In mid-2011, Ford released the 1.6S, a sporty variant of the Fiesta petrol. The 1.6S is one of the few Indian sedans that is targetted toward enthusiasts, and is a hoot to drive. A racing blue colour option, body skirts, meaty 15 inch 5 spoke alloys, 195 patch tyres and a boot spoiler give it a stunning profile. The seats come with additional bolstering and funky double stitches, but are a little too soft for comfort over long drives. The engine runs in the same state of tune and churns out a 100 BHP. A stiffer suspension results in an overall better level of handling. Owners report that turn-in is sharper, grip levels are good while body roll is better controlled. The flip side of a firmer suspension is a stiffer ride. The 1.6 S is distinctly harder on its occupants, compared to the standard variants, especially on broken road stretches.
