The car is superb, has lots and lots of features

 

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.
