    PURCHASE:

    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior It is simply awesome. I took a test drive last week and booked it right away. It has got the looks a 2012 hatch should have. Portion below the bonnet (where the fog lights are) steals the show. It is made of a flexible material that is dent free. As in when there a hit to the front section, it automatically regains its original shape. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The titanium model has all the safety features along with a pretty decent music system and powerful A/C. It has bluetooth connectivity with which I play music from my cell phone and need no CD or USB. The car rear windows are manual. The idea is during monsoon the doors and power windows get jammed thereby making it difficult for the passengers to get out. The manual rear windows will help in getting out in case the doors and front windows are jammed. The boot space is tremendous and can easily carry 2-3 medium - large sized bags for a long drive. Do not get anything fitted from outside. The company and showroom scrap the warranty in case you do.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  Pick up of the car is a steal. You accelerate and it vrooms.The gear is smooth and easy to handle. Fuel economy as of now with the A/C looks like 12 in the city. I will confirm on this a little later. It is no noise engine and during the first 2-3 drives it was difficult to gauge whether the car has started or not.

    Ride Quality & Handling Its a "fun to drive" car. Driving this car is a thrilling experience and is easy to manoeuvre. There is no engine noise at high speeds. The ground clearance is fine and it is comfortable while crossing over speed breakers. The car is very easy to handle. It has power steering in real sense. Test drive one to know what I am talking about. The side mirrors are decent.

    Final Words I have heard a lot about low mileage. To get fully loaded better mileage cars, you pay a lakh extra anyways upfront while buying the car. Hence low mileage in this car (which I will check) is justified by paying high upfront. The sales execs were very helpful and knowledgeable. Ford Figo is a good value for money car considering the pricing, features and driving experience. The car is robust, spaces, very awesome handling and well built.

    Areas of improvement Will comment once I have one.

    Good Fuel Economy, Awesome Exteriors, Good Boot SpaceNothing
