Ford Figo [2012-2015] User Reviews

Exterior - Great Look for Behind,Looks like Eagle Beak front sideview,Can't match the beauty and bulky body look of i20 or Swift but has its own style

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) - Very nice interior,good leg space, comfortable for 3 people at rear to sit,powerfull AC.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox - Have driven 10,000km and performance is superb.Mileage on Mumbai-Pune High way is above 22KMPL.In Western Express Highway in Mumbai Mileage at peak hours is around 13-14KMPL. Every sign of great car by FORD.

Ride Quality & Handling - Very easy handling and no problem at all.Get used to car very easily.

Final Words- Have been driving on average 40-50km/day and I love my car.It was my 1st choice from day 1, I saw it on Delhi roads near Ford show room in 2009.But got capability to purchase only this year in March'12 and by the time I had done numerous reviews and I must say this car has not disappointed me at all on any areas in last 10 months.Today completed 10,000KM and also got 2nd service done and now looking ahead to next 10K km run on smooth basis and I m sure it will pass all tough road conditions and keep taking me & my wife to our destinations comfortably.

Areas of improvement - Steering mounted audio controls,though new model has this feature but its not really on the steering but on the side,Rear Wiper only available in top model, this should be made a mandatory for all segment of cars in India considering the monsoon season length of India.

Comfortable ride,Excellent Music System, Powerful AC,Great Leg SpaceNone for this price

My car has touched 30k kms... As we bought the car last dec.. its been one year from its delivery I didn complaint any difficulties to the service persons... here is my review.

Exterior

 A decent exterior tat has no premium designs available in swift, i20, beat ect....

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Best in class space... if u r travelling mostly with big luggages figo will be the best choice.... Music system has got a unique attraction in this car. The bluetooth connectivity and sound quality is awesome.. AC is very good as it cools the car quickly..but still if we stop t car for some time the coolness wipes out quickly.. leg room is very good, so it gives a comfort ride. I feel the instruments positioning is very handy... we dont need a steering mounted audio controls, its very opt to handle...

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 A small lag upto 1000rpm... after it will fly in the air... from my experience Figo can chase any car except the high end models.. If u maintain speed from 80-100 u'll get a milage of about 20-23 kmpl... Gear box is little hard but still its not an issue... maintaing the rpm for 2000 till 4th gear will give u good milage... but its has a poor milage in city traffic as it gives only 15-17 due to frequent gear shifting... while maintaining at 80kmph with AC , u cant hear the sound of a disel engine.. it'll be very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling

 The uniqueness stands here.. No other cars in this segement has this much of strong handling and ride quality. Its a car for long drives.. As i drove the car in Kerala, where there a so many curves, the car gives me a confident to finish the curve without applying the brakes... It also smoothly handles poor roads.. Now the major drawback is.. it'll kiss all the speed brakes.

Final Words

 @30000 Kms me and my family are well satisfied with the car, its build quality is very good.i don have any complaint to tell to the service ppl as of now... service is also very good as my service center is Rajshree ford @ coimbatore TAMILNADU... they gives good advice and timely delivery of the vehicle.

Areas of improvement  

 Rear power windows, ground clearence, headlamp , Horn(need a dual horn)

 

Riding quality, Music System, Braking, Space, Comfort, ACGround Clearence..

Buying experience good. Car performance is good. Service and spare cost is in budget. Mileage is excellent in my diesel version. Harpreet ford service is good. Nice response from ford customer care as well. Power full machine. Ground clearance feels less sometime. Happy to use this from last seven years

Exterior

 Exterior not that great. Ford should have spend some time and money on designing the car, instead chose to mix IKON and FUSION into one

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Smart interiors. Good inbuilt music system. Music control on the steering wheel was desirable. Comfortable seats with good leg room.

Bluetooth connectivity to mobile phone is simply superb. Dashboard is huge.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I am not a mechanical expert, but engine, gear box seems to be responsive. Fuel economy confirmed by company is 20/ltr, it only need to be seen how much real is this

Ride Quality & Handling

 Menourability is good. Same as most cars in this segment

Final Words

 Value for money. Could have had some more features to make it fully loaded like the BEAT.

Areas of improvement  

 If BEAT is able to offer so many features + 3 years service, I think Ford need to think on same line. It will really make this Car a proud asset to own

 

Height adjustment, BluetoothNo 60:40 rear seat split

Exterior Few colors gives satisfactory looks not a bad idea.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Cheep even compare to TATA? Let’s take any small car interior colors are impressive manufactures can cost cut the plastic but provide impressive colors to overcome. Though dash board give new look color combination is not up to the mark.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox No comments as Fieast proved it.

Ride Quality & Handling Let’s have a test drive car fully loaded (load as well car variant), Executive express when you ask about inside noise or vibration---vehicle is used to use it with different drivers. So what. I am the owner of Ford diesel (2 variants) last7 yrs. I am not satisfied for the service or performance of the few ford vehicles (especially Diesel). After 30000Km driven inside noise not acceptable if you want to fix it spend more than one part or repair.

Final Words Good to have low mileage users, by the time you complete your EMI for the loan U seek for change I will bet You.

