Again .. the most detailed review. Thumbs up guys. Very very well done!!!

[@motoroids]

Thanks for your appreciation

[@Shaktigps]

Best review seen till date, unbiased clear and to the point I have made my mind for this baby because of the safety features it offers.

[@motoroids]

Thanks

[@YogeShuchi]

Titanium also comes with ARP, u have mistaken please correct it.

[@elroyrodrigues3913]

Yes.. The Titanium variant comes with Hill Hold Assist, ARP, Traction control, ESP, ABS with EBD and 2 Airbags..

Give the guy a a break , he couldnt even breathe

[@hareeshdevendran4696]

My suggestion Split into 2 part video Part 1 - Driving, dynamics , handling , mileage and other mechanical things , ride Part 2 - exterior , interior , space , features , build quality etc The reason is many people want small and short video, if they say 25 mins of car video,they will skip the video Also many people don't want to watch features and all , they want only driving and mileage , so that's why splitting is good idea

[@motoroids]

Thanks for your suggestions

[@faizanmairaj]

for the first time i have seen such a detailed review... thanks a lot... Stay Blessed!!!

[@motoroids]

Thanks :-)

[@udaychitnis1904]

Excellent and crisp review! Keep it up!👍👌

[@motoroids]

Thanks. Do share with friends who may find it useful

[@hareeshdevendran4696]

Your content is good Each minute I spent here is useful But the moment a person sees 23 minutes on a car video , he is going to scroll down, especially if he is looking for driving of car and not the features , space etc. So my suggestion is split this into two parts Part 1 - driving , handling , engine and other mechanics ,mileage Part 2 - exterior , interior., Space , features , variants etc

[@PankajRajbhandari]

Went through your review regarding Ford Freestyle but there is no mention of Front wheel drive or rear wheel drive. I hope this is also one of the most needed part. I have expected in your review but no one do mention about this point. Cause this makes much more difference in your driving.

[@motoroids]

It's a front wheel drive. Sorry for not mentioning it. Thanks for your feedback

[@Shankar-Bhaskar]

Nice, no nonsense, detailed review. Can we change the tyres to R16 195/60 without compromising on the performance of the car?

[@motoroids]

Thanks. Upsizing without keeping aspect ratio in mind will affect the performance. Your acceleration will reduce, though top speed will increase slightly.

[@Shankar-Bhaskar]

Motoroids Thanks.

Freestyle vs Aspire Both diesel for highways and ride quality?

Swift, Freestyle

Sir, I am from a small town. My home space is less i.e. for garrage as well as budget is tight. Should I go for Ford Freestyle in terms of Service, Maintenance, Bad Road Performance, Mileage,Driving as well Seating Comfort,etc ????? Please suggest PERSONALLY, as I really trust your views.

[@tajen2024]

Motoroids yes, I will. BTW, Freestyle crossbar can take weight upto 50 kg. Can we mount a roof rack and carry luggage within the weight range? I am asking this as Ford India is showing only cycles being carried in the roof in their ad. Ford dealers are clueless about mounting a roof rack. I think most people in India will like to use a roof rack to carry luggage.

You are just asking the Indian public to change their preference from mileage to safety and build quality. I don't think this would happen that easy. Maruti is happy bullying public with their tin trash...

If safety is big on your list, consider the Freestyle. The Swift too is a proven product though, and is recommendable. There will be some difference in fuel efficiency too, Swift being notably better than the Freestyle

@@motoroids why not ford

[@savithabaimalleshanaik2632]

@@motoroids why not freestyle ?

[@dineshr1531]

I would prefer Freestyle over Swift as Freestyle shines in every aspect. Better handling, steering, ride quality, build quality, braking, safety and a lot of features right from lower trims. The only part where Swift scores is the motor but Ford is not too behind. It is refined for a 3 cylinder unit and a good performer too. Most of time people wont even realise the absence of the 4th cylinder. Though it doesn't rev freely as the kseries motor, the high revving dragon doesn't feel strained even at 6000 rpm and there is adequate power in topend. Therefore Freestyle makes a lot of sense over Swift.

[@honesttalker596]

kanishq ruhil maybe but freestyle still sucks

[@debapratimchowdhury6991]

kanishq ruhil no doubt freestyle built like a tank compare to wafer thin swift. Plus segment leading ground clearance...👍👍 But IMHO if they add adjustable rear headrests along with 60:40 rear seat split feature then it becomes more attractive package which it already is.

[@jithinramesh3022]

kanishq ruhil understand the context in which he is making the statement. He is just saying that non adjustable headrests is a deal breaker for him...no one is comparing build quality

[@sgzb69]

In addition to the deal breaker list apart from headrest and 60:40 split seats are no dead pedal, and lack of space in rear doors which comes handy in keeping lot of stuff like bottle, umbrella etc. Not complaining cos as a trade-off u get TCS, Hill-Hold assist, roll over protection etc

[@ranjansahu11]

Only big negative is the lack of head restraints at the rear.

Well, Ford wants to sell a high crossover hatch at a big discount to the real crossovers. They think there's market for such cars. Missing headrest is really a problem

Polo is better to drive, but is expensive to maintain. The Freestyle is also much less expensive and can soft road a little better

[@puneetsingh.R.]

I owned vw polo Highline ...it is best in segment .... maintenance cost , weak ground clearing, and poor service stations, less thigh space in rear seats, no hill assist is, poor breaks is a big downside however smooth power steering, promising fuel efficiency (diesel)great swift pickup {70% more than swift😊} , excellent cruise{ tycoon of hatchback cruisers), great manoeuvring discipline, less parking space requisite, beautiful diesel engine voice ( not noise), excellent noise proof insulation ( feel of spaceship- it sometimes really thunder my nerves to deliberate open door glass to listen to outside noise of traffic or car even) and powerful AC are great upsides of VW polo. But i am planning to go with freestyle now because the only reson is my hometown is a hill place and non availability of nearby service centre.
