Ford Fiesta Diesel Review
I got the opportunity to drive this car today while getting back from Delhi. Personally I never like American Cars (Ford, GM etc.) but still I did drive it coz I had no choice. This car I would say is a much better product than the ford IKON. The vehicle is comfortable and Engine has a better performance than Ford IKON. All the controls (as usual in American Cars) are just opposite to that of the other cars. Wipers at the right hand side and the light controls at the left hand. I had to go through the manual to turn on the Headlights, you just can’t see it normally since it’s provided at the back of the steering wheel near to the Ac vents at the Driver’s side. The high beam and low beam is also not the same, when you want to change the beam fastly in Hyundai and Toyota Cars, you just need to pull the beam lever and it will go back to low beam again as soon it is released, in Ford Fiesta, if you pull the lever the high beam will get permanent and you will have to pull the lever again for the low beam (that was uncomfortable). Personally I liked the drive and comfort.

I was not just satisfied after writing my last post about the Ford Fiesta, I want to write more, so a comparison with by Sweety Hyundai Accent is here.
Ford Fiesta I agree is a better variant than the Ikon but not better than the Accent CRDI. The Vibration is the Accent CRDi is less than the Fiesta and Driving comfort is too better in the Accent. Both the vehicles has the approximately the same Fuel efficiency but I have heard from friends and relatives that Milage of Ford Fiesta is 18-19 kmpl which I am getting 16-17 Kmpl in the

Thousands of people are keen to know the price of newly-showcased Figo by Ford Motors. This will be the first small car produced by the US company Ford Motors. The expected price of the car is speculated to be between $6000 to $8000 but to know the exact price the customers will have to wait a little more as the company abstains from making any direct comments on the price of the new model set on launch.
Which means a pretty large bunch of cars as competition That might change the entire game is the

Hyundai Accent: Review after 1,00,000 Kms
I have a Hyundai Accent CRDi, the Diesel variant which I bought about 3 years back from Udaipur, Rajasthan. The car is as good as new (the engine) even after running 1,00,000 kms. One of my very good friends bought the same car at the same time and even with the same color. The only reason we chose this car was because of its powerful CRDi engine 82 Bhp @ 4400 rpm which I think was not available in any other car of the same category. This was a new technology at that time, which
When it comes of increasing the price, the petroleum companies in India and eager to do increase the prices of Diesel, petrol and natural gases. When the global crude prices touched $75 per barrel, the prices of Diesel and Petrol were increased by Rs 4 and Rs 2 respectively. Now when the fuel prices are hovering around $59 per barrel of crude, then nobody is ready to bring down the prices. I personally feel that there should be fuel regulatory authority in India also to control the fuel prices on monthly basis at least, like the TRAI does with the

Kaminey is the best Bollywood film I’ve seen this year. It’s an audacious, original rollercoaster ride. Written and directed by Vishal Bharadwaj Kaminey requires patience and attention but the pay off is more than worth it. The film has eleven-odd characters that you need to keep track of. Snatches of dialogue are in Bengali and Marathi. If you look away from the screen to send a text message, you might miss another twist in this very, very tangled tale.
There's another star in KAMINEY and that's 'Dhan Te Nan'. Your heart starts beating faster every time
