Ford Aspire [2015-2018] User Reviews

Exterior

 Looks are good. Best in its segment. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Dashboard looks stylish, cabin space good, comfortable for long journey.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine(petrol) is just a looser. It feels like ford installed an autoriksha engine in car. You press accelerator and all you get nothing from the engine. At hills you will find hard to move even with first gear and if AC is on then forget about even moving forward. Engine literally starts begging "Please turn off AC and then push me". 

Ride Quality & Handling

Handling is good. Ride quality is slightly on stiffer side. You will feel bumps entering into cabin. 

Final Words

Just dont buy it and worst is their service. The AC filters are choked in just 3 months and they are telling that we need to replace it. Bad smell entering into cabin with AC ON and they say that we are not able to find out the issue, really!!!. 

The people at service stations are rude and technically incpompetent. 

Areas of improvement  

None, just stop producing shit.

 

Looks, comfort, Rear leg space is adequate.Pick up sucks, Mileage sucks, AC is just more than sucks.

On 24th September, 2017 I have called by Body Shop Manager of Pahwa Ford and he told me that, engine has been seized and asked me for insurance papers. Although I have submitted insurance papers but still I am not able to understand how engine has been seized for this minor level of water and nothing happened in other vehicles. Problem seems in Ford vehicles only. Although I have given Insurance papers, I will not pay a single penny for anything weather it will be done or not done by insurance or dealer. Its seems technical problem in Ford Vehicles only.

This is the first rain (Yes its first rain only) for my New Ford Figo aspire and I am returning from my office and this has happened. I am afraid and worried how i will continue with this vehicle in long run of 8-10 years. 3-4 months rain occurs in North India and in first rain, Aspire has shown his class ENGINE SEIZED. Also I have taken feedback from many persons, if problem arises in Engine, how well and effectively it will be repaired but it will not work well like new engine. Problem will keep on arising in future.

I request you to call this vehicle in your plant for full checkup of technical problem and kindly replace my vehicle or return my hard earned money as its only 3 months old and even the ribbons on the vehicle are intact and engine has seized. Seems I have made mistake of going for Ford.

As it does not even completed 3 months, you can imagine my situation. I am too worried about running of my Ford Figo Aspire in future now and request you consider for replacement of vehicle or return of money.

LooksPoor Design - Not as per Indian Roads

Exterior Front grill gives good look to the vehicle. Ground clearance may not enough in speed breakers. Zig zag driving may require to avoid collision with the ground since the height of speed breakers in rural area may un-predictable.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Leg room, shoulder room, head rooms are enough if two persons sit on the rear seat. If three travellers shoulder room may not enough. Boot space is enough to carry 5 hand luggages and minor things. Rear window must have a space to keep water bottle. Arm rest is required for driver.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox No hurdles during gear shifting and overall performance is good.

Ride Quality & Handling I felt no tired even driven this vehicle for 2100 km in two days. Smooth handling, Driving comfort.

Final Words Very nice car for long driving which I had ever felt with other competetive companies like maruthi, hyundai etc.

Areas of improvement Mileage, Arm rest, Glove box to rear passengers.

Driving Comfort, Overall vehicle performance during long driveMileage

Exterior Has to be the best looking compact sedan. hands down. Great design specially the front view. The grill are too beautiful which makes it stand out among other cars of this segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very spacious. Good for 5 average size people, dont beleive other reviews which say otherwise. Practical space utilisation.Good legroom for everyone.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very smooth refined engine. Petrol version that I have its totally noiseless. Shouldve had more power and requires more gear changing to cope up with the change in speed.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb. For a beginner like me the confidence it gives is flawless. Ride quality is among the best.

Final Words If you are looking for an all-round package, please go with this! You will be happy with looks, price, features and driving aesthetics. Have driven Amaze, Dzire and i20, trust me with this you will feel more satisfied.

Areas of improvement Petrol engine needs to pull more power at lower speeds. Features like reverse parking camera and sensors should come as default not as add-ons.

Ride handling. Great looks. Very practical.Not a great mileage. Underpowered petrol engine.

