe). Absolute riot of a car! As mentioned by Mr. Faisal, the engine can be super smooth at lower rpm, but can also be a monster at highest of rpm. It has the characteristics of both a weekday car and a weekend exciting, fun car. Ours being the SXi has leather seats, electronically adjustable ORVM, rear center armrest, rear window defogger, seat height adjust, alloys wheels, Chrome ORVMs, indicators on ORVMs, soft touch (rubbery) dash - these features makes the car still feel relevant in today's world, supplementing the absolutely relevant performance this car has even today!
This vlog perfectly describes the 1.6L Duratec engine! Talking about mileage, you will get 9kmpl in the City on a lucky day. But believe me, the driving pleasure this car gives, you forget about the appalling fuel economy. A fun fact- the fuel economy of this engine dramatically improves on highways at spees over 120kmph, in 5th gear, to 15kmpl. Below 120kmph, even if you drive sedately, you will not get that magical milege figure. Talking about reliability, the only major thing that have been changed is the AC- compressor, condenser, cooling coil and some houses, that was a costly repair, at 70k kms. Front suspension changed at 80k kms, rear's still original. Clutch still original, almost touching 90k kms, no slipping, nothing, even after abusing the car over the years. This car spins it's front wheels very easily, kind of gets addictive. The car's body is not the best-hugely prone to rusting - takes about 50k every alternate year to sort that (we stay 100 metres from the sea though). Guess i wrote too much, thanks for reading.
Thank you for your lovely comment, great insight about the car ✌🏼
Hey dude
Loved your comment
I still own a 2006 Ford Fiesta petrol EXI it misses out on some features as described by you but the joy of driving it is next level
Mine is now in a dead condition, the battery ran out has some issues with the clutch and Air conditioner
And there is some wiring issue where even a new battery runs out in a day or two
I think the wire is touching the body and get seeped into the ground or something
I still love the car and I don't plan on selling it
I'll get it renovated when I start earning
It has already done 1.25 lakh kms and I hope someday it'll start running again :)
Ford Fiesta 1.4 EXI Duratec 2006 ❤
@@Snehilojha Hey mate, thank you! Yup, the Fiesta is an awesome car, be it feature-loaded or not, the car remains the same. And Fiesta is all about driving pleasure- you forget the lack of features once you start driving- a gem of a car. I have access to cars with way more features, but believe me, once you start driving, none of those features matter- that's the magic of the Fiesta. Glad you still have kept your Fiesta and are planning to get it back on the roads! The driving dynamics of the Fiesta is just the best, not one among the best. I don't have much idea about the electrical issue you are talking about, so I cannot help much in that matter -wish I could. All the best!
Noice :-) 🙃🙃
@@deepjyotichatterji8534 Thank you soo much dude
Hope you do great with your fusion ahead
Fiesta was our family's first car and I can't describe the relation I have with the car be it great journeys or me learning how to drive :), currently I own a Micra and a Gloster but the place that fiesta holds in my heart is all together different, also I was planning on getting it renovated through Ford only
Do you mind dropping your instagram or anything so that I could seek help from you after asking Ford to quote a statement about the expenses, it'd be of great help.
I am proud owner of Ford fusion 2006,still running like brand new, even after 17 years, the engine is like a gem, too bad this car dint reach much customers, even today it gives tough competition to many hachback cars,cheers to Faisal for bring memories to many
I too own a 2004 1.6 Fusion. It's too good as this one. Marine blue
In those times the Ford fusion was an underrated compact suv but it was a gem.
The moment I saw the thumbnail I understood it's Ford fusion. What a beast!
Cars made 20-30 years ago had so much personality. I mean they might be outdated in the aesthetics part but those old engines still produce so much power. We have an old Santro from 2004 and apart from it's body the engine is just as fire as it was back in the day.
Ford's tagline for advertising before 2000's was "NO 1 quality" Which they delivered as said during those times.
After ford shifting to an completely SUV maker post 2000's worldwide and in their country too and they dropped their long lasting quality which they gave in earlier times and joined the leagues of many GM and European brands for being rated as the least dependable car makers.
