For first time car buyers

 

Exterior I love the car looks. This is the only plus.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interior looks like 3 yr old car!. No rear power windows. seat belts are of very poor quality. Plastic used is dirt chep. cheaper than Tata and Beat. 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Noisy engine. You can hear the road noice inside very clearly.  figo gearbox is hard to change, i found i10 gear are smoother to change. figo does not woble at high speed, but it knocks below 30 and hence not good to operate as far as new buyers are concerned. As i am a regular driver and drives 30kms everyday (I am a good driver 😎 ) , i get milage of 12 km/ltr. But if you are first time buyer, you will get 10-11 km/ltr. Hence you need to improve your driving skill to get an average of 12km/ltr. i10(Kappa) petrol fetched me 18km/ltr. and swift petrol gives 13-15 km/ltr.

 

Ride Quality & Handling People says ford cars are driver friendly. Give me a break i find i10 or maruti swift and even Beat better than Figo for Ride quality and handling. Beat does not knock even if you are in 4th gear and your speed is below 30. Low pick up.

 

Final Words If you want space, comfort and low engine noise, go for tata indica vista. If you want good milage go for Ritz diesel. If you are not worried about price and want a good car then volkswagan polo is for you. If you want a good engine and good style, then go for Fiat punto. If you need good service go for maruti or hundai car. If you want less maintainance and service cost and wanted to just add fuel and drive, go for Beat. If you want cheep car go for Figo! (Although i would suggest not to go for it, if you are first time buyer.). Also if you want to drive the car for 4-5 yrs and then want a good resale price, Figo is not for you. As per my experience you will be selling the ford car for the price of scrap

 

Areas of improvement Milage, engine noice, suspension, gear box, service, colors, power windows actually nothing is perfect. The best part is all the features provided are either average or poor, nothing is perfect except looks and price tag.
