Ford Figo [2012-2015] User Reviews

 

Exterior The only thing good in the car.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Feels like roof will touch the head any time when you are at rear seat.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Low on milage, Feels like one elephant is sitting of roof  and car needs more power. i had driven it drinking fuel @ 14kmpl on a drive to hilly tarrain of 360 km with AC On.

 

Ride Quality & Handling The car loves kissing speadbreakers. may be the suspensions are more bouncy or whatever.

 

Final Words Milage is one point which is going to affect you in long run. Figo gives 14-18 kmpl compared to 18 to 22 kmpl ( swift diesel: I own swift VDI (ABS) millage: 20+ kmpl). if you use car for atleast 80k kms the fuel cost will be 19,000 - 22000 Rsmore for Figo. but at the same time you will be driving a car (Figo) which lacks power and kills excitement of driving. I would not recommend buying it. ( No offence ment for ford lovers).

 

Areas of improvement Power delivery, milage.

 

Looks, paint quality, interiorsEngine performance (power lacking), Low milage

1) Buying experience I bought this after it suited the standards I needed for the price I expected and it satisfied what I expected. 2) riding experience The ride quality of Ford Figo is absolutely superb you don't feel any kind of lag in the engine its power delivery is very good as it is powered by 1400cc of engine which gives the necessary power required by the car and it's steering control is good and handling is superb there is no issue in ride quality. 3) details of looks and performance Though the interior is not great as it is compared to it's rivals but the build quality is decent and the plastic used is good. 4)pros and cons Pros Good ride quality Better engine Best in class based on the price Cons Lower height may cause uneasy for tall people No power windows for rear windows

Actually ford is one of the best car manufacturers in India..... i was used figo zxi diesel last 7 years,oves all ford is manufacturing outstanding car but fuel economy is poor this time, now it was solved .....i love ford

 

Exterior Preety good as compared to other Hatch backs. sleek mirrors, Good Electric adjustable mirrors.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice Shades to the Clutch, Steering wheel, Seats, Boot space very handy.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gear box less noisy, Clutch/Accelerator pedal preety smooth, Break pedal Little rigid.

Ride Quality & Handling Indicators on right side and lift side of steering wheel preety easy to control, Hand a little bit slippery on the steering wheell without leather cover.

Final Words Awesome pick from the Hatch backs in markets. Also good if you are a learning driver coz the car adjusts according to your way of driving and not the other way around. Nobody can beat the car in terms of Functionality and Price coz  its the only car that has so many feature like Bluetooth, Music system, Electric adjustable mirrors ets at a price around 5.30 Lacs.

Areas of improvement Overall Length of the car will give it a look like a VW POLO.

Extrrior look, Interiors, Bluetooth, Comfort........Glove box slightly bigger would be nice...

Exterior A great looking car. Good looks both from the front and back, especially from the back contray to what is said in a lot of reviews.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious. more leg room at the back.Even a six footer like me found it bearable.But interior looks a bit ordinary. looks plasticky.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Responsive engine. But fuel economy in chennai city with ac on is around 12 kms.A bit disappointing even after 1800 kms. Dealer says that mileage will improve after first service.But i doubt whether it will come to 14 kms.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good.Picks up power in turbo mode.

Final Words By the way it is my son who drives the car. I just wrote his experiences. Its A great looking car.

Areas of improvement Low fuel economy. Fuel economy is lower than the competition. Ford should concentrate in this area as in india mileage is a very important factor than most other things.

Good looks both from the front and backLow fuel economy

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good but god forbid if AC fails then it would require you to take multiple trips to their workshop to set it right.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox performance is ok but engine is too loud as compared to diesel engine in swift or any other car. Turbo lag is quite evident in low speeds.

Ride Quality & Handling Ok but has got low ground cleranace. so please be careful when driving through potholes and speed breakers.

Final Words It is a good looking car with poor build quality and pathetic service. As per the service advisor in ford workshop the figo has got inherent problem of poor bender support and hence AC pipe getting cut is a common problem in this car.

Areas of improvement Improve Build quality and for heaven sake train the techicians working in your dealer workshop. Also sensitise them on how to handle customers. The experience at authorised workshop was much worse then roadside vendors.

LooksPoor Build Quality and Pathetic Service

Exterior Remove extra profile over wheel it may cause side touching, Over all look is good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Normal interior, back side seat not set if once disturb.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Spare parts and service very costly, During 2 and half year eigine is good but noise is more than other deisel vehicle some time feel knocing during long drive. Fuel economy normal as 17-18 per km should compete 25 per KM, Gear box is not mutch smooth some time feel play.

