5.0 Exterior | 5.0 Comfort | 5.0 Performance |
5.0 Fuel Economy | 5.0 Value for Money |
Exterior- still impressive
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)- did not feel any problem on a Non stop drive from Shimla to Delhi
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox- Good performance, any time RPM crosses 2000, the fuel consumption increases. Otherwise if one can compromise on fuel economy then 130 KMPH is a sturdy speed.
Ride Quality & Handling- Very comfortable
Final Words- even after driving 8500 KMs I find the car response very good, No noise inside the cabin. I have been driving with the AC on through out. Even negotiating steep bends the response and grip is best in class. People are comparing it with I20 and POLO, we should understand that the Top end Figo cost 1.14 Lakh less. Therefore, there are few features less, however, from safety point of view this car is far superior. Fuel economy is good.
Now for those who have bought this car for the first time, please do not compare with a petrol car. Diesel cars have their inherent drawbacks.I did Delhi-Shimla in my Petrol car earlier and now in Figo. There is a difference in response and power (Petrol is better) but then Petrol is very expensive. If one knows limitation of Diesel then there is no problem. Full tank of Figo can ensure a trip to shimla and back(Delhi).
Areas of improvement - Nothing much, mud flaps could have been rubberized instead of molded plastic.
