Ford Figo [2012-2015] User Reviews

Exterior

This car is not very stylish, but with a very decent look. The car looks good from rear and front. The cat eyed headlamps are kool.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

When you enter the car the first thing you will notice is its space. I found it to be more spacious than swift. The driving seat is very comfortable and is height adjustable. The coral interior is unkool. i really didnt like it. so i booked the ebony version. The electronic ORVM adjustment is very kool with a joystick like control. Buetooth interface with the audio system is very kool, like "Blue and me" in Punto. I connected my mobile phone with the audio system and i could browse my phone book and even i can play music from my phone and play in the car. When the car reaches 7km speed, the central locking gets engaged automatically.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

The car is powered with 1.2 ltr engine. i found the engine very much responsive and good for city drive. The engine comes with power of  Fuel economy can not tell now. i will post the economy once i get my car and drive around 1k. Gear box is good.

Ride Quality & Handling

Figo is very good for city driving as i said above. Handling is very good. Steering is light and accurate.

Final Words

If you are looking for a car with good VFM then go for Figo.

Areas of improvement  

1. Rear power window.

2. Alloy wheels.

3. Steering mounted audio control.

4. Steering adjustable.

 

 

 

 

kool featuresno rear power window

Exterior  its nice to look at, and white colour is appealing 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) space is comfortable for the class. can say better then i20 (my second car) boot space is very impressive. it can accommodate three large size suitcases 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox no noise what so ever (compare to diesel versions), mileage as good as 32 KMPL ( DEL-CHD highway )RPM constant 1750 / speed 80 KMPH/ gear is as good as in any diesel car. 

Ride Quality & Handling ride is good, stick to the road and gives you full control at even high speeds

Final Words At this price and features this is the best beast on road. if compared to  POLO,     i20, etios, all the versions are at least 1.5 lakh costlier then figo. Ford has spent lot of money on safety features. comfort is also taken care of. in recent past there were two major fire accidents (both Maruti models wagon R and swift) and the reason was auto locking of locks when the car caught fire. this kind of problems have been handled well by FORD. even on rough roads the performance is good, till date have not scrapped the surface. 

Areas of improvement At this price its the best.

v good fuel economy, excellent air conditioning,still haven't found one...at this price this is the best

Exterior

 Excellent style,  an attractive curved look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 The  first  thing is  that the interior  is highly  spacious.  The  A.C, though  slightly noisy,  is good.  The  rear  window  scrolls  down to 2/3rd and is safe  for  children.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

The  engine  performs  silently  with  good  pick  up,  smoothly  functioning  gearbox.  I  have purchased  the  petrol  version  of  the car  recently and  even  before  the  first service it  gives an overall mileage of 14.5km/l. On highway it is aronund 16km/l.

Ride Quality & Handling

 The ride quality is simply excellent. I can assure this even with my experience on riding on terrible  roads for few kilometers everyday to reach my rural health centre.  

Final Words

 A value for money car. I would strongly suggest anyone to buy this car if he/she makes a budget of 4.5-5.5 lakh.

Areas of improvement  

 The Ford India ltd should think to provide power window for rear seats. They must avoid using thin plastic covers over rear lamps. 

 

Spacious, excellent styling, good fuel economyNo power window for rear seats, thin plastic covering over rear lamps,

I bought this car in 2014 ..that time very expensive car is there like Swift and i20 .but Ford Figo is in my budget.Heavy vehicle more than Swift and i20.Mileage is 20 plus lack of features

Exterior Gently alluring and pleasing to the eye. dewdrop lights , attractive grill, flowing lines and a gentle curves, long tail lights adding to the mystery, simple yet elegant in design is the Figo

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The feeling of space, that gets you first then the Visibility its superb. AC is super-fast cooling, Music system has great sound, internal Theatre lights great effect.Comfortable front seats, lots of legroom and headroom, passenger in the backseat no complaints yet.  Driving  seat is designed for long drives and have not suffered from any back pain. (1400 km). Steering wheel is well positioned, gear shift is short , rear-view mirrors are really indicative of distance Lots of alerts and safety features. at night cockpit effect. headlight leveller good and Reverse lights very bright. the lights and wipers are reversed but I have adjusted and can live with it, when I have all the rest.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is surprisingly not as loud as I expected,  second gear a little slack initially takes getting used to, shifted from petrol to diesel so expected to drive a truck, but this car is as nippy as a petrol vehicle once you get used to it. Fuel economy pretty good for a new car 17kmpl diesel, 60% highway with AC on. AC on or off does not make any difference to the engine just keeps chugging away. Gearbox is stubby gearshift and one can switch gears quickly. So far having a ball.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is great. No complaints, for once I'm not always looking at the road, this car is built to take the Indian road-scape rather well, NO need for the Handle with care sticker,  Handling is good the hydraulic power steering is solid. and the bumps do not travel to the steering wheel. Very comfortable.

