Feature Rich Hatchback with more value for your money !

 

Exterior When I want to upgrade my existing car (Indica Zeta Petrol, I am a die-hard TATA fan with Indian car inclination, my past cars also from TATA) and looking for not so sporty, and at the same time look fashionable, I converged to FIGO due to its external appeal, particularly rear side. Front is not so sharp, but OK.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) This area is the best in its segment or class. All features are rich, some not even found in high end sedans!

1. I fell flat for the bluetooth feature. Excellant quality. I feel,  Indian Govt. should make it a must for all Cars in view of safety measures.

2. Next comes Built-in Radio-FM-MP3-CD player with rear speakers buil-in rear doors, which is a unique in hatchbacks. Audio output quality is crystal clear and sharp. 

3. Enough Boot space, amazing in a hatchback !

4. Rear wiper, Electrically operated Outside Rear View Mirror, Remote Boot open, Defogger, Keyless entry, Immobilizer, Tubeless tyres, foldable handle with coat hook, radio antenna, driver seat height adjustment...the list goes on

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox When I test drive, I felt they might have brought Petrol Car !! Smooth, noise less performance except you shift gears suddenly. I had both petrol and diesel cars previously. So far I drove 600 KM that too in city. It gave me 15KMPL. But other FIGO friends saying that they are getting 20-22KMPL. Smooth gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling Really enjoying every bit and minute of FIGO drive. Sometime creating works to take out FIGO!!

Final Words Not just value, More value for money!!

Areas of improvement Front Look(similar to all other fords) can be still sharper and stylish !!
