Accidentally I test drove Fiesta Diesel and I was bowled by its ride quality and handling.  I checked with many of our friends here (<a href=\"!66233!http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/sedans\/66233-car-choose-ford-fiesta-exi-limited-edition-swift-dzire-vdi.html\" >http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/sedans&#8230;dzire-vdi.html<\/a>) and finally took a decision and bought the Limited edition model.<\/p>\n<p>The car has completed the first service (5000 km or 3 months, which ever is earlier).  To date I have driven ~ 4200 km.<\/p>\n<p>I thoroughly enjoy the car and one thing I must say is about the fuel efficiency.  I am a very sedate driver and I am able extract great mileage.  My general driving pattern is around 80% in highway and 20% in city with occasional use of AC.  The mileage figures I have listed below is measured on tankful to tankful basis:<\/p>\n<p>Initial Odo reading   Odo reading at refilling   Litres of Diesel filled  Mileage<br \/>\n      387                          1348                       44.07                 21.81<br \/>\n                                     2220                       39.91                21.86  <br \/>\n                                     2877                       30.36                21.62<br \/>\n                                     3903                       43.84                23.37<\/p>\n<p>After the first service the mileage is yet to be checked.  Great efficiency I think.  What is your opinion?.<\/p>\n<p>The happy beginning should have a bitter mix up.  My happy story also has a bitter part.  What is it?