Final Words What can I say, I am falling in love with this car . Loved my Zen and never ever dreamt that another car would take its place, but The Figo has. Well designed, comfortable, and elegant, with a heart stopping price. Go Figure the Figo. It is truly an amazing package.

Areas of improvement The bonnet opener and the lights and wipers. The tailgate opener should be shifted to a safer place.

Soild feel to the car, good response and handlingBonnet opener on the far left. Turn and wiper controls reversed

 

Exterior I could say its not a Funy looking nor an next generation Car . Figo is made to attract people who looks to buy a car who always wants the family memebers to travel along with then... This car has an executive look. Bumpers are built very strongly not like swift, tail lamps are decent, more over the Kinatic Design of the car will help to The aerodynamics are very nice.  The flexible bumpers are good for the bumper to bumper drive in metros.I like the curves FIGO has and this looks like a mini fusion when looks from behind. front is quite gud with full roll over body. Especially while color looks pretty Awesome.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Once you get inside the car u will realize that it is not made for Hatch back customer.. it has a sedan comfort inside, Ford engineers have done an excellent job! i really wonder how they have manged to produce so much of space inside. even a guy who is 6'2 feet can feel the comfort. coming to dash board-- we have two opeions here one CORAL RED and the other BLACK DASH. I believe this is an experiment done by Ford engineers to chage the looks of the car from interior rather than following the same old fashion dashboard.. i dont no about other i like it personally. The Aicon is one of Best in the indian market with 150 Compresser where as Swift is have only 90 Compresser. it has total 4- Modes but i can tell you Figo will not give an opprtunity to go to 4th mode it will chil the entire car will mode 1.. but in summer will have to shift the Mode to 2.

Music system. is again one of Best system what can i say one can enjoy listen songs from this System. Door are powered aswell, Silver Finish at power windows looks pretty fresh. Frabric plastice is of good quality. all and all good space comfort. Wiper as not good quality one but better that other cars in this segment.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox TDCI 1.4 Engine is already proven in the indian market which served Ford Fiesta by give dual combination of power and fuel economy.

I didnot believe intially that Ford can produce a fuel economy cars. But now i strongly regret with my decision because its been proved by Figo. i have travelled so far 691.4kms. i have just filled 44ltrs and achevied these many 691.4KMS. i have travelled in and around Chennain 90% of the Travel with AC on and in City. Beileve it or not i have got a Mileage of 16.7 in city with AC on. first service yet to Finish. it depends again i have not exceeded my Speedo meter 80kms and i try to come to 5th great as soon as possible will helped me to increase the mileage per ltrs.

Gear Box is very smooth strongly built silver coated and couped by rubber looks Fresh, Very responsive.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is excellent, has a very good road grip, especially at the Curves, at high speeds u feel very safe because of Handling i could say it have a quality Handling.

 

Final Words Value for For better than swfit, i10,polo,Micra. a family oriented car.

 

Areas of improvement Rear power window, Ground cleareance, rear view, Ford service.

 

Good Fuel economy, Decent look, Very Comfortable, Responsive engine, good powerrear view, Ground Cleareance, Rear power windows.

 

Exterior Exterior looks are superb, gives and big car look and is strongly built. The lights have been nicely placed and overall design looks nice and practical also. The sea grey color and ebony dash looks great (my choice).

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Pros: Very good music system and super chilly AC. Controls is user friendly. Front panel lighting is purposeful. I don't mind no rear power windows (it is preferable). Space inside is quite large and it gives a big car feel. The absence of steering tilt adjustment does not really matter, as steering position is good. Interiors Finish is nice and the black dash is nice (personally I didn't like coral dash). Boot space is huge. Bluetooth connectivity is a smart feature. The headlight dimming control is innovative. The Distance to Empty meter is nice.   

