vikas jindal Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I must congratulate all for being active forum member. well said I have would have tested the vehicle before buying. In fact I did, the good driving of vehicle impressed me. The most disappinting experience for me is after sale response of the FORD and its dealer. The defects I am telling them, they have even failed to observe them or not accepting. I have spend hell of amount on purchase of vehicle, what I am getting in 15L dosen't worth. I own a Innova also. when I compare it with Innove they say we cannot compare Endy with Innova, because they call it a MUV not SUV, perhaps ford understand that Innova is Far better buy. Infact if I compare the Innova is much much better SUV than Endy. On my Ist tyre change I replaced Innova tyres with all terrain Scorpio tyres, that really converted it into a SUV with better ground clearence and better fuel economy. Infact Innova has a far better suspension and ride quality even on roughest of Roads. Doing 140000 kms my Innova's suspension is just perfect with only one front shoker change. After sale service of TOYOTA is excellant. So every one beware of FORD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thackervijay Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 vikas, sorry to hear your experience with ford, are they still the same regarding their behaviour and parts, i mean compared to when you purchased and now after its more then 30K run, do share it as it would help other buyers opting for ford products.

FuelRunGod Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 The case of parts is not true, their prices are coming down steadily over the years. But not so much for the Endeavour. All others do see a price cut this year in the spare parts study. FRG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikas jindal Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 All the suffering car owners. We should, through this forum and through ACI should fight, why the Indian market is offered outdated models. Ford Endeavour is no where visible on Ford's International website. There should be minimum feature specifications for a car in Luxury Segments like Automatic Climate Controls etc. Ford is offering it's top of the line SUV expedition for US$35000 why we are offered a vehicle, which is not even a proper SUV for same price.

BonFre Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 True consumer has to wake up, but its probably got to do with little/no competition. Btw, Endy sells in some Asian Countries too, still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durango Dude Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Your thread remind's me of an Ol' 'Western' movie: "Take a hard ride". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikas jindal Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Well said raj, Scorpio too has similar problem. Only thing which makes difference is what we expect from a premium SUV from Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesapphire Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Well this is a known problem of Endy i.e its bad ride quality...And all magazines and journo's tells this, but not all consumers are known of this things...Prospective buyer needs to do all sort of researches before he buys car so that he gets a good and satisfying product..

BonFre Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Actually budget SUV's suspension is designed keeping in mind high abuse, load carrying & offroad stints. This setup is generally such that ride quality suffers as a trade off. Whereas high end/expensive SUV's tend to strike a balance! So, Vikas if your SUV is a 4x4, enjoy its offroading abilities, otherwise also you could take it on less than paved roads or on the less traveled ones! Edit: Vikas, to the best of knowledge, Endy. is a SUV, maybe with lesser abilities! For offroading, speed is not a prerequisite, Torque is! Let the Torque do the talking on offroad trails, it will feel way better. Safari/Scorpio/Bolero are called SUV's for the heck of it, they are actually people movers with ability to move on cutcha roads!

vikas jindal Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Bornfree, Endy is not atall a SUV, if only high ground clearence is an essence of SUV then it is. Endy, is worse on bad roads, it goes out of control if you are at more than 20kmh on even a slightly rough road. And endy is not a budget SUV, if you call it a budget SUV then where will you place Tata Safari, Scorpio or Bolero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