My car was delivered with dangerous fault. It's brake pedal becomes irresponsive sometimes suddenly when I am driving bumper to bumper traffic at speed 20 or so. It becomes responsive after all the damage is already happened. I have to act in micro seconds on clutch to prevent bang on car ahead of me.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is great, dash board looks very interesting, space is fine, whenever we driving this in 100+ feel very stable inside, back seat having good space for three people & it’s comfortable you can’t bore in this car if you u driving or seating back side. Music system is also good

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox For engine performance On 1st and 2nd gear it’s an great start but its feel hanging on 3rd gear, in city its engine response is very well, also on highways 100+ can easily reach with stable driving, no need to accelerate more its really smooth.

Gear box is very smooth & easy to handle . its butter smooth when riding in heavy traffic

Fuel economy is only cons what I feel in this car. I drive my car nearly 1000 km till my overall avrage is 15KM/L. not that much happy with fuel economy.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is really great and felling ossum to ride this car , power staring is very much responsive.

Overall handling is good feeling very good whenever you driving it on highways its really smooth.

Final Words Overall this car is good for who want more than hatchback, this is the best car in this segment don’t think about ford parts which is costly, just feel this car.

Areas of improvement Power of engine at third gear, back side exterior look, fuel economy.

front look ,overall handlingthird gear need more power, fuel economy

Exterior The car looks good and has a good road presence.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The seats are not comfortable , the electrinic switches ( AC and lights ) cannor be operated while the car is in motion the positioning of driver seat is such if you are above 6 ft the knee touches the right side door .

The company fitted auto AC is crap either it blows you head off or it makes you sweat abslout waste of expectation.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy sucks - any style you drive it. Gear box is fine but the car has a lag in lower gears, over taking or initian speed is an isseue .

I dont know why they have given 8x1000 rmp ( it must be a joke).

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handleing is good , wheels could have been 185

Final Words Average car do not buy if you are looking for a family car which is econimical. Go for a swift P its much better.

Areas of improvement Switch positioning.

boot space , cabin stablity - noise reduction , storage insideFuel economy, egronomics of AC and lights positioning , inferior engine.

Exterior Nice and perfect. Front wind screen glass rubber fitting started to came out. So poor fitting.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Scare comfort is ok but dashboard look is poor, and space for addition futures like fixing nevigation screen. Compacary to purchse accories from ford dealer which are costly.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good but very low milaege 18 KM/L. compare to Maruti its costly for that.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good 

Final Words Over all ok but not running economical cost.

Areas of improvement Milaege need to improve, and ford service provider are not providing proper support or guidence after sales, At the time of purches all ok. Not providing free examination. Ford need to improve after sale service and running milaege of cars. As per specification car need to provide at least 25 KM/l Milaege but after 4000 KM it comming 18 KM/l. After completing for that the answer is that it will comes afer 10000 KM run. Mostly the mileage detorate after the long run but reverse.

Engine performance is good and body is tough and dashingMileage is tool very low comp to maruti, not able to put navigation screen. Mobile holder not ok

Exterior Overall good exterior style. Eye catching front and side view. Looks like a bigger car. The best looking compact sedan with the sexy Aston Martin Grill.  The body just goes in, even when a kid pushes the door or bonnet. Does not feel sturdy.The doors and bonnets are miss aligned. There is a gap even the door closed so that dust stay inside the door panel.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Decent.Comfortable seating. Lacks in Storage spaces in back row. Instrument cluster is poor. Door locks should be improved. The music system is very good and the sound is descent enough.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performs good. Poor Fuel Efficient in City.The gearbox feels good and does the job.  Engine performance is something which is boast of more refined than dezire and amaze. NO CD player.no lag in gear change. With 17 kmpl fuel economy is good on highway.

Ride Quality & Handling Meeting expectation. Smooth handling and control. Feels the suspension transfers some part of bumps to the cabin. Rear thigh support makes it hard for long drive for taller passengers. The handling is pretty good and this is a driver’s car.

Final Words Value for money Car with decent looks and good performance. I have already completed 16k kms in my car and I am in love with it.

Areas of improvement Interiors,Rear a/c vent missing, Wheels to be upgraded, Service Centres.

Style, Features for the price, EngineLess mileage in city, Less ground clearance and smaller wheels for Indian Conditions