Cons: 50% opening rear windows is the only con, I am able to think of right now.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The pick up in the second gear is little sluggish, but apart from that there is no problem whatsoever. Even the second gear pick up problem does not really matter much unless you are driving a steep uphill. As of now, I have driven like 500km and fuel economy is somewhere between 11.5 and 12, that in 70-80% city traffic. Hope that it will increase after few months and first service. Gear transition is smooth.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is superb. The Hydraulic Power steering is brilliant and responsive. The suspension is good and passes through bad roads well. Driving is very comfortable and seats are good. Steering position is such that you are in total control of the car.

 

Final Words The car is superb, has lots and lots of features, space and is nice to drive. The steering is very responsive and while driving you can get the feeling that it has a good road presence. At that price, Ford has surely created a winner. FE for petrol car maybe a concern for some after reading reviews. But, practically, FE is similar to other cars in the segment, apart from maybe Maruti cars (which has much lesser features). There is no hidden or extra accessories cost, and I have taken the car as it came from the manufacturer, only seat cover is what I want to get more. If Ford can maintain a good ASS, Figo (both Petrol and Diesel) will go a long way in establishing Ford in India.

 

Areas of improvement Dealership experience was not good. It needs to improve a lot. So, take good reviews of showrooms before deciding. Even better if people can get reviews about good salespersons. Lot of things depends on the salesperson, while you are buying your car. Ford needs to have a look at the second gear pick up problem and the 50% opening of the rear windows.

 

Style, Features, Hydraulic Steering, Space, AC and Music SystemSecond gear pick up and 50% opening rear window

 

Exterior Looks Good.  Design resembles the earlier version but it is good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quite Comfortable on space both in the Front and Rear and the features like Blue tooth is Excellent.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Should be more Peppy. Petrol Engine pickup speed is very low.  Can improve if compared with other cars from Maruti stable.  Mileage is bad at 10KMPL for city and 14 KMPL on Highways.  Should look at improving this.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Good driving comfort.  Have driven at 90 to 100KMPH in highways. Vehicle was perfect.  Service is very poor.  Having used to a Hyundai Service, i feel bad about this car.  Getting time of technicians, fixing up time for meeting is all taking longer time. No good feedback from the service agents on why the chasis hits the ground.  They keep advising that take good roads.  The Car should run only on American Roads and not on Indian roads then.  Ford has to face the fact and improve the Chasis.  This is the very bad design.

 

Final Words Improve Ground Clearance, Improve Mileage and a bit of pickup and this is the best car. Till then this sells because of pricing and not because of the value.

 

Areas of improvement Need to improve the Ground Clearance Mandatorily otherwise car will loose in the long run.  Rear Window should be fully foldable and Mileage should be atleast 12 in the city and 17 in the Highways.

 

Good space & Advaced FacilitiesChasis too low With 2 persons on rear hits the ground, Rear Window

 

Exterior OWNERS PRIDE, EXCELLENT LOOKING NEIGHBOUR ENVY.THE DESIGN IS AS SUCH THAT THE CAR LOOK DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CAR.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort VERY SPACIOUS ,WIPER SWITH SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE LEFT OF STEERING.EACH PARTS GIVEN IN FORD IS VERY STRONG AND DURABLE AND HAVING EXTRA EDGE OVER OTHER COMPETITORS.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox VERY GOOD ,MILEGE SHOULD INCREASE TO 16 IN TOWN. SMOOTH CHANGING OF SHIFTING OF GEARS. GENERALLY CAR FROM FORD IS KNOWN TO BE GOOD IN ENGINE ESPECIALLY FROM DIESEL VERSION BUT I FOUND THAT PETROL VERSION OF FORD IS EQUALLY GOOD WITH VERY MINIMAL NOISE OF ENGINE UNLIKE TATA INDICA CARS.

 

Ride Quality & Handling EXCELLENT SMOOTH DRIVING.THE CONTROL AND ROAD GRIP OF THE CAR IS ABSOLUTELY SUPERP.

 

Final Words VALUE FOR MONEY IN THE HATCHBACK SEGMENT . IT IS OUTSTANDING THE WAY SALE IS ZOOMING UP MONTH AFTER MONTH THE DAYS ARE NOT FAR THAT FIGO WOULD SURPASS THE SALES OF I10 OR RITZ FROM ITS PEER COMPETITORS.

 

Areas of improvement POWER WINDOW IN THE BACK SEAT, FEW MORE INCHES OF GROUND CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED, TO AVOID BUMPERS IN OUR COUNTRY.

 

GOOD LOOKING EXCELLENT PICK UP SAFETY CARE IS LOOKED UPON.FUEL CONSUMPTION BACK POWER WINDOW