Areas of improvement  Service Customer satisfication and quick response for complaints.

yes real competitive model in this segment of all aspectsGround clearance, narrow options for top end and lower with huge price tag

 

A car brand should understand their responsibility doesnt end at selling a car to the consumer, they even have to be equally pro active in providing after sales service, Ford definitely has the worst after sales service amongst all car brands and I am suffering for 1 and half months for their service centres inadequate knowledge about their own cars, I had taken my car to bhavna ford service centre on 6th september and havent got my car back yet, there was some gear oil leakage when they had examined and there is a heating problem in the car which they took more than a month to detect and they have not yet resolved it in the past one and half months, and the company is not responsive to emails, none of them have the courtesy to reply and the owner of Bhavna ford has a fake email id on their website, the emails never go through, the company doesnt even have the courtesy to provide an alternate vehicle of transport and its making its cosumers suffer, I repent the decision about buying a Ford Figo and I wish I had known about their behaviour and inefficient service centres earlier.

Comfortable, good styleBad service, heating problem, noisy

Exterior It has a sober yet neatly designed exterior. It suits to all age. Its sharp eyes will attract the young mass and the back will pull in middle aged customers. Has a good paint finish with a strong clear coat on em. The bumper and the surrounding body is very resilient that u dont need to worry about the frequent hits in the bumper to bumper traffic. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lots and lots of space both at the rear and front. The front seats almost fold back nearly upto 180 degree until its hit by the back seat. U can sleep comfortably. There are many cubby holes to clear things from your pocket. one can easily place a 1 litre bottle on each door. plastic quality though not upto the mark of german rivals is worth the cost u pay and far better than maruti and tata. There is a slight engine noise in the cabin.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The 1.4 duratorq is a fun to drive machine. the engine is as smooth as a butter. Work through the gears properly and you wont even know when the turbo kicks in and goes off. Very linear. The sweet thing about this engine is u can be atleast a gear more than u should be. the engine pulls away easily. Many say u dont need the first gear in a diesel. No. it isn't so. shift to the first as soon as you go below 10kmph. i am still in the run in period and a new engine is supposed to give poor mileage until the cylinder walls are worn out an bit. I get around 12kmpl in peak city traffic.

Ride Quality & Handling Run through all small pot holes with ease. The suspension will soak it. be careful with manholes when the car is fully loaded. its tends to scrape the bottom. Steering is a joy to use. very fast in response and one will enjoy flicking the wheel. brakes are mind blowing. what ever is the speed and how hard you brake, the car remains very stable. Thanks to the ABS unit.

Final Words Its a perfect indian car and can easily surpass other competitors for itds value for money.

Areas of improvement People at ford say that the rear manual window is for child safety. I personally hate it. 

Lots and lots of space, gear ratios that match Indian trafficRear manual windows and no alloy wheels

Exterior Good looks from the front, however back end needs better styling.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are good and VFM. AC is great & Music system is amazing.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox After driving 12,000 Kms, Engine gets noisy and vibrates on long drives. Fuel economy since day 1 has been pathetic giving an average of 8-9Kms in city driving with AC, once when the ABS stopped working for some time the mileage in the city went up to 11Km. However on Mum-Ahmd trip it did 15Kms when the car had completed 9000 Kms driving. The car has a slow pick up and when on a highway it feels you are crawling untill u pass 60-70 Km speed, then it really picks up but does not cross 110-120 Km speed barrier even if u have held the acceralator down for more than 1 minute. The most funny part is it does not climb on an incline even in 2nd gear, you have to come into the 1st gear and only then does it respond even basic city flyovers cannot be climbed at low speeds of 20-30km in 2nd gear. The engine cooling Fan gives trouble and makes a lot of noise as it is used as a two-in-one component. 

Ride Quality & Handling True to Ford style ride quality and handling are good, negotiating turns at high speed is not a problem. I switched from an M.Alto to a Figo and believed i landed in heaven when it comes to dirving experience.

Final Words Its a Value for Money Car for features provided, however the value stops when Fuel economy pops up, which people realise only after buying one. The Petrol it consumes is to die for, good for weekend family travels in and around the city. NOT IDEAL FOR DAILY USE unless petrol is not a problem.

Areas of improvement Service Centres are few and hence they dont care about customers. Complaints given are shrugged off and excuses provided every time. No real check is done to ensure that the complaints are rectified. Just the rountine things are handled.

Handling, Space & Value for MoneyFuel Economy, Pick-up on slope & Service Centres.

I am one of the happiest Figoer since 2010. I am 58, have used many cars in India and abroad but Figo is close to my heart - Black Figo with Alloy wheels.

Exterior Superb, Beats any car - any segment, excellent driving visibility, head light throw needs improvement, Good Window Sizes thus good feeling. Brio or Celerio or i20...nothing can beat Figo.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very Comfortable Seats - both front and back. Arm rest addition will make it a Super Star.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox While the rest of Figo is a love story, the Fuel Economy is the villain. Even dubba cars from Nissan & Maruti give more than 13 kmpl av on city roads Figo gives only 11 kmpl (petrol). If this is solved Figo will become the super car.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb. As good as any top end cars - sedans

 Final Words If Ford India happens to lose the market inspite of such a car without improving the basic few things they would be the damnest fools in this world, both as individuals and as well as industrialsit technocrats.

Areas of improvement As above, mentioned. Only a few things.

Sporty Looks, Grip/Stability on high speeds, Audio, Space, overall Quality, comforts, moneys worth,Fuel economy, tilt steering, spares cost, head lights, road level clearance
