5.0 Exterior | 5.0 Comfort | 3.0 Performance |
3.0 Fuel Economy | 5.0 Value for Money |
Exterior Brilliantly designed car to say the least, very attractive looking and stylish, makes a nice statement
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interiors are designed well, with a number of niches to store your things, the door pockets too are deep and hold a lot of stuff, The seats are pretty decent and quite comfortable with good thigh and back support the dual tone fabric is really good and looks like it is made to last. Leg space is ample in the front and the rear leg space is really commendable, the rear seat is also comfortable with good support.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine performance is pretty decent, I owned a FIAT Palio 1.6 GTX sport 100 BHP, though there is no comparison to the FIAT, the FIGO holds its own. The engine is smooth and refined and the power delivery in our crazy city-traffic is more than sufficient. The cars pick up is pretty decent and the gear box is smooth and positioning of the gear lever also is comfortable. Really sorry but I have'nt really bothered about the mileage right now, as Iam still enjoying driving the car around
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is pretty decent, I currently also own a Fiat Grande punto Dynamic Diesel, the ride and handling of the Figo cannot be compared to that of the Fiat Punto whose ride quality and handling is simply the best in its class (Punto extremely stable even at a top whack of 170kmph). The handling too in the Figo is pretty decent, I havent yet taken the Figo on along drive, will let you guys know about its high speed handling after a long trip soon.
Final Words The Figo is really great value for money and no other car of its size can match upto its price. If its value for money, with pretty decent handling and mileage is what you are looking for GO for The FIGO. If its killer and head turning ooomph you are looking for go for the PUNTO. I own them both.
Good Value for money, sexy looking car especially in REDBonet opener on left side, Turn and wiper controls reversed