Still the 7.3 powerstroke diesel engine is their best and most remarkable engine for durability, quality and reliability.
This car has superior handling for its age, engine power and overall deserved to sell more.
It was a gem.. and ahead of its time. Ppl then would think to buy usual '3-box' sedan, rather then this compact SUV. I loved it's engine and gear-shift and good space inside.
@@dhavalshah9449 brother nobody prefered sedans back then not now either that's why accord,kizashi and many sedans were gone. Indians have a very weak and bland taste while choosing cars and always prefer any below avg suv or raised hatch from either Suzuki or Hyundai. Out of that they don't want to buy anything which makes us enthusiasts uncomfortable by owning cars out of those brands with very less service station and showrooms of a particular brand.
Yes this car is good even though having just 101 hp but the torque helps it out and the gear shifts are good too.
Maruti killed all the possibility of good cars in India with their impossibility cheap cars. People who did not know much about cars simply wondered: how dare ford charge twice as much for the same car? (This included my own family). Now I understand the difference, but ford couldn't explain this to larger audience at that time. In 2018, I we bought our family's first ford and after only three years, ford packed the bags😅
Exactly, totally agree with your first phrase.. Sole reason behind cheap flimsy junk...
No you are wrong. I too owned Fords the issue Ford failed in India was its maintenance cost, not the buying cost.
Back in 2005-2012 most Ford cars average service costs were around 6000-8000 Rs/ 10,000 kms
The Swift managed that cost within 4000s
2nd and most important thing was RELIABILITY-- I mean EGR sensor issues, fuel injector issues , ABS sensor issues , Piston Ring failures , Timing belt issues, there were too many issues for Ford engines. And each of these parts costed 8000-25000 Rs range which is almost like 20,000-50,000 Rs per spare part. Think of it, would many think of taking a risk?
See I too owned Fords but hard truth is FORD IS AN UNRELIABLE brand, for some it worked and for some it was total night mare
That is predominantly why Fusion,Mondo, Gen I Endeavor , Ikon etc failed in India
The Figo,Ecosport, Fiesta classic, were the only cars that proved that Ford could be cheap to own as well, but then Ford didnt have the interior quality feature packs and punch to rival Hyundai Kias too.
I think Ford should come back to India but only as a premium brand
They need to sell just 5 cars in India
1. Fiesta ST (Just 1 variant with 6 speed Manual)
2. Focus ST (Just 1 variant with 6 speed Manual)
3. Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi Titanium (Just 1 variant with 6 speed Manual)
4. Ford Endeavour 2.0 Twin turbo Titanium (Just 1 variant with 6 speed Manual)
5. Ford Mustang V8 (Just 1 variant with 6 speed Manual)
Well cant Ford do that?? Yes they could, but as I said before, Ford is a FOOLISH brand.

@@ponygt6629 Bad bro
It was a GEM in the Time... IT'S GIVES ME POWERFUL VIBES when I heard FORD...
FORD a brand that will be remembered for its premium quality, ever green looks, technology and the foremost its Mighty Road presence ⚡🎆✨🤘
I love the sound from this motor and the way it slowly reaches the redline.
Faizal I have top end fusion + tdci 15 years if required you can review it. It will look like just showroom out. Excellent car i love it among all what i have. It was german design and build.
My dad had this car for nearly 10 years,he totally loved it.we also had an alto back then in which I learnt driving but I used to always drive fusion for obvious reasons..I remember changing the airfilter to k&n and it became more peppy.
Review the Ford Fiesta Classic TDCi Please ?
Thanks Faisal for reflecting my school days upon me!! Drove 1.6 Ford Ikon for 8 years and that engine was meaty.
Great video. Watching this video, is it just me or is they anyone out there who feels that simplistic designs have so much charm in them. I mean this is 2004 model and it still looks so timeless (like with a few bits and trim changed, you could launch it today as well).
Plus the functionality part is also pretty satisfactory in my opinion.
God I wish that designers come up with such timeless charmers...!
@Faisal Khan - Another trip down memory lane.....awesome mate!
A NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINE which SOUNDS LIKE THIS !!!!!!!! I can't believe it. This engine sounds like a budget supra engine without turbo !!!!!!!!!
6:35 that's why old Ford owners have to keep wipers clean and ready to go
As an old ikon owner I can still relate😅
The most satisfying thing in this vlog was the sound of the engine
Pre-facelift Fusion, i had one of those before I upgraded to a Pos-facelift one from 2010.
Nice video!
I was not expecting this car would be soo much
fun to drive.
I got a ford fusion too, I have been using it since 2009,the road grip of this car is very good
I am in canada fusion come in 5 engine option i have 2.0t 245 hp 372nm torque ❤
The howl from the transmission while downshifting sounded like the Hellcat's supercharger 9:55 😄
I guessed it was the fusion as soon as I read the caption and saw the logo on the steering wheel, most people say it was the premier Rio which was the first compact suv but it was this.......amazing car ♥️♥️♥️.......
Redline come slowly but the sound which increases with revs make it feel very fast.
Thank you so much Mr Faisal
I hope you see this comment
We owned this car
It was a tank
Miss every bit of owning it
It was powerful practical and to me it was more than just a vehical
So many emotions attached to it
I'm glad you could make a vlog on it
You made my day!!!
Once my dream vehicle... The Ford Fusion 😍
I had this. Fiery Red 1.6 petrol. Felt like small tank. Yet it was spacious. It was ahead of its time... Now we have these compact SUVs flooding the market. Good handling, and super brilliant gear-shift.
Everyday starts with your video.
My 2011 Figo 1.2 Duratec Petrol sounds like it when I rev it hard. Great cars Fords were.
9:54 sounded like a supercharger whine😌
Bro needs to review the og fiesta
That rear seat function is there in my Tiago also ,but single piece
It's there in the first-gen Honda Jazz as well, executed better. They call it magic seats.
Waiting for review on i20 n and swift sport
Review old Fiesta too. We love it ❤
I have a ecosport 2016 model it’s awesome 👏
Your energy is next level 🔥❤️
Hi bro drive safe and please do a video on urus
Faisal.. You could've taken it to ORR to check it's High speed instead on the busy newly constructed shaikpet flyover!!
It's a wonderful car. I own a 2009 model diesel which has clocked 280 k. Still it's in trim condition going strong. The ride quality and stability are still superb. It's hassle free.
i really miss those days 🥰
The OG compact SUV❤️
Got an 07 plate 1.4lt Fusion drives like a dream 😊 feels like it goes quite fast at 70mph haha
I love those vlogs where faisal drives like a maniac
Make video on Toyota Qualis (RS) model

Sir….do review of swift sport❤️🔥
Ash tray on both the rear door was 👍🏻
We had one of these at home with my dad, Brings back memories 👌
Please review also the Ford Figo 2011 ..😃
Do a review on 2nd gen Honda CR-V.
That sound is coming from the audio system when you revv...may be the volume is set to high
Cool ford review
Still love this car.. Ford produced some of the best product in India like Old Fiesta Ikon the josh machine and Eco Sport
can u please review crosspolo
I have Ford fusion plus now..my friends like my car more than thier cars..really it's a damn good one...
@faisal khan premier rio was India's first compact SUV
I spoke to you a few years ago for this car 😅. I have the Fusion Plus the diesel variant
Fusion. Swift
👇. 👇
Youre in hyd yayyy🎉
My old 2002 manual steering Santro was a blast to drive, needed to put an effort to turn, engine pulled much better than any Daewoo Matiz or Wagon R at that time, robust build, reliability was awesome. I sadly had to sell it after 20 yrs. What a GEM it was! The new Santro sucks in comparison. Old cars were miles ahead compared to new ones, which always boasts touchscreen blah blah......and features rather than quality and ownership experiences.
Faisal Bhai, if you get a Premier Rio to review, please review it. I wanna see how you'd roast it 😂😂
Me sitting in KSA nerding out on the fact that Faisal bhai was just opposite to my house in HYD . Welcome to HYD bro

This car and the chevy forester were introduced too early. Would have been a runaway success now
