The Ford Aspire deserves to sell in more numbers
The Aspire’s ride is good, the ground clearance isn’t an issue and the brakes are strong too. The cluster could be better looking though and the top-end variant should have got better headlights, a projector set-up with LED DRLs would be nice as the segment leader offers the same. That said, with Ford offering the lowest cost of ownership in the segment, I still don’t understand why the Aspire isn’t selling as much as it should. Maybe the Freestyle is cannibalising it or Ford doesn’t have a presence in tier 3 and 4 markets where demand for compact sedans is soaring. Whatever said and done, once you drive an Aspire, it’s difficult to drive any other car in the segment with a wide grin!

The instrument cluster looks too basic
