Good option for city driving

 

Exterior As the shape is "kienitic" specifics, the looks are different than that of Swift which is widely seen on the road. There are better options like POLO or MICRA but they take lot of cost along with the brandname.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are the best provided by Ford, even Fiesta does not have some of them. Space is good, comfortable to drive for long distances. Features like bluetooth u&me are very helpful when you are driving and also need to attend the phone calls, no more watching cops on the road while driving the car :).

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Figo(Diesel ZXI) carries 1.4 TDI engine which is been used in Fiesta, it a proven engine, better reffer to the reviews of Fiesta's engine as its been into market for long time now. I drive in the traffic of Pune and i am getting 18+kmpl with AC and 20+kmpl on Highway with AC (avg. speed 80 - 100 on highway).

 

Ride Quality & Handling Since this engine has got turbo, the vehile takes good pickup at 2000RPM, this puts you ahead on the traffic signals. Figo is better in controlling due to good grip on the road.

 

Final Words  Cost of servicing and spare-part are as low as maruti swift, cost of servicing is also less. Check out cost of first servicing for other brands, you will see the difference. Reason for low cost of spares is because Ford now get them from Chennai Factory and also official declaration from Ford about cost reduction in the spares due to competition.

 

Areas of improvement Dealership network, which is already in progress.