Ride Quality & Handling During long drive feel knocking handling not perfact drive slow other wise may get accident.

SO SO Quality.

Final Words Not a long life vehicle may be used as second support vehicle for local drive within 50 kilometer. door setting always required frequently. Very mutch problem due to road crearance Always car have to drive carefully over speed braker and jig jag and diging roads due to long distance withing front and rear wheel and soft shocker. it becomes uncomfotable to drive Ford figo.

Areas of improvement Suspension,Shocker ,road clearance belt pully quality, brake system should be inprove, Make some diffrent colour dash board other than only red,

Music system - volume control failed. Spare parts cost should reduce.

Normal fuel consumption 17-18 deiselExtra flap over wheel should be remove

 

Exterior, Subjective, but I feel it's decent

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort). Good space, even rear seats more comfortable, when compared Swift / Ritz, Dash board looks can be improved.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Engine performance is awesome, no doubt best in the class, most popular Fiat 1.3 DDiS engine can not compete with it. Fuel economy is not great, when compared to it’s peers, I get around 15 to 17, in city less than 15 KM, Gear box is not smooth, seem a old version of bus, and clutch is hard.

 

Ride Quality & Handling: Superb Raid quality no doubt on it, no where Swift / Ritz matches it, Good handling or control. You have confidence in any rural road till 80KM and 120 in highway.

 

Final Words: I am done with 7,000 KM, If you want enjoy raiding quality / control, space, comfort on long drive go for it, however you need compromise on mileage alone. And it’s defiantly a highly car, if your usage is more in City think twice.

 

Areas of improvement: Mileage, ground clearance, gear box, clutch.

Exterior Looks like sedan from front, specially white one(not a good option for sporty look but it is for those people who likes to carry a personality like owing a sedan car.)

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Huge space like sedan in front and rear as well, I am 6.1 ft still remains 5 inch gap, huge leg space also boot space is good for trip.

Music system is awesome it has Great clarity and bass as well also every connectivity it has like Bluetooth.DVD/CD,USD Aux, 3.5 mm audio in, I love the the Bluetooth connectivity, like take calls or you can watch a movie with car audio bass, it will feel like theater inside if you have 10 inch tab, just mount that in windshield by a car mobile/tab stand.

Simply every small thing it has inside ,like bottle holders, 12 v output for car charger, hand rest on all four doors, and all others like auto central lock after 7 km/h, child lock , adjustable headrest in front seats, where i10 dose the cost cutting here. even coat hook it has for hanging  option.

It is an American brand, so no hidden cheating is done here for cost cutting, you will see differences in perfection of finishing in interior, from any Indian makers , who cheats some where by singing a song of mileage, car is not all about mileage, if you have that worry go for bike not car. As people don't know how good mileage comes by doing several compromises in making, by making thin doors , body , and thin tires also  even by making that lower cc cars like 800/1000 cc instead of 1200 cc which maters for high speed stability also. even the bigger height will increase the air friction , figo's aerodynamic is impressive for high speed driving. also figo now giving apolo tires like Duster which is better that Good Year tires previously.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Realible Engine , gear and clutch is so smooth to handle. Speedometer has 220 max where i10, swift has 180 max, you can touch 170 km/h in figo , I have petrol 1.2 EXI.

Power is good , this kind of car which don't have that  initial throttle but have enough torque to beat any hatchback in highway in long run as it has that top speed and also the stability in high speed, see figo top speed video in you-tube. Only need know the top speed driving skill when you will wish to drive , try to get maximum out of 4th gear like upto 90 km/h then engage 5th, if road is clear, and smooth figo can touch 175 km/pl even, enogh to beat any hatch. huge stabilty also in high speed.

Ride Quality & Handling As a driver, steering control is fabulous, power steering is very good, it has hydraulic power steering which don't falls certain like electric power steering.

Final Words You can Definately buy figo, but you don't buy Indian makers car, try to buy Ford, Honda, Volkswagen, Renault or Nissan.

Remember, though Hyundai is a Korean  brand still it is  going on maruti's way to capture market by doing several cost cutting recently. Try to avoid Hyundai,tata, mariti and  even Chevrolet's small cars.

Areas of improvement I heard some problems with dearship, but my Ganges Ford in Kolkata is very good, I hope Ford will retain that and will incearse the service centers, But Okay From me, You will not need so many services for figo for sure.

Looks, Interriors, Riding Comfort, Space, Music System , AC , High Speed Stability and many othersMialage Little bit , and power when AC on and fully loaded ,still Good
